Show HN: Hacker XP – Hacker News styled as a Windows XP Outlook email client
Hello HN, sharing my weekend project. I'm a fan of retro GUIs and fan of HN, so I built an alternative HN front end that resembles a Window XP desktop with an old Outlook email client.<p>Archive and github links if you get 500 errors:<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220122190454/https://hackerxp.com/new" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20220122190454/https://hackerxp....</a><p><a href="https://github.com/assemblylanguage/hacker-xp" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/assemblylanguage/hacker-xp</a>

Show HN: Get latest replies to an HN user
Hi HN,<p>I hacked a simple service for gathering HN replies and organizing them by the parent's username.<p>The main idea is to be able to efficiently get the latest replies to an HN user. For example, you can use this service to send yourself notifications when some replies to you on HN.<p>The service queries the official HN API and can be self-hosted. It is basically ~30 lines of Bash script. I made this mostly for educational purposes -- thought you might find it useful for something.<p>Cheers!<p>Edit: for example, here are the latest replies to me [0]. It includes only recent replies, since I started the service just yesterday and it hasn't observed older replies.<p>[0] <a href="https://hnreplies.ggerganov.com/?u=ggerganov" rel="nofollow">https://hnreplies.ggerganov.com/?u=ggerganov</a>

Show HN: Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter
Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making.<p>Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter, ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been ignored.<p>This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so glad that I can finaly release this.<p>A bit more about the software
1. Powered by golang you can run load tests for tens of thousands of connections per second on very average hardware.
2. Cross platform, run it on Windows or Mac or host it on your linux machines
3. Lets you load test databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongodb out of the box.
4. Will keep adding more load testing targets in the future (even the more esoteric ones)<p>I hope to open source Loadjitsu soon and let users contribute new targets.
Hope this makes load testing fun again

Show HN: A simple tool to help filter recruiter spam
I made a tool for myself to act as a filter for recruiter messages.<p>I was tired of getting vague messages and doing the typical messaging back and forth only to hear the salary was too low or the job didn't have remote.<p>The tool lets you create a form with a selection of only the filters you want on there.
You give a unique link to recruiters that will take them to the your form
They can fill in your form (or not)
If their responses pass your filters you'll get an email. If their responses fail your filters, the recruiter gets an email saying so, so they know not to bother you again.<p>The idea is that recruiters can never see your filter values<p>You can rate limit individual recruiter submissions per day (they have to log in to submit)<p>Keen for any feedback thanks!<p>I'm especially keen for any feedback from recruiters if you do decide to use it :)<p>cheers,
