Lol, they bought Tailwind CSS, freaked out, and decided not to touch it at all.

GitHub is going the wrong way, but there really is nothing workable for open-source projects except GitHub. I don’t want to register on all these random GitHub killers just to open an issue or PR in a random project I’ve interacted with.
For personal or team setups, any third-party service will work well.

Actually, my problem is not really with NPM itself or the fact that it can be hacked, but with the damn auto-update policy of software – as users we usually have no idea which versions are installed, and there is even no way to roll back to a safe version.
All these Chrome, VSCode, Discord, Electron-apps, browser extensions, etc – they all update ± every week, and I can't even tell what features are being added. For comparison, Sublime updates once a YEAR and I'm totally fine with that.

Totally agree. Who can send this article to Google?

Honestly, I don't even know what you're talking about – I don't have anything like that. Maybe it can be changed in the settings?
Re:Rust Dependencies Scare Me
on Friday May 09, 2025 @09:00PM (#43942408)
I agree that there are too many dependencies in Rust. I support the idea of adding some of the more popular crates to std. Many applications use something like tracing, tracing-subscriber, and basic server/client functionality. It would be great to have simple, minimal-feature implementations of these in std — similar to how Go does it. If someone needs a more complex system, they can still use an external crate, but having basic building blocks in std would really help.

You can read any public Telegram feed in your web browser at the URL: t.me/s/CHANNEL_NAME. So far it doesn't look like a problem with scrappe telegram feeds now. Unlike Reddit / X.

Hi. The project looks promising. Haven't tested it yet, but I want to try it together with Playwright to speed up tests in CI and some scrapping tools. I will keep an eye on the project. Best of luck to you!

Re:Rewriting my website in plain HTML and CSS
on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @09:26AM (#42711102)
Hi. The blog looks good. A few things to make it better:
1) You can use watchexec https://watchexec.github.io/ to live reload during development. 2) Also, please add a clickable image preview (you can use this lib for example https://github.com/francoischalifour/medium-zoom) 3) No commenting feature, luckily I found your post here on HN. But it would be better to have comment blocks, like from https://giscus.app/ or just a link where readers can comment. 4) No RSS feed. I'd like to subscribe to your updates, but there is no such option right now. RSS is one of the points why site generators are used for static blogs (e.g. Hugo, Zola, Astro, etc.)
Re:Ask HN: Is maintaining a personal blog still worth it in 2025?

I just blog as personal tech notes to remember how to do something, or to share with coworkers. And I do reposts manually on Medium / Dev.to / X to attract more viewers. Medium actually pretty good with that.

Hi. I've been working on this open-source projects last time:
ghstats[1] - self-hosted service to track & keep GitHub repos views (Rust)
macmon[2] - Apple M-series performance monitor in CLI with power metrics (Rust)
ecloop[3] - let say fast Bitcoin addresses checker by bloom filter (a lot of interesting math inside) (pure C)

Hi HN! I'm excited to introduce ghstats – a self-hosted dashboard for Github traffic history longer than 14 days.Github has a great traffic feature that allows you to see why a repo went viral (or just where people are finding it), but this data is only stored for the last 14 days. I wanted to keep this data for a longer period and have the ability to view it all in one place.This service is...

Hi. Would be happy to announce macmon, a sudoless tool for monitoring the performance of Apple Silicon processors. The program uses a private Apple API to get current metrics (just like the build-in powermetrics tool does) but does not require root privileges.Useful to use together with local LLM models to see what is currently loaded (CPU / GPU / NPU aka ANE). Or in any other tasks where is...

Show HN: Modern meetings scheduling tool in different time zones
Hi, HN!I use the World Time Buddy app a lot in my work. While it's a great tool, it's showing its age – the annoying page reloading when changing the date and the lack of a dark theme are inconvenient in the evening.Hence, I've developed a modern alternative that addresses these issues. I trust it will prove beneficial to others as well. Any feedback or suggestions for enhancing the product are...
