I don't like it when AI installs crap on my machine - so built a tool to avoid it completely
pmestha··on Show HN: How to create a perfect white background image effortlessly?
Do you use the uploaded images for fine tuning your models?
pmestha··on Show HN: OpenSnowcat – A fork of Snowplow to keep open analytics alive
Bookmarked this. Previously used Mautic, but this seems more interesting.
pmestha··on Captcha tests your ability to do nothing
Very cool. I do have a couple of questions tho: 1. You mention "Unaffected by AI intelligence" - how does that work? 2. How does it identify and block bots?

Hello all, I built a drag & drop tailwindcss website builder for makes and engineers.

In UiBun you can:

1. Drag & drop pre-made BunUI template blocks 2. Import your own HTML/tailwind code blocks (including TailwindUI and other UI kits) 3. Export production-ready HTML code (Download zip)

I hope y'all like it

Peace

Hi all,

I've been trying to find a free kanban board for personal use but couldn't find any that looked good. So decided to build one.

This stores all data in localstorage - so you can use this without any login/signup. Feel free to use it as you please.

Looks neat!!
pmestha··on Ask HN: What books do you recommend for marketing a SaaS?
thank you!
pmestha··on [dead]
Pre-selling SaaS is sometimes frowned upon by the consumers, but the adrenaline boost it gives to us makers is beyond anything else. I just made the first sale for my side project and I am overwhelmed with happyness. Hence wrote a blog post in an attempt to motivate more makers from pre-selling their upcoming products.
pmestha··on Show HN: I am building a Figma alternative
Currently React and HTML. You will also be able to choose between Chakra UI, tailwindcss and more
pmestha··on Show HN: I am building a Figma alternative
On the contrary, I would like to position it as an app that helps developers to focus on business logic rather than rebuilding interfaces :)
pmestha··on Show HN: I am building a Figma alternative
I noticed that designers spend almost the same time and efforts developers put to design a webpage. And, developers pretty much rebuild the same design which was created by designers in figma.

I wanted to eradicate this redundancy hence started working on a visual editor that exports code.

Hello all, I built a service called as PrivJs Safe to protect from vulnerable and malicious npm packages. I built it mainly for myself and ended up creating a service out of it. What do you think?

Was playing around with gradients and ended up making a color wheel during christmas. Do you like it?
pmestha··on ESLint plugin to detect vulnerable imports
Yes. I have tried this in multiple production apps (including legacy monoliths). As a result, the team was able to identify and fix about 1000 vulnerabilities in the projects.
pmestha··on ESLint plugin to detect vulnerable imports
$npm audit usually warns the developers at install time and is often ignored. Having an ESLint plugin gives active warnings related to the issues and also blocks pipelines wherever necessary.

More than blocking pipelines, This plugin doesn't throw errors for an entire package if only certain methods are vulnerable. For example, in `lodash` only 3 methods are vulnerable. So, it would be wrong to flag the entire package as vulnerable, instead only throw errors if the vulnerable methods are imported/used.

That's why my ESLint plugin comes into picture and feels much better than many other tools available

pmestha··on ESLint plugin to detect vulnerable imports
I created an ESLint plugin to warn developers when they import vulnerable dependencies in a project. It is smart enough to detect vulnerable methods rather than flagging entire import. For example, if only a few methods in a library are vulnerable, the ESLint plugin only throws an error if these methods are imported. What do you think about this?
pmestha··on Ask HN: Is it a good practice to provide open-source version of your paid app?
In my opinion there is a limit to what codes should be provided for free. Because we cannot build a business around all open source software.

For example, fullpage.js - the only way the developer could make money is by selling code. Same applies to several javascript libraries.

pmestha··on Show HN: PrivJs - Sell nodejs libraries/frameworks as npm package
I have not tried this out yet. So, this is a MVP that I built. Will definitely include other language libraries too soon enough :)
pmestha··on Show HN: Pixel – Open-Source UI Kit (MIT License)
The UI looks neat. But, how do you distribute the pro version?
pmestha··on Show HN: Lottie Interactivity Library for Websites
this is very nice and handy. Definitely worth giving it a try for high-budget landing pages..
pmestha··on Ask HN: Hosting my startup on Individual Droplets
also, if you are using digitalocean, leverage private networking for faster inter-sever communication
pmestha··on Ask HN: Hosting my startup on Individual Droplets
yeah, I haven't used redis before, but hosted db, backend & frontend on individual servers. Using individual servers makes maintaining the servers easier and also adds up to additional performance
pmestha··on Show HN: UserLeague
It would be more interesting if you posted a few interviews.
pmestha··on Show HN: Extension stats – extension count watcher for VSCode, Sublime, and Atom
Seems cool. Why don't you watch languages & celebrities? Might catch audiences.
