Hi everyone, i just develop an engine to allow you to render your blog using github directly, by just using html, json, markdown. Here's the demo: https://porfolio-one-rust.vercel.app/revskill10/porfolio-tem... and the source: https://github.com/revskill10/porfolio-template/tree/main/bl... Currently you can use it as the starting point template and hack on it. Would love to hear your feedback.

Hey Hacker News, Myself and another nomad have been working on this for a few years. It's a travel blog that aims to make it easier to write (and read) by limiting you to one photo and 350 characters per day. The first part was easy (making it work for us), the second part took a lot longer (adding all the polish to make it usable). Mostly it's a passion project borne out of lack of alternatives. If we were going to monetise it would probably be by adding a feature to turn posts (trots) into postcards, and make a small markup over a printing API like lob.com. Probably not a huge market, but…

Hi HN, I came up with the idea for PostOwl about ten years ago! Today I can finally share it with the world. A huge thank you to Michael Aufreiter who wrote most of the code and inspired the editing interface with his editable.webite PostOwl is open-source and there are docs for deploying your own site for free. Give it a spin and let us know what you think!

I got tired of collecting open source projects in my chrome bookmarks so I decided to compile a curated list of: - Recently active projects on GitHub - Mostly dev tools (but also productivity, analytics) - Projects which are "Alternative to X software" My bookmarks are finally empty:D If you have a great open source tool you use, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi HN, I built a free, and completely open source, visual studio code extension, which generates tweets based on commits you select. While I was working on webtilities.com, an idea came to me: wouldn't it be cool that I could market this thing inside my editor. Ah, i'm truly lazy. Well, I spent a week building this thing that I bet no one will need because: * "This wont work. My commit messages are terrible" * "This is stupid, I can just use ChatGPT/Gemini/[Insert Chat Platform] directly" * "This is stupid, I get BILLED for using openai tokens" ... And the list goes on. But, I…
