No they are generated at build time (static). I was thinking of generating on the fly but wanted to release and get feedback first. Re. multiple choice, is easier than typing I guess.

Depending on your OS/screenshot tool, you can bind a key to select an area and copy it to the clipboard, then paste directly into Claude (Ctrl/Command+V). No cluttering.

Show HN: Dev Personality Test

Was curious how a personality test would look for developers. So created this using FastAPI, HTMX, and AlpineJS.

I suppose (among many other things) LLMs are changing this. We no longer need that many contributors when we can use AWS docs, intercept AWS API calls and give it to AI agent to mimic. Of course, contributors are still needed for maintaining tests and validations.

I didn't say there's no creator. I'm pretty confident that the God defined by these religions doesn't exist. Since then, I have lived comfortably with knowing enough that I don't know and might never know.

Coming from a moderate muslim family, my life actually got a huge upgrade when I realised God doesn't exist (at least the way religions describe it).

Show HN: Docklift – Probably the cheapest and fastest way to deploy web apps

4m1rk — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 22:17:10 +0000

I bought a VPS for less than $4, yet it was large enough to host multiple of my silly projects. I needed something simple and clean to deploy all of them on the same machine with SSL. No clutter, no BS. So I created it:

    uv tool install docklift
    # Create a Dockerfile
    docklift init  # Provide host info and domain
    docklift deploy

That's it. It installs Docker and Docker Compose on your VPS, uploads the source code, generates `docker-compose.yml` file for the project including Caddy configuration with SSL, builds and runs the Docker container. You only need to have Dockerfile.

I love it, but 1) I don't have good ideas to implement, 2) I need to do the same as job hunting, just dealing with more than one customer.

That's it.

Show HN: Rewrote my most important util in Rust

4m1rk — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 19:32:55 +0000

This is a small entry app for opening links in the browser profile I want based on the URL. I wrote it in Python first, and now rewrote it in Rust to make it a small standalone binary.

Didn't use vibe coding as this was my first real-world Rust rewrite, and I wanted to learn. It was easier and more enjoyable than I imagined!

Show HN: Clipipe – pipe data to another machine behind NAT

4m1rk — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 15:46:58 +0000

I was thinking it would be nice to quickly send the clipboard to another machine without direct network connectivity. Then I thought why not piping it? Not just the clipboard, but any data.

    $ xclip -sel c -o | clipipe send
    $ clipipe receive {code} | xclip -sel c

Implemented it using Python for both the CLI and server (FastAPI). Please checkout https://clipipe.io for more info and https://github.com/amirkarimi/clipipe to see the source code.
