Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've ever built?
My most impactful project was definitely NoCoin [0], the first web miner blocker. Back when Monero miners started appearing and sneakily mining on pages, like The Pirate Bay for example, I decided to throw together a browser extension that would simply block requests to the resources that hosted these mining scripts. The project was in no way a technical achievement, it was simply intercepting requests and blocking them based on a list. I could have very well added the resources to some other project like uBlock origin. But it got traction, ended up in the press (WIRED, Motherboard, Gizmodo) and ultimately started being integrated within browsers (Opera was first) and most of the popular ad blockers. The project lost its relevance as everyone else was doing it better and maintaining the list of blocked resources was too time consuming for me. Nevertheless, the goal was achieved, which was to "get rid" of crypto mining on the web. The mission got carried by bigger actors, which brings me more satisfaction than the popularity of the project.
Another impactful project of mine was also a browser extension. Internal tool that started as a lunch time project to make my team's life easier. Can't go in detail on that one, but basically they liked it and start suggesting improvements. So did a department that was working with us. And bit by bit, it became a really useful tool that became standard in these departments. Last I heard, the tool is now deployed company-wide. Crazy to think it started just from some lunch time hacking :-)

Nonprofit Websites Are Full of Trackers. That Should Change.
Which in of itself is not a huge dealbreaker since the code is open source and can be found Here, unfortunately after reading their GitHub they are no longer supporting the extension (which makes sense since browsers can stop most mining activity nowadays)

Genuine tip, lots of those sites use your computer to mine bitcoin. If you download a browser extension like No Coin, the videos load a lot faster. Can't verify it for every site, but when it works, it works.

Is there a good way to run native mobile app GUI tests with GitHub Actions?
A VM/container emulator like anbox, waydroid, (or all of ChromeOS Flex in KVM) in a GitHub Action is probably enough to run GUI tests?

Spin 1.0 — The Developer Tool for Serverless WebAssembly
Since we can distribute Spin applications using popular registry services, we can also take advantage of ecosystem tools such as Sigstore and Cosign, which address the software supply chain issue by signing and verifying applications using Sigstore's new keyless signatures (using OIDC identity tokens from providers such as GitHub).

Build and sign application containers
With containers being the heart of Cloud Native application development, it has become even more critical to ensure the integrity of the containers. One of the ways to do this to sign and verify the container images.sigstore is a open source project that empowers software developers to securely sign the container images.

https://sigstore.dev - although its really not true to say I built it. I started it off, but very quickly smarter folks then me jumped on board and really took it to all sorts of new directions.

Container Images for the Cloud Native Era
Powered by Wolfi, Chainguard Images are a suite of distroless images that consolidate the base features of the Wolfi undistro into end-user container images that can be integrated into existing workflows. Chainguard Images are fully declarative and reproducible, and include SBOMs that cover all image dependencies. In addition, Chainguard Images are signed via Sigstore, which attests the provenance of all artifacts. All images and corresponding signatures, as well as their SBOMs, are hosted in Chainguard's OCI registry cgr.dev.
