Ask HN: Reference applications to idiomatically learn languages/frameworks?

I'm interested in seeing any languages, frameworks, and domains. Ideally these would be production applications and not tutorial apps. Here are some examples to get you thinking:- A rails/spring/phoenix web application to learn how to structure code, handle authentication, front-end code, and common dependencies used- A GIS application that uses an open source mapping library such as Leaflet,...

There's a bug on the page. If your screen width is wider than portrait tablet size the first question is not rendered.
According to the author cloud domains are shutting down as well.
Re:Some Blogging Myths on Monday June 05, 2023 @08:02PM (#36206184)
I recommend https://bearblog.dev (free) or https://ghost.org (paid). Both let you use your own domain.

It's fun to set up static site generators but I think it's better to pick something you can start writing in immediately instead of spending time thinking about what to use.

If you end up enjoying blogging you can switch to different software later if you like. But don't let that stop you from starting to write now.

Some technical details about the project you may find interesting:

- They were hosted on Digital Ocean but received a (probably invalid) DMCA takedown and all their servers were shut down by DO

- In response they bought an IPv4 block and built an Anycast CDN so complaints go to Neocities instead of the hosting provider

- People sometimes host spam or phishing sites on the domain which can cause google to flag it as malicious[0]

- There's a geocities gallery by the same author kyle[1]

I interviewed kyle if you want to hear more about the project[2].

Re:We moved from Pony to Rust on Wednesday October 06, 2021 @04:50PM (#28778259)
Last year they discussed why they didn’t choose rust (predicted 12-18 months to build a runtime that met their requirements) or erlang (performance too slow):

"Business Starter" accounts are a different category of account that can't join or create a family (To share YouTube Premium, YouTube TV, etc). Also, if you stop paying your email account gets suspended.

Individual is a "normal" Google account and doesn't increase your storage from the default 15GB or support custom domains. But if you stop paying you still have a valid @gmail account and just lose access to the additional features.

For browsers that do not support HLS you can use a JavaScript HLS client implementation[0] using Media Source Extensions[1].

If you want this functionality you can encode the video into chunks at multiple quality levels using video2hls[0] and host them anywhere you like[1].

GoatCounter is open source and there’s a free hosted option for non commercial use:

jekyll:

+ plugin support

+ large community with lots of themes/plugins

- need to install ruby and dependencies

- slow to build large sites

zola:

+ easy install (precompiled binary)

+ fast
