Brök – Find broken links in text documents

In plain words

Brök is a tool that scans text documents to identify broken links. It checks URLs embedded in files and reports which ones no longer work or are inaccessible. The tool is useful for content creators, technical writers, and anyone who maintains documents with external references and needs to ensure all links remain functional. It launched as an open-source project available on GitHub.

  Bernard – a link checker for your website2024 · bernard.app · ▲104

  Introducing Bernard, the project I have been working on solo since November 2022. After months of planning, coding and talking with a small number of potential users, I feel it is time to launch and get some real feedback. GOAL: Bernard is an automated links checker that crawls your website daily, identifying broken links (internal and external), and missing redirects, such as after a redesign or URL change. TARGET AUDIENCE: Anyone with a website—be it is a personal blog or company portal—looking to prevent link rot, to keep old URLs reachable and to avoid the dreaded 404 Page Not Found…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  A basketball hoop to maximize shots that go in [video]▲971

  https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
