Show HN: electron-expose – Make Electron IPC boring with TypeScript decorators

https://github.com/johnyrokita/electron-expose

I built electron-expose while working on an email client for myself and getting tired of writing the repetitive ipc bits, i tried a few libraries and nothing really clicked so i built my own.It generates the main/preload/types bridge from the functions you explicitly expose with TS decorators. The goal is to just make the repetitive bits easier without any additional schema validators etc, imo...

Thanks! Could you could check if the autocomplete for a new password works now?

I've also added a toggle on the settings page to disable the scrolling of the ribbon (with it disabled you can manually scroll it by clicking and holding on the ribbon)

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! I've personally always associated product people with people that create something, whatever that might be. But you're right most commonly it's used for product managers. In this case i just thought it would be the best fit.

That's a great point, I'll add a toggle for the scrolling text in the settings, should be live in a little bit.

As for registration - it should allow it, with it being a standard password field. I'll do some debugging!

I want to build a neutral space for people to share their craft, build friendships, and have a place to get feedback from like-minded people. I have no plans to monetize the platform, and if it continues growing after some time has passed i'm going to register a non-profit organization and transfer the rights to it (while still supporting it financially).

Hey HN! I've been building an open-source community platform over the past few days and would love for y'all to check it out. We are still very early, the platform has been open for 2 days and we're already on 38 people as i post this. This has been a fun challenge getting this built in a couple of days since the news broke of posts.cv shutting down.See you on Folks!~ Johny
