Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
TL;DR: A React front-end component workshop, a simple version of Storybook.
So around 5 months ago, I needed a tool to preview front-end (React) components whilst I create them for a personal project of mine. There were two options: Storybook or Ladle.
Storybook is the tool everybody knows. I've used it before quite a lot. It's very big, full-fat, supports loads of use-cases, etc.
Ladle comes out of Uber. It's very small, lean, and doesn't support that much. After trying it out for a while, it just gives me a feeling like it's a 20% project to learn some new tech.
So I realised that I wanted something kind of in the middle. Something that's a bit more customizable than Ladle, but something much simpler and less intrusive than Storybook.
This led me to create Exhibitor (https://github.com/samhuk/exhibitor) (https://demo.exhibitor.dev).
I worked on it on-and-off for a couple months, and it ended up being something that I'm quite proud of. It's not perfect, and supports only a fraction of what Storybook does, however for a tool made by 1 engineer vs the 20+ for Storybook, I'm quite happy about it!

Show HN: Exhibitor – Snappy and delightful React component workshop
Exhibitor, a snappy & delightful React component workshop, is GA. My aim is for Exhibitor to be an extremely fast, easy to use, and delightful tool for creating front-end component libraries.
It's been around 2 months since my last mention and quite a tonne has changed.

Show HN: DriftDB is an open source WebSocket back end for real-time apps
Looks interesting. Coincidentally, I've just completed the bulk of work on a distributed Websocket network system to synchronize certain bits of state between multiple clients for my own kind of Storybook tool [0]. How interesting!
This kind of tool is exactly what I would have needed, instead of the approach I've taken which is a bit kludgy, grass-roots, novice-like, etc.
Good work :)

Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?
I was a bit deflated when my submission about https://github.com/samhuk/exhibitor fell through the HN floor-boards.
Think Storybook but simpler, faster, better Typescript support, and uses esbuild by default.
...Is the aim. I'm the sole lead dev working on it at the moment up against the ~10-20 strong team who built most of Storybook, so it's a long road ahead, but it's growing into something I'm quite proud of and happy about.

Show HN: DriftDB is an open source WebSocket back end for real-time apps
Even with NATS jetstream, NATS has a focus on service communication.
"It supports websockets" and "qos" does not mean it will work robustly with web apps if nobody uses NATS for that use case. See https://github.com/nats-io/nats.ws/issues/172 for an example issue. If NATS is not used for websockets in browsers, it will have a mine field of issues to fix. And what about all the other clients (mobile, mobile web)? Sure there may be a NATS client library for it, but it won't handle user connectivity issues, because again it's aimed at service communication where the network is great.
People are using NATS in kubernetes, not web browsers.
