    Morning HN. I often found myself wondering "how much does this code segment take in terms of total runtime" and it's often quite annoying to figure out with optimizations enabled, especially when working on something new or testing someone else's implementation without the proper tooling set up. Wanted to have a single include lib that would allow us to write something like: ``` PROFILE("Loop 1") for (...) // some work ``` and have the next expression automatically record time & dump results to a table. Wrote a few macros to do exactly that a few months back, but they were…

    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.
