I feel quite the same (struggle basically) as the OP.

My “stack” is self-control for blocking social and Gmail access.

And now I built QuiteCode to focus on deep coding and learning on a more mindful way.

IFF this holds true, this is going to be the biggest biohacking supplement of the next decade for sure.

Making this bold assumption as I don’t see yet a valid way to remove plastic from the modern supply chains. It’s embedded in every aspect of our lives so this will be huge if it holds true.

Three Body problem, which I think it's even greater than its Netflix adaptation

Hey Hackers,

We are building Cherry, a tool designd to solve the "spam crisis" currently hitting open-source maintainers.

With the rise of LLMs and agents, the volume of low-quality, automated PRs is making it impossible to find the good contributions.

How we want Cherry to work: - Connects to your repo: We monitor incoming PRs. - Whitelists the good bots: Dependabot, Linear agent etc., get a pass. - Verifies the humans: We intercept new/unknown contributors and ask them to verify their intent and understanding of the code before the PR alerts the maintainers. - Silences the rest: Low-effort scripts and drive-by spam get filtered out.

We are trying to walk the line between stopping spam and remaining open to new developers. It’s a hard problem.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on how to solve this without discouraging legitimate junior developers. What kind of heuristics do you currently use manually that we could automate?

I’ve been working on Hopp (a low-latency screen sharing app) using Tauri, which means relying on WebKit on macOS. While I loved the idea of a lighter binary compared to Electron, the journey has been full of headaches.

From SVG shadow bugs and weird audio glitching to WebKitGTK lacking WebRTC support on Linux, I wrote up a retrospective on the specific technical hurdles we faced. We are now looking at moving our heavy-duty windows to a native Rust implementation to bypass browser limitations entirely.
