New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Best Tools for Monorepo?

Ask HN: Best Tools for Monorepo? 10 by bradhe | 9 comments I've got a monorepo I'm working in that has a Golang backend with a couple services and a Next.js front-end. Everything lives in a monorepo together. My tooling is super weak, though! For instance, for process management in development I'm using Goreman, which is a Foreman alternative in Goalng. Wondering what's the state of the art for managing the processes in local dev in monorepos in 2024? Or other tools for managing a monorepo I might be missing in general! on Hacker News.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I built an open-source tool to make on-call suck less

Show HN: I built an open-source tool to make on-call suck less 22 by aray07 | 4 comments Hey HN, I am building an open source platform to make on-call better and less stressful for engineers. We are building a tool that can silence alerts and help with debugging and root cause analysis. We also want to automate tedious parts of being on-call (running runbooks manually, answering questions on Slack, dealing with Pagerduty). Here is a quick video of how it works: https://youtu.be/m_K9Dq1kZDw I hated being on-call for a couple of reasons: * Alert volume: The number of alerts kept increasing over time. It was hard to maintain existing alerts. This would lead to a lot of noisy and unactionable alerts. I have lost count of the number of times I got woken up by alert that auto-resolved 5 minutes later. * Debugging: Debugging an alert or a customer support ticket would need me to gain context on a service that I might not have worked on before. These companies used many observability tools th...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Haystack – an IDE for exploring and editing code on an infinite canvas

Show HN: Haystack – an IDE for exploring and editing code on an infinite canvas 15 by akshaysg | 4 comments Hi HN, we’re building Haystack Editor ( https://haystackeditor.com/ ), a canvas-based IDE that automates the boring stuff (plumbing, refactoring, and finding code) so that you can focus on the exciting parts of software development! You can see a quick overview of Haystack at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2uZnR5D_cc ! Haystack was born out of our frustrations with working in large and mature codebases, specifically with navigating and editing functional flows (e.g. the code flow for adding an item to the Amazon shopping cart). Oftentimes dealing with such flows would involve navigating a maze of files and functions, and making any edits would involve a lengthy process of doing corresponding downstream/upstream plumbing. Haystack attempts to address this in the following ways: 1. It allows you to explore your codebase as a directed graph of functions, classes, etc on the canva...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: VisCircuit – A Note-Taking Website for Electronics and Circuits

Show HN: VisCircuit – A Note-Taking Website for Electronics and Circuits 11 by darrenyaoyaoyao | 0 comments Hi, everyone. I created a note-taking website for electronics and circuits where you can draw circuit diagrams and write text notes at the same time. I am a Digital IC designer, and I self-study different types of analog and digital circuits a lot. However, I found a problem. Circuits have many different architectures and are hard to memorize due to numerous experiential tips. I want to document what I learn in my note app, but I found there is no method for me to easily draw circuit and block diagrams alongside text notes. This issue has bothered me for a long time, from my master's school to my current working life. I decided to solve it, so I created a note-taking website specifically for electronics and circuits, called VisCircuit. With VisCircuit, you can easily draw circuit diagrams, block diagrams, and write text notes simultaneously. I have already used it for two we...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: I quit my job and made an automatic time tracker

Show HN: I quit my job and made an automatic time tracker 5 by rocksalad | 1 comments Hey Hacker News! This is my first post here. About 5 months ago, I left my job because I was completely burnt out. After taking some time off, I started freelancing. But I found tracking my time to be a real hassle as I kept forgetting to start or stop the timer and often had no idea what I’d worked on. So, I decided to build Taim as a side project, while also working now on some freelancing gigs. Taim is going to be automated time tracking tool for freelancers and teams. It’s designed to make tracking time effortless and accurate, so you can focus on your work and not worry about the clock. I’m excited to share this with you all and would love your feedback! Currently planning to launch it to the public in a few months. on Hacker News. Hey Hacker News! This is my first post here. About 5 months ago, I left my job because I was completely burnt out.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: A modern Jupyter client for macOS

Show HN: A modern Jupyter client for macOS 63 by jackhodkinson | 17 comments I love Jupyter – it's how I learned to code back when I was working as a scientist. But I was always frustrated that there wasn't a simple and elegant app that I could use with my Mac. I made do by wrapping JupyterLab in a chrome app, and then more recently switching to VS Code to make use of Copilot. I've always craved a more focused and lighter-weight experience when working in a notebook. That's why I created Satyrn. It starts up really fast (faster time-to-execution than VS Code or JupyterLab), you can launch notebooks right from the Finder, and the design is super minimalist. It's got an OpenAI integration (use your own API key) for multi-cell generation with your notebook as context (I'll add other LLMs soon). And many more useful features like a virtual environment management UI, Black code formatting, and easy image/table copy buttons. Full disclosure: it's built with Elect...
