Re:A Plugin to Supercharge Herdr on Thursday June 11, 2026 @02:03PM (#48494088)
Check out Herdr Plus! Just a tool to add a little extra functionality to https://herdr.dev/

I wanted a quick and easy way to restore my projects and start them up from templates that I create.

I wanted a quick action menu to do actions like build my projects and open GitHub PRs and such.

I hope this functionality comes to Herdr natively someday.

But until then, here's a little tool for you to use.

Would love feedback from anybody as to how to improve this or add more functionality.

I really see this as the supercharge that takes Herdr to the next level for my productivity.

Thanks! Totally up for feedback, feature requests, and bug reports.
I built SpiceEdit because I didn't need the bloat of VS Code anymore now that most work is done via agents. But at the same time I don't manually code enough to have enough muscle memory to use something like NeoVim.

I wanted an editor that worked over SSH, played nice with tmux, and was easy to use.

SpiceEdit is a mouse-first code editor for SSH workflows. Click a file, tweak a line, save, and get back to your agents.

Re:Remote SQLite access your remote SQLite databases locally on Thursday March 26, 2026 @01:08PM (#47532984)
Howdy,

It's a Mac OS X app that creates a local proxy to a remote server that has a SQLite database. Then you can use tools like TablesPlus or any other GUI to access and manage your remote database. The app does not just download the database locally. It accesses the SQLite database on the remote server, and proxies the results back.

I haven't released the app yet, but I'm looking for some beta testers to run through this app and find any edge cases that I've missed.

I wrote a little manifesto here: https://remotesqlite.com/

If you're interested in signing up to be a beta tester, you can sign up here: https://remotesqlite.com/beta/signup

As a beta tester, I'll give you a free license, in exchange for you putting the app through its paces and providing any feedback or bugs or issues you might come up with.

Thanks. ~Spicer

To follow up on something, there's no ChatGPT helping landlords automate paperwork. I just used AI tools to build the code. Not sure how it's evil to help a landlord do their job. In fact, this paper work is very helpful in allowing the tenant to apply for rental assistance. Some landlords can even slow down a tenant's progression in gaining rental assistance because they don't do the paperwork correctly or on time.
Sorry you don't get the business idea. My guess is you're not a landlord in Oregon. The paperwork is very time-consuming, and often gets your case thrown out of eviction court if it's not done perfectly. Oregon has become an extremely landlord-friendly state. The first step of getting the notice correct is so important.

Also, there's a lot of value in having a third-party service notice for you. Then there's an arm's length transaction showing that the proper notice was served in the proper way.

There's lots of sleaze-bag lawyers out there that will represent a tenant for free because they immediately see something wrong in how the service is done. They know the case will be thrown out. And they could pass on their legal fees to the landlord, who obviously has money. This happens over and over and over again.

So there's actually a lot of value in what I am offering landlords here.

I'm not sure I understand your "rather insulting" comment about posts being written in ChatGPT. Of course I use AI to help me write better blog posts. Just like I would use AI to write better code. I would call it insulting anyone who doesn't write a blog post using AI. AI is an incredibly powerful tool, and anyone who doesn't run their blog posts through it isn't trying to use all available tools to make the best possible product (ie a blog post). With that said, all the ideas in the blog post came from me. I had several rounds of edits with AI. So I simply disagree with your submission that it's dumb or insulting to use ChatGPT to write a blog post.

Re:Example Zero DTE Options SPX Iron Butterfly Trade on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @10:41PM (#41386741)
Yes, this is hacker news. But lots of investor types here. Also this strategy is completely automated using some pretty slick golang code.

Ask me anything about the trade or code......

I really hope The National Association of Realtors change course and begin to focus more on excellence than moats!
