Re:Launch HN: Karsa (YC W25) – Buy and save stablecoins internationally
on Friday January 31, 2025 @11:52AM (#42889287)
This looks cool! Stablecoin on-ramps are still not perfect. I think it's important to meet customers where they're at, so a lot of the banking-centric onboarding options won't work everywhere. Don't really understand a lot of the criticism on this thread, seems to mostly be caused by the "crypto = bad" opinion. Good luck with Karsa, keep up the good work!

CTO of Vigilant here. Does anyone have ideas on how to do versioning for an SDK that you change often? Would putting new features in a "beta" release version make sense?

Thank you for the feedback, this is helpful!
One of the features we're excited about adding is a way to cache values locally. Having control of cache ttl and refresh intervals would be a must if we added that. You're right that the tool should just work without the developer worrying about affecting latency.

You could make a variable like `rollout_percent` that is an number. It could be set to 1. Then in your app you could do something like:
const rollout_percent = await varse_client.getNumber('rollout_percent');
const random_number = Math.random() * 100;
if (random_number <= rollout_percent) {
// do gated action and will trigger for 1% of users when rollout_percent === 1
}

The axios point is helpful, thank you for mentioning it. I'll make a bug ticket to fix.
Also, we should probably put restrictions the keyname scheme. Ideally, it should be something readable.

Yeah that's a good point. We meant application config. I will change the repo's description to reflect this.

Feature Flags looks like it's crafted around automated rollouts. Varse was designed to be more manual, just for reading / writing key - value pairs. You can use it to store long-lived variables like database_url. It could also be used for short lived variables like percent_db_migration_rollout.
Have you used Feature Flags in the past? I'm curious what your experience was.

It's a variable or config that gets injected into a server at runtime. At least that's what I've heard it called in the past. I think it's interchangeable with environment variable.
Show HN: Varse – Simple remote application config
https://github.com/varse-io/varse
Hey HN,We wanted a simple way to update application configs, without redeploying. We wanted to remotely set variables, and read them in our application. We created Varse to do this.Varse has a dashboard for creating key - value pairs and an SDK to read them. It's un-opinionated and allows for strings, booleans, or even json objects to be stored.We have instructions for running it yourself. We...
Show HN: Repaint – A visual editor for HTML and CSS
We’re Izak and Ben the founders of Repaint (YC S23). Repaint is an editor, like Figma, that natively exports code.We launched Repaint on HN a little over a month ago. At that point, it was a website builder. There was a lot of feedback that Repaint should directly export code. We took this feedback and decided to change the editor.We completely cut website hosting and decided to focus solely on...
Re:Ask HN: Why don't you like Figma to code?

The two-way sync does seem to be another problem with these export tools. Thanks for sharing, I'll take a look!
Ask HN: Why don't you like Figma to code?
It's a common sentiment that Figma to code tools don't work well. What exactly is bad about the code that these tools generate? Is it that the code doesn't look consistent with how'd you write it?Plugins either seem to either provide too little detail (Figma Dev mode) or feel too bloated (Anima).Has this been your experience as well? Do you have any alternatives that you've liked?

Since almost all websites use HTML / CSS, its the output format we wanted to target. If you don't use HTML it breaks things like SEO, accessibility, etc.

Our current API is design in the editor -> HTML / CSS. Exposing the internal data structure wouldn't work well. We've changed the structure multiple times in the past few months. We have plans to change it rather dramatically in the future.

Yes, repaint.com is made in Repaint.
What do you mean drawn live? The content is animated, but is still present in the DOM for indexing purposes.

We actually looked into Tldraw. I read a lot of the source code and their editor is impressive. We ran into performance problems at around 1000 nodes when panning and zooming. After seeing that, we decided to make the jump to WebGL.

What makes you want to host the website outside of Repaint? Is it related to website performance? We want to do things like optimize website speed and use CDNs to cache images. Is there something specific you need a hosting platform to have?

That's the default speed that Loom plays, unfortunately we can't update it.
