Re:What Is the Nicest Thing a Stranger Has Ever Done for You? on Saturday December 13, 2025 @12:02PM (#46256005)
My best friend, his girlfriend, brother, sister and I piled into a minivan in July of 2018 and drove from Boston to SF. Best friend and I both took jobs there out of school and decided to make a trip of the life move.

We painted BOS > SF on the back window. At a gas station in Memphis a random guy walked up to us and said "Make sure you go to Graceland. Can't miss it."

We sort of smile and nod politely and then walk into the gas station to use the bathroom, reload on snacks etc.

10 mins later we come back outside and the same guy comes over "I bought you all tickets to Graceland, who can I text them to?"

Truly such a sick moment. Graceland was a highlight of the trip and to have someone just do such a random kind thing made it that much better. Long live Elvis, long live the King. Thanks again to whoever you are that did that. Respect.

yes its great for engagement. comments help too, so thanks
I fully intend to open source it and will circle back to this post when I do. I am actually breaking ground now on a mobile supabase client as well. Separate app entirely but with the same goal.
Currently supports read/write ops on firestore collections and documents + editing remote config. I am adding support for cloud messaging as we speak!
Epic!

Great call - I will add those in the coming days. Appreciate it!

Ask HN: Help me understand if my site is secure

Hey HN,I have been working on a new website to replace a site that I used to use multiple times a day. Sometime last week passwordsgenerator.net went down and has not come back online. Though I know there are a million ways to do this, and some that are probably faster than passwordsgenerator, the tool became a part of my day to day workflow when clients require I provision new unique keys...

I think I fixed it so it shows the horizontal bar on older browsers.
Thanks so much for the screenshot, I will definitely look into that. It is a cryptographic random generator using a package that wraps cryptoJS
exactly
just for page visits w/ google analytics.
I'm not able to repro the vertical scroll bar. Did you mean horizontal? It will scroll horizontally past a certain point. The code is not open source but I could definitely make it such that it is, I think that is a good idea. I am using a random generator, yes.
love it!
