I like this concept and it definitely fits current AI era. There’s still a lot of room for humans to clean up the kind of sloppy, AI-ish design that tools tend to spit out today. I’m sure that will keep improving, but for now you still need a human hand on it.

I get that this tool is aimed at designers, but depending on how the features evolve I think it could pull in a lot more indie devs and similar folks too.

I built an open-source Amazon Cognito emulator for local development.

In my work, I always had to connect to a dev Cognito instance on AWS for local development. Services like S3 have MinIO/RustFS, DynamoDB has dynamo-local but Cognito didn't have a good free local alternative. So I built one.

New comment by unvalley in "How Costco Won in Japan (2025)"

unvalley — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 03:08:36 +0000

I’m Japanese and I’ve lived in a town with a Costco. The part-time pay being a bit higher is nice, but because Costco stores are usually out in the middle of nowhere, they’re not somewhere you casually commute to. So honestly, it doesn’t really feel like they’re raising local wages in any visible way.

I like this kind of idea. Do you require RSS for the listed blogs? curious about the behind.

Great concept! Multi language support maybe good for spreading.

Anthropic’s models have almost certainly gorged on an enormous amount of OSS, and if they think they can settle that debt with only six months of perks for the maintainers who’ve kept that ecosystem alive, it comes across as pretty arrogant.

Show HN: Rt – An interactive CLI for task runners (Make, just, and others)

unvalley — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 13:12:19 +0000

`rt` is a small CLI that lets us run tasks interactively, even when each project uses a different task runner (Makefile, Justfile, Taskfile, cargo-make, etc.).

This saves us from remembering the right command every time. I don't like writing shell script anyway, and couldn’t really find an existing tool that does this.

This app is similar in concept (but Markdown): https://github.com/unvalley/ephe

I wanted to create a catchy, attention-grabbing phrase:) This app is meant to feel like a single sheet of paper on our desk where we can write in Markdown.

Thank you! I like how it makes Zettelkasten-style organization easy. For this ephe.app though, I intentionally limited it to a single page as you know. A deliberate choice not to expand. I’m looking forward to yours!

Thank you! I’ll keep improving it.

I enjoy writing on paper too. I use the word “paper” when describing this app though honestly, I did hesitate. That said, for people like me, typing can actually be a way to clear noise. If we can combine the freedom of physical paper with the flexibility of software that’s the ideal I’m chasing.

Thank you! I checked you app Ensō, it's awesome. I really like this kind of app. Yeah I need to polish the "system" button. Currently, it should appear after writing texts within 1 sec. I’d love to chat and will reach out!

Interesting! Actually I use VSCode to be honest, but wanna try that out.

Thank you for your question. If Obsidian can do the same, that works. But I don’t think I need past tasks saved as documents. Personally, I don’t want to manage TODOs in my PKM. I prefer to keep app responsibilities separate. (For example, I don't like todo apps that integrate calendars)
