jarekceborski··on Mitigate WebSockets DDoS Attacks with Cloudflare API
Hi! I'm sharing my learnings from mitigating attacks on Webhook.cool, a free online webhook tester that is #3 on Google for "webhook tester", which means lots of traffic and is open to use for everyone (no sign up needed).

Thanks! This is custom styling and I've used styled-components.

Only you can see your webhooks, unless you enable sharing from the menu. Also, each request can be deleted individually, using trash i con.

Thanks urda, good feedback! There are similar tools, but since it's free, I don't see them as "competition" but rather "more options".
jarekceborski··on Pocketbase: Open-source back end in one file
Simple is beautiful! I think it could be more than enough for 90% or more use cases, and without over-engineering.

Well deserved! And you are great inspiration for fellow solopreneurs and indie hackers! Keep shipping!
jarekceborski··on Do homepage video tutorials work for SaaS?
I think it highly depends on your product. Main question: is your product easy to understand by others? Before investing time in making this video I'd do a little bit of user research.

1. Ask people if they understand what the product does. You could show it to random people, friends, family.

2. Run a survey on the website - simple question with thumbs up / thumbs down asking "Would you know how to do X with our product"

3. Do a smoke test: add a link in the hero section "I'd like to watch tutorial" and then see how many people actually click on it. There could a message after clicking "We are working in the tutorial, please come back shortly" but you will know if the want it or not.

4. Additionally if you have high bounce rate and people spend very little time on the website, chances are they don't really understand it

Good luck!

jarekceborski··on Ask HN: Any bets on which programming languages that will help land a job?
If you want to with backend only or machine learning specifically then definitely python. For anything web-related (frontend and/or backed), go with JS/TS

Currently only http 1.1 and no compression. But these could be added in the future.

You need to manually trust on each device. There is a button for that in the app, that shows the Trust certificate dialog. For other devices it quit easy, e.g. you can AirDrop RootCA.pem into the iPhone or iPad.

It's perpetual license. So you can enter the license key on a new device and it will automatically deactivate previous device.
