Hey HN,I’m doing some market research on the logistics and viability of hosting corporate tech offsites in Buenos Aires, Argentina.With the shift to remote/distributed work, annual or bi-annual company retreats have become the main way teams build rapport. We see a lot of teams going to Mexico City, Lisbon, or Costa Rica, but I'm looking closely at Buenos Aires (as I live there).Timezone:...

Built this because I kept getting lost trying to understand how codebases evolved. git-walkthrough lets you navigate through commits with arrow keys and view diffs between them as uncommitted changes in VS Code.Just run npx git-walkthrough in any repo and step through the commit history. Press 'd' to toggle diff mode, and it shows you what changed between commits right in your editor.Handy...
I didn’t want to:
run a headless CMS (Strapi, Contentful, etc.)
build and maintain a full blog UI in Next.js
deal with SEO tradeoffs from putting content on a separate subdomain
So I went with a slightly unfashionable but practical solution: WordPress.
The goal was simple:
Main app at yoursite.ai (Next.js)

No SEO penalty from split domains

So I like to go to the very first commit and step forward.

Hey HN,I’ve been curious about how different VCs stack up in terms of the number of investments they’ve made versus the number of exits (acquisitions, IPOs, etc.) they’ve seen. To satisfy that curiosity—and hopefully share something useful—I created a simple chart that compares VCs’ total investments against their exits.Why I built this:I was looking for a quick visual snapshot of which firms...

Hey Everybody! Hope you had a merry christmasToday I had a bit of fun with Claude.Started by scraping YC's startups list, then ran them through OpenAI's embedding service, then UMAP'd the embedding to reduce the dimension to just two coordinates and then just forced Claude to write React that would compile to visualize that.I had fun and I think it's interesting, so take a look!Also note that...
