Globster.xyz – a tool to test and visualise glob pattern matching

What it does

Glob or shell globbing refers to the process of matching glob patterns to files in the filesystem. Best to illustrate it with an example: bash shell command cp *.jpg ./thumbnails will copy all files that have .jpg extension to the thumbnails folder. In that context *.jpg is the glob pattern and it will match all the files in the current working directory that have .jpg extension. Think of it as a pattern matching for the filesystem. globster.xyz is a tool to test and visualise glob pattern matching. Type your glob pattern in the input field above and all matched files will be highlighted in blue in the tree directory structure. Use it to debug when your glob does not work or to experiment…from globster.xyz

  Globstar – Open-source static analysis toolkit2025 · ▲103

  Hey HN! We’re Jai and Sanket, co-founders of DeepSource (YC W20). We're open-sourcing Globstar (https://github.com/DeepSourceCorp/globstar), a static analysis toolkit that lets you easily write and run custom code quality and security checkers in YAML [1] or Go [2]. After 5+ years of building AST-based static analyzers that process millions of lines of code daily at DeepSource, we kept hearing a common request from customers: "How do we write custom checks specific to our codebase?" AppSec and DevOps teams have a lot of learned anti-patterns and security rules they want…

  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…
