What it does
The easiest was to describe Locklock is Lock-as-a-Service - a REST API for simple distributed locks. When accessed by multiple clients at the same time, locklock guarantees only one of the incoming requests will acquire the specified lock. Locklock was designed to be instantly usable and is accessible as a free public service at https://public.locklock.io/v1/api . The free version of Locklock supports UUIDs as lock identifiers as it is straightforward to ensure uniqueness of these identifiers across multiple users and avoid namespace collisions. Paid accounts support a range of additional functionality, including custom lock identifiers in your own namespace (see below for more…from locklock.io

Hi guys, creator of lockable here - the easiest way to think of lockable is as `flock` for when you don’t have a shared file system. You can use it to control concurrent access to resources or to ensure only a single instance of a process runs at any given time. Your processes can acquire, refresh and release locks via simple HTTP requests, so it’s language/framework agnostic. E.g. with `curl`: $ curl https://lockable.dev/api/acquire/my-lock-name { "response": true //or false, if the lock wasn’t available } $ curl…

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…

After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game! Website: http://angeldu.st My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks. The client is programmed in C++…
