Indeed.

This collection costed me around one-month Claude pro subscription around April/May I think. Staggered because of rate-limiting. But it was almost entirely developed on my phone, with Claude Code in the Claude app cloning the github repo, raising PRs, and Netlify giving me previews of the PR's changes for me to see before merging. So I used to have like 3/4 Claudes working on separate games, and review them in the PR previews, discard/approve as I see fit.

After that, once the original shape, architecture and philosiphy were set in, I now maintain it mostly with Opencode's free models (BigPickle and MiMo), or models from Kimi/Gemma/DeepSeek, via DeepInfra.

In all, so far it costed ~$30 may be. Totally worth it. :)

Some mini-games.

Nothing innovative much, just something I made for myself, and for my kids.

I'm taking this more as a "pricing" change. Like, if you pay 200$ then you can use inference only in these limited scopes. If you want more unrestricted access to inference, use the API token pricing.

Which, seems fine? They could've just not offered the 200$ plan and perhaps nobody would've complained. They tried it, noticed it being unsustainable, so they're trying to remodel it to it _is_ sustainable.

I think the upset is misplaced. :shrug:

New comment by sharat87 in "Httpbun Mixer – build simple test/mock APIs for testing HTTP clients"

sharat87 — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 08:12:09 +0000

Httpbun is an HTTP server similar to httpbin.org, but has a few more bells. One of them is the `/mix` endpoint, and the Mixer tool.

With httpbin, we can't have an endpoint that responds with, say, 400 status code, _and_ an HTML body with a script injection, for when I need to test any HTTP client. This is possible with `/mix`. Here's the Mixer URL for such an endpoint: https://httpbun.com/mixer/s=400/b64=PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgiaW5q....

Very beta and work-in-progress, https://littletools.app/saml-provider.

I intend to work on it further once my kid is… well, a little less of a toddler. :)

Show HN: Httpbun – A companion tool to test HTTP clients

sharat87 — Sat, 02 Dec 2023 10:17:20 +0000

Hi HN! This is a tool I've been using for ~2y for testing HTTP clients, and to inspect requests, _as seen by_ the target server.

It's heavily inspired by httpbin.org, but it has more tools and capabilities.

It's been incredibly helpful in some weird debugging exercises recently, so finally decided to share more broadly.

Haha, fair enough. I wanted to add a choice of formats, and this gives me ideas. Thanks!

Yeah, I wish that were the case too. But supporting all websites is a little hard. I don't intend to stop with just GitHub though, but will be adding more slowly over time.

Hey HN, this is a quick tiny browser extension to change human time displays to inhuman ones, on GitHub.

Changes human time displays to inhuman ones on GitHub. For example, a time displayed as `3 days ago`, will be changed to `31 Oct 2022, 5:34 pm IST`.

The advantage of this, is say if you are viewing a page of releases for example, and all releases show `3 days ago`, since they are all off by a few minutes or hours, it can be really frustrating to have to hover over each of them to find out the exact time of each release.

This applies in commits page, releases page, updates pages etc.

Hey Peter! It's so humbling to see you check out my blog!

Your articles on awk and sed were a huge inspiration to me around 2008-09, and I super-looked up to you. Never have I imagined you would check out my blog one day!

Thank you for all your work dude! Stay awesome.

Thanks. Didn't know the word builtin had a specific meaning in bash, which, seems obvious now in hindsight. Should be fixed soon.
