chriswalzon Go 1.16 reduces significantly reduces sizes for built executables

I think it’s scrutinized more because the sizes can be on the larger side due to including the runtime and garbage collector

I'm not sure. I encourage you to try it out. If it ends up not working please file an issue and we'll get it sorted out.

Thanks! Right now it has no special configuration or setup as I want it to be as easy to install as possible (simply run a curl command or go command). Perhaps down the road it will – totally depends on what direction bit will go based on feedback from users :)

Git is an awesome tool – so awesome that it has a vast plethora of options and commands to do just about anything. Bit attempts to alleviate some of that pain.

chriswalzon Show HN: Bit – an experimental Git CLI with powerful suggestions written in Go

Hi,

Git is an awesome tool and there are many UI tools built on top of it. I've been experimenting with how to improve the User Experience of using the git CLI (based on my experience over years). Bit provides interactive suggestions, organizes branches by most recent, automatically fetches and fast-forwards (when possible) from origin and much more. Furthermore, its functionally can continue to be extended using Go instead of bash :).

For those of you who are interested. Please take a look at the README. Bit is very much plug & play so you should be able to simply run the installation command and be ready to go.

At GoSecret.io you can use our upload feature (similar to Firefox Send). We haven't open sourced our code but we definitely are considering it in wake of Firefox Send getting shutdown. Please ping me if you're interested

chriswalzon Show HN: Keep your communications secure while you're WFH

Can you provide an example of a service that implements link previews? Not sure exactly what you mean by that.

chriswalzon Show HN: Keep your communications secure while you're WFH

Hello HN, It's my pleasure to bring to you GoSecret, share ephemeral messages using links.

I started working on GoSecret with my brother about 2 years ago. Both of us have an interest and cyber security and software engineering. A common issue is needing to share important information over not so secure channels such as GMail or Slack.

I feel it's important to raise awareness about GoSecret now that many folks are working from home.

When using those channels, messages you send normally will be stored on their servers (and logs) indefinitely with no good way to delete them. That's where GoSecret comes in. You simply go to GoSecret.io -> type in a message -> click create secret -> copy the generated url -> send the link over Gmail, Slack etc. No sign up is necessary.

Once your recipient views the secret the message is permanently deleted from GoSecret's servers.

The only trace of a message will be url which will now link to nothing.
