Show HN: Open-Source Website Builder for Gumroad Products

toughyear — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 10:33:38 +0000

Hi! This is a small project I did to try out Rails.

I felt there was no easy way to create one-off websites to promote your products on Gumroad. So created website builder, that syncs product details from your Gumroad account and gives you a customizable sub-domain.

There are definitely some rough edges in the product, more of a POC. Built using React and Ruby on Rails.

if your idea can be morphed into non-profit one, YC does fund it - but they suggest for charging small fee for your service or product. Worth checking out in that case.

Ask HN: What is the "Ruby on Rails" of the Node world?

toughyear — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 08:12:01 +0000

I recently started using Rails for a project and it is such a breeze to get the basics setup quickly. DB, CRUD APIs, and everything. I am curious if there is anything similar to it for Node runtime.

Agreed but I didn't want people to go through auth. Hopefully the hard-limit from OpenAI would kick in.

toughyear — Tue, 16 May 2023 06:46:39 +0000

Year is 2021. My second year at university had just ended and I was seeing people all around me getting cool foreign internships, cracking GSoC, getting thesis opportunities in reputed universities, or running a startup. I had none. Following advice from one of my close friends, I started applying. This is how it went with Deepmind.

HN Hug of Death, but at least the UI is much cleaner. TailwindCSS has become the go to CSS framework for developers to quickly ship decent looking products.

interesting. If I understand correctly, there is no way we can be certain that the result will be seamless right? Maybe you can detect hard continuous edge on the tile borders and in such cases, you can cross-fade.

The website is well crafted. Anyone has a list of more such non-generic sites with content by developers?

Show HN: Use GitHub as a Free CDN

toughyear — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 07:41:36 +0000

What this is?

a small side project called GaaC that allows you to use Github As a CDN. It:

- is free and familiar. Everything stored in your separate repo. - has ease of use. Connect to your Github repo and start uploading files with drag and drop. You can also delete or modify them as needed. No manual commits required. - It comes with a search + preview UI, so you can quickly find the files you need.

I've found this to be a time-saver for my own projects, and I hope it can help you as well.

Why? As someone who frequently (somewhat) writes blogs, build toy websites or projects, I need to manage a lot of images and static files.

Since I use markdown, to refer to an image, I have to commit it and then refer locally. But what if I need to refer it somewhere else too? Same goes for when I used CMS. Hosting images on a CMS is an issue when you decide to migrate. I found using a GitHub repo to store static files strikes a good balance of accessibility and reliability.

Let me know what you think!

Ask HN: How to connect with founders of early stage startups?

toughyear — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 06:56:59 +0000

I was curious if there is a way to find about promising founders who are working on a new project/startup that does not have any significant online footprint yet.

In this context, for me it is not a "very" early stage startup if I can read about it on AngelList or they have more than just a landing page.

There can be many signals for promising founders like their previous jobs or ventures or experience in that domain.

I believe it is easier for people who already know these founders as friends or colleagues but for others, not so much.

For example - Linear App in 2019 or Vercel in 2015 and such.
