What it does

https://launchweek.dev/lw/MEGA KeyHippo is a Postgres extension that lets you issue API keys directly from SQL and validate them in RLS policy in parallel with your existing session-token flow (e.g. Supabase Auth).

Extend your Postgres Row Level Security to enable API key authentication

KeyHippo extends your Row Level Security policies to enable API key authentication and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). -- Use API keys within your existing policy: CREATE POLICY "allow_owner_access" ON "public" . "table_name" USING ( ( SELECT "auth" . "uid" () = "table_name" . "owner_id" ) OR ( SELECT user_id FROM keyhippo . current_user_context ()) = "table_name" . "owner_id" ); Backed by Combinator Oh yeah, it's fast too. key validation ops / year Create, rotate, and revoke API keys with built-in scope controls. Implement granular RBAC with groups, roles, andfrom keyhippo.com

    Keypub.sh – OAuth for the terminal using SSH keys2024 · keypub.sh · ▲222

    Hi HN! I built KeyPub.sh to solve the problem of user verification for CLI applications. It's essentially OAuth for the terminal, but using SSH keys that developers and users already have. - No installation needed - works with existing SSH setup - Privacy-focused: users control what email info is shared - Simple email verification process - Free public service - Perfect for CLI app developers who don't want to build user verification Try it with: `$ ssh keypub.sh about` Source code: https://github.com/skariel/keypub

  • Talanoa▲340

    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…
