Smaller models really arent great at structured output. If this works it would be great for a local model that might not be as good but as long as it respects structured output will be vastly more useful.
Re:Minimum Viable Blog on Saturday May 03, 2025 @01:17PM (#43880547)
Made this silly thing to have a site with just html and have a way to have templates & header includes, while still having the site accesible without JS if needed

https://github.com/sareiodata/hx-weaver

That being said, I don't find myself actually writing a blog :)

I built https://markdownbin.com/ because a friend was complaining something like this doesn't exist.

Nobody uses it and probably that's why it doesn't exist.

For our support team of 5 we just started using a custom text expansion tool I built in Electron. The snippets (canned messages) are stored in a WordPress site (we already have the main website / docs in wp so it was a good fit) and we all contribute to them.

https://github.com/sareiodata/kbexpander https://github.com/sareiodata/kbexpander-snippets

The tool is mapped to a keyboard shortcut (the OS manages this) and searches the snippet title and content. So you can easily filter down stuff.

The WP plugin also has reports, like most used snippets (every-time you paste a snippet, we track that) per user / date / category. This way we'll try to see in the future if we can improve a particular part of our product, improve inline docs so we stop getting those questions. I'm not sure if this will amount to anything, but it's something we're experimenting with.

Other tools exist, but I didn't find anything with good enough search + a way to have a common repo for snippets + usage reports, thus the Electron monstrosity and WP companion plugin.

This is how it looks: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EG_Ejy9X0AAnnMV?format=jpg

Re:My blog can’t keep up: 500 errors all over on Thursday January 31, 2019 @02:46AM (#19043172)
WordPress might be slow, but it's probably just the host or not enough PHP memory assigned to it. There is nowhere near enough traffic to bring down a WP site, unless you have a ton of bots pinging your site that never appear in your actual google analytics (because they are boths) .

* look at an actual server access log. cPanel offers one if your host is offering cPanel. * try and increase your WordPress memory limit: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpre... * check your server's PHP error log and see if there is an error * set WP_DEBUG to true in wp_config.php

Re:Show HN: Markdownbin.com Write markdown and get a link on Saturday November 17, 2018 @02:46AM (#18474497)
You write markdown and get a rendered url.

Wanted to do a project with minimal features but still something that can be used, that takes me through php development (composer, Slim Framework), server setup (DO) and deployment (using a pre-receive git hook). Markdownbin is the result.

Re:Show HN: I Write In-Depth Wordpress Plugin Reviews on Wednesday April 18, 2018 @08:11AM (#16866664)
Plugin developer here. Just had a look at some of the review... they are in no way in-depth.

I would call them plugin descriptions at best, but not reviews. Each of the bigger plugins like Gravity Forms or Advanced Custom Fields has so much functionality under the hood that I feel you're not even touching the surface.

Again, good and possibly useful description of each plugin, but they are not in-depth reviews.

A WordPress curated newsletter you can find at http://wpmail.me

It's sent once a week and you should find at least one or two good articles that are worth reading.

Then there is https://www.brainpickings.org where the author reads a bunch of books and sends out a newsletter with a resume of each book. I personally don't think there's anything like this out there!

Browse around http://www.how-to-hide-ip.info/ Might find something that fits your needs, as @rdl mentioned, there's no right answer.

Good luck with that! Really hope you reach your goal :)
Re:What do you think about my idea? on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @03:20AM (#5516858)
You just described "Sponsored Stories" from Facebook, just that you make it harder to target your audience. Why pay a Page Owner when I can pay Facebook and get access to exact users with my story. Also take into account, that if you have a ton of Page Likes, when you publish a story, it will only appear on a small number of users walls...

Also why in your right mind would want to build your business on someone's else platform when their exact business model is the same as yours... advertisement.

Isn't there a complete database with the information in Wikipedia available?

Ask HN - open source website builder created in javascript?

Is there a simple open source javascript website builder that I can use in other projects? jQuery UI is a really good starting point, but I wonder if there's anything that took it further. I'm looking for: - simple building blocks (text, headings, bold, italic and images) - grid based drag & drop - nice UI or themable - can read initial positions from a configuration file (so I don't have...

Thanks! This is a really good idea and shouldn't be to hard to implement. We'll look into it to see what it takes.
