Show HN: Redirect clicks using a formula
2 by matt413 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Part of my day job requires me to review a report monthly. The URL for July's report looks something like this: fancyreport.com?from=2022-07-01&to=2022-07-31 Typing this URL manually every month was just enough pain for me to put up a simple script on somedomainiown.com/magic that redirected me to the report for the current month by automatically filling in the "from" and "to" values in the URL. This way, I could bookmark one link and always open the latest report with one click. At some point, I figured I should put this behind a UI so that I could share it with my colleagues and maybe HN too. A couple of weeks of hacking, and here we are with an MVP the little imposter inside me finally accepted to post online. P.S. the "formule" implementation gets the job done for me, but is pretty rudimentary. Would love to know if you have a specific use case that'd benefit from other parameters or a more advanced formula system.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Sora, Personal Publishing Platform

Show HN: Sora, Personal Publishing Platform 10 by chrispuska | 3 comments on Hacker News. We wanted to create, to express ourselves without being judged either by strangers or some algorithm. We wanted our own space on the internet, where our photos and words would matter. So we started to build an app that can showcase our content, without having to pick a platform. You can use Sora to publish a few different content types. - Blog - Polaroid - Poster - Microblog You can either display them all on your Sora profile as a summary (like mine https://ift.tt/x8oP2en ), or put any of them forward for the world to see. We plan to run this app for a long time and looking for feedback, so let us know what you think! (feedback@sora.city, or link on website) --- Our stack today is Node, Typescript, NextJS, atomic CSS, with everything stored on Supabase.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: KrotoDC – gRPC in Kotlin with Dataclasses

Show HN: KrotoDC – gRPC in Kotlin with Dataclasses 2 by mscheong | 0 comments on Hacker News. - A protoc plugin data class generator that can be used as a substitute for existing Java protobuf classes that need to be constructed by a builder (which isn't very kotlin-ish). - generates coroutine service base and stubs that use the generated classes as request/response types, allowing you to completely avoid using Java classes. - Since it also generates converter extension functions between the generated types and Java types, you can still easily use protobuf-specific features such as serialization. - Additionally provides Kotlin-specific features (optional fields as nullable, oneof fields as sealed classes).
