Show HN: woomarks, transfer your Pocket links to this app or self-host it
Hacker News (score: 17)[Other] Show HN: woomarks, transfer your Pocket links to this app or self-host it Pocket is shutting down and I really, really liked it. So I built woomarks, an app that let's you save links with a similar UI. It's very minimal, but it's doing everything I liked from Pocket and you can bulk import your links and use the app or self-host.<p>- Public app that you can test: <a href="https://woomarks.com/" rel="nofollow">https://woomarks.com/</a><p>- My self-hosted version, where you can see my saves: <a href="https://roberto.fyi/bookmarks/" rel="nofollow">https://roberto.fyi/bookmarks/</a><p>- Repository if you want to self-host: <a href="https://github.com/earlyriser/woomarks" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/earlyriser/woomarks</a><p>Export links from Pocket here: <a href="https://getpocket.com/export" rel="nofollow">https://getpocket.com/export</a> the last day will be on October 20025.<p>Features: - Add/Delete links - Search - Tags - Bookmarklet (useful for a 2-click-save) - Data reads from: csv file in server (these links are public) local storage in browser (these links are visible just for the user) - Local storage saving. - Import to local storage from csv file - Export to csv from local storage. - Export to csv from csv file (useful when links are "deleted" using the app and just hidden using a local storage blacklist). - Export to csv from both places. - No external libraries. - Vanilla css code. - Vanilla js code.
[Other] Show HN: We built an open-source alternative to expensive pair programming apps My friend and I grew frustrated with the high cost of existing pair programming tools, and of course of grainy screens when we used Huddle or similar tools.<p>We believe core developer collaboration shouldn't be locked behind an expensive subscription.<p>So for the past year we spent our nights and weekend building Hopp, an open-source alternative.<p>We would love your feedback and we are here to answer any and all questions.

[CLI Tool] Show HN: My first Go project, a useless animated bunny sign for your terminal Hi HN, I wanted to share my very first (insignificant) project written in Go: a little CLI tool that displays messages with an animated bunny holding a sign.<p>I wanted to learn Go and needed a small, fun project to get my hands dirty with the language and the process of building and distributing a CLI. I've built a similar tool in JavaScript before so I thought porting it would be a great learning exercise.<p>This was a dive into Go's basics for me, from package structure and CLI flag parsing to building binaries for different platforms (never did that on my JS projects).<p>I'm starting to understand why Go is so praised: it's standard library is huge compared with other languages. One thing that really impressed me was the idea (at some point of this journey) to develop a functionality by myself (where in the javascript original project I choose to use an external library), here with the opportunities that std lib was giving me I thought "why don't try to create the function by miself?" and it worked! In the Js version I used the nodejs "log-update", here I write a dedicated pkg.<p>I know it's a bit silly, but I could see it being used to add some fun to build scripts or idk highlight important log messages, or just make a colleague smile. It's easy to install if you have Go set up:<p><pre><code> go install github.com/fsgreco/go-bunny-sign/cmd/bunnysign@latest </code></pre> Since I'm new to Go, I would genuinely appreciate any feedback on the code, project structure, or Go best practices. The README also lists my planned next steps, like adding tests and setting up CI better.<p>Thanks for taking a look!

Show HN: Q.js – Smaller than React/Vue, yet more powerful (40KB gzipped)
Show HN (score: 5)[Other] Show HN: Q.js – Smaller than React/Vue, yet more powerful (40KB gzipped) Q.js is a lightweight JS framework that I recently distilled from our in-house Qbix platform that I’ve been building since 2011. It powers many of our social apps, which have all the features of Facebook, LinkedIn, X, etc.<p>We’re not a big company like Google or Meta, so we never released it publicly. Now I’d like to, and thought it would be a good idea to post it on HN and gather some feedback.<p>Q.minimal.js was designed to be dropped into any website. It lazy-loads all your components only as they are needed and appear on the screen. The minimal file is meant as a starting point for developers, and if you later want more features from the Qbix platform, you can simply swap it out for the larger Q.js file instead.<p>Here are some advantages of Q.minimal.js compared to React, Angular, Vue, or whatever you might be using now:<p>40KB gzipped, smaller than React (without ReactDOM), smaller than Vue runtime, far smaller than Angular<p>No build step, just drop it in; works with plain .html <template> files or with JS/Handlebars templates<p>Components & tools, like React components or Vue directives, but attachable as behaviors to any DOM element<p>Faster rendering with requestAnimationFrame and .rendering(), no giant virtual DOM reconciliation<p>Built-in power: batching, caching, lazyloading, routing, slot-based page activation, all included in core<p>Universal dev model: designers can use pure HTML, developers can use JS, both work interchangeably<p>Incremental: drop it into an existing site without rewriting or compiling anything<p>If you have a free hour, give it a try! Play around with it, and let me know what you think. It's 100% free and open source under MIT license and I'm looking to polish up any rough edges before letting developers know about it.
Show HN: Captan – Open-Source Cap Table Management CLI
Show HN (score: 5)[CLI Tool] Show HN: Captan – Open-Source Cap Table Management CLI I built Captan (<a href="https://github.com/acossta/captan" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/acossta/captan</a>), a tiny open-source CLI tool for managing startup cap tables.<p>Instead of juggling spreadsheets or paying for expensive SaaS cap table solutions, Captan stores everything in a simple JSON file that you can version-control in Git.<p>It supports:<p>- Stakeholders (founders, employees, investors)<p>- Security classes (Common, Preferred, Option Pool)<p>- Share issuances<p>- Option grants with vesting schedules (monthly, cliff)<p>- SAFEs (record + simulate conversion at a priced round)<p>- Cap table math (Outstanding vs Fully Diluted)<p>- CSV/JSON exports<p>- Audit log ("the ship’s log")<p>Overall a JSON in git will offer better auditability and version control than most commercial solutions out there.<p>Modeling different scenarios is super easy, just create a git branch and model whatever you need.<p>Quick taste:<p>---------------------------------------<p>npm install -g captan<p>$captan init --name "Acme, Inc." --pool-pct 20<p>$captan enlist stakeholder --name "Alice Founder"<p>$captan issue --security sc_common --holder sh_alice --qty 5000000<p>$captan chart<p>Example output:<p>Captan — Cap Table (as of today)<p>Name Outstanding %<p>Alice Founder 5000000 100.00%<p>Totals<p>Issued equity: 5000000<p>Vested options: 0<p>Outstanding total: 5000000<p>Fully diluted total: 7000000<p>---------------------------------------<p>Why I built it: early-stage founders (myself included) often don’t need Carta or Pulley yet — just a clean, hackable way to track ownership. I wanted something transparent, developer-friendly, and Git-native.<p>Repo: <a href="https://github.com/acossta/captan" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/acossta/captan</a><p>npm: <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/captan" rel="nofollow">https://www.npmjs.com/package/captan</a><p>I’d love feedback on what features would make this more useful to you?<p>Thanks!

