I've been trying to write more consistently (2x month) since the beginning of the year about startup and tech topics in general. I like to share experiences and perspective over organisational, hiring and product topics.

I always liked to do it and had a old Wordpress website, but now I decided to code it from scratch to make the blogging experience simpler. Allowing me to drag and drop Word files over the page to create articles. I also blogged about that!

Thank you Tuchsen, will take a look on the crash if I can replicate it somehow!

Regarding the --init in the beginning, my idea was to guide the user step-by-step. That way the input can be checked in "real-time". But fair point that it is a bit odd, especially for the copy flag.

Fair point, I used the term too loosely and thought just of publishing on GitHub. Will add a license! Any feedback on HWT?

Show HN: HWT, an open-source alternative to GitHub Copilot CLI

HWT is an open-source tool with which you can generate terminal commands using natural language.

It is based on GPT-3 (so you need an OpenAI API key) and can generate commands with the user typing `hwt list all the hidden files`. (it works for more complex queries as well)

I started working on this a while ago in a slightly different format (i.e., using a backend and with more languages). Then Github announced Copilot CLI and I put it on hold. After a while, I thought: why not share HWT as an open-source alternative? This way people can have another option with more control.

HWT is the first time I built a more "complex" terminal user interface (TUI). It was surprising how much you can do nowadays with terminal applications in terms of interactivity and "design". It uses Ink.js and runs over Node. It was quite a smooth experience.

Let me know what you think and if have some feedback!

Show HN: I built a blog where I drag-and-drop doc files to upload articles

mrhat — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 16:16:33 +0000

Hi HN, this is my first time sharing something I built after "lurking" here for a long time!

I wanted to build a simple blog where I can publish some thoughts and ideas. And I thought it would be nice not to rebuild an online editor. I wanted to work on articles on a desktop editor (e.g., Word/Pages) and just drag-and-drop the file on the website to upload it. I am quite happy about the results.

Let me know what you think! I added a video demo/explainer to the page as well :)

Happy Wednesday and happy hacking everyone!

With all the "recent" talks about 4 day workweeks, I looked for alternatives and stumbled upon this "CGP Grey" video. What do you think about Weekend Wednesday?
