BewCloud is a simpler alternative to Nextcloud written in TypeScript▲62
For the last month or so I've been working on bewCloud, and today I'm making its source code public and open! Right now, the Dashboard (URLs + freeform notes), News (RSS/Atom/JSON feeds), and Contacts (CardDav) are working. If you have any suggestions, comments, or recommendations, I'd love to hear it. Thank you for your attention and kindness. I really appreciate it!

FlareBar▲82
Hi HN, I've been using Cloudflare for my work for a while now and getting to the dashboard has been a pickle. After adding the 8th page to my bookmarks, I realised it wasn't tenable. I noodled around with the idea and came up with this. Now I reach the page I want very quickly. The app is free to use for a single account, and a one time $50 purchase unlocks everything else - multiple accounts + customization.

Just Fucking Use Cloudflare – A satirical guide to the CF stack▲33
Inspired by the recent justfuckingusetailwind.com, I built a similar "love letter" to the Cloudflare ecosystem. I find myself reaching for Workers, R2, D1, and KV for almost every project lately, so I wanted to capture that sentiment in a single, slightly over-the-top page. It’s a simple side project, but the stack is: - Vite + TypeScript - Biome + Ultracite - Deployed (obviously) on Cloudflare First draft in Claude, the copy was drafted with Grok to get that specific tone, then I used Google's AI Studio to accelerate the build with touch up's in Cursor.
