Show HN: Worklicant – Lightweight ATS. Pay per Vacancy. AI Enabled
I have noticed that a lot of job posts that do not use any ATS, and in order to apply, they put their emails and ask candidates to apply with “X” in email subject. That seemed to be very counter productive — imagine having 300+ emails with resumes. Where do you manage them? In Excel? Or how many good candidates you never get to.I researched popular ATS systems and found out that they require yearly / monthly subscriptions. A lot of them do not have a pricing on the website, so you gotta bo
Show HN: I built a task system to handle the drudgery so I could focus on tasks
I'm a software engineer from the east coast (who has lived in Boston, NY, the bay area, UK, France), and I built a task system called 3 & Done. It's the place you trust to store everything you need to do. It accepts voice input for rapid entry, as well as text (it stores the audio locally so you can listen to jog your memory) and emails you every morning with the three most important things for you to do that day, and why, based on what you've said about the task: deadlines,
Show HN: PatchWave - Add static analysis and automerge to Dependabot
Hey Hacker News, we're Ben, Josh, and Donnie, co-founders of PatchWave.PatchWave is a GitHub App that combines static analysis and eval'ed agents to analyze and (optionally) auto-merge PRs it deems as safe. If a Dependabot PR breaks your CI build, a fix agent works to get CI passing again.Dependabot PRs suck. Nobody likes dealing with them. Most of the time they go ignored or a senior engineer spends their valuable time dealing with them. Before PatchWave, I ran a freelance business ch
The Metamorphosis of Darth Vader
A video by The Italian Screenwriter explores my theory about how Darth Vader’s narrative function shifts from Star Wars: Episodes IV, V, and VI.In 2015, I posted this article on my blog.The Metamorphosis of Darth VaderWith the new Star Wars movie a week away, I was reminded of a note I had jotted down a few months ago — to do a post tracking the metamorphosis of Darth Vader, how his narrative function changes from SW:IV to SW:V to SW:VI.In A New Hope, clearly Vad
One parser, three readers: how our Next.js blog serves browsers, search engines, and Medium's importer
A post on our blog gets read by at least three kinds of client. People read it in a browser. Search crawlers want the text in the HTML, plus some structured data. And Medium's import tool, which we use to syndicate posts, fetches the page remotely and has to find the images by itself.We're building MotionLab, personalized stretching and mobility sessions. Earlier posts in this series covered our AI session builder, our Postgres push queue, and billing. This one is about the blog. Posts are store
How I Built an AI-Powered Observability Platform to Stop Digging Through Microservices Logs 🚀
Ever spent three hours tracing a single NullPointerException across five different microservices? You grep through endless terminal windows, match timestamps, and manually piece together the puzzle. It’s exhausting.As a full-stack developer working heavily with Spring Boot, I realized that while microservices solve scalability issues, they introduce a massive debugging headache. I wanted a tool that didn't just show me the logs, but actually helped me fix them in real-time. Since I couldn't find
React Form Components: Accessible Fields, Zod and Mobile
TL;DRGood React form components share one anatomy: a label tied to the control, one message row that shows the hint or the error, and a counter when there is a limit, with the ids and aria attributes wired for you. Connect them to react-hook-form with register for native inputs and Controller for everything else, and validate with one zod schema once a field has been left. On phones, every control needs 16px text, the right keypad, 44px targets and a bottom sheet instead of a popover.Every
Your SVG Icon Migration Worked. So Why Are Some Icons Missing?
Your SVG files are valid. Your toolbar icons look fine. But some dropdown menus are suddenly missing their icons. Here's why that happens—and how to catch it before release.Migrating from CSS sprites to SVG icons sounds straightforward.You replace the old assets, update the components, check that the new icons render, and move on.Everything looks fine until someone opens a dropdown menu.The toolbar icons are there. The menu labels are visible. The actions still work. But the icons inside the men
How I Built an Autonomous Website Audit & Discovery Tool with FastAPI, React 19 & Google Gemini
Cold outreach in 2026 is broken. Business owners get flooded every day with generic template spam like "Hey, I noticed your website could use an upgrade..."—with zero proof and zero personalization.I spent the last month building an open-source alternative: Leddro 🚀Instead of spamming businesses, Leddro discovers authentic local businesses, runs deep server-side diagnostics (DNS, TLS/SSL, TTFB speed, mobile responsiveness), and drafts fact-checked proposals that cite authentic audit findings.
Redux explained in a simple and succinct way for React developers
Redux is a widely used state management library for React and TypeScript applications. It’s easier than ever to manage state in React thanks to the useState React Hook, as well as the Context API. However, when your codebase grows very large, you’ll need a more powerful and structured state management solution, rather than an ad-hoc one. That’s where Redux can help. Why do you need Redux?When working with React, you usually end up with state that is used globally throughout the entire appli
Systems Design with ReactJS and Storybook
Document and test your React components in isolation using Storybook.Storybook Reacttl;dr: In this post, we will learn how to set up the necessary infrastructure to build a reusable component design system in React, using Storybook.Let's start by understanding that a design system is a series of components that can be reused in different combinations. Design systems allow you to manage design. If we go to designsystemsrepo.com, we can see the design systems used by some of the largest companies
Why Storybook? The component development tool used by over 30,000 projects
Storybook is a tool for developing components and user interfaces faster than ever. Storybook is incredibly versatile: you can use it with a variety of JavaScript libraries and frameworks, not just React. It is available for Vue, React, Svelte, Angular, and Ember.js.If you have been developing your components the old-fashioned way, in your text editor or IDE, a tool like Storybook allows you to unlock greater productivity when developing components. Next, you will learn what Storybook is, how it
Will you still be using client-side components in 2024?
I love server components. But they're not for every occasion. In fact, using them at each and every opportunity you get is more like tenderizing a steak with the same hammer you used to hammer a pin.That said, there are also some cases where server components fit like Cinderella and her shoe. Dashboards & ReportsIn the case of dashboards and reports, you maximize performance by processing and rendering all the data on the server while still allowing the client to do what it was supposed

Embracing Playful Imperfection With The CSS `random()` Function
In design, we love spending hours obsessing over consistency, grids, and alignment. But when I heard that the native CSS random() function landed in Safari and is rolling out in Chrome 156, I started wondering: where does randomness actually make sense on the web? Is it something we want in our design system? To find out, I did what I always do in doubt: I built a bunch of playful CodePen demos exploring organic typography, bouncing letters, splayed cards, and a punk fanzine.As someone who loves
How Much Character Work is Enough?
In theory, I don’t think you can do too much character development. Most scripts I read that aren’t good enough suffer because the characters are too thinly drawn, not complex enough to be compelling or interesting.But Scott, I’m writing a genre piece, not “War and Peace.” Do I really need to do that much character development?Yes, you do. Your job is to make your characters lift up off the page and come alive in the imagination of a script reader. To do that,
Black Unemployment Hints at a Job Market in Worse Shape Than It Seems

Why we spent decades using the "worst" TV cable ever made
It's odd to think that a trio of colorful cables can bring back such strong memories. But the red, yellow, and white colors of the composite video standard managed to dominate home entertainment for decades, particularly among movie buffs and gamers.