Show HN: Yet another daily word game – wotd
Show HN (score: 5)[Other] Show HN: Yet another daily word game – wotd Howdy HN. I wanted an excuse to do some lightweight JS/TS development and to get reacquainted with the Cloudflare stack, so I put together a daily word game. It's partially inspired by NYT's Spelling Bee and Wordle. The main goal is to find a specific word each day that uses each provided letter at least once. There's a secondary goal of finding as many words as possible. Right now progress is all stored on-device, but in the future I might add leaderboards or other competitive elements. Hope y'all enjoy!
Show HN: Give Claude Code control of your browser (open-source)
Show HN (score: 6)[CLI Tool] Show HN: Give Claude Code control of your browser (open-source) As I started to use Claude Code to do more random tasks I realized I could basically build any CLI tool and it would use it. So I built one that controls the browser and open-sourced it. It should work with Codex or any other CLI-based agent!<p>I have a long term idea where the models are all local and then the tool is privacy preserving because it's easy to remove PII from text, but I'd definitely not recommend using this for anything important just yet. You'll need a Gemini key until I (or someone else) figure out how to distill a local version out of that part of the pipeline.<p>Github link: <a href="https://github.com/moonshinelabs-ai/skipper-tool" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/moonshinelabs-ai/skipper-tool</a>
Show HN: I made a mini site to see timezone shifts
Show HN (score: 6)[Other] Show HN: I made a mini site to see timezone shifts Hey HN. I made a micro site one recent evening to see upcoming (and recent past) timezone transitions. At my job, we have some timezone specific code where we often see spikes in metrics due to random timezone shifts around the world. Just for fun, I wanted a way to easily see where and what this timezone shift might have been, so built this mini site to do so.<p>Its fully clientside and works by making use of the Internationalization API, so if you need an API for this you're coming to the wrong place, but feel free to yoink the code.<p>Its just one fat index.html file. Served off my VPS via caddy file server. No dependencies or build steps. See the code in the github link below.<p>All the CSS is "vibe coded", I think it looks pretty cool.<p>As an aside, I love that AI has made it so easy to spit out sites like this. My personal site is filled with subdomains like this one with little random tools which I occasionally use.<p><a href="https://github.com/rupert648/timezone-fuckery/blob/main/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rupert648/timezone-fuckery/blob/main/inde...</a>
Show HN: Sourcerer – MCP for semantic code search that reduces token waste
Show HN (score: 6)[Other] Show HN: Sourcerer – MCP for semantic code search that reduces token waste I built this because I got tired of watching Claude Code read through massive files just to find a few functions. Sourcerer lets AI agents search code semantically and grab exactly the code chunks they need instead of burning tokens on whole files.<p>It uses tree-sitter to parse your codebase and creates a searchable index. So instead of "read auth.py (538 lines)", an agent can search for "user authentication logic" and get back just the relevant functions.<p>Demo: <a href="https://asciinema.org/a/736638" rel="nofollow">https://asciinema.org/a/736638</a><p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/st3v3nmw/sourcerer-mcp" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/st3v3nmw/sourcerer-mcp</a>

Show HN: Datacmd – Terminal-native dashboards from CSV/API in one command
Show HN (score: 5)[CLI Tool] Show HN: Datacmd – Terminal-native dashboards from CSV/API in one command Hi HN,<p>I built Datacmd to eliminate bloated dashboards and browser UIs. It turns any CSV, JSON, API feed into live, terminal-native dashboards with one command. Fast. Minimal. Developer-centric. AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE <a href="https://github.com/VincenzoManto/datacmd" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/VincenzoManto/datacmd</a><p>What it does:<p>* Generates dynamic dashboards in the terminal: tables, gauges, pie charts, line charts, radars, text boxes * Layout auto-generated or configurable via YAML * Supports CSV, JSON, REST APIs, live system metrics (CPU, memory, disk)<p>Why this matters:<p>* No GUI. Instant visuals where developers live * Zero setup. Download binary or use "go run", and dashboards appear * Great for sysadmins, devs, ops, data hackers working in terminal-first workflows<p>What I learned building it: Automating a clean layout via algorithm beats manual dashboard design for fast insights. Generating widgets in terminal forces clarity - no fluff, just signal.<p>Looking for feedback on:<p>* Performance with massive datasets (>100k rows) * UX: readability, layout transitions, color themes * Widget ideas: real-time alerts, sparkline ring charts, CLI-friendly drill-downs<p>Live on GitHub. Let me know if you want a downloadable binary or CI build link. Open to contributions, bug reports, wild dashboard ideas.
