Show HN: Encycla – like GitHub for knowledge
Hi HN! There's been lots of note-taking / personal knowledge tools developed in the past few years. But there's a big difference between working with people you already know and collaborating with anyone on the internet.<p>Right now, if you're interested in, say DIY air purifiers[1], you could throw up a document or webpage. But there's no good way for people you don't already know to work on it, to make it their own. If you're writing software, the answer is obvious: publish a Git repository on GitHub/GitLab.<p>With Encycla, we're building a sort of "GitHub for knowledge": a place where you can create simple, topical webpages that others can fork and asynchronously push & pull changes from (without knowing about Git or anything technical).<p>On the backend, every page on Encycla is a git repository containing Markdown that you can clone, edit independently of the Encycla website, push to other services (such as GitHub, GitLab), etc.<p>For instance, here's a page on Encycla:<p><a href="https://encycla.com/KF94" rel="nofollow">https://encycla.com/KF94</a><p>and the underlying git repository pushed to GitHub:<p><a href="https://github.com/philipn/KF94" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/philipn/KF94</a><p>1. <a href="https://encycla.com/Corsi-Rosenthal_Cube" rel="nofollow">https://encycla.com/Corsi-Rosenthal_Cube</a>

Show HN: Hibiki HTML – New frontend framework – no scaffolding, no Webpack
Source <a href="https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki</a> | Interactive Tutorial <a href="https://playground.hibikihtml.com/tutorial/" rel="nofollow">https://playground.hibikihtml.com/tutorial/</a><p>I love JavaScript, but for many projects -- especially internal tools and prototypes -- setting up a full frontend JavaScript stack (npm, webpack, babel, create-react-app, redux) and all of their configuration files, folders, and scaffolding is overkill.<p>Hibiki HTML incrementally plugs into any backend, using any template language (even static HTML files) with a single script include. It includes a built-in frontend data model, Vue.js-like rendering, built-in AJAX integration, and a full component/library system.<p>It is also <i>fully scriptable</i> from your backend AJAX handlers. Anything that Hibiki HTML can do on the frontend can be done with a remote handler by returning specially formatted JSON <i>actions</i>. This allows you to write frontend logic (that would normally be JavaScript code) in your backend handlers.<p>Background -- Hibiki HTML is a standalone, open-source, more powerful version of the frontend language that I had built for my internal tools startup Dashborg over the past year. It is a reaction against the extreme amount of scaffolding and configuration required to set up a new frontend project, especially when you're a backend/devops/data engineer who isn't a JavaScript expert. As more Hibiki libraries are written, the advantages will hopefully become even more clear.<p>I'd love to get all of your feedback, questions, and comments. Would love a star on Github if you like the idea. Also, feel free to email me, and/or join the Slack workspace I set up (contact info on Github or the tutorial).

Show HN: MockRocket – 3D app mockups and animations in the browser
Hey HN,<p>I've spent a lot of time over the years building mockups and demo videos for my apps with tools like Photoshop and After Effects, always frustrated by how tedious it was.<p>For the past year and a half, I've been working on building a better way.<p>MockRocket makes it easy to show off your app, right from your web browser–no experience required. Choose a template, drag and drop a screenshot or video and display it on a realistic 3D device model. You can even animate it to create a video.<p>You can customize as much or as little as you want, and export in up to 4K resolution. All rendering is done in the browser, not on a server–using WebGL and WebAssembly–so your imported designs stay 100% private.<p>This is the first release! Please let me know if you have any feedback or questions!
