  • ngrok

    Unified ingress for developers

    • Project mention: Portr – open-source ngrok alternative designed for teams | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-02

    Thanks for the history. I maintain this list[0], and wasn't aware of OG localtunnel, likely because there's a somewhat newer and now more popular project with the same name[1]. You appear to be correct on timing. Here's the earliest commits on GitHub for each of the projects:

    OG localtunnel (2010): https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel/tree/fb82920d9d3e538...

    Other localtunnel (2012): https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/tree/93d62b9dbb9f...

    ngrok (2012): https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/tree/8f4795ecac7f92...

    I'll see that OG localtunnel gets added to the list for posterity.

  • hub

    A command-line tool that makes git easier to use with GitHub.

    • Project mention: GitHub Discussion about the recent feed changes becomes 3rd most upvoted ever | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-11

    Use hub here via CLI and forget the gui https://hub.github.com/

  • delve

    Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language.

    • Project mention: The worst thing about Jenkins is that it works | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-03

    At a recent job, we had slightly different containers for local dev; our backend containers (for a Go app) had Air [1] installed for live reloading, plus Delve [2] running inside the container for VS Code's debugger to connect to. We also had a frontend container for local dev, which didn't get deployed as a container, just as static files.

  • gin-vue-admin

    🚀Vite+Vue3+Gin的开发基础平台，支持TS和JS混用。它集成了JWT鉴权、权限管理、动态路由、显隐可控组件、分页封装、多点登录拦截、资源权限、上传下载、代码生成器、表单生成器和可配置的导入导出等开发必备功能。

  • excelize

    Go language library for reading and writing Microsoft Excel™ (XLAM / XLSM / XLSX / XLTM / XLTX) spreadsheets

    • Project mention: Recommend a powerful excel processing library, @zurmokeeper/exceljs, which supports encryption and decryption of xlsx files and flexible setting of multiple table headers when exporting, etc. | /r/node | 2023-07-01

    Then I found out that WPS only supports ecma376 standard encrytion for xlsx files. Then I referred to the official documentation and libraries in other languages, such as msoffcrypto-tool written in python. msoffcrypto-tool) and go's excelize. Since I don't know much about encryption and decryption, the process of implementation is also a bit of a twist.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • ctop

    Top-like interface for container metrics

    • Project mention: Lazydocker | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-18

    This does remind me of ctop as well: https://github.com/bcicen/ctop

    It also let's you look at containers, resource usage graphs, their logs and even do some actions through a TUI.

  • GJSON

    Get JSON values quickly - JSON parser for Go

    • Project mention: Rob Pike: Gobs of data (2011) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-04

    Someone made a benchmark of serialization libraries in go [1], and I was surprised to see gobs is one of the slowest ones, specially for decoding. I suspect part of the reason is that the API doesn't not allow reusing decoders [2]. From my explorations it seems like both JSON [3], message-pack [4] and CBOR [5] are better alternatives.

    By the way, in Go there are a like a million JSON encoders because a lot of things in the std library are not really coded for maximum performance but more for easy of usage, it seems. Perhaps this is the right balance for certain things (ex: the http library, see [6]).

    There are also a bunch of libraries that allow you to modify a JSON file "in place", without having to fully deserialize into structs (ex: GJSON/SJSON [7] [8]). This sounds very convenient and more efficient that fully de/serializing if we just need to change the data a little.

    • Project mention: Autenticação com Golang e AWS Cognito | dev.to | 2024-02-05

    Primeiro vamos carregar nossas envs com o pacote godotenv, depois iniciamos nosso cognito client, passando o COGNITO_CLIENT_ID, que pegamos anteriormente, depois iniciamos o gin e criamos um server, isso é o suficiente.

  • kopia

    Cross-platform backup tool for Windows, macOS & Linux with fast, incremental backups, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression and data deduplication. CLI and GUI included.

    • Project mention: DwarFS – The Deduplicating Warp-Speed Advanced Read-Only File System | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-11

    I think Kopia would be great for your use case

    https://kopia.io/

    It has a great system to snapshot files but only store data if it's changed. I use it in an environment where I can't use something like zfs to snapshot data because I don't have the ability to make decisions about what filesystem we're using. It's been amazing, love it so much!
