Show HN: Typing Cyclist
https://typing-cyclist.vercel.app/
The app started from the idea to see if we can make a developer friendly type training app. One thing this app should accomplish is being fast and intuitive with minimal distractions. Another requirement was that it should help with training your typing speed when writing code.

Currently the demo app comes with a couple of modes and settings. Most importantly the are three difficulty levels (basic, intermediated and advanced) as well as a code mode (for training your type speed when writing code). Furthermore we have some rudimentary statistics (like avg. typing speed over time and error rate on a per key basis).

Finally as the name implies, you should be able able to cycle through the training via shortcuts, being able to navigate from one course to the next, without having to leave the keyboard avoiding context switches.

There are more features like focus mode (larger text, zero distractions) and even the possibility to add your own custom texts and try with them.

Last but not least, maybe the most important feature: dark mode.
You can try the demo over at http://typing-cyclist.vercel.app, let us know what you think.

Show HN: Auto-Generated C4 Architecture Diagrams in Go
https://threedots.tech/post/auto-generated-c4-architecture-diagrams-in-go/
Hey HackerNews!

One of the most common problems in IT projects is the problem of out-of-date documentation or lack of documentation. Architecture diagrams are an essential part of it.

C4 Model is trying to help with that by providing a tool that helps to standardize a way to create clear architecture diagrams on multiple levels.

But having a standard practice to follow is not enough to have this documentation up-to-date. Because of that, Krzysztof from my team created a script that can make these diagrams directly from the code.

Unfortunetly we can't share our company code. Fortunately, we have Wild Workouts DDD example that is a perfect use case to show the power of that tool: https://github.com/ThreeDotsLabs/wild-workouts-go-ddd-exampl....

The linked article describes all the needed steps to create these diagrams. Feel free to play with it and try to add it to your project.

If you want to know more about Wild Workouts DDD example, they are already 14 articles that describe the project in detail: https://threedots.tech/series/modern-business-software-in-go....

Iran Supreme Leader's Response to Charlie Hebdo Shooting
http://farsi.khamenei.ir/ndata/news/28731/index.html#en
"To the Youth in Europe and North America" is an online open letter written on January 21, 2015 by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to Al-Monitor, it may be the first time that young people in the West have been directly addressed by a senior Islamic cleric about his religion.
Prompted by the Charlie Hebdo shooting in Paris on 7 January 2015 by militants who said that they had acted in the name of Islam,
and by the current image of Islam in the West, Khamenei released the letter on his official website and promoted by a Twitter account attributed to him.

VAT Mini One Stop Shop Problem for very SMEs 
http://www.accountingweb.co.uk/anyanswers/question/vat-mini-one-stop-shop-problem-very-smes
The EU just scored a massive own goal, they have essentially tried to hit amazon and such for registering their businesses in Luxemburg (where VAT is low), and have made a bunch of reporting requirements that will probably come close to killing the smallest businesses. This makes very little sense because these little businesses that survive because they can sell world wide from a single locality will now have to either report in 10's of countries what sales they have made and set up shop there for VAT registration purposes, or they will have to use the countries local version of the MOSS portal where they will declare for each EU country what the VAT is for that country. It doesn't help that every country has a different rate, that the identity standards required are ridiculously high (3 independent pieces of data to be kept for 10 years) and that you can be audited by EVERY country.

What an unbelievable mess.

On top of that they formally require foreign entities to register for this scheme as well when they have absolutely no way of knowing a transaction even took place.

Absolutely incredible this.

Google Places on your phone
http://vinaykola.com/blog/2011/06/02/google-places-on-your-phone/
The basic idea here is to build an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) that is accessible through the phone. Something like JustDial, but without the hassle of talking to another human on the other end. You tell the phone the area you’re interested in, what type of establishments you’re looking for (hotels, restaurants or in an emergency, hospitals) and you will get a list of establishments that match the criteria you specified. Simple and fast.

Feedback on our Wyncode project, Interque
As a project for Wyncode, a coding bootcamp in Miami, my friend and I recently built Interque, which is like StackOverflow for technical interview questions.

