Ask HN: What Are You Working On?
None are ready for the public yet, but all in the hopper or under serious consideration:
- Personal site/blog with a bunch of algorithmically generated art and other fun stuff, built on Node/Preact but progressively enhanced/almost completely JS-free at runtime. Motivation for the build approach is that I’m on the low/no client JS static site bandwagon but I quite like the DX of JSX components and CSS-in-JS.
- I’m using a few excellent existing tools[1][2] for said site which unfortunately aren’t designed to work well together, so I have a variety of wrapper tooling that makes them live peacefully together. I’m also developing a bunch of other build-stage tools for my use cases. I plan to open source (or hopefully contribute back) all of that as soon as I’m satisfied with their quality.
- A set libraries for building declarative, type safe, automatically validated/documented service API boundaries (HTTP/REST to start, but I also plan to support other transport protocols) — think io-ts[3] type interfaces but you get swagger docs for free in a transport-agnostic interface. I’ve built this kind of thing before, it was wildly successful in real world use, but it’s proprietary to a previous employer and I’m starting over with all the stuff I learned in hindsight.
- A “nag me” app that’s basically “reading list” plus “reminders” with minimal config, eg “nag me soon” or “nag me after a while”. My personal use case is I frequently screenshot/text myself/etc stuff I want to look at later (usually on phone but need a computer to dive in), then it just goes down the memory hole. I’ve tried setting reminders but it’s often too much fuss, and I’m far too ADHD to use a passive list.
- Exploring building yet another FE build tool/bundler that’s explicitly multi-stage/sequential with static input/output validation, per-step/time travel debugging. Motivation is that existing tools are just a big ball of config magic and totally inscrutable. I’d likely wrap existing build tools because their set of responsibilities isn’t my motivation and I don’t want to introduce that much more new API surface area to weary FE devs.

The Great Suspender once again contains malware
Happened in (2021)[https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1...], and then a few others have forked the extension and tried to revive it, only to eventually sell to nefarious owners or sell user data themselves

Great suspender contains malware, what to do next?
I went to github and downloaded the last known "good version, installed it manually."

People often recommend open source apps for malware free apps. But has there ever been a case where a *popular* open source project was found to be malicious after some time?

> TLDR: The old maintainer appears to have sold the extension to parties unknown, who have malicious intent to exploit the users of this extension in advertising fraud, tracking, and more. In v7.1.8 of the extension (published to the web store but NOT to GitHub), arbitrary code was executed from a remote server, which appeared to be used to commit a variety of tracking and fraud actions. After Microsoft removed it from Edge for malware, v7.1.9 was created without this code: that has been the code distributed by the web store since November, and it does not appear to load the compromised script. However, the malicious maintainer remains in control, however, and can introduce an update at any time. It further appears that, while v7.1.9 was what was listed on the store, those who had the hostile v7.1.8 installed did NOT automatically receive the malware-removing update, and continued running the hostile code until Google force-disabled the extension.

Is the SingleFile extension flagged as high risk by ChromeStats (link), just because of the nature of it saving your page ?
For what it is worth, you may have heard of the Great Suspender incident (https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263). It was used by millions, and was also open source on GitHub, but it could still end up becoming malicious.

Behold the Android-Windows ecosystem.
Long ass comment: That is not true for the most part. While the increased amount of individuals working of an OSS project may lead to better vulnerability detection according to both parties of the closed-source/proprietary debate, it doesn't lead to a massively more secure software overall. Not all reviewers have the similar experience or expertise and, because of it, not everyone will be able to review, identify or patch any flaws or vulnerability of a specific software since it may require other skills beyond just basic programming skills such as network or cryptographic skills. [1] Some even suggested that the large number of users contributing to the project can lead people "into a false sense of security." [2] Overall, some papers conclude that being an open source software or a proprietary software isn't an important factor for security and suggest considering other factors, such as the particular vendor/maintainer that controls the entire process. [3] After all, what if the maintainer decides to sabotage their own code? What if the project was sold to another maintainer for its own shaddy needs?

How much RAM does a react developer require in 2021/22?
If you're referring to The Great Suspender, that extension was bought by an advertising company earlier this year. I'm using the last good version (github) though.
