24 alternatives to Tab vs. Space, vote for your empty space
Hello guys. I built a simple voting app Tab vs Space. I am using turso.tech (libsql) and Nuxt 3. I was planning to use websocket but it's just too complicated and just went with long-polling every 5 seconds to get the data and deploy it to cloudflare pages/worker. There is no need to login and also no IP tracking. I use installation id and save it to cookies, so basically you can clear cookies to get a new installation id. I don't know a better way to get unique user without being "intrusive" but if you have a better idea please do give one. You can check the source code here…

Peek▲404Hey HN, My cofounder and I have gotten tired of CC ignoring our markdown files so we spent 4 days and built a plugin that automatically steers CC based on our previous sessions. The problem is usually post plan-mode. What we've tried: Heavily use plan mode (works great) CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md Local context folder (upkeep is a pain) Cursor rules (for Cursor) claude-mem (OSS) -> does session continuity, not steering We use fusion search to find your CC steering corrections. - user prompt embeddings + bm25 - correction embeddings + bm25 - time decay - target query embeddings -…

Tag my Tab▲128Hello Again HN ! My name is Tafita, and I'm back with my second launch: Tag my Tab The indie hacker journey hasn't gotten easier (spoiler: the imposter syndrome is real), but seeing people actually use something I built? That feeling never gets old. Meet Tag my Tab – Never Lose a Tab Again So here's the thing: while building and marketing my other products, I found myself drowning in browser tabs. Research articles, competitor analyses, design inspiration, documentation, customer feedback. I'd have 30+ tabs open, my browser grinding all my RAM and I was living in constant fear of that…

SpacePigeon▲93I switch between a few different “modes” on my Mac every day (work, coding, meetings, personal stuff). Each time I’d end up reopening the same apps and dragging all the windows back into the right Spaces. Super repetitive and honestly kind of annoying. So over the past few weeks I hacked together a small open-source tool called SpacePigeon that basically remembers your whole workspace and puts everything back where it was. Things it can do: Save your current layout (apps + windows + Spaces) Restore it with one click or a hotkey Keep separate presets (like “Work”, “Coding”, “Meetings” etc.)…

Hey HN! I'm Dris, I'm 17, and for the past few months, I've been solo-developing Parkt, an app that lets you quickly reserve or sell parking spots. Parking sucks - it's expensive, hard to find, and you usually overpay or get a ticket. With Parkt, you can reserve parking in 2 taps, or list your unused space in under 5 minutes. It's now free to download on iOS (with Android coming soon)! You can also check out a demo on the site if you're interested. If you know someone who might use Parkt, sharing the app would be super helpful! Feedback is also appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm delighted to share my latest little venture just in the nick of time for the November Startup Sprint which I've really enjoyed. Been working away on the MVP for most of the last month, so it's awesome to be able to keep working on it having got the "launch" out of the way. I've been lucky to have some great friends trying it out for weeks now and helping me shape it, so this doesn't feel like a huge event, just another step in iterating to keep improving the product. Please check it out and let me know your feedback, you're always awesome - http://bufferapp.com

I recently launched my first web app, polls.io. It's a super simple polling app that doesn't require sign-up. In my opinion, this is the most simple/social polling app out there. There are certainly many similar apps out there, but I think this one stands out as it straight-forward and doesn't have any unnecessary "mess" getting in the way of the actual poll. From idea to inception this took about a week. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. We'll be listening to feedback in the coming days/weeks in order to make the proper changes. I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts and feedback!…
