Real Hourly Rate

What it does

Most freelancers charge $85/hr and wonder why they feel broke. Real Hourly Rate shows you 3 numbers: apparent rate, billable rate, and your TRUE hourly rate — after tax, insurance, tools, and unbilled admin time. Add projects → enter costs → see reality. Also includes a Rate Planner (reverse-calculate what to charge) and Annual Projection. No signup. No server. Your data stays local.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
