My trick, I just use bootstrap, ask Claude for a custom Styles following a style, palete etc. Much better experience than buying and adapting and existing bootstrap theme

Great, I have a MacBook Pro M5 for work which i know IS really fast because the whole suite of specs run in les than two minutes, but except for that my "old" air m1 with 16g of ram feels super snappy.

I am just excited waiting future releases (in 5 or 10 years) able to run local llms for coding.

During the last year, in my spare time, I have been working on https://trypulso.com. The system has been working fine for the last year, and I have a real customer using it. I not even finished the landing page, but you can try it if you like.

Also, this Christmas I took a rest on Pulso, and I developed a small app to monitor the version & Support Lifecycle of large dependencies. https://stacktodate.club

Show HN: Monitor when your tech stack goes EOL

ceritium — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 16:01:27 +0000

A typical Rails app runs on Rails 7.2, Ruby 3.2, and PostgreSQL 15. It works fine. No one checks the support timelines. Then one day, Ruby 3.2 hits EOL and stops receiving security patches. Your stack is now technically unsupported, but upgrading these big dependencies takes months of planning and coordination. This is just a small example; imagine a company with many apps using different tech stacks, whether it's for a commercial project or a personal pet project.

The problem: tools like npm outdated or Dependabot catch small dependency updates. But the major dependencies (language, framework, database, OS) are different. They need advance warning so product owners can plan, teams can coordinate, and engineers can schedule the work.

I built Stack To Date to fill that gap.

  What it does:
  - Register your tech stack (manually or with the cli)
  - Get a timeline showing when each dependency reaches EOL
  - See support windows at a glance
  - Share your stack status with a badge (for READMEs, dashboards, anywhere)
  - Use the CLI to integrate into your workflow or CI/CD

  It's all free, only a small signup form, not even confirmation for now.

The hard part is the data source provided by endoflife.date, so coverage includes major languages, frameworks, databases, and operating systems.

The codebase is built with Rails 8, modern tooling, and runs on Fly.io, The cli is go lang with the help of Claude.

I'd love your feedback. Let me know what you think.

I love it, I liked what dry-initializer and dry-struct do, and I wanted something similar but simpler than RBS or Sorbet.

I tried once myself to implement something like lowtype, but without success.

I like Ruby on Rails + Postgres, GoodJob for background Jobs, sveltejs for complex widgets, bootstrap as CSS framework, vite for "compiling" the assets, deploy on Fly.io

Ask HN: The following steps for my project

ceritium — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:55:33 +0000

During the last few months, I have worked on Babelfu, a translation service on top of Github.

I released the first version as open source and shared it on Hackernews. I got several signups, but nobody seemed interested in setting up a project.

I implemented some "public repos" where I set up some open-source projects as demos and maybe got some visits via SEO. I was also working on exposing some CLDR datasets that are ready for download, but I don't enjoy doing that, and I am unsure if someone would find it helpful.

I want to implement many features, but I don't know if it's worth it if no one uses them. My time is limited; I have a full-time job and two kids.

So, I need to decide on what to focus on:

- Promote the project

- Create SEO content (which I dislike)

- Think of some viral feature

- Update the open-source version with my latest changes.

What do you think? What would you do?

ceritium — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 18:32:38 +0000

Hi, I have been building https://babelfu.com, a translation service on top of Github; it fetches the translations from your GitHub repo and commits them back, so the source of truth of the translations is the repo itself. You can forget about sync tasks, collisions between branches, etc. In the end, if there are conflicts, you manage them on Git as the rest of your code.

It is available in a very early open-source version, which I will update at some moment if I see someone interested in it.

I would be very grateful if someone gave it a try to setup a project and provided some feedback.

New comment by ceritium in "Ask HN: Is anyone doing anything cool with tiny language models?"

ceritium — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 08:42:47 +0000

I am doing nothing, but I was wondering if it would make sense to combine a small LLM and SQLITE to parse date time human expressions. For example, given a human input like "last day of this month", the LLM will generate the following query `SELECT date('now','start of month','+1 month','-1 day');`

It is probably super overengineering, considering that pretty good libraries are already doing that on different languages, but it would be funny. I did some tests with chatGPT, and it worked sometimes. It would probably work with some fine-tuning, but I don't have the experience or the time right now.

I have been working on improving the editor UI (svelte), the project wizard and adding payments on https://babelfu.com

I haven't merged those improvements on the community edition (yet) because of time constraints.

The next thing I will be working on is the GitHub Marketplace.

Congrats, it looks charming. As a suggestion, it would be great if the sidebar text was larger on mobile.

Yes, I read the "Rails" docs—the same that you linked—but I wanted to see how other projects use it. My surprise was that only a public project on Github uses it.

Ask HN: Who and how uses ensuring_owner_was on ActiveRecord

ceritium — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 08:28:43 +0000

Reading the docs for the `has_one` relation of ActiveRecord I found the option `ensuring_owner_was`

I didn't understand how to use it, so I looked for it on Github, but it doesn't seem very popular...
