Ask HN: Is Hacker News the same as it was in the 2010s, if not then why?
Reading what Paul Graham said in "What I've Learned from Hacker News" (2009) it seems like it was a very harsh mockery of today. In the top feed there are news about AMD, Toyota, Minecraft updates, sometimes an article slips through, for example, about neural networks for juniors. It seems strange to me, yes, HN has "news" in the name, but initially this is a place where you come to share experience for free and get it, give life to good authors. No need to say this prob
Show HN: Rust crate for artisanally crafted CLIs, TUIs, and text-based IO
I recently built and open sourced iocraft, a new Rust crate for TUIs. It allows you to build portable and beautiful looking TUIs (or even just simple printouts) using a declarative, React-like syntax.<p>I think it hits a sweet spot that no previously existing TUI library for Rust did, and for anyone familiar with React or SwiftUI, the API should feel right at home. Take a look, give it a try, and let me what you think!

Ask HN: What should we call the pattern of polling and rebuilding a static site?
Here’s the pattern:1. I have a static site.2. A GitHub Actions workflow periodically polls a remote source for changes.3. When a change is detected, the workflow updates a specific page or content in the site.4. The entire site is rebuilt and redeployed.This involves a full rebuild and redeployment whenever changes are detected. It can be quite handy for creating a read-only dynamic page within a static site. However, it’s hard to discuss it without a name for the pattern.It’s not Incremental St
Show HN: Lopus AI (YC W25)
Hi HN,We’re Aamish & Danylo, the Lopus AI team, building a generative UI solution that changes how people navigate modern websites.
