WebReducer – micro event sourcing cloud function
Hey everyone, WebReducer is a project I've been working on since last December. You can read about my process here: https://offbyone.us/tags/micro-business/ Send some data to WebReducer. Then, write a reducer function to retain some state. You can change the reducer function as much as you want and recreate that state. Still working on how to explain it. It's a tiny FaaS platform. It's a tiny database. It's micro event sourcing. It's "redux" on the server as a service. It's a backend for tiny personal projects. It's a place to send your webhooks. I'm looking for…

In plain words
WebReducer is a lightweight serverless platform that combines event sourcing, state management, and data storage in one service. Users send data to WebReducer and define reducer functions to maintain state, which can be recalculated by modifying the reducer code. It functions as a minimal backend for personal projects, a tiny database, and a webhook endpoint, offering server-side Redux-like functionality for developers building small-scale applications.

Go Micro – A distributed systems development framework2020 · go-micro.dev · ▲115I can't tell if HN is the right kind of place for this stuff anymore since people are so advanced in their use but I thought it was interesting to leverage my existing Go microservices framework and turn it into the core of what would provide tools for an agent cli or whatever beyond that. Extensibility is key. Thought I'd share and get a conversation going.

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…

Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…

We're building Parsnip to create a "tech tree" of cooking skills that allows anyone to level up on the building blocks of cooking knowledge while tracking their progress over time. It took us a few iterations to figure out the right product; here's the story of our latest pivot: [https://parsnip.substack.com/p/a-new-hope] The goal is to create a personalized way to learn any recipe on the Internet, then use this as a springboard to help home cooks of all levels solve the problem of repeated meal planning in a 10x better way:…
