In plain words
Damocles is an Erlang library that simulates adverse network conditions to test distributed applications on a single Linux machine. It enables developers to generate adversarial scenarios like latency, packet loss, and disconnections without needing a complex multi-machine setup. The tool is designed for quality assurance teams testing how distributed systems behave when networks fail or degrade.

Visual flow-based programming for Erlang, inspired by Node-RED2025 · github.com · ▲243Hi There, Erlang-RED has been my project for the last couple of months and I would love to get some feedback from the HN community. The idea is to take advantage of Erlangs message passing and low overhead processes to have true concurrency in Node-RED flows. Plus also to bring low-code visual flow-based programming to Erlang.

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…
