Show HN: I built a fast RSS reader in Zig

Well, I certainly tried. I had to, because it has a certain quirk inspired by "digital minimalism."The quirk is that it only allows you to fetch new articles once per day (or X days).Why? Let me explain...I want my internet content to be like a boring newspaper. You get it in the morning, and you read the whole thing while sipping your morning coffee, and then you're done! No more new information for today. No pings, no alerts, peace, quiet, zen, etc.But with that, I needed it to

Launch HN: Kenobi (YC W22) – Personalize your website for every visitor

Hey HN! We’re Rory, Chris, and Felix from Kenobi (https://kenobi.ai). Kenobi lets you add AI-based content personalization to any website.

Ask HN: How do I re-train myself to think clearly?

What I mean by my question is: We all just pick up stuff when we're kids and our primary education, home, friends, etc. affect how we learn to think and see things or problems. As we get older this just becomes the way we see things and work with them which leads to some people being exceptionally great at solving problems and understanding stuff and others, not as good.How can someone learn to re-train themself and see things the way real problem solvers do? I'm talking about stuff li

Show HN: A faster way to theme Shadcn/UI

Hi HN,shadcn/ui gives you beautifully built React components, but ships with a very neutral theme. Customizing it means dealing with a long list of CSS variables, and most existing “theme generators” just expose those variables in a big form. You still need design knowledge, and it’s easy to break contrast or consistency.I built uithemes.app to remove that friction.Instead of tweaking individual tokens, the idea is to start with a base palette. That palette is then mapped across text, backg

Ask HN: Tech Interview Coaches Worth the Money?

Hey HN,I currently have a job, but I'm hoping to find a better one. Trying to get senior software engineer roles at startups, and I'm getting lots of interviews, but even after making it to a few final rounds, it seems I'm not impressing them enough technically. I also don't really get any feedback, so I don't know what to improve. I leave each interview feeling like I satisfied them, but then not getting an offer. I'm not talking about l33tcode either. Either take

Show HN: Samata – A minimal personal workspace where everything is a page

Hi HN,I’ve been working solo on Samata — a small web app for personal work.I built it because my own notes, tasks, and project context were always scattered across different tools. Notes lived in one app, tasks in another, and projects somewhere else. I wasn’t missing features — I was losing context.Samata is based on a simple idea: everything is a page. A task, a note, a project, an idea — all the same thing at different stages.You start with an empty page, write a thought, link it to other pag

Ergonomic Office Chairs: A Smart Investment for Long-Term Health at Work

In today's fast-paced business world, comfort and productivity go hand in hand.

That’s where ergonomic office chairs come into play—they’re more than just furniture; they’re a smart investment in your health and well-being.Long hours of sitting, especially in a poorly designed chair, can lead to back pain, neck strain, and long-term posture issues. These health problem

Ask HN: Decentralized Auth for Information Exchange?

I have a media server project that I want to work on. But I'm stuck on one thing, convenience vs privacy.As the project is about spinning your own server (media server), I want to have a smoother way to have a simple account system where the user just enters an email and a password, and get the server/ip list (everything from there is done on the actual server). For example, a user could be invited to 2 servers, and would see them in the same page, which makes things more straight-forw
