azan-non Show HN: Analyze JUnit test files in the browser

I have looked at lots of testing platforms and they don't do much. This is my first iteration of a tool that runs in the browser and uses DuckDB WASM to analyze multiple JUnit files. I have been testing with files from kubernetes and it seems to work fine with ~160k rows.

Ideally, I'd want this to point to a link in the query params from where it could fetch the latest JUnit files and show a dashboard. I'd then want to put it up in my office. Should be fun.

I would love to hear feedback and thoughts!

azan-non Halfsies – Split bills with complete privacy. Everything stored in the URL

I built this expense splitter because installing an app for this always seems unnecessary for the one-off times I have expenses to split with a group.

azan-non Xunit.v3, Testcontainers, and .NET

xunit.v3 added a bunch of new additions that made my testing pipeline cleaner compared to what I had with xUnit's older versions.

azan-non Fast websites using Astro and React

I totally agree. I'd love to have a look at the CMS if it is open-source or even hosted somewhere.

Thanks for reading!

azan-non Fast websites using Astro and React

The goal of this project was to 1. re-use React components 2. be fast (lighthouse scores mostly) 3. be SEO-friendly

I like Astro, I like JSX, but I don't know if I can live with React in Astro, at least not with the current state of the integration.

azan-non Prometheus Toolkit (Another One)

I made this redesign for an assignment for a frontend dev gig I was interviewing for. It was a fun little exercise, might write a case study about it later.

Personally, I like the original (https://samber.github.io/awesome-prometheus-alerts/) better. Huge static page, no JS to search (just use your browser search), rather no JS at all. The original is a mess to build and maintain because it does yaml -> json -> yaml -> jekyll -> html, which looks a little rough to me.

azan-non Show HN: Fix – An open source cloud asset inventory for cloud security engineers

> It's also important to note that while FIX frontend is open source, it utilizes commercial Material UI components. As such, to use it, you'd need your own Material UI license.

That is an odd choice for an open-source project. I'm curious to know what Material UI provided that any other open-source UI library did not.

azan-non [dead]

I've yet to use CMSs and I hear that content and publishing is what they excel at. I have been using Astro for a while and have found it to be a great way to build websites, at least at the small scale that I am working with.

This post marks a stepping stone to my journey toward more streamlined publishing using Notion and Astro.

Pirsch was also recommended by others and looks like a product I'll be considering for projects with the resources to use a non-free tool. For my website, however, I think it might not be worth the spend for me.

Thanks for reading the post, cheers.

Of all the things that I have, time and resources surely are scarce. Thanks for taking the time to read, cheers.

azan-non Using analytics on my website

The most important metric I want to track at the moment is the number of people who come to my website using the link on my resume. It helps me understand how many of my applications might have been met with interest (which so far has been 1, unfortunately).

With everything else, I agree. I write as a means of documenting my findings and sharing it with others and surely the discussion section here on HN is where it becomes useful to me where I can engage in constructive conversation and learn new things.

Thanks for reading the article, cheers.

I agree. With PostHog, I know that my ad-blocker will blocks the URL rendering the service useless, but I set up a reverse proxy using Cloudflare Workers to prevent ad-blockers from blocking it.

Correct. Thanks for pointing that out, I might not have mentioned it correctly in my post.

azan-non Using analytics on my website

Hello there. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I figured I could use PostHog on a server as well but if I was doing that anyway, I'd probably use something better suited for the use-case instead of PostHog. I did notice the Web Analytics feature and turned the toggle on for my workplace but I haven't gotten around to using it and haven't heard about it from my team either. Will get back to you if I have anything to share. Cheers.

Hah sad. The first time I clicked I thought this might be the new way Reddit is getting people back on the platform.

azan-non Generating MDX from string templates is a bad idea

Thanks for reading. I should probably have added that I did this exploration a few months ago and from the updates that I've read from Mintlify, I think they support most if not all of our use cases now, including automated doc generation from OpenAPI specs

azan-non Generating MDX from string templates is a bad idea

Hello there,

I've had long conversations about our requirements at Cryptlex with Kate from your team but it has been a while since and I am aware that you have improved OpenAPI spec support greatly.

From whatever updates I have followed, I think Mintlify completely supports our use cases now but I'm not too sure if the packaging of the plans is well-suited for us.

I'll drop Kate another message after an internal discussion and we'll look into Mintlify again. Thanks for reading my naive exploration.

azan-non Generating MDX from string templates is a bad idea

Just an exploration I did a while back.

In retrospect, I also realize that the idea of generating MDX, which is essentially a React component in this context, using templating libraries that I was used to like Handlebars, is possibly the most terrible idea I could come up with to solve this. Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts.

azan-non Color for the color-challenged

Thank you for sharing. I've published a small case-study[0] working with OKLCH with Angular Material which is a large UI library for the Angular framework.

Edit: What I find particulary difficult with OKLCH is sharing it across projects (think Android, iOS, and Web). I have tried figuring out solutions in Style Dictionary where I could generate colors and manually convert them to Hex or HSL for other platforms but the solution needs a fair amount of complexity that I am not willing to work with.
