  It has been almost 10 years since I started the opencv-python packaging project. Scaling it to more than 100 million downloads as a side project showed me how much ease of installation and proper package distribution matter to users. It gave the computer vision ecosystem a noticeable boost. Now I have a new idea that I hope can help even more people across the broader software engineering world. A while ago, I realized I kept giving the same advice to teammates and friends when they ran into a programming issue they couldn't easily solve: go to GitHub and look at how others solved it.

  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.
