Show HN: Dogma: a metalanguage for describing data formats in documentation
2 by kstenerud | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Dogma: A human-friendly metalanguage for describing data formats (text or binary) in documentation. Dogma was born out of frustration trying to describe data formats (in particular, binary) using existing BNF and other metalanguages. What I wanted was something that makes it clear to a HUMAN reader how a data format is structured and interpreted. After lots of input from friends and colleagues (as well as testing it out writing numerous examples of existing formats https://ift.tt/6tainKp ), I feel that it's almost ready for a 1.0 release, but I'd like to get some last minute critiques just to make sure :) It's not going to solve 100% of use cases, but if it can solve 80-90%, it has met its goal. Please have a look and let me know what you think! https://ift.tt/c4OY0SP...

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).
