I haven’t heard this. Do you have any supporting sources or links?

As others in the thread have pointed out, Euki is a wonderful application and having interacted with members of their team, I know they are committed to maintaining their liberating privacy stances.

I've never seen a leap mode like this. It seems pretty intuitive.

What were the features that were most important to you in your text editor? Did you try to build it for multiple types of workflows?

Show HN: kvweb, a Web GUI for Redis/Valkey

chambored — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 01:07:49 +0000

Hey HN, over the past couple of months I've been building kvweb which is a web-based GUI for browsing and editing Valkey/Redis databases. I wanted something like pgweb but for Valkey, and when I dug into the existing options they were either desktop apps, looked pretty dated, or were missing features I cared about. redis-cli is great for quick commands but I wanted something visual for exploring unfamiliar databases. It's a Go backend with a Svelte frontend that compiles down to a single binary, so you just point it at any Valkey or Redis instance and open your browser. AGPL licensed.

Each data type has its own editor: strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams, HyperLogLog, and geo with a map view. You can search keys with glob or regex, filter by type, browse them as a tree, and bulk delete. It auto-detects compressed values (gzip, zstd) and decompresses them for display. Changes show up live via WebSocket keyspace notifications, and there's a built-in command console if you need to run something ad-hoc. Screenshots at kvweb.dev

I’m in the same situation. Zed’s Claude Code is better in terms of control, but it’s wildly buggy and unreliable. Definitely not a drop in replacement.

IN 2020, when I started my CS degree, we first learned Python and then quickly switched to Java for the remainder of the program.

I'll indications point to this GitHub user [1], Alexis Sellier [2], as the engineer behind this. Good luck with such an ambitious goal. I'd love to see it.

I’ve been using devenv for about 6 months now. I’ve started new projects with it and migrated old ones to use it as well. I’ve also set up my org’s repositories with it. Onboarding devs to projects is simple. All everyone needs on their local machine is git, nix, and devenv. Bonus points for using it with direnv for automatic shell activation when you enter a directory. Direnv allows for IDE integrations as well for project dependencies.

Secret? It’s the obvious trajectory. The ad industry already monetized our browsing history for its insights into user behavior. Prompt history is even more valuable. It’s a window into someone’s thoughts. When the AI bubble bursts and investors want their money back, selling prompt data to advertisers will be the easy play.

I’m only a few years in the industry, and in my CS program, we were constantly told something along the lines of “any time you have to copy paste, look for an opportunity to abstract”. I’ve been running into problems lately where my attempts at abstractions have made things significantly more complicated. Only when I hit the limits of the abstraction I realize the cost of maintaining similar functionality in multiple places was less. I’m going to try your approach in future.

I found setting up nix shells to be more time consuming than docker setups. Nixpkgs can require additional digging to find the correct dependencies that just work on other distributions. That being said, I’m a huge fan of NixOS, but I haven’t seen it as a replacement for docker for reproducible dev environments yet.

I agree with this. For multi-OS dev teams, I’ve set up separate compose files or Dockerfiles for dev and prod. I kept them as similar as possible while optimizing the images for prod and including the niceties for dev.
