What it does

Stop Firebase bill shock & app instability! Flames Shield provides essential guardrails: Billing Kill-switch + Smart Rate Limiting. Operate Firebase reliably & within budget. Built for developers needing cost control & stability. See comments for details!

Automated Firebase penetration testing to find vulnerabilities in Firestore rules, auth, and functions. Prevent runaway costs and stop DDoS attacks.

Automated penetration testing finds vulnerabilities in your Firestore rules, Cloud Functions, and Auth settings. Plus DDoS protection and a billing kill switch to prevent surprise $10,000+ bills. One misconfigured Firestore rule can expose your entire database. One DDoS attack can cost you $50,000 overnight. Traditional security audits are expensive and only give you a snapshot. Insecure Firestore rules expose sensitive user data. 73% of Firebase apps have at least one security vulnerability. DDoS attacks and billing abuse can spike your Firebase bill from $100 to $50,000 in 24 hours. Manual security audits cost $5,000+ and take weeks. By then, your rules have already changed.

    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…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
