ebfe1··on Minimal design for encrypted file sharing app
Hopefully this is useful for someone. I needed an encrypted filesharing, similar to firefox send (which is unfortunately taken down due to abuse) but when i looked into deploying it myself, it seems like a fair bit of work to get it up and running so i decided to build something with minimal backend code (1 python lamda + 1 api gateway + 1 s3 bucket), no random 3rd party JS library.. Some cool things i learnt from building this project is the fact that you can acquire a POST signed policy to directly send file to S3, you can also add tag for your s3 objects and using bucket lifecycle rule base on object prefix, i can automatically expire objects and reduce backend code for that.
ebfe1··on Launch HN: Stacker (YC S20) – Create Apps from Airtable or Google Sheets
Interestingly, I had the need to make a spreadsheet available as an API and ended up using very simple appscript to archive this a few days ago. I shared it in my blog here, perhaps it might be useful for someone here.

ebfe1··on TLDR pages: Simplified, community-driven man pages
I was inspired by cht.sh and wanted to have my own notes hosted without running a python server like cheat.sh so i ended up writing a silly static site generator using consolemd and ship it to surge.sh.Let me know what you think :)
