I've emailed him to follow up. Thanks for letting me know!

eliangcson A Git story: Not so fun this time

Author here. I don’t think ASCII is the right comparison. True, it would be really hard for anything to compete with Git because a lot of infrastructures we have are already deeply integrated with Git. But think about x86 vs. ARM and how AI might change our ways of producing code.

Author here. That's a good catch, thanks! I've replaced it with a newer screenshot from August 2008.

eliangcson Story: Redis and its creator antirez

@antirez I'm the author of the post. It's a privilege to see your comment here. Thank you so much for the comment, and of course, Redis!

Sorry about those errors. I've fixed them in the story.

A follow-up question about Twitter if you don't mind: did you actually fly to Twitter HQ in California and design the timeline cache with Rob Pointer, who was a Twitter employee at the time? How did that happen?

eliangcson The legacy of fy_iceworld, Counter-Strike’s divisive, popular custom map (2020)

I know the guy in person. I was going to send him the link and tell him "look, it's you!". But turns out he already knew and left that comment.

eliangcson Show HN: HTTP Prompt – An interactive HTTP command-line client

Would you rather do that because of the AGPL licensing? I ask because you don't have to donate or pay to use this tool unless you want to use the latest features earlier.

HTTP Prompt paid version isn't on GitHub either. It's hosted on a private server only available for paid users.

It's not new. One example I look up to is Sidekiq (http://sidekiq.org). It offers a paid subscription for its pro version.

Hi, author here. Thanks for the feedback! I'll fix that fork term mistake soon. That is a stupid mistake.

I just started this subscription recently as an experiment to see if I can make a sustainable open source project. I haven't made any money from it yet. And I haven't decided if and how we should give royalties with contributors. If I get lucky, the business model works, this topic is open for discussion among contributors.

eliangcson Interactive command line HTTP inspector written in Go

I made another tool similar to this, but instead of being based on curl, it's based on httpie: http://http-prompt.com

Author here. HTTP Prompt is a command line tool that boosts HTTPie with autocomplete and interactivity. Any feedback is appreciated!

eliangcson Paw – Advanced API tool for Mac

I'm the creator of HTTP Prompt (https://github.com/eliangcs/http-prompt). HTTP Prompt is HTTPie enhanced with autocomplete and syntax highlighting. This is the first time I hear about Paw, and I wonder how it compares to HTTP Prompt. Would any Paw users like to share?

eliangcson Show HN: HTTP Prompt – An HTTP CLI with autocomplete and syntax highlighting

Good question. But as for now, you have to parse the HTML to get form hidden fields and then send it manually. I don't know if HTTPie supports that. If HTTPie or any of its plugins supports it, I'll consider adding this feature.

HTTPie supports "field:=json" syntax. HTTP Prompt doesn't support it now, but it's on my roadmap.

I'm the author of HTTP Prompt. Any questions or feedback will be appreciated. :)
