Show HN: An API to store balances and transactions
13 by andriosr | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone! I'm Rob and I want to share what I've built - a solid ledger behind simple API: https://decimals.app The ledger is a key piece of any financial system and is easy to get the design wrong, resulting in troubles for making sure money movements are adding up. I took a lot of inspiration from good designs from Square, Uber, and others for the scalability and security aspects. And on the usability side, I applied many concepts from the Ledger CLI, making it very easy to use. I'm really happy I get to show this to you all, thank you for reading about it! Please let me know your thoughts and questions in the comments. [1] https://ift.tt/2BeYyRr [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN6mhI5hFt4 [3] https://ift.tt/35EKssz [5] https://ift.tt/3ccWImg

Show HN: To Listen to Any Page Prefix the URL with Playthis.link
3 by soheil | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I was tired of having to constantly scramble to find a podcast I want to listen to when going for a walk or just running on the treadmill. I, however, usually have an abundance of blog posts or articles around the web that I'd like to read. The problem is walking is not very conducive to reading. So I made this quick and dirty site that pretty much works anywhere, no app install, no copy paste, no nothing. Just add the domain playthis.link before any URL in your browser and hit enter. It will redirect to an audio file that automatically starts playing. You don't need to click a 2nd button to play the file either. It just starts reading the text right away. You can do this on your phone and just pick it up and go for a hike. Example: Amazing blog post: https://ift.tt/2q6fiql Audio version: https://ift.tt/36AgtTj

Show HN: Airspace – async communication for remote teams
3 by illdave | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I've been working on Airspace: https://tryairspace.com It emails your team once each day (at the start of their working day, in their timezone) to ask what they're working on. Then it keeps all the answers in one place for everyone on the team to see. Team members can also discuss work (organised by projects), and all of these discussions are async. Real-time chat has its place, but I personally find it quite interruptive and can pull my focus away from deep work. I built Airspace to help remote teams work on their schedule, and to give them the freedom that comes with having long stretches of uninterrupted, focused time. I'd love to know what you think.

Show HN: Master SSH tunneling in an interactive lab
3 by opsdisk | 0 comments on Hacker News.
A little over a year ago I gave away over 4,600 copies of my intro to SSH tunneling book, The Cyber Plumber's Handbook, for free over a 48 hour period to the awesome folks here on Hacker News (https://ift.tt/2y2jX0F). Since then, I've been getting a lot of feedback about creating an interactive lab where SSH tunneling and port redirection techniques can be practiced in real scenarios. With a bit more time during the quarantine, I finally found the time to launch the lab portion. For the HN family, I'm offering the book and 2 weeks of lab time for 50% off ($19.99) with this Gumroad link through May 30: https://ift.tt/2zss8aG Why learn SSH tunneling? SSH tunneling is a skill you can use for the rest of your IT career. SSH tunneling and port redirection are skills that can be applied in any information technology discipline, so it does not matter if you are a network engineer, red teamer, penetration tester, developer or something in between. That being said, the examples tend to skew towards pairing tunneling techniques with penetration testing tools (including Metasploit). Lab Overview Four jump boxes provide the Internet facing portion of the lab. However, the fun really starts when you start leveraging tunneling techniques to reach the internal side of the network to access services such as Secure SHell (SSH), Web, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). The Linux and Windows targets are also running vulnerable services that can be exploited for the true tunneling ninjas. Each of the exercises has a brief description and solution to assist you in the event you get stuck. Happy Tunneling! Brennon

Show HN: Discover high-quality articles,videos and more with human-curated lists
4 by mtolga | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone, Me and my friend were frustrated with garbage that we ran across on our search results and on the web. More than ever people are sharing articles, blog posts or videos on the web and parts of the web became a big garbage. So, we created Jooseph as a place where you can discover and share curated lists of high-quality articles, talks, podcasts and more. Also, we builded an extension to organize pile of tabs in your browsers. Basically you can create different collections in Jooseph to store or share your lists on Jooseph. (e.g. you can create a list about Best Golang Resources and make it private/public, you can add any link from your browser with the extension) I don’t know if it’s sounds good to you. We have shared here, a couple times. I am sorry if I am being spammy. But I wonder, would you be interested in using this kind of product and keeping closely in touch with us to solve your problem. (If you have this problem) You can take a look at from here: www.jooseph.com

