Fascinating, can you share why you need a 10Mhz reference?

Beautiful! One small thing on the iPhone using Safari; it would be nice to have the clock vertically centered. Now it’s near the bottom half of the screen. Looking great otherwise!

I enjoy Obsidian [1] daily. Perhaps more than a minimal editor, but very powerful overall.

Ask HN: What other companies have a published (engineering) handbook?

o_enix_o — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 23:47:07 +0000

GitLab famously has their open handbook detailing how they go about on many topics.

What other companies do you know that have a similar body of knowledge in the open? I’m specifically interested in any engineering processes as this is something we intend to write as well for our company over the coming years and it would be great to have multiple examples.

Ask HN: Business Process UI Frameworks

o_enix_o — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 10:59:15 +0000

Hi HN,

We are simplifying and rationalising a set of 30-ish rather complex (finance) processes. Currently the rules and logic are all-over-the-place, specifically in ESBs, chucks of java & low-code applications and otherwise. This scattering of logic makes it expensive to change, hard to test and even more difficult to track errors. Add to that, not all steps are automated / exposed, resulting in customers calling to get updates.

The plan is to consolidate as much as possible into a set of well-designed REST APIs, and use simple cloud based flow tools (for instance AWS Step functions) to codify the rules.

However, some steps will require manual tasks; either to handle an error case, check the status or provide some input that can't (yet) be automated.

What would be your choose for toolkit/framework to build the UIs for our internal employees?

We are moving towards a JS/React set-up, so perhaps there is a nice library there or we should go full custom build, but I'm open for all - inc. SAAS or other FW / tool / builder suggestions.

Many thanks

One question - what do you do with the End-of-Month Reconciliation? Is that something you fill in every month?
