Re:Show HN: Tmux-grid – a visual layout builder for tmux on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @08:10AM (#47764569)
i apologize for my heresy on doing this!

i'm actually swinging into two different approaches for my tmux panes and none of them conform to what tmux expects (again, i'm sorry for that!)

i miss kitty's way of doing stuff so i had to make some sense out of tmux and ghostty to make the change less brutal! i also suck at remembering keybinds

my other approach is, on doing `cmd+enter` running the following script https://gist.github.com/ItzaMi/d8da1e779d05ce40a66ed75ddeae2...

this allows me to create panes just the way i want while only having to remember one keybind (which was already the one i used for kitty!)

i guess this means i find my layouts very precious!

Hi HN!I've been using kitty for a while but yesterday i decided to switch to ghostty and i realized that i would need tmux to manage my panes if i wanted to get the grid as i wantedSo i made the reasonable thing: built a visualizer for the layout so i can just copy the setup and drop the `.sh` wherever i needI probably missed a few thing in this but it's my first day with tmux any feedback...

Show HN: Buggy – a privacy-first baby tracker (iOS, offline, no account)

I became a dad recently and couldn’t find a baby tracker that didn’t require an account or cloud sync. So I built Buggy:- Works fully offline; data is stored locally on device - No account, no analytics SDKs, no ads - 2-tap logging for feeds, diapers, sleep; simple charts for patterns - Paid upfront (€2.99) so there’s no subscription or trackingTech: React Native / Expo No 3rd-party SDKs; the...

Makes absolute sense, clearly forgot a CTA there! Thank you!

Show HN: SnapDone – An habit tracker with visual proof

https://www.snapdone.app/

I built SnapDone with the intent of making myself accountable for my habits. The idea of it is simple: - you create a habit and suggest a prompt of what the photo you'll take should show - once you want to mark one as completed, you snap a photo, and the system will try to match the photo against the prompt

1. What are your plans now? 2. Your style seems unique, and even your mood board that you shared with the designer has a particular style; did you always gravitate towards that type of art? If not, how did you come upon it?
Re:Tailwind V4 Is Finally Out on Thursday January 23, 2025 @04:58AM (#42802500)
> Historically, we avoided this to maintain a separation of concerns, but it's puzzling why some prefer reintroducing similar methods. Is it just to save a few keystrokes?

In bigger projects, if we start looking at the amount of files one has to deal with, Tailwind becomes very appealing. We've went through the regular `.css` route but then you have weird names, and, potentially, duplications or even conflicts. `css modules` is an option but you've now essentially duplicating the number of files that you have for each component / page. `sass` or `less` essentially bring the problems from `css modules` and regular `.css` into one.

I don't inherently like or dislike Tailwind (although I very much started by absolutely disliking it) but you feel its value in a project with 200+ files composed of components and pages

The project is outstanding but the fact that you've documented everything AND did a video about it speaks volumes about what you'll achieve if you keep at it
All points make a lot of sense, thank you for your reply!
I did but I've been feeling that the LLMs end up giving an average solution / something that I don't fully understand / the same solution that just looks slightly different and I think I'll end up getting influenced by its responses instead of thinking by myself or learning from others

Show HN: I'm learning Go and built a scraper. How can I improve it?

TLDR: I'm learning Go and [this](https://github.com/ItzaMi/compare-supermarket-prices) is my first project with it. What am I doing wrong and what could I improve?In an attempt to expand my horizons and actually get into backend development, I've decided to learn Go. I picked it for no reason other than the market seems to be in a friendly state towards it, compared to Elixir, but I'm very much...

Re:Blog Writing for Developers (2023) on Tuesday November 05, 2024 @12:04PM (#42053274)
Are you open to do it with Node? I wrote a blog post[0] with a fairly easy setup. If you're using markdown and any markdown processor you should be good to go.

Hey! Long-time lurker, first-time poster! I'm pretty excited to share ItzaHabit, a habit tracker that I feel like it works for me and could be helpful for other peopleWhat it does: it's a habit tracker! But I never enjoyed how most of them organize stuff by months since that doesn't fit with my philosophy, and since just showing consistency is what lands the trick for me, the visualization of...

Ask HN: Good projects with LiveView and Phoenix for a newbie

I'm a front-end developer trying to learn Elixir/Phoenix and LiveView, and right now I'm trying to figure out what could be some good projects to start with. I guess I'm not fully aware of LiveView's capability and that's why I have so many doubts about it. As of now I've followed Chris McCord's Twitter clone video[1] and Dennis Beatty Todo List[2]Any ideas or guides would be great. I...

Ask HN: What do you use to organize your study / work as a developer?

Lately I've been using Notion a lot to keep up with my work and studies.

Ask HN: Best resources to learn Elixir/Phoenix

Hi! I'm a front-end developer but I'm interested in diving into a back-end language and Elixir/Phoenix caught my attention due to LiveView.Currently I'm using an udemy course (https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix-bootcamp-and-tutorial/) and although it has been great, I fear that I might be missing something important along the way.I've also looked into Elixir School for...
