Is there a firefox send alternative that can work on the cloudflare infra? I would like a low cost, deploy and forget service to send files to people

I use Lulu on my mac. Is it good enough (compared to LittleSnitch)?

I mean this is not the first time a YC company has stolen an open source project.

Is this the "John Graham-Cumming", ex-CTO of cloudflare?

Them maintaining a page of gotchas is a really cool idea - https://immich.app/cursed-knowledge

It looks like a very cool product. Though it's too expensive for a regular guy who treats the cooking as a chore.

Show HN: SendBetter – Dynamic image rendering API (20x cheaper)

your_challenger — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 13:27:22 +0000

I built SendBetter, an API for generating dynamic images.

The idea: define variables (text, images), design once in our editor, and programmatically render personalized visuals.

Why I made it:

* Existing tools are expensive ($49 for 1k images → $0.049 per image) * SendBetter starts at $0.002 per image * Better, modern editor * Free 1000 credits on sign up * One-time credit packs for non-frequent users.

Use cases: Personalized emails and WhatsApp, OG images, social media posts, certificates, marketing campaigns, etc.

Check it out here: https://sendbetter.co

Here is a quick video I recording using the product: https://youtu.be/QS_eVaMLt-I

Feedback appreciated

Do you use the WhatsApp cloud API? Isn't that expensive for a $3/yr price?

But isn't the OP talking about local network while Jean-Baptiste Kempf is talking about the internet?

`sudo rm -rf /` requires you to be a superuser or provide a password, whereas running `wsl --unregister` does not require elevated privileges.

WSL is a landmine of bad design. I lost all my data once, and that incident made me switch to a Mac.

Here's how you can lose all your data - and Microsoft engineers won’t care: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8992 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/9830 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/9049#issuecomment-26...

Not everyone wants to be a CEO. Some people just wanna write some good code and contribute to the world.

Very cool. This can also be used for LLM cost estimation. Basically any cost estimation I suppose. I use cloudflare workers a lot and have a few workers running for a variable amount of time. This could be useful to calculate a ball park figure of my infra cost. Thank you!

This is amazing! We need more automation in the world.

But how do they train the cow to stand in line to get milked? Why would a cow patiently wait in line to be milked?

If someone feels threatened by "liberal governance" and "religious diversity", that says more about them than about Kerala.

HN is great because discussions stand on their merit, not on downvotes. You using a throwaway account just to push an agenda proves the point.

Why is it "controversial" to have a left leaning government and a significant population of Christians or Muslims? Yes, Kerala had early "true" communism (land reforms, nokku kooli) but since then it has just been a left leaning, liberal government. Also answer why you find it controversial for it to have other religions than Hinduism.

Well, we know who this guy is. Something good is said about Kerala and he has to jump in to bring it down.
