Show HN: Let's Block It – Custom uBlock Origin Filters Made Easy
uBlock Origin is more than an ad-blocker, it's a general purpose content filter that can be leveraged to hide low-quality content from pages you browse. While the main filter lists can remove mailing list popups and obvious nags, the definition of low-quality content is personal, so one size cannot fit all.<p>I used to have an ad-hoc script to render and publish a personal uBlock Origin filter list, added to all my browsers. The goal of this project is to enable more people to build such a list custom list to filter out low-quality content and nags. Chose from a list of community-maintained templates, set your options, add your custom rules, and get your personal filter list.<p>Code and content are licensed under the Apache 2.0 license and hosted on <a href="https://github.com/xvello/letsblockit" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/xvello/letsblockit</a>. The project is still pretty young and needs more filter templates, and lots of frontend improvements (my last web project was in 2005, this is not my forte). Any feedback is welcome!

Show HN: Marginalia – Exploration Mode
I've been a bit obsessed with the idea of flipping through the internet a bit like you would a magazine, of undirected browsing as a discovery mechanism, and I think I'm approaching something that's beginning to feel pretty fun.<p>The link at the top will return results out of a pool of approximately 10,000 domains, you can refresh to get new ones. You can also explore in a directed fashion by using the 'Similar Domains'-buttons. These are not random.<p>A sampler, beyond the random sites offered with the head link<p><a href="https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/www.amiga-news.de" rel="nofollow">https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/www.amiga-news.de</a><p><a href="https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/www.aaronsw.com" rel="nofollow">https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/www.aaronsw.com</a><p><a href="https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/therealbitcoin.org" rel="nofollow">https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/therealbitcoin.org</a><p>I don't have thumbnails for all 500k domains in the database yet, but I think it's getting to a number where it's reasonable useful.

Show HN: Bulk convert images online without sending to server
There are lots of solutions already, but most solutions have too many ads or they process on server(privacy concern).<p>Webutils convert all images on client using webassembly.

Show HN: CodeCaptcha - Hide web links behind coding challenges
Hello HN, I made this silly project over the long weekend. It’s pretty basic right now and the captchas are very easy. I plan to add captcha difficulty levels for link creators soon.

Show HN: Matrix-CRDT – real-time collaborative apps using Matrix as backend
Hi HN! Matrix-CRDT connects the worlds of Yjs [1] (a proven, high performance CRDT) with that of Matrix.org [2].<p>It started as an experiment, asking myself; can we store "state updates of a datastore" in Matrix instead of chat messages? Now, I'm convinced it's actually a really powerful combination to develop real-time, collaborative software.<p>I'm using it for a new project and so far didn't have to write a backend yet. Matrix takes care of a lot of stuff: Authentication, E2EE, federation, hosting, etc. - so I can focus on the client.<p>I love the ideas of Local First [3] software. Personally, I'm convinced the technologies in this ecosystem (CRDTs, etc) are really powerful and can do more to decentralize software than many web3 technologies that currently receive much of the hype.<p>However, it's still early days, so I decided to open source parts that I think will be useful to others (I recently also shared SyncedStore [4])<p>[1] https://github.com/yjs/yjs<p>[2] https://www.matrix.org<p>[3] https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/<p>[4] https://www.syncedstore.org
