I started doing the free version of the course a few days ago - the lessons are excellent but what is even better are the homework tasks which allows me to run my tests locally!

It's sometimes easy to just listen and understand, but be unable to write the code myself - having this coding homework task has really helped me solidify this new knowledge.

10/10 would recommend

Show HN: Turning Websites into Animated Videos

neriymus — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 19:08:52 +0000

Hello there, I'm building minidemo [https://minidemo.co]. It's a tool which turns websites into animated videos. I'm going off the intuition that the front page of websites usually need some kind of animated video of the product.

Instead of "rebuilding" the website from scratch in AfterEffects etc, why not just capture the website and animate that instead.

Here's one example to try: https://minidemo.co/example?id=cm44tfcue0057fychjktgzsq3

Hope to get some feedback - minidemo definitely is not perfect yet, and would love to hear about your bug complains and feature requests - feel free to reach out at neriymus@gmail.com

"Programming Rust 2.0" - the online rust book didn't make rust click for me, but this book definitely did

Just curious what your thought are regarding this (https://zaplib.com/docs/blog_post_mortem.html) if you have seen it. Does implementing a physics engine in Rust and complied in wasm provide you guys with quite a big performance boost? Asking because I've considered doing so for my team, but have reservations about the performance increase.

I have the EXACT same problem. Constantly refreshing and refreshing insta, reddit, hackernews, etc etc. Shameless plug, I built this to try to curb my addiction -> https://github.com/neriymus/Fetcher, maybe it'll help someone else.

I started working on porting an internal viz tool in the company I work at from JS to Rust/wasm 2 weeks ago. Thanks for writing this post mortem up, has made me think twice whether its worth the work.

I was addicted to refreshing websites - twitter, reddit, etc etc. So I wrote an extension to essentially pull new posts for me every 10 minutes - its actually saved so much of my time.

Came across this to draw graph diagrams. It's pretty cool, with it's ability to suggest positions to best place my nodes.

New comment by neriymus in "Ask HN: Do you have a dedicated QA team?"

neriymus — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 16:26:52 +0000

Good QAs are so important. There are so many bugs that would have never been found by us. In the past 3 weeks, both our QAs have been off, and the inbox list of problems have grounded to almost zero! Not because we are writing more-than-usual-amazing code, but because no one managed to find them.

Show HN: Fetcher: grab posts that you used to refresh manually

neriymus — Tue, 22 Mar 2022 20:25:54 +0000

Hi all, I've created a chrome extension that fetches the posts from websites I usually refresh manually from.

I read alot of reddit, and twitter, and hackernews, and I grew addicted to refreshing to get new updates. This extension does that for me, and filters posts which I have already seen. Happy to get any feedback/PRs! :)

I'm trying to solve my addiction of refreshing tabs constantly to get updates from my social media profiles, by building something that does it for me instead

Think rss, but for my personal feeds.

Still mvp, lotsa bugs, but if anyone has similar problems -> https://fetcher.page

neriymus — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 23:10:18 +0000

This is slightly unrelated/related to the author's problem, but I've been working on creating something that can continually scrape websites for updates for me - and tell me when something has changed. Still a WIP, but if anyone's interested: https://fetcher.page
