Re:Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)? on Sunday August 25, 2024 @07:02AM (#41346354)
Currently working solo on the MVP of https://web2ebook.com/.

It's a tool to scratch my own itch, which is converting all kinds of web content into ebooks and send them to my ereader.

Currently focusing on web pages/Atom/RSS feeds but I may extend it later e.g. into transcribing videos + extracting image highlights.

Feedback/ideas are already appreciated. :)

I don't think anybody said that Fly.io is/has a managed Postgres service.
Re:ElephantSQL Is Shutting Down on Sunday April 07, 2024 @02:13PM (#39962546)
Fly.io is covered. Here's the list of all hosting services currently supported:

Glad you like it.

Good point, the library I'm using just encodes the array in JSON but I may be able to switch to a comma separated list.
Re:ElephantSQL Is Shutting Down on Sunday April 07, 2024 @09:04AM (#39960487)
Thanks, on my list now.
Re:ElephantSQL Is Shutting Down on Sunday April 07, 2024 @07:31AM (#39960084)
Thanks! Will be adding.

This might help people when looking for an alternative.

https://wheretohostmy.app/?tech=%5B%22postgresql%22%5D

It's a side project I'm currently building so hearing some feedback is highly appreciated.

Thanks for letting me know! That's definitely something that I don't have an eye for (yet). Hope you are talking mainly about visuals here and not had any issues that completely prevented you from using the tool.
Hey HN, would love if some of you could try out the tool I have been working on over the last few weeks and provide some feedback. :)

It's still in an early phase and I'm currently trying to optimize the matching algorithm (technology -> hosting provider) as much as possible.

Here's the stack for those who are interested: - Sveltekit - TailwindCSS - MongoDB

Enjoy your day!

Re:Show HN: Interactive Cheatsheet about CORS on Tuesday February 20, 2024 @04:27AM (#39439370)
Glad you like it.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I did. The preflight response node lists all required and optional headers. The same as in the preflight request node. Let me know if I missed something.

Re:Show HN: Interactive Cheatsheet about CORS on Monday February 19, 2024 @05:14AM (#39427956)
Hey HN,

this cheatsheet is the result of me building on of my recent side projects. It essentially includes everything there is to know about CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing).

blockedbycors.dev is my try at finding a solution to the endless stream of people being annoyed with CORS issues. So if you happen to encounter anyone that is in this situation, I'd be very glad if you could refer them to the page.

Currently the project is still in an MVP phase, but there's a lot more planned. Just trying to figure out what helps people the most at the moment. :) Cheers, Max

If you find any mistakes or see room for improvements please let me know.
Background: Microsoft stopped developing this SDK September last year¹. Right now they are suggesting to use the OpenCensus project². IMO this is too big of a framework if my only use case is to send a few metrics to Application Insights. Furthermore it does not support all features (e.g. tracking availability).
