Show HN: Hibiki HTML – New frontend framework – no scaffolding, no Webpack 58 by sawka | 31 comments Source https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki | Interactive Tutorial https://playground.hibikihtml.com/tutorial/ I love JavaScript, but for many projects -- especially internal tools and prototypes -- setting up a full frontend JavaScript stack (npm, webpack, babel, create-react-app, redux) and all of their configuration files, folders, and scaffolding is overkill. Hibiki HTML incrementally plugs into any backend, using any template language (even static HTML files) with a single script include. It includes a built-in frontend data model, Vue.js-like rendering, built-in AJAX integration, and a full component/library system. It is also fully scriptable from your backend AJAX handlers. Anything that Hibiki HTML can do on the frontend can be done with a remote handler by returning specially formatted JSON actions . This allows you to write frontend logic (that would normally be JavaScript cod...

Lately I have been so burnt out and most days dread waking up. My question is what are some other jobs that pay well (I am the provider of the family)? I have some saving and could take time off to see if that helps things out but currently I feel like a new career might be the real solution. on Hacker News.

Ask HN: Anyone making a living building desktop applications? 89 by jventura | 96 comments I did ask the same question in 2016 [1] and got some really interesting answers. I'm still chasing the dream of having a side-business and earning some side money, but with web apps it means mostly SaaS. Personally I hate rent-seeking behaviors (I'm not alone, it seems - "Tell HN: A Conversation Needs to Be Had over Subscription Software" [2]), so I'm trying to know what people are doing regarding desktop apps. Are people still building desktop apps? More specifically, can you make a living (or earn some side money) in 2022 by selling a desktop app? Please share it with us, or are we doomed to build web apps and SaaS for the foreseeable future?

Show HN: Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter 6 by rhl314 | 0 comments Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making. Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter, ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been ignored. This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so glad that I can finaly release this. A bit more about the software 1. Powered by golang you can run load tests for tens of thousands of connections per second on very average hardware. 2. Cross platform, run it on Windows or Mac or host it on your linux machines 3. Lets you load test databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongodb out of the box. 4. Will keep adding more load testing targets in the future (even the more esoteric ones) I hope to open source Loadjitsu soon and let users contribute new targets. Hope this m...

Ask HN: Does anyone know of the whereabouts of the source code of FlexOS/386? 53 by andrewstuart | 17 comments My goal is to get FlexOS open sourced. - Does anyone know of a copy of the source code? I contacted the designer and author of much of FlexOS and he does not know where the source code is.I think it would be fun to see if FlexOS/386 can be brought back to life. FlexOS was a powerful and innovative operating system from Digital Research, the early 1990's. Here is a Byte Magazine review of it from back then: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bootrino/vintage_software/master/1991_01_BYTE_FLEXOSS_MUSCLE.pdf Here's the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlexOS Maybe someone at WindRiver knows where the source code of FlexOS is?
