promises VS Nullboard

Night Patrol - https://github.com/jahed/night-patrol

I got tired of passing flags to Nightwatch to filter tests and looking through results to re-run failures. So I made an interactive CLI for all of that. I stopped using this once I moved to Cypress but even with Cypress' web interface, I feel something like Night Patrol would be a lot more productive.

Firebase Rules - https://github.com/jahed/firebase-rules

I didn't like how Firebase's RTDB rules were expressions in JSON strings so I built a library to build them using a lisp-like syntax to compose and re-use rules. Firebase also has its own rules language (Bolt) but I'd rather not learn and maintain yet another tool-specific language.

Promises - https://github.com/jahed/promises

This isn't a complete solution yet, I didn't get time to refine the API. But I really prefer using Promises as result types (a.k.a. either, left/right) rather than using async/await/try/catch. It's so much more powerful to write code in a way that doesn't care if your functions are async or sync. Again, kind of like a lisp, there's also power in not being tied to a language's keywords and being able to provide a more tailored vocabulary.

Hello, HN! I'd like to introduce you to nbagent[0], an open-source alternative backup agent for Nullboard[1] for Unix systems. If you, like me, are a fan of Nullboard's simplicity and you've been looking for an easy way to have your data backed up, check it out.

I'd love to hear your feedback on nbagent. Please feel free to leave comments, suggestions, or questions below.

Surprisingly no one has mentioned nullboard (https://nullboard.io/preview) yet. Just a single file JSON to carry around the entire board.

Nullboard maybe?

minimalist kanban board, without fancy tagging/time tracking/... features. Every game has a column, and notes are player names. nullboard would be perfect if it wasn't local only;

Nullboard - cool simple project, no bug tracking

Nullboard - Kanban board with dark mode, localStorage, and thoughtful UI

I use and like https://nullboard.io/preview nullboard which runs in the browser. Because it uses local data, you need to save it or the data is lost when you close the browser window.
