monadoid··on I charged $18k for a Static HTML Page (2019)
hello fellow yukoner, that is insane
monadoid··on Show HN: VoxConvo – "X but it's only voice messages"
Cool idea! You should make it so that I can only play one audio message at once (currently if I click to start two, they both play simultaneously)
monadoid··on Why rust-docs-MCP is the only MCP tool I like
Not the creator, just wanted to put this out as a PSA: the rust docs MCP tool is actually great, thanks to docs.rs having rustdoc JSON output I believe. Since the source docs are fully structured JSON, my LLM can cache docs locally and then fly through them. I hope more MCP tools can become like this!

monadoid··on Show HN: Cap'n-rs – Rust implementation of Cloudflare's Cap'n Web protocol
Yeah fair enough, I guess the core of it might just be the similar names!
monadoid··on Show HN: Cap'n-rs – Rust implementation of Cloudflare's Cap'n Web protocol
Despite everyone hating on the AI slop (I myself hate AI slop), I am excited about cap'n web and am jonesing to try it out in rust so I will take a look!

I'd love to see (might try to add on) an optional type layer: define contracts as json schema or JTD or something? Does something like this already exist - maybe you could use protobufs ontop of this? Would be nice to make it so that you didn't need to share types between client / server out of band, something like an openapi spec allows all clients (not just those you are in control of) to have types!

monadoid··on Show HN: Cap'n-rs – Rust implementation of Cloudflare's Cap'n Web protocol
This is someone's rust port of the new "cap'n web" protocol Kenton just released, which he's calling a spiritual sibling to cap'n proto (which he also built). This might be AI slop but this info is all in the OP, come on man!
monadoid··on Nepal picks a new prime minister on a discord server days after social media ban
Yeah my thoughts went to DAOs! I'm so excited for a future where we can use DAOs to harness the power of the people :)
monadoid··on TikTok has turned culture into a feedback loop of impulse and machine learning
I think HN is getting old - nobody has mentioned second screen viewing! imo, youtube videos are getting longer because everyone is just turning stuff on in the background while they're on their phones.
monadoid··on OrioleDB Patent: now freely available to the Postgres community
Love you supabase
monadoid··on Litestar is worth a look
This is well written, thanks!
monadoid··on URL-Driven State in HTMX
Agreed I love this pattern! I'm a big fan of using nuqs for this in nextjs, but really stoked to try out rust / loco / htmx for my next project.
monadoid··on Building MCP servers for ChatGPT and API integrations
Yeah I hope they open up support to all MCP tools - this is lame as-is.
monadoid··on Open-source framework for real-time AI voice
Why would I use this vs @openai/openai-agents-python (or openai-agents-ts) - the new realtime agents SDKs?

There are so many AI frameworks out there that live & die so quickly that I am generally hard pressed to use any of these unless there is some killer feature I absolutely need.

monadoid··on Biomni: A General-Purpose Biomedical AI Agent
that's definitely a big question but I don't think it's the big question. this is 100% progress and it's standalone cool
monadoid··on Build and Host AI-Powered Apps with Claude – No Deployment Needed
Yes I agree strongly, if I could just make a small percentage for my mildly interesting LLM wrapper it would be perfect! @anthropic please implement this
monadoid··on Student discovers fungus predicted by Albert Hoffman
hey thank you for posting this. I'm sorry to hear about your condition but happy LSD was able to help a bit.

One unsolicited idea from a stranger: consider trying it again! I was in a similar situation for a long time (found it helpful but no strong desire to try it again), but multiple trips over time ended up being very helpful - for me at least.

monadoid··on Error Monads the Hard Way
Cool! I'm curious if any rust wizards would have recommendations for best practice in rust, and if they would differ to design 2 or design 3 from this article?
monadoid··on Ask HN: Would you still choose Ruby on Rails for a startup in 2025?
Loco is awesome! Hoping that the openAPI generation comes soon - then I can generate zod schemas from the openAPI doc! It would be really cool to use something like hygen/plop or maybe tera (idk) to automatically generate svelte or react CRUD pages, similar to what loco is already doing for htmx.
