Hacker Live – real-time Hacker News client built using Phoenix LiveView

In plain words

Hacker Live is a real-time client for Hacker News built with Phoenix LiveView. It displays live-updating story lists and comments with an interface similar to the original Hacker News. The client includes AI-generated subtitles and summaries to help users evaluate content, sticky comment context to navigate nested threads, and features like paywall-bypass links and previous submission history. It currently operates in read-only mode and lacks profile pages.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hacker Live is a client for Hacker News that provides live updates to lists and comments. I’ve built this to get into Elixir / Phoenix / LiveView development. The UI follows HN look and feel for the most part, with a few opinionated tweaks and additions: - Sticky comment summaries to help keep track of the…

  Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android▲1,521

  Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
