    Hi HN! This is my first open source package. PyCharm used to have a nifty tool to show you requirements.txt packages that needed updates. You could click a button and open the github page, click a button to upgrade, all in the file. It was super convenient. Then it went away. The package was written in a few languages that I have no experience with, but I figured I'd build something that worked for my use case, and maybe it can help you, too. After installing, you point it at your requirements.txt file, and it will spit out something like this: ---- File caching enabled The following…

    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.
