Show HN: Regex101 - Interactive regular expression learning tool and builder
http://www.regex101.com/
Hello!

I have long been at work with my site which purpose is to provide a free of charge service where you can learn and create your regular expressions. I have pretty much just thought to myself "What would I like?" and then implemented that.

What do you guys think? All form of feedback is appreciated.

Note: For those who are familiar with the service 'rubular' will see that my front page has some similarities. I just want you all to know that I have spoken with the author of rubular and told him if there ever is any problem I will fix it accordingly. I have also included him in the credits and linked to his site. I don't want you to think that any of my hard work is plagiarism.

Thanks in advance!

Show HN: Building a Git teaching tool that runs Git in the browser
https://harmonyland.vercel.app
Repo: https://github.com/thomscoder/harmony

Harmony was born as a tool to create and/or modify local files, on the fly, in your browser.
Few weeks ago I decided to try to implement a sort of version control system in it.
I think it would be cool one day to either use it for personal use or to teach Git concepts in a sandboxed area.
Harmony is powered by web assembly and it runs all the git related stuff in-memory.

In this release I brought an initial support for directories and the possibility to checkout to a particular commit
A little search tool for C++ headers
http://www.whichheader.com
Hi! I've made a little online tool for searching through C++ headers. It's pretty basic; You enter a search term and it presents a list of header files that match the term, and the libraries that they belong to. If you click on a result, the actual header file is loaded.<p>I find it handy, hopefully others will too.<p>There are definitely some short-comings that I need to fix (I need to include boost, and make it work with IE), but I'd really appreciate any feedback to improve it.

Show HN: CoinCode.Live, cryptocurrency projects code activity monitoring
https://coincode.live/
There are different factors to consider when investing in a crypto project such as market cap, price volatility, etc. Many sources already provide this information, but what if you want to know about a project’s development activity and the people behind it? Your only option is to dig into Github, but Github is not optimized for this job. That is why we started https://coincode.live.

Coincide Live is a perfect tool for non-technical investors to quickly gain insight into the development and technical information of crypto projects. We are launching the Alpha version of the product that provides the following information:

- project observability (how transparent a project is)

- development activity rate over the different periods (last
week, last month,...)

- project details

- top contributors

- open and closed issues on Github

- …

We are currently monitoring over 1000 crypto projects from Github and Gitlab and are planning to expand this number to cover almost all known crypto projects.

Our 3-6 month goals are:

- Finding correlations between a crypto project development activity and its price history to

- facilitate future price prediction (currently work in progress)

- RESTFul/GraphQL API for developers

- Allow crypto project owners to create their own profiles and list their coins on our website

- Allow crypto project owners to only promote repositories and branches they want to and not
everything

- Allow project contributors/developers to create their own profiles on our website.

- Connecting blockchain developers with proven experience to the blockchain recruitment network

Your feedback will be most welcome, you can reach out to us at the following links:

Facebook Profiles Aren't so Secure
http://www.facebook.com
I just noticed recently that I can view private photos of people who I'm not friends with and have privacy settings on. At times you may come upon a friend and view their friends. Many people still haven't upgraded to the new Facebook format but for those that have and display their 5 photos at the top, any user can click on those photos and arrow over via the FB app to see many more photos than the five shown on the profile page. I was actually able to browse several friends of friends who I was not connected to and see many photos that they probably did not want the public to see.

Thoughts?

Ask HN: Do you still use the same online handle?
I am watching an episode of Criminal Minds and a comment was made that hackers stick to their handles as it's their online identity. I don't use the same handle I used 15 years ago, nor the alternate I used 10 years ago (though I have 2 I still use in addition to my full name which is a pretty recent thing).

So, the question is, how many people are still using their handles from years ago, and how long have you been using your current handle?

Ask HN: Looking for hacker/entrepreneur roommate in Austin, TX
I'm looking for a roommate to fill in the second bedroom of my apartment in downtown Austin. I'm a 23 year old entrepreneur and student at the University of Texas. I co-own http://anticlothes.com and have a few projects on the side for fun and personal growth. I also love helping/consulting with friends' businesses, so you're welcome to pick my brain for ideas or ask for some design help with your own projects. I'm not too picky with who I room with, but it is important to find someone with the same drive and determination; it makes for a great atmosphere.

