Products that do what “serve” your local directory very nicely with go does
https://github.com/integrii/serve I got tired of the huge list of static asset server options out there. Python's built in one, various ruby gems, piles of npm commands... So naturally I added another (the best!) one. It is written in go, so that helps portability, speed. It's name is just 'serve'. No options or flags are required for invoking. It looks pretty. It supports hitting Command/Control-c gracefully. Hopefully this is useful to some people. Feedback welcome! Thanks!

Hi HN!I built *pyproc* to let Go services call Python like a local function — *no CGO and no separate microservice*. It runs a pool of Python worker processes and talks over *Unix Domain Sockets* on the same host/pod, so you get low overhead, process isolation, and parallelism beyond the GIL. *Why this exists* * Keep your Go service, reuse Python/NumPy/pandas/PyTorch/scikit-learn. * Avoid network hops, service discovery, and ops burden of a separate Python service. *Quick try (\~5 minutes)* Go (app): ``` go get github.com/YuminosukeSato/pyproc@latest ```…

Hey folks, I just wanted to share a quick script I threw together called notational ls. One of the big problems of any code base (or any filesystem) is that it's hard to tell what's what - folder and file names often trade brevity for clarity. So I thought about a version of `ls` that works like this: > nls web: Where python web server files are stored ad_hoc: One time scripts ios: Our IOS code images Adding descriptions is really easy too: > nls images Images SHARED between both ios and web web: Where python web server files are stored ad_hoc: One time scripts ios: Our IOS code…

Hey all, As a CEO of a growing startup I don't get to code as often as I like and when I do, I try not to annoy my team with my terrible code :) So to scratch the itch, I've built some of side projects related to what our company does. The latest is embedcurl.com I see a lot of API docs and blogs posting curl commands that are really hard to read and I figured I could make them easier to read and add some niceties like easier copy/paste, tooltips on flags, etc. They also gracefully degrade if javascript isn't enabled back to a element. The parsing is done in Python with shlex and…

I built websitino, a small static file server intended for quick local development or testing. It’s a single binary (~1.5MB), with no external dependencies or runtime requirements — just run it in any folder and it starts serving files over HTTP. It’s written in D and designed to be fast, minimal, and secure by default. Hidden files and directories (like .git) aren’t served unless explicitly enabled. You can customize behavior through simple command-line flags — e.g., enable directory listing or auto-serve index.html. Example: websitino --list-dirs --index I created it because I was tired of…

Hey! I'm a solo developer having fun learning Go. I have a side hustle and wanted to implement currency localization. I could use existing IP databases, but hosting on serverless is slow. So I built my own. I was surprised how fun it can be to use Go, and it's fast. Thankfully, Go's speed makes up for my dodgy code. Anyway, I'd love to get some feedback on my website/API. After a few weeks of testing and losing money on ads, I'm confident it's very reliable. This isn't a promo. It's basicly free (30k lookups/month), so there's no need to pay. Any advice or tips on how to grow and…

Been using it for about a year now in production, but rewrote it completely in golang. My first go project so far. I wanted to have something that would make my life easier. A lot of tools nowaday kinda push you towards functional deployments and that usually doesn't work for me since I like stuff like LiveView by Phoenix and Websocket stuff in general. Old vercel deployments back when they allowed to deploy docker containers was a godsend, but since they don't offer that anymore I had to use services like fly.io(which is amazing) or heroku. However I wanted something selfhosted that I could…

I personally haven't event used or looked at Rust so I don't have an opinion. So now I'm interested hearing what others think? I think the syntax of Rust isn't very appealing, but that's not a good reason to /not/ look at it. Convince me? :)

So I'm a junior Go dev and I made a small site that allows me to share images with someone privately and securely, and give me control over how many times the private link can be shared and how long the image will be accessible for. There are similar services to this one, but they are either convoluted with ads, or require sign-up, or expect you to fill out a survey or something. picburn is small, safe, and has no interest (nor the code or the server space) for storing your uploads. give it a try if it fits your usecase and let me know what you think. Note: there was a typo in the url

There are plenty of good tools for load testing such as JMeter, Minigun, and plenty more - but they all have their own set of options to learn. I built this one to support a simpler workflow where you just paste your curl request (or other cli command) after your `spam` config (literally just `spam -r 2 -- curl www.google.com). It's pretty barebones but I'm 100% going to use it in my day to day - figured I'd share it here if it helped anyone else!

