New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: What Are You Working On?

Show HN: What Are You Working On? 25 by egcodes | 4 comments Hey HN, I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News]( https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... ). Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with insights about what other hackers are up to. I wondered what it would be like if instead of just a headline, there was a whole website where hackers could post daily updates, and where we could follow the hackers we're interested in for their latest updates. And so, this web site was born. I hope it gets used frequently so we can all benefit from it together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Let me know what you think! on Hacker News. Hey HN, I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News]( https://ift.tt/QtmuKJZ... ). Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with i...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Composable (as in iGoogle, but modern) privacy-friendly new tab

Show HN: Composable (as in iGoogle, but modern) privacy-friendly new tab 10 by OlegWock | 2 comments I spent quite a lot of time working on this one over the last 1.5 years. It started as a small project for my personal use because I wanted to keep all my self-hosted services visible so I wouldn't forget they existed lol. Using a web page wasn't ideal because of the white flicker every time I opened a new tab, so I decided to make this into a browser extension. From that time on, it became a lot bigger and got some traction (which I'm very happy about). It's made with React, but I tried to squeeze maximum performance (limited by my skills and desire to keep it somewhat readable, though) out of it. UI/UX was a big priority for me in this project, so I also tried to streamline it as much as possible and make Anori a joy to use. If you decide to try it, let me know how good I did! Oh, and it's open source [1] and the process of adding new widgets is documented [2], so...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: A self-published art book about Google's first 25 years

Show HN: A self-published art book about Google's first 25 years 6 by johndamaia | 0 comments This took me 3 years to finish. (It is 100% self-published, not endorsed by Google.) So… I wrote a book. It’s a different book with a unique approach. It’s not a novel or a technical book. It’s a biography, a company’s biography. My hope is that it serves two purposes: to inspire founders and to captivate interior designers. It all started three years ago. My wife and I were discussing interior design for our living room and she brought up what beautiful coffee table books should we have. After looking at her favorites I realized there’s nothing like this for tech startups. Digital products are intangible, how cool would it be to make them tangible and a beautiful art/decor book for your home office or living room? This idea of consolidating my particular interests with my wife’s decorative goals got stuck in the back of my head for a while. I searched and searched. I could only find thes...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: DotLottie Player – A New Universal Lottie Player Built with Rust

Show HN: DotLottie Player – A New Universal Lottie Player Built with Rust 22 by jawishhameed | 6 comments Hi HN, For the past few months we’ve been building dotlottie-rs, a new Lottie and dotLottie player that aims to run everywhere with smooth, high frame rate rendering and guarantee visual and feature support consistency across a large number of platforms and device types. It is lightweight, has low resource requirements and is performant. It is MIT-licensed and is available at: https://github.com/LottieFiles/dotlottie-rs The player is written in Rust and uses a minimal number of external dependencies. We utilize uniffi-rs to generate FFI bindings for Kotlin, Swift, and WASM, which are then used in our platform native distributions for Android, iOS and Web while maintaining a consistent API and experience across them. We also provide distributions for React and Vue to make it easy to adopt in many existing web projects. The player is also ideal for use in backend systems and pipelin...
