Re:Show HN: Post sharing without an account on Thursday June 27, 2024 @09:38PM (#40816975)
Hey there! I've been on the site since 2015 and use it every day. Admittedly, I have posted a number of Show HNs since then (8 or so from my count), but didn't consider this usage "primarily for promotion" but i'll keep it in mind, thanks!
Thank you! No real abuse mitigation yet. The file size limits is most likely the avenue I'll take though. I've only just released this today, so would like to get an idea of some usage patterns from users before I implement anything!
Hey folks! Just a small web app I put together that I figured I'd share. In case it goes down, here's the source[1] for those interested!

Re:Zig now has built-in HTTP server and client in std on Thursday May 18, 2023 @06:06PM (#35994802)
As someone who only has some minor experience with Go, can you maybe elaborate a bit on what you mean by the stdlib providing such interfaces? I don’t recall any such paradigm being called out when first learning the language and it sounds pretty interesting.
Thank you! I was actually considering implementing some browser plug-in as part of this first iteration but decided to focus on the CLI instead. Time willing I may work on that in the near-ish future.
Re:It's time to head back to RSS? on Saturday March 31, 2018 @12:56PM (#16724044)
I decided to build my own RSS reader a few months back after getting into the habit of consuming news via RSS, and not really being thrilled with any of the readers out there. The source is open and can be pulled/built locally from GitHub[0] or accessed at the public instance for free[1]. It also made it to the front page of HN through a Shown HN post a while back, so at least a few people here enjoyed it (:

Re:Show HN: Rufus – a free, open source RSS reader on Thursday January 11, 2018 @12:01PM (#16125445)
That was me trying to be clever choosing a quintessential dog name, as the application "fetches" the paper (rss feeds) for you :D . I was playing around with the name Rover and a few others for a while as well, but went with Rufus for the cheap .news TLD

Surprisingly, I somehow failed to notice this until yesterday. If it becomes an issue, I am not in any way attached to the name - i'd be happy to change it.
