Re:Ghq: Remote repository management made easy on Sunday May 17, 2026 @12:18AM (#48166006)
This tool is very useful but i feel it's only popular in Japan. so sad this situation, i don't know how so many developers manage local repositories without ghq.
Re:Show HN: CSS Studio. Design by hand, code by agent on Thursday April 09, 2026 @01:38PM (#47706742)
I like this concept and it definitely fits current AI era. There’s still a lot of room for humans to clean up the kind of sloppy, AI-ish design that tools tend to spit out today. I’m sure that will keep improving, but for now you still need a human hand on it.

I get that this tool is aimed at designers, but depending on how the features evolve I think it could pull in a lot more indie devs and similar folks too.

I built an open-source Amazon Cognito emulator for local development.

In my work, I always had to connect to a dev Cognito instance on AWS for local development. Services like S3 have MinIO/RustFS, DynamoDB has dynamo-local but Cognito didn't have a good free local alternative. So I built one.

Re:How Costco Won in Japan on Wednesday April 08, 2026 @11:08PM (#47698866)
I’m Japanese and I’ve lived in a town with a Costco. The part-time pay being a bit higher is nice, but because Costco stores are usually out in the middle of nowhere, they’re not somewhere you casually commute to. So honestly, it doesn’t really feel like they’re raising local wages in any visible way.
Re:Show HN: I built a frontpage for personal blogs on Sunday April 05, 2026 @09:30AM (#47649258)
I like this kind of idea. Do you require RSS for the listed blogs? curious about the behind.

Great concept! Multi language support maybe good for spreading.
Re:Get free Claude max 20x for open-source maintainers on Friday February 27, 2026 @01:17PM (#47183633)
Anthropic’s models have almost certainly gorged on an enormous amount of OSS, and if they think they can settle that debt with only six months of perks for the maintainers who’ve kept that ecosystem alive, it comes across as pretty arrogant.

Show HN: Rt – An interactive CLI for task runners (Make, just, and others)

https://github.com/unvalley/rt

`rt` is a small CLI that lets us run tasks interactively, even when each project uses a different task runner (Makefile, Justfile, Taskfile, cargo-make, etc.).This saves us from remembering the right command every time. I don't like writing shell script anyway, and couldn’t really find an existing tool that does this.

Re:I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file on Tuesday August 12, 2025 @06:15AM (#44874428)
This app is similar in concept (but Markdown): https://github.com/unvalley/ephe
Re:Show HN: New Ensō – first public beta on Tuesday July 01, 2025 @11:44AM (#44435072)
Love your art. Great work!
Have fun
I wanted to create a catchy, attention-grabbing phrase:) This app is meant to feel like a single sheet of paper on our desk where we can write in Markdown.
Thank you! I like how it makes Zettelkasten-style organization easy. For this ephe.app though, I intentionally limited it to a single page as you know. A deliberate choice not to expand. I’m looking forward to yours!
Thank you! I’ll keep improving it.
I enjoy writing on paper too. I use the word “paper” when describing this app though honestly, I did hesitate. That said, for people like me, typing can actually be a way to clear noise. If we can combine the freedom of physical paper with the flexibility of software that’s the ideal I’m chasing.
Thank you! I checked you app Ensō, it's awesome. I really like this kind of app. Yeah I need to polish the "system" button. Currently, it should appear after writing texts within 1 sec. I’d love to chat and will reach out!
Interesting! Actually I use VSCode to be honest, but wanna try that out.
Thank you for your question. If Obsidian can do the same, that works. But I don’t think I need past tasks saved as documents. Personally, I don’t want to manage TODOs in my PKM. I prefer to keep app responsibilities separate. (For example, I don't like todo apps that integrate calendars)
Thanks! really, I'll check on Windows.
Thank you! Any feedback is welcome, have fun.
Thank you:)
Thank you! To be honest, I didn't know much about taskpaper but I have seen it. The concept is similar. If there are any good features, I'd like to refer to them.
Yeah, one of Ephe’s selling points is actually how few features it has. Finding that balance is fun, so I’ll keep exploring. Markdown really isn’t great for editing tables though, totally agree. Once I wrap up some work, I’ll take a closer look at outlining tools too. Thanks again!
Thank you, I was surprised at your quick ship:)
Great question. At a glance, it might look like Obsidian and logseq (PKM) — but Ephe is less features and simpler. No login. No install. No plugin system. No even multiple documents. We just open the page and write. It’s intentionally minimal — one page, focused on just today. That focus is what sets it apart.
I think the all days, you mean a list of past documents In Ephe, there’s only one page, so the only way to look back is through snapshots. That’s maybe part of the philosophy behind the app. Anyway, I’ll take another look at Logseq. Thank you
That works too, for sure. I’ve paid special attention to certain features like how task creation works in Markdown with Ephe. Would love for you to give it a try.
