I've been working on a thing for worktrees to work with docker-compose setups so you can run multiple localhost environments at once https://coasts.dev/ . It's free and open source. In my experience it's made

When I'm in marketing mode and I have to spam, I do my best to keep a 1:1 schill to not related to my product comment ratio. As a founder it is your job to spam your product but I think there are ways to be tactful and give back to the

I think direnv would actually play nicely with what we're working on https://coasts.dev . It's for isolating docker-compose runtimes so you can run multiple localhost runtimes and assign them to your various worktrees.

Thanks! Still ironing out early kinks but I have a couple of friends using it. It’s been a joy to work on.

Hey I'm working on this problem (also a YC company but it's FOSS). It's a Dind approach https://coasts.dev/ , I wonder if this works for your setup.

Yeah, I agree but as someone in this thread said, if Temple OS came out today there is no way it wouldn’t be immediately derided as AI slop. That’s what worries me. Blatant slop is obvious. Slop with a modicum of effort is harder. I’m still

I’ve been mulling over this for a couple of days too. I have a project I want to share with the HN community that I put a substantial amount of effort into but it was definitely AI assisted (as is literally everything today). I’ve read all

Umm it's not as bad I thought it would be. ~16mb per locale. ~28k words in the english docs. Not schilling, just easier to show you the repo since it's open source. https://github.com/coast-guard/coasts

I'm working on a CLI now. The pattern I used was this: 1) made a docs command that printed out the path of the available docs $ my-cli docs - README.md - DOC1.md - dir2/DOC2.md 2) added a --path flag to print out a specific doc (t

I’ve had a lot of success with grpc web. Had to patch a couple of things along the way. My biggest misgiving is thinking having bigints would be a good idea (it is not a good idea). Aside from that though, I’ve been happy with it. What felt

We actually do support monorepos and it can do multi-file edits.

Hey csomar. If you switch over to discord I can work through it with you there. > I understand you are trying to make a simple one click/command solution but some setups are more complicated than the standard yarn dev nextjs app. I

Thanks! I think we want to get good enough to take over the front end and your IDE is there for backend things but I think it’s a long road to get to that place. For now I feel comfortable promoting that it’s great for small tweaks and styl

We actually do have a VSCode plugin we built a couple of months ago. It's a sort of a gnarly install if you run our dev-server from a docker container (which we do), so we shelved it. We dog food everything before putting it out. There

I don't think I'm really the best person to defend the practice of recurring revenue but I would rather be transparent that we collect a monthly fee for some features than vanity launch as a one time fee product to hacker news onl

We gotta stabilize on chromium but then 100%. It's tough while we are so dependent on auto updating to put out hot-fixes. We built with https://wxt.dev , which, I highly recommend. So it shouldn't be too tough of a port

Well, I'm saying I'm happy to not be involved in the resale token trade in general. I don't think enterprises are the only folks with API keys. There are a lot of people who might not be savvy or motivated enough to setup an

by jsunderland323 11mo ago
No it's all good and it's a fair point. So from my vantage point we need some way to create revenue. We have tried to make as much of the tool free as we can. We do a 10% markup on tokens issued by us. That's better than curs

To be clear, I'm with you 100%. You have my word that I will add in playwright when we get to a point where we can support it.

>you still have a chance if you serve the needs of professional React development That's my entire thesis. I think it's a long long road. But I think you've actually done a great job of pretty much seeing the whole vision.

by jsunderland323 11mo ago
Haha. I had the same thought. I told my mom if it doesn’t work out for developers I can always pitch it as a tool to teach people React. Thanks for the comment man!

CMD k instead of right click. But you have to have the dev server installed. We can’t edit source maps, we can only edit your actual source code. But there’s a full IDE in there so you can easily update the jsx code from your browser.

We made this opt in because React is doing this for performance reasons and you might not want us on at all times.

by jsunderland323 11mo ago
It is. You need to setup the dev server to overcome this limit. That’s why we put that warning there. React 19 limits the number of fiber nodes with source maps to 10k. When you enable the proxy we update it to 1m but we have to do a find r

I don’t mind the tough love one bit. Yeah, could happen. Startups just aren’t defensible creatures, especially in the post network effect world of AI. But having spent a bit of time in the world of startups (I worked at YC), I think it’s ea
