robinroy03··on ERPNext's Document Follow feature exposed unauthorized data
This is a security write-up about a chain of vulnerabilities I discovered in the Frappe framework (the framework ERPNext is built on).
robinroy03··on Show HN: I just fixed .env once and for all – better-env
I was searching for something like this. So will other developers of the repo also need the tool?
robinroy03··on Show HN: better-env – A Secure, Developer-Friendly Alternative to .env
Looks promising

I think you misunderstood me :)

There is a finite set of features you need to add to make this an "excellent" video editor. It will take time & most people who'll eventually use this project may not use them at all.

The best way to guarantee ROI is to do things that users need immediately, like captions. Salesforce isn't in the finite set of things a video editor needs, so that request will be rejected.

...what did i read...

yeah sure, we'll add it to the roadmap. But do you think "speaking"/"typing" the basic instructions is better than actually doing it through the UI?

I feel like for basic interactions like dragging etc, it is better if the user does it by hand. AI can handle complicated workflows like removing silences, quickly removing unwanted background elements etc

oh we already did try that :) see this demo video I posted to X (https://x.com/_RobinRoy/status/1938676070452207786)

*this is text based but I hope you get the point

robinroy03··on Show HN: Kimu – Open-Source Video Editor
yeah ty for the suggestion. I'll add some sample media.

Hi, we are adding the top features our users are requesting. The roadmap is built for the needs of the community. We'll eventually add all the features to match a video editor once the core needs are met.

Most of the community wants auto captions and color grading, so that goes first.

Opencut cannot even export a video. It's very hyped up but it's barely functional.
robinroy03··on Show HN: Kimu – Open-Source Video Editor
sure :)

try with larger clips and let me know in discord / github discussions

Capcut TOS change is very unfortunate. They now claim broad licenses over user content. (https://www.isabokelaw.com/blog/capcuts-new-terms-of-service...)

Also, what makes you think it is vibe coded? Is the app not functioning as you expected? Let me know and I'll fix them asap.

kimu offers a better user experience and is more intuitive. Also, we match the features with omni.

Our roadmap included automated captions, color grading and the like. We'll be a capcut alternative on the web.

yeah. im working on a PR for it rn. If you like our work, join discord :)

our goal is to make a solid web video editor first and foremost. Then we'll try to make it super accessible.

I'm thinking of including AI features like captions, auto color grading etc. I get your point of forcing AI, we won't do that.

No AI for AI, but AI for making it more accessible and helping novice users to also make cinematic videos.