We don't view it as a business but we're hoping we can get people to at least use it locally in Miami. If nothing else, we think it'll be a resource for people who go through Wyncode.

We know it needs more work. We were hoping we could put it out there to the hackernews community (known for being a tough crowd) and get feedback on what we should do to develop it further.

The gamification system can be very easily gamed as it stands. We're planning on building in some controls to that if people start using it.

If you get a chance, we'd love for you to take a look and give us some feedback: http://www.interque.co/

We're not good developers yet but we're going to be. :)

Thanks in advance.

Challenges and Opportunities After Coronavirus
Hello Everyone,

We hope you are all well and taking care of yourself. With almost the entire world in lockdown, these are unprecedented times. We are dealing with the immediate challenges but what happens after? The impact on jobs, finances, education, travel, food, environment, startups ... It gives us jitters thinking about these challenges.

We are running a global virtual hackathon to solve these https://thecoronavirushackathon.com/challenges .

Did we miss anything?

Also, I wonder if the community would have some time to join us during our virtual hackathon on Apr 09/10? We need partners/ attendees/ facilitators/ mentors .. everyone.

I look forward to your comments. Thank you, everyone, and take care of yourself!

Cheers

Seer Engine: A conceptual search engine that sees.
http://bharatinternet.in/blog/seer-engine-a-conceptual-search-engine-that-sees/
We have an index bin with all the indexed pages. Every search brings up closely related results chosen randomly from the bin. We are location aware and we will look for matching results close to users location and beyond randomly. There is no ranking for the main index. Extra filters are available to choose from before and after doing a search to get user desired results like sorting based on select parameters etc. Businesses that bid and pay will have a block displaying paid results(pay big, rank high) on top of the regular results page. Paid results are not PPC ads etc, they are paid business listings that rank high based on bid amounts. Seer Engine is a hybrid utilizing the power of cloud and peer to peer resource sharing. Peers who share their power will be compensated in form of credits(for paid listings or perks/cash unrelated to seer engine). We will not judge go out and decide this is right or wrong, it is for Users to decide what is good and bad for them, not our choice. Obscene and sick stuff that almost all of us frown upon, seer engine will not see this stuff. We will not index sick stuff, if we do by mistake our filters will filter this junk out automatically based on public word lists. Seer Engine is context aware, it understands language like a human being(well try to) and gets rid of JUNK that you will never see on SEER.

Review my startup: Secure webmail service
http://pipemail.org/
After two and a half years of work: Pipemail sees public light. Pipemail encrypts emails using aes256; but any symmetric-key encryption cipher works, really. It's built around the idea that an email provider should never be able to retrieve the emails that their users send. To achieve this I invented a fragmented key assembling method.

There's some other nifty features available, like that we automatically strip EXIF tags from attached image files and allow users to send emails that are only readable once by the recipient. You can check out the documentation here: http://bit.ly/fIjLPk

I really hope that you like it. Hopefully we can shed light in this modern Big Brother day and age.

Oh, and it's free of course. But you can donate if you like it :-)

How to Protect Your Home Network
http://techcombo.com/how-to-protect-your-home-network
We have all heard of hackers, and what they are capable of doing, the simple way to prevent them is not to give them anything to feed off. If you are not familiar with the term “hacker”, an example in the tech industry is the Mikeyy worm (hacker name: Michael Mooney) who breached the popular micro-blogging service, Twitter.

You would be quite amazed at how easily you can be compromised, lots of computer networks tend to be vulnerable and are so easily hacked.

You would have thought that, the way technology is advancing, the networking region would have become more efficient and safe. But you would be mistaken. A few years ago, only people who were advanced and cautious about their computer networking and had sufficient know-how, would set up networks. Therefore, they could keep to keep any hackers at bay, at least from their network.

Nowadays, anyone and everyone set up home networks. There are now, many more “newbie’s” in comparison to advanced networkers. People tend to go through the network installation process ignoring any software/hardware protection; likely to be using a basic set-up which, as we know can be their biggest downfall. Another 10 minutes of a user’s time, exploring how to secure their network, is the defining moment which makes your network hack-proof or not.