I'm looking for a new roommate because my current roomie, and friend, is moving out to live on his own while he grows his company, GoodPop (http://goodpops.com). It's been a great year working with him on his company and watching it grow as big as it has, and I hope I help my next roommate in a similar fashion. I play a lot of soccer, work out daily, love good food and a nice glass of scotch, and am very laid back and accommodating.

The apartment is 15 stories up, with a great view of Town Lake from every room. It's a 1,425sq. ft unit with granite counter tops and carpeted bedrooms, with a balcony facing Town Lake. The building has a great gym and pool, is right off the jogging trail, and is walking distance to 6th street. Equally as important, it's just down the street from the convention center for SXSW. The building is right off of I-35, so you can get to nearly anywhere in Austin within 15-20 minutes. We negotiated the price down before moving in, so I'd hate to move out from here; a comparable apartment goes for $300 more per person. Rent is $930/mo., and I'll pay utilities.

Show HN: I built a service to detect invalid and malicious email addresses
https://campaignkit.cc/
Hello HN,

around October last year, I started to work on campaignkit.cc as a side project. It is a service to detect invalid and malicious email addresses. You can upload text files, and use the REST API or direct integration to retrieve a detailed report for each email address.

End of March I added Stripe Payments and got my first paying customers via SEM.

A coworker suggested starting a Show HN thread, so here we are :)

I used golang for the backend since I wanted something lightweight with fast compilation times (coming from scala).
For the frontend, I'm using Next.js and TailwindUI.

On the further roadmap, I plan to provide more services around email deliverability. This includes Inbox placement, Backlist monitors and DMARC Analyzer.

I’m happy to answer questions, take criticism, and generally hear what you think.
A library for Event-Driven Web Apps
http://code.google.com/p/libedwa/
I've been working on a Python library for web development. Don't worry, it's not another framework :) Instead, it lets you develop a "traditional" server side app with no JavaScript, but lets you do things like attach (server-side) callbacks to links, or track a "call stack" of page locations and the session data associated with each. I've been developing this approach for a few years (first in PHP, now Python), but I haven't run across anything similar. I'm very curious to know (1) if this approach appeals to anyone else, and (2) if there's another library or framework out there that implements something similar.
Ask HN: Playing multiplayer games while BYOD WFH
I work at a large-ish non-tech company that was forced into WFH by covid and was not really prepared for it. We install a SSL VPN and DLP software, and it split tunnels traffic. It's not a tech co and we weren't all issued corporate macbook pros or similar. We do handle some user data on these, and I believe the customer service people are also in the same situation, BYOD + VPN. I don't get paid enough to buy a whole separate setup.

I've recently found out (thanks to a HN post) that virtually all of the online games I play use increasingly invasive anticheats, and some such as Battleye will send the full contents of every certificate and driver installed, including work ones, and Hackshield/Gameguard send PII, full paths, names of open files, all of the above send full window titles and other contents that might contain personal information - even while there are no games running, and several of the rootkits start at boot. These services start and run at all times, and are not uninstalled when you uninstall the game.

I definitely have had private full names and private internal email addresses and other such things in window titles, items that would be considered 'restricted' in filenames of documents.

Do I need to be worried about this from a legal or "leaking trade secrets/PII" point of view because of the spyware that virtually every game in the world installs?
YES: But I've taken ritalin/adderall/concerta for ages - and would take it even if I wasn't programming
Show HN: Remote Work and Free Time
https://increaser.org
Hey folks!

I track time for 4 years already...

Usually, remote work isn't demanding when for an engineer in a non-early stage startup. When you like your job and are excited about career growth, putting in extra hours can payout.

But for some folks working enough hours and doing something on the side could be a better strategy. When you think of time as an investment, you may distribute it properly between a day job, side projects, and hobbies.

How do you think of your time in the era of flexible work? Do you treat it as an investment, or do you go with a flow?

P.S. If you entertain an idea of allocating and tracking time, you may try it with https://increaser.org
