    Patr is a code deployment platform that helps you deploy AND SCALE your applications with a simple, intuitive interface. I started building this platform as a side project because of the huge number of deployments I had to make at my startup everyday. I quickly realised that this work could be easily automated. I tried using other platforms like Heroku, AWS Beanstalk, Render, Fly.io etc; but most of them seemed either too complex to use, too expensive, or simply did not give me enough control over my infrastructure. I was looking for something that allows me to automate my infrastructure…

    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…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
