What Hacker News says

5 sources
captn3m0·Dec 13, 2023
GUI: Long ago, wrote a HN app for linux users that lived in the system tray (https://github.com/captn3m0/hackertray) because I thought that might be faster. WEB: I wrote a news app (plain-text website) that provides byte-sized news and optimizes for skimmability (https://news.tatooine.club/). API: I needed to import indian mutual fund data into beancount, so I wrote up an API (https://mf.captnemo.in/) and wrote a small beancount plugin for that uses it. CLI: I wanted to download songs from youtube, but they were often stitched as complete albums - so I wrote a youtube-cue generator that generates cuesheets that can then be used to split and tag the yt-dlp downloaded audio file.
