    Hey there, HN! My name is Rishit, and this is my first post here on HN. Let me start off by asking you a question. How many tabs do you have open in Chrome right now? If you said less than five or ten: Congratulations, you’re not suffering from the dreaded 'Too Many Tabs Syndrome' (TMTS). Well, most probably! We all grow and start from zero. What?! Say that again. Did I hear you correctly? 25? 50? 100? Maybe even more? Or you’re just too lazy like me and said ‘too many’ since you can’t count them on your fingers? Woah! Now we’re talking! Yeah, yeah, I know, we’re in HN land after all, so I…

    I built this over the weekend. Any feedback is appreciated. Please note you will need a WebGL enabled browser. Thank you for checking it out. --UPDATE-- HN Traffic is strangling earthbit. There is sporadic downtime due to the web services I am using, if no transactions appear after a few seconds, then please try again in an hour.

    Hello HN, I had some christmas free time over the last two weeks (Merry Christmas btw ;-)) and used that time to completely recreate the website of my app[1]. I used all the fancy new tools. I didn't know some of them when I started. What was my goal? * Pretty website * Blazing fast * Mobile first * SSR * Webp support * Generally all the best website practices (high lighthouse score) What did I use? * Tailwindcss (https://tailwindcss.com/) * Tailwind Components (https://tailwindui.com/) * React (https://reactjs.org/) * ViteJs…

    I was unhappy with the Crunchbase UI so I wrote a web app with a clean and minimal UI. I thought you guys would enjoy it. It's alphaish, but usable.

    *Problem*: As a developer, I often juggle 50+ tabs across projects. Existing bookmark managers felt clunky, and tab groups required too many clicks. *Solution*: TabTab replaces your new tab page with a grid-style dashboard. Key features: - Save all open tabs as a collection with one click (perfect for debugging sessions) - Self-hosted sync via GitHub Gist/WebDAV (no tracking, your data stays yours) - Keyboard shortcuts & drag-and-drop (demo video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQQEKbI9moc]) *Tech Stack*: Built with WXT (browser extension framework) + React + Tailwind.…

    Hey there, I'm a solo dev behind KewlTools. So I'm one of those people who like to build their own tools/utilities whenever they a) want to get something done, or b) want to learn something. c) don't want to spend ages finding a utilty and going through walls of ads. I gradually built 66 tools, all free, fast, ad-free, and zero login. I (and my family/friends) use these daily, so thought some of you will find it useful! Any suggestions, improving current tools or adding new ones, please let me know.

    Hey HN! This idea started with me not being able to buy a GPU and constantly losing to bots/scalpers. I figured I'd use this as way to see how far I can get with 'vibe-coding and designing'*. The end result was pretty far! Here are more details of behind the scenes. In a future blog post, I'll detail behind the scenes process of building this. - The landing page is React/Typescript/Tailwind.css (which I've never used before) - The dashboard is based on Evidence.dev - which is SQL queries in Markdown + little bit of custom Javascript for chart formatting (again never used…

    I often forget the list of tasks done and frequently miss mentioning updates during stand-ups. I made a Chrome Extension for myself and I found myself using it more than expected in the last few weeks (especially as I was at home) Sharing it here so others can give it a try too: https://usedone.today/

    Hello HN! Beginner dev here; read several articles about the challenges faced by users with disabilities (and the impact on businesses). Thought to build a chrome extension to enhance web experience for users with disabilities, after realizing that current solutions focus on auditing web for accessibility. Current features published on Chrome store: Text Magnification | High contrast | Alt text | TTS. Working on (but not published yet) tooltip to explain each feature, additional language support. Will appreciate feedback, collaborations and suggestions of things to improve. GitHub Repo:…

    Because I wanted to learn Angular JS, I developed Time Capsule, a chrome extension that replaces your "new tab page" with a newsfeed from yourself from one year ago. It also allows you to set goals for yourself for the next year. The idea of replacing the "new tab page" is that you can look at your goals everyday. Overall the experience with Angular JS was very good and I'd love some feedback on the finished extension.

    I built a simple Chrome extension to finally deal with my tab anxiety. I used to have 100s of tabs open — half were tasks, the rest were links I didn’t want to lose. Now, if something’s quick (like replying to an email), I just do it and close the tab.If it’s a task that’ll take time, I add a one-line note with a link (if needed) to the To-do tab.If it’s not a task but something I want to read or save, I add it to the Links tab — and close the tab. This small workflow has been a game-changer. I finally feel okay closing tabs and can focus better.The to-do list forces me to pick just one…
