Show HN: Ledge – A Markdown notebook that runs the code in your notes
Ledge is for those of us who spend much of our day copying commands from our notes into the terminal.It's still in early beta, but I've been using it for the last few weeks to run smoke tests, manage deploys, monitor systems, etc. and it's been very useful for me. I hope others find it useful as well.There are many ways you can set up Ledge: I keep my production notes local, and use Ledge server to manage my dev environments on a per-project basis. I can then access Ledge on my ph
Show HN: BuildABrowser (Java) – Passes Acid2, Has CSS Grid and an Android port

Show HN: HookDeploy – Webhook infra with mTLS private delivery
Hi HN!I'm Michael and I built HookDeploy. HookDeploy is a webhook infrastructure tool that captures webhooks at the edge, allows for inspection, transformation and fanout to multiple destinations including to your own private infrastructure with our first-party (source-available) mTLS agent. Runs as a service on Linux, lives in the tray on Windows and in the menu bar on Mac.As I'm sure most of you you have felt webhooks kind of suck if things don't go exactly as planned. Dropped w
Ask HN: Will software still matter when AI write all our programs?
I’ve often reflected on how AI will change software development, and on what happens when reverse engineering — “everything is open source if you can reverse engineer it” — or clean-room reverse engineering, and porting a program from platform A to platform B, become essentially automatic processes.Personally, this is a capability that would impress me quite a bit. I’m curious to know: if you let something like Astra 6 or Fable run with $10 million worth of tokens, how close could we get to a su

Show HN: Parametric, low-poly assets for BIM/CAD
I've been learning and working in the 3D CAD/BIM space for almost 20 years and one thing that often comes up is the availability of simple assets that are efficiently modelled.One of the challenges I see a lot is an Architect will need to model a kitchen unit, so they go to BIM Object or another library and download a model. There are two problems this creates; firstly the 3D element itself contains an enormous number or polygons which can cause performance issues, and second the Archi
Show HN: Palette, a Figma plugin that turns one color into a whole UI system
I was inspired to build this because of AI slop design. That led me down the path of why computers didn't 'see' color the way that humans did - and the lack of a common language between perceptual, display, and print color spaces (there was no Unicode for color).That led me to inventing and patenting ART, a new color language, and Orchestra, the engine that runs it.Palette is the first product built on this tech, and it solves problems I faced as a designer for the last 30 years:-
Ask HN: Honey Pots in 'who wants to be hired'?
So I put my info into the hackernews 'who wants to be hired' this month, and I've had 5(?) fake recruiters reach out (all rando8374*@gmail.com). It would be awesome to recruit security researchers or law enforcement or whatever to snipe people like this.<p>I think even the _threat_ that the 'job applicant' is a cop seems like it would deter this behavior in a non negligible way. /shrug<p>Putting it out in the universe...
