Create a Carousel with Progress Indicators using Tailwind and Next.js
In the second part of this tutorial, we've created a carousel with progress indicators using Tailwind CSS and Next.js. We've also learned how to make the component reusable across our entire application. If you want to see how to build a similar component with Alpine.js or Next.js, I recommend checking out the links below. We also recommend checking out our Tailwind templates if you're looking for similar high-quality components, pre-built, and professionally crafted by us.

Create a Carousel with Progress Indicators using Tailwind and Alpine.js
In this tutorial, we've seen how to make the most of Alpine.js to create an image carousel with progress indicators. Alpine.js's logic allowed us to build a modular carousel element, just like we would with React or Vue. If you found this tutorial helpful, make sure to take a look at our Tailwind HTML templates. They are all crafted using this incredible framework!

Creating a Tooltip-like Testimonial with Tailwind and Alpine.js
This tutorial is yet another demonstration of how powerful and versatile the Tailwind CSS + Alpine.js combo is. With just a few lines of code - all within the HTML document! - we have created an interactive, accessible, and responsive component. If you've found this tutorial useful, we recommend checking out our HTML templates built with Tailwind, all designed with Alpine.js. Feel free to experiment further, customize the component to suit your needs, and explore additional features that Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js have to offer. Happy coding!

Making a Text Scramble Animation with JavaScript
The text scramble effect is a cool animation that rapidly unveils text by randomly changing characters - just like those scenes in movies where hackers decode strings of text! Inspired by Evervault's blog, we'll make a navigation menu with that kind of effect when you click on links. Plus, we'll give you both light and dark versions of the menu, so you can integrate this example into any of our Tailwind templates.

Create a Gradient Text Reveal on Scroll with Tailwind CSS and JS
If you want your website to stand out from the others, you need to create interesting and engaging experiences. That's why we've been taking a more experimental approach in our latest tutorials. We hope you're enjoying this fresh perspective! Oh, and tell us if you'd like to see something similar in one of our Tailwind templates.

Building an Expandable Header with Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js
In this tutorial, we saw how easy it is to create an expandable header component using Alpine.js - without writing a single line of JavaScript, and using a CSS-only approach for animating the menu height. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and let us know if you want to see this component integrated into one our Tailwind templates!

TIL there are apps that can control your monitor without touching the buttons on it
There are some other command line based open-source alternatives as well, like ddctl and m1ddc - the former only works on Intel, the latter on M1 Macs (M2 Pro and HDMI is not supported). Lunar has great CLI support as well for those who want a command-line based solution.

Ask HN: Best tips for reducing eyestrain while coding with astigmatism?
I received the same diagnostic in 2017, which coincided with the year I got my first external monitor for my MacBook. Headaches and eye pain became a more common occurence in the first weeks, until I stumbled upon ddcctl [0] and the fact that monitor brightness can be changed from the OS.
That's when I developed the first version of Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) to adapt brightness automatically throughout the day based on the sun position in the sky. (reading the light sensor was not possible at the time)
That combined with Night Shift (macOS native version of f.lux) fixed most of my problems.
I also tried blue light filter glasses but the only effect they had was removing more money from my savings. I feel like this is just modern day snake oil for computer workers.
In the end, what fixed all of my problems was a LASIK [1] operation (well actually PRK because I had only a small abberation). I still recommend this to all my friends and relatives who are always complaining about their vision. It did change my life.
I still cringe when someone turns on an overhead lightbulb though, I never use those in my home. Turns out this wasn't my astigmatism, it's just that most LED bulbs are simply too bright single point lights.
I fit my home with TRADfri warm light lamps hidden behind sofa/door/desk [2], WLED-powered [3] LED strips and simple string lights (like you can see in the front page video on https://lowtechguys.com/volum/)

Ask HN: What is the best income stream you have created till date?
macOS apps which I share at https://lowtechguys.com/ bring me $7k/month on average at the moment, and it keeps growing.
It started in 2017 when I shared the first free and open source version of Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/), an app for controlling monitors.
At that time, there was only a command line for doing this stuff (https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl) and I wanted a more visual way of changing the brightness. So I learned Swift, learned how to bridge the ddcctl C code and call it from Swift, then made a rough interface and published it: https://www.producthunt.com/products/lunar#lunar-5
It turned out people did have a need for this and asked if they could donate. I set up a Buy me a Coffee page and in 4 years collected about $5k in donations. That's a lot of money for a Romanian.
When Apple Silicon appeared, Lunar didn't work anymore because the whole hardware arrangement and drivers were different, and there was no documentation on how to send I²C data. I took the plunge and quit my stressful job, bought an M1 MacBook and reverse engineered the I²C communication: https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/journey-to-ddc-on-m1-macs/
Then published Lunar 4 as a Free version with a Pro paid upgrade. I was reluctant with this, didn't think anyone would buy it, but to this day I'm able to be unemployed and put my ideas into practice because of it.

Not really sure if ddcctl could help or is related to ddcutil, but in all case I had no chance with it.

HDMI Firewall
No worries! The same sentiment is what keeps me enthusiastic about programming day after day :)
So computer monitors have support for a communication protocol called Display Data Channel which is normally used by the host (Mac, PC) to get info about supported resolutions, frame rates, signal timing etc.
On top of that, a command interface has been created called MCCS or Monitor Control Command Set [1] which allows changing brightness, volume, input and a ton of other aspects of the monitor, by sending specific bytes through the cable. That cable can be HDMI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, VGA, DVI. It doesn’t matter, as long as it has dedicated wires to carry the I2C signal.
I2C is the 2-wire communication protocol used by DDC, and it basically defines things like “a pulse of 5V (volts) of x milliseconds followed by 0V of y milliseconds means the 0 bit. The 1 bit is represented by a pulse of 5V of 2x milliseconds”. It’s a bit more complex than that, also defining TCP-like features with data frames and ACK packets, but you get the idea. It’s something that both devices agree on so that they can send raw bytes using 5 volt pulses.
I’ve created Lunar as an adaptive brightness app for macOS after finding out about a little CLI called ddcctl: https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl
That’s where I learned how DDC packets look like, where to place the payload (brightness value between 0 and 100, input ID, etc) and how to write that to the monitor using the macOS I2C APIs.
When Apple Silicon came out, none of that was possible anymore so I had to go looking around kernel assembly and private macOS frameworks for “the Apple Silicon way” of writing data through I2C.
If you’re also curious how I learned that, it’s a very cool domain called “reverse engineering” and I learned it while working as a Malware Researcher at Bitdefender. A bit hard to get started, but so many gems to discover once you know how to open binaries in IDA/Hopper and look around their disassembled code.
