Show HN: Remake – A server-rendered framework for building CRUD web apps fast I wanted to have a framework that would let me build web apps faster than ever before. I didn’t care if it was a little hacky or didn’t use best practices — I wanted to be able to get a multi-user application out the door in hours instead of months. I researched the CMS space for months before deciding to build something from scratch. My goal was to be 90% done building a web app once I had the static HTML and CSS finished. I’m not a big fan of building out API endpoints over and over again for every new app, fiddling with a database, or doing lots of config. What I ended up with was a syntax that lets developers tag HTML elements as containing data (i.e. objects or arrays), thereby transforming the tree structure of the DOM into a JSON tree that can be saved to the current user's account. It took a while after that to evolve the syntax and make it easy to use. I call the project Remake[0] and I’ve been working on it non-stop for the past year. After a failed Product Hunt launch[1], I kept going and managed to get my first few dozen users. I live stream my progress on Twitch[2] (Thursdays and Fridays, 12pm EST) and I’m consistently able to build full CRUD web apps within hours — projects that would’ve easily taken me weeks or months before. A bonus that HN might appreciate: Remake is a server-rendered framework, so the front-end library isn't even necessary or loaded for 90% of users. Only logged in users who can edit the current page need to have JS enabled.

Commemorating Rosa Parks Day By Jeanne Brophy “I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don’t think there is any such thing as complete happiness.” ~ Rosa Parks on optimism Today marks the 20th anniversary of Rosa Parks Day as legislated by the California State Legislature.  Known as the mother of the civil rights movement Rosa Parks ignited a civil rights movement with her refusal to move from her seat. It all began   sixty-five years ago, on December 5, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama , Rosa Parks was jailed and fined $10 for refusing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white man, a violation of the city’s racial segregation laws. This act of civil disobedience, organized by a young Baptist minister named Martin Luther King, Jr., launched the Montgomery Bus Boycott.  The series of events that followed her arrest changed the course of American history.  In commemoration of the start of Bla...

Launch HN: Goodcover (YC S17) – Cooperative Renters Insurance for Half the Price Hi HN, we’re Chris and Dan, co-founders of Goodcover ( https://ift.tt/2T4mCkG ). Goodcover provides renters insurance (only in California at the moment) and operates as a cooperative. We take a fixed fee on every policy, pool the premiums to pay claims, and then return what’s left over back to Members through an annual dividend. Thanks to this model and good technology we’re able to cut the price of renters insurance in half. I (Chris) worked in traditional insurance for 8 years. That time taught me to love insurance and how it picks people up after disasters, but it also gave me first hand exposure to the things people hate about it – the ever-increasing prices, the adversarial claims negotiations, the mountains of paperwork, and the byzantine decision making. All these inefficiencies kept us from really understanding and working for our policyholders – the people we were meant to serve. I became convince...

Launch HN: API Tracker (YC W20) – Track and manage the APIs you use https://ift.tt/2SYCc15

Launch HN: API Tracker (YC W20) – Track and manage the APIs you use Hey HN! We’re Cameron, Trung and Matt from API Tracker ( https://ift.tt/38GoNBc ). We make tools to help with using third-party APIs in production. When software teams integrate with APIs they often run into outages, network issues, interface changes or even bugs that cause unexpected behavior in the rest of their system. These problems are hard to predict and prepare for so most teams don’t deal with them until there's a outage and have to do an emergency build to add logging and get to a root cause. This is what happened to us. Trung and I are both software engineers and we spent a lot of time and energy trying to make our API integrations robust and reliable in production. We found ourselves instrumenting all our API calls so we could know how many calls we were making, how long they were taking and if they were failing. We set up alerts for errors and latency increases and integrated with PagerDuty. We wrote re...