Launch HN: Satchel (YC S18) – Guides to the Best SaaS Tools
11 by Fission | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN! I'm Andrew, one of the makers of Satchel. ( https://satchel.com/ ). We write SaaS buying guides. We vigorously test products in different SaaS categories, write reports about our findings, and then try to identify the best product for a typical early-stage startup. Along the way, we uncover and share info that should be obvious (but isn't), and point out any caveats and pitfalls you might encounter. We're like The Wirecutter / Consumer Reports for SaaS, minus the affiliate links / paywall (more on this later). There's a real information problem in B2B software. Without prior experience, it's hard to know how to evaluate a product, figure out what differentiates it, learn all relevant background, and compare against alternatives. Many times, it's difficult even to decipher what exactly a product does. As a buyer, you're often in the position of having to make a high-quality decision on something you're far from being an expert on. If you're anything like me, you often don't even know what you don't know. There are plenty of crowd-sourced review sites out there, but they usually all end up filled with 5-star reviews that boil down to "I used X [and only X ] and it was good." There is also an abundance of startup tool lists and directories, yet the problem is less about seeing what tools are out there and more about figuring out which one to use. We're taking a different path, one that others have tended to avoid. We do hands-on testing and write in-depth long-form for each category of tools (with plenty of summaries to make it useful even when skimming), which can't be replaced with code (even though we, as engineers, sincerely wish that weren't the case). We're not reliant on vendors, so we can say what we actually think about a product, both upsides and downsides, instead of being pressured to normalize everything we say around "pretty good." I see us as fundamentally helping you do something akin to time/information arbitrage. If lots of startups are each spending, say, ten hours doing the exact same research and testing, why doesn't someone spend 100 hours doing that research and then freely distribute the results? Everyone would save time yet get higher quality information. Right now, we have three longform guides geared towards startups just starting out: store of money ( https://ift.tt/2AGL4Tr ), incorporation service ( https://ift.tt/2XafdSN ), and web analytics ( https://ift.tt/3cNBzzV ). We have preliminary results (but not full writeups) for a lot more categories at https://ift.tt/2LGOF6b . We don't expect to support ourselves financially in the same way as The Wirecutter (affiliate program) or Consumer Reports (paywall). Affiliate programs are mostly conflict-of-interest-free when rates are standardized across products (e.g. via Amazon for consumer goods), but are a lot harder to execute properly in a fragmented market like B2B software's. I'm also personally opposed to paywalling our work (I spent a lot of my formative years as a bio researcher, and I'd sincerely claim that open-access was a saving grace). Instead, we think there are ways we can increase the efficiency of the SaaS procurement/purchasing process, and intend to monetize there based on value-add. We would love to hear your feedback and your experiences with B2B software. I'm personally excited to be sharing this with HN, and I'll be here to answer any and all questions you want to throw my way!

Show HN: Hiring DevOps and SREs – testing troubleshooting live
4 by hkh | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN We are launching our 3rd startup. Our 1st was a PhD project turned into a startup which simulated public cloud costs before adoption - an example use-case was Disney trying to figure out how much it would cost to render their new movie on AWS and Google, using different configs, RIs vs on-demand, different services. That was PlanForCloud and was acquired by RightScale. Our 2nd startup was even more interesting - we built a public Container-as-a-Service cloud, but in a place where Amazon/Google could not enter - Iran! This grew fast, and was acquired by the Uber of Iran - the world's 5th largest ride hailing app by rides. That was AbarCloud and was acquired by Snapp. If anyone is interested in how you design a public cloud with minimal external dependencies, and continues to function when the underlying internet connections to outside of the country are cut, ask in the questions :) Back to our current idea. When scaling AbarCloud, we needed to hire DevOps & SREs. When hiring developers, to assess their skillsets, we’d use something like HackerRank or Codility. But when hiring DevOps and SREs, where troubleshooting, scaling and failover etc, are important, these assessment tools don’t help. CircuitOps spins up live environments with broken things in it, drops the candidate in, and asks them to troubleshoot, diagnose and fix the issues. All their working is recorded, and (future feature) auto-marked. Try it here: www.CircuitOps.com I’d love your feedback, specifically about: 1 - What is the hardest part of hiring? For anyone who has stopped hiring due to Covid-19, has this impacted DevOps/SRE roles? 2 - What do you think about this style of testing candidates by doing real life scenarios? Have you done a DIY approach to this at all? 3 - If you are a hiring manager, would you use this tool during a live interview, or as a pre-interview filter? How else would you use this tool? Cheers from Scotland, Hassan, Ali & Alistair
