Re:A better way to view diffs on Thursday August 20, 2026 @07:36AM (#49373226)
Github diffs are messy and fatigue the reviewer to figure out what actually changed. I've been using a similar algorithm at work to view more concise diffs to better understand complicated PRs.

I previously thought so too, but turns out you can use the graphQL endpoint with the Chrome cookies and it's virtually indistinguishable

I'd love to see it

all of it, and I think the answer is 1. feature creep 2. a lot of nice-to-haves. the TUI alone is responsible for a lot of bloat

agree, I was more focused on bloat than pure utility

Re:What If Your TV Keyboard Disabled Impossible Letters? on Friday March 27, 2026 @08:45PM (#47550329)
As I was trying to find something on Netflix, I had a thought that would make searching with a remote much easier- disabling the keys that are impossible. Built a quick demo and was pleasantly surprised with the results.

Show HN: API Key Speedrun- A parody where generating an API key is the challenge

https://gemini-speedrun.vercel.app/

I recently tried to set up an API key through a certain cloud portal and it took 30+ min. Frequently, I thought "there's no way the UX can be this bad". So I made a speedrunning challenge with a global leaderboard to see if you have what it takes.https://gemini-speedrun.vercel.app/

Great idea, I plan on building a more detailed view with this kind of info, without all the clutter.

I really like the HN/Twitter/Indie Hacker posts about solo founders building a boring, simple product. It inspires me to look for an unsexy problem and come up with a simple solution. I've seen some other similar sites but wanted to make my own because I don't like annoying popups and I just want to see a list. There are no ads, no "feed algorithms", no tracking, and no AI. Just a simple list (not even paginated!). Take a look around and I'd be appreciative of your feedback!

(most are solo-founder, minimal marketing, boring solution spaces, profitable. although some have grown significantly since their humble beginnings)