Just made a new utility site to simply serve JSON directly from your custom domain without needing a server. This service aims to help developers who need quick and reliable JSON hosting for various use cases. We also support hosting on our subdomains, if you don't yet own a domain. Use Cases: * API Testing: Quickly set up endpoints for testing and debugging, by just changing the domain. * Prototyping: Rapidly iterate and test your ideas. * Mobile App Devs: Serve data without the headache of server management. * Static Sites and Demos: Host JSON for static websites and demonstrations. * Stub…

I'd like to share a project I've been working on for the past few months. It's a distributed workflow engine written entirely in Go. Some highlights: * Tasks are executed in a Docker container * Can run stand-alone or distributed * Highly extensible * Able to enforce limits (CPU/RAM) per task * Web UI Would love the get your feedback on it, and find out if this could be useful.

Doors: Server-driven UI framework + runtime for building stateful, reactive web applications in Go. Some highlights: * Front-end framework capabilities in server-side Go. Reactive state primitives, dynamic routing, composable components. * No public API layer. No endpoint design needed, private temporal transport is handled under the hood. * Unified control flow. No context switch between back-end/front-end. * Integrated web stack. Bundle assets, build scripts, serve private files, automate CSP, and ship in one binary. How it works: Go server is UI runtime: web application runs on a…

I created cmd-stream-go, a high-performance client-server library based on the Command Pattern, where Commands are first-class citizens. Why build around Commands? As serializable objects, they can be sent over the network and persisted. They also provide a clean way to model distributed transactions through composition, and naturally support features like Undo and Redo. These qualities make them a great fit for implementing consistency patterns like Saga in distributed systems. On the performance side, sending a Command involves minimal overhead — only its type and data need to be…

Hi! I’ve always wanted a simple way to throw my Python projects online. Just to try things out, share them, or test a webhook with a real endpoint. But every time I hit the same wall: Buy a server, Set up HTTPS, Configure DNS, Get a domain. Write boilerplate to glue it together. It always felt like too much for something so small that I wanted to test. So Ive been hacking on Thread4 (currently in alpha): a tiny platform where you can write a Python function and go live instantly at yourname.thread4.eu. It’s not for production use, just quick testing, experimenting, or sharing your idea…

Hey folks, wanted to show this off and get feedback. Still early/experimental but there are quite a few concepts I'm excited about here. This project came about while writing a program in Go and loving its approach to concurrency. Being a long-time Rubyist I immediately started to think about what similar concepts might look like in Ruby. I set out with two main design constraints: 1. Lightweight: I didn't want routines to be backed by fibers or threads. Having been involved some in the async project (https://github.com/socketry/async), I had some experience using…

I spent a long time working in the payments industry, specifically on a rather niche reporting/aggregation platform with spiky workloads that were not easily parallelized. To pump as much data through our pipeline as possible, we had to rely on complex locking schemes across half a dozen or so not-so-micro services - keeping a clear mental picture of how the services interacted for a given data source was a major headache. This problem always intrigued me, even after I no longer worked at the company, and lead to the development of Wool. If you've worked with frameworks like Ray or…

I'm starting to implement a barebones version of pytorch in Go. The primary motivation is: 1. I want to better learn Pytorch and how it works so what better way than to just re-implement some of its core features. 2. I write mainly in Go and haven't come across a lot of ML support in Go 3. I'd rather have a Go ML service instead of spinning up additional infrastructure to just support a python ML service in my Go projects 4. Go's static typing, native concurrency (avoid GIL problem in python), efficient memory management, single binary deployment and more make it a better interface compared…

Hi! I am sharing this because it may be useful to others. I created a simple Docker image that lets you easily expose a web app running locally on your dev machine to the Internet, via a proxy server. It is a self hosted alternative to something like Ngrok, which is a paid service if you use custom domains. A small server is cheaper than Ngrok (I use Hetzner Cloud and the cheapest server costs me 3€ per month). I use this method in particular to test HTTP verification with Let's Encrypt for a SaaS app running on my Mac. Hope this is useful :) Code:…
