Should be considered as a usable WiP for now. I still need to tweak and fix some things in my code. I'd love to get some feedback! See < https://bin.heimdall.pm/ > for my personal feuille instance. Feel free to play around with it :)

Show HN: Unclutter – Reader mode, but better
22 by phgn | 10 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone! In the last months I've been working on Unclutter, a modern reader mode browser extension. In contrast to all existing approaches, it unclutters articles by modifying their CSS instead of extracting the text content. This results in a more visually pleasing result that reuses the original article style. The idea is to remove friction so you use the reader mode more often. There are a few more features around saving articles automatically and taking highlights -- more details are on the website. The extension has about 400 active weekly users right now, mostly from organic web store traffic. Monetisation has proven to be hard and for freemium there would need to be much higher numbers anyways. Do you think I should keep working on the project?

Show HN: Pickcode – A new way to introduce programming to kids
14 by csmeyer | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN, I've linked a tutorial from Pickcode, where students are guided through making a chatbot that plays mad libs. Pickcode is designed for introducing programming without block coding, in a way that's closer to Javascript or Python. I made Pickcode based on my frustrations teaching beginners in both block coding and in Python. The link here is to just one lesson, and I have a few more that you can find on the site. I'd love feedback from HNers with kids age 10-13 or so, or HNers who can put on an intro to programming hat. On the roadmap is adding more complex use cases for your programs (like drag and drop web apps), and obviously many more lessons. If you're a teacher and interested in using this with students, email me at charlie@pickcode.io

Show HN: An API for CO₂ Removal
5 by kisamoto | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all, We're Fabienne and Ewan of Climacrux. Today we're proud to launch our latest project to try and make carbon dioxide removal as accessible as possible: CDR Platform [1]. In short: it’s an API to connect to a portfolio of carbon removers. You can purchase from as low as a single gram and select from both natural and technological removal methods. Longer: A couple of years ago we launched an alternative to carbon credits, Carbon Removed[2], designed for individuals to buy and subscribe to CDR. But we always had the nagging thought that there was more that could be done. CDR Platform is our foundation for that - a simple API to get prices and purchase (at the moment). Our plan is to become the Stripe of the carbon removal ecosystem, seamlessly connecting the supply to the demand. We’d love to hear your feedback. Do you see a use case for this and would you use it? What features have we missed? Do you understand what we’re doing and if not, what’s unclear? We’d love to hear from you.[3] Many thanks and happy hacking, Climacrux. P.s. If you are a carbon remover, send us your prices, life cycle analysis and some more information about your removal timeline. Our aim is to bring your services to a wider audience so you can focus on reducing our CO₂ levels. Thanks for your work! [1] https://ift.tt/bQrTni1 [2] https://ift.tt/Cdl4NJE [3] ewan@climacrux.com

23 by ritinkar | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I'm Ritinkar and I'm building metadocs, which is kind of like reddit built into every documentation ever. It's a chrome extension that allows discussion on any webpage to happen there itself. Currently I have built threaded comments, and a upvote/downvote system. Plus I've built this cool feature called Highlights, which lets you discuss specific lines in any documentation. As well as a feature called Top Hightlights, which shows the most interesting hightlights on any webpage. Hope you guys will try it out. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask me here. Thanks.

Show HN: Open Source Authentication and Authorization
6 by rishabhpoddar | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I’m Rishabh and the co-founder and CTO at https://supertokens.com (YC S20). We offer open-source user authentication and we just released our user roles product for companies implementing authorization. Our users are web developers, and a prominent and adjacent pain point for our users is authorization. Developers typically implement two independent solutions for authentication and authorization. Offering AuthN and AuthZ in a single solution is something we’ve been thinking about for the last few years. Quick primer, authentication is knowing who the user is, and authorization is knowing what the user has access to. A physical analogy: A person enters a building. Authentication means reading their ID card and knowing that the person’s name is John. Authorization means knowing which floors, offices, and files John has access to. With increasing privacy and data complexity, companies like Netflix[1], Slack[2], and Airbnb[3] have built out their own complex authorization systems. To build our user roles product, we started with a first principles approach of covering authorization use cases using scripting languages such as XACML and OPA. But looking at existing solutions built by talented teams like Oso[4], Aserto[5], Cerbos[6], Strya[7], we realized that while these were powerful solutions, they were often overkill for most early to mid-stage companies (especially on the B2C side). We went back to the drawing board, reached out to our users and after dozens of conversations, we realized that most authorization needs require the ability to 1. Assign and manage roles and permissions 2. Store roles in the DB and session tokens to make it readable on the frontend and 3. Protect APIs and websites based on these roles and permissions. And so, we built user roles – a simple RBAC authorization service that focuses on the balance between simplicity and utility. It doesn’t cover many complex cases and we’re not looking to displace any of the authorization incumbents. But you can add AuthN and AuthZ using a single solution, quickly. In the near future, we’ll be launching an admin GUI where you can manage your users and their roles with a few clicks. We’d love for you to try it out and hear what additional functionality you’d like to see. What are your favorite authentication providers and what do they get right? - [1]: https://ift.tt/uBeJHAr... - [2]: https://ift.tt/1eorTDK - [3]: https://ift.tt/vqGY6Ci... - [4]: https://www.osohq.com/ - [5]: https://www.aserto.com/ - [6]: https://cerbos.dev/ - [7]: https://www.styra.com/

Show HN: Explainpaper – Explain jargon in academic papers with GPT-3

heyo! Explainpaper lets you upload a research paper PDF. If you don't understand a formula or sentence, just highlight it and the tool explains it for you I built this a few weeks ago to help me read a neuroscience paper, and it works pretty well! I didn't fine-tune GPT-3, but I do take a lot of context from the paper and feed that into the prompt (not the whole paper). Ppl have uploaded AI, biology, economics, philosophy papers and even law documents. Works in Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French and more as well!
