I knew before even clicking through that there would be a reference to yapcine.

I brought it into an aging ~12-year-old system to add a bit of SPA-like functionality to some pages. It works wonderfully with those classic MVC-style web sites.

I can highly recommend it for giving older, jQuery-era sites a new lease of life. I dropped in the CDN built into the view files, tweaked some of the controllers to return content outside of their usual template layouts based on a hx-request header, and I was away.

Didn't have to mess with bundlers and compilers. It was refreshing!

You might not need JS, but you will need a SCSS transpiler.
I've finally found someone else who's seen this behaviour!

I've noticed this too, and I found (in my case anyway) that Bing/Outlook seems to Rot13 the keys of the query parameters - is this what you're seeing too?

I also find the super slim scrollbar difficult to use.
This looks very similar to Xfer LFO Tool - how do they compare?

Hi HN, I'm the creator of this filter list.

If anyone can spare 5-10 minutes a week to help me and a couple of others maintain this list (testing and merging pull requests, closing issues, etc.), I'd be very appreciative!

You can contact me here or send an email to cookies[at]prebake[dot]eu

"2) Why does the background & image move around with the mouse? It doesn't have anything to do with the app."

That's what got me. To me it implies that when someone is within proximity of the phone, it will vibrate/notify the user; other than that, I have no idea.

The difference is these countries pride themselves on the freedoms their citizens possess, yet they go behind their backs and surveil everything and anything they can about them, usually using technologies and platforms their own citizens helped devise.

I was really frustrated when I clicked the link. It looked like something I might enjoy (it looks music related!)

Is it an ear-trainer? Synth? Song-learning tool?

Haven't seen the video yet (which I only found after I managed to hunt down a link to the homepage.)

It would be pretty unfeasible to attempt a brute-force, due to the number of encryption rounds.
