A Video editor landing pages with still screenshots doesn't do any justice for new comer. The power can only be shown with smal 10-30s in-inline videos.
Re:Stacked PRs are now live on GitHub on Thursday July 30, 2026 @11:16PM (#49118601)
Stacked PRs are not a new GitHub capability. They are an accessibility. Why so hype?

The underlying stacked PR workflow is unchanged:

1. Create branch B from branch A.

2. Open PR A against main.

3. Open PR B against branch A.

4. Repeat for additional layers.

- THE 100X ORGANIZATION The common narrative is that AI makes everyone more productive. It doesn't. Many of the workflows of today, if left unchanged, create bottlenecks in AI systems.

- THE BUILDERS: 10X ENGINEERS If your best engineers are spending time reviewing other people's code, then this is inherently an inefficient bottleneck. These engineers can review their agent's code much faster than reviewing human code.

- THE BUILDERS: 10X PRODUCT MANAGERS The bottleneck of user research is gone. It takes us just one mention of an agent to kickoff research and analyze results.

We have been using Caddy for many years now. Picked just because it has automatic cert provisioning. Caddy is really an easier alternative, secure out of the box.

Great to see your usage @anitil. These aren't just static dummy mocks. Beeceptor looks at schema, fields, description, format, datatypes, and then generats a realistic mock responses to match real response.

Hi HN!I'm Ankit, the founder of Beeceptor, a request mocking and intercepting tool. This time, I built something new to address a pain I’ve personally felt (and heard from dozens of QA, frontend, and platform teams): making OpenAPI specs actually useful during development.API contracts just sit around as docs often. What if you could 'activate' them, instantly have a realistic, hosted mock...

Show HN: CORS-Tester – Making CORS errors easier to debug

https://cors-error.dev/cors-tester/

Being a frontend dev, I’ve spent hours staring at the console for CORS errors. It’s great for security, but it’s a real pain to troubleshoot, especially with all the 2nd or 3P APIs we rely on for webapps.That’s why I built this CORS-Tester => to help pinpoint exactly what's going wrong with CORS for that API!Your feedback or suggestions are welcome to make it better.

Ask HN: Does AI-Generated Text/Images Affect Search Engine Rankings?

Posted by ankit84 on Monday September 23, 2024 @09:27AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Is it safe to assume that search engines are now mainstream in detecting and ranking AI-generated content lower, especially if it’s repetitive or of lower quality?- How do search engines handle thousands of auto-generated articles being published daily?- Does including AI-generated images in a blog post impact SEO positively or negatively?- With the increasing prevalence of AI-written content,...

I feel the home page should have input vs output examples. A picture tells 1000 words. I don't want to signup unless I see the value.

It isn't just developer experience.

- Can I trust you?

- Where are your company credentials?

- What's the business continuity plan?

- What's your support? Sending an email to hi@ may not work, when my application is dead because of some bug at your end.

Another good alternative https://beeceptor.com/

* named subdomain / endpoints

* Build Rest API and Mocking responses

* HTTP Intercepting

* HTTP Proxy pass

* nice UI, live updating, json formatting, sharable requests, etc

Http://beeceptor.com is another hosted one. And it gives named endpoints for drop-in replacement for API base url.
