Kahuna, the IndexedDB-Manager Webextension
This has been my pet project and playground for a long time and has gone throught several framework changes, overhauls, etc.. Sometime last winter I realized that there has been a lot of progress since I started using plain javascript and lit-html and that it is time for a release. And then the hard work began... But anyone who has used the browser's own developer tools for working with IndexedDB databases will probably agree that there must be more convenient methods. And even though Kahuna can't do everything I want it to yet, it's certainly a good start. Since yesterday, the webextension…

In plain words
Kahuna is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that provides a more convenient interface for managing IndexedDB databases compared to built-in developer tools. It allows developers to view, edit, and work with IndexedDB data more easily during development and debugging. The tool is built with plain JavaScript and lit-html, and the creator welcomes feedback and feature requests as development continues.

Kasama – an IntelliJ plugin to keep track of your coding practices2024 · plugins.jetbrains.com · ▲105Hi HN, I want to share with you an IntelliJ plugin I have developed and launched. Based on my own needs, I wanted a plugin that monitors my coding practices and gives me stats about them in order for me to improve on them. So, here is Kasama: An IDE plugin that works like a sport fitness tracker, gathering data on: - your coding sessions, i.e. how long are you active in the IDE and for which project - your activity in different modules, and how the activity is split between test code and prod code - your version control (git) interactions: how often you commit, the lifespan your branches,…

- IMI'm making an AI scraper called FetchFox2024 · fetchfoxai.com · ▲105
Hi! I'm Marcell, and I'm working on FetchFox (https://fetchfoxai.com). It's a Chrome extension that lets you use AI to scrape any website for any data. I'd love to get your feedback. Here's a quick demo showing how you can use it to scrape leads from an auto dealer directory. What's cool is that it scrapes non-uniform pages, which is quite hard to do with "traditional" scrapers: https://youtu.be/wPbyPSFsqzA A little background: I've written lots and lots of scrapers over the last 10+ years. They're fun to write when they work, but the internet has changed in ways…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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.…
