Project mention: Show HN: Game Bub – open-source FPGA retro emulation handheld | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-12
Thanks, it's generated with Hugo using the https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod theme.
However, I made some modifications to the theme for the first time recently, and learned that I absolutely hate Hugo's templating language. I might switch away at some point in the future (perhaps to https://github.com/getzola/zola -- the templating is Jinja2-esque).

Since our site is a static site, we need to rely on external services to provide a comment system. The most famous one is Disqus. However, its free plan forces use to show a lot of ADs to the users, which I dont like. So I chose giscus, which uses GitHub Discussions as the storage place for comments. The only downside is that it doesnt allow users to log in and comment with Google or social media accounts like Disqus does, but since my articles are mostly technical, people reading them are likely to have a GitHub account, so its not a big issue.

Project mention: Show HN: BeBlob – A Gitlab-Powered Comment Section for Static Websites | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-19
Hi everyone!
I'm happy to introduce BeBlob, an open-source widget that adds a comment section to any static or dynamic website—without needing a dedicated backend—by leveraging GitLab issues. Inspired by my personal journey hosting my blog (belev.me) on GitLab Pages and noticing existing GitHub-backed solutions like utterances (https://github.com/utterance/utterances) and giscus (https://laymonage.com/posts/giscus), I wanted to create a similar tool for GitLab users.
BeBlob automatically maps each webpage to a GitLab issue and uses GitLab OAuth for user authentication. It supports emoji reactions, markdown comments with live preview, code-highlighting and a set of customizable themes—four in total—that match the Hexo Cactus (https://probberechts.github.io/hexo-theme-cactus/) theme I use on my blog.
The solution is far from polished, but I wanted to get it out there and receive feedback from real users as early as possible. I’ve already integrated it into my personal blog, so I’m the first real user!

Using Rust in Non-Rust Servers to Improve Performance (https://github.com/pretzelhammer/rust-blog/blob/master/posts/rust-in-non-rust-servers.md) by Pretzelhammer

For this application, the foundation is built on Next.js, TailwindCSS, and Shadcn UI. The idea for the project came from a talk by Tejas Kumar, where he developed a movie recommendation system using Datastax. Our tech stack, however, draws significant inspiration from the book inventory project by Lee Robinson.
