Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026) on Sunday July 12, 2026 @10:25PM (#48887114)

I’ve been working on Hype Doc. I built it for myself and hope others find it useful. I decided to build the mobile apps too and that process is way more work than I expected. It’s been fun though to dive into Rails 8 in the process.

It’s an app to track wins and celebrate yourself

Re:Use NextDNS everywhere you use Tailscale on Wednesday October 12, 2022 @10:18PM (#33186380)

I believe so. This is the issue that was tracking it - https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/2452

Re:Use NextDNS everywhere you use Tailscale on Wednesday October 12, 2022 @10:18PM (#33186375)

I've been using this setup for a few weeks now on the unstable client. Happy to see it stable now. The integration between the two services is really nice. Personally, have been a NextDNS user for a little over a year and now a fan of Tailscale. :)
