Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)

Im working on a form backend app - fun little project I'm building on the side. It's pretty simple and self-explanatory - you point your HTML form to a url the app gives you and you can start accepting submissions without having to worry about backend code/infra. Would love to hear from you if you found it useful in some way or another. https://basilform.com
Show HN: A fun website for dev rants
Hey HN,I've seen and experienced some wild things in the field, and I'm sure you all have too. To give us a space to vent, laugh, and share our experiences, I created a website called preachingdevs.com.This fun little side project had been sitting in my backlog for quite some time, and I finally brought it to life this weekend.You can rant about anything dev related - positive or negative....

Re:The dumbest todo app as a Chrome extension
on Tuesday May 24, 2022 @10:57AM (#31492959)
Hey, guys!
I just submitted my first ever chrome extension called Axioma. It's a minimalistic, no frills todo app. The main feature is what I like to call at-a-glance UI. Meaning, the app doesn't hide anything from you. All of your todos are neatly organised in boxes (cards, categories, whatever). There's no nested menus, smart categorisations, tagging mechanisms, formatting etc. Axioma is quite dumb, but that's the point. Kinda sick with software trying to be smart about anything, especially about checkboxes. :D
I made it primarily for personal use, but decided it'd be handy for everyone else. It's free, no registration needed, etc. Enjoy! :)

Re:Ask HN: How do you organize information: by type or context?

This is exactly what I'd do as well. But let's think in a more broader terms. For example in my house we organize good by type. Fruits go in one place, meat in another, milk and milk products in third etc. But, isn't a context-oriented organization more reasonable? Food for breakfast goes in one place, food for dinner in another etc.?

Think of my question in a more generic terms. Here's another example in the context of software development. Do you have a place in your codebase for all of your controllers, another for all of the models etc? Or do you prefer to have users folder with controllers and models subfolders etc.?
Ask HN: How do you organize information: by type or context?
Here's a simple example.You read a book about human's brain and find something particularly interesting that you'd like to remember.You open your notetaking app of choice and are presented with the following dilemma: to put the quote in a folder called "quotes" or in a folder called "humans-brain". What do you do?I'm particularly interested in the topic of organizing information and would be...
