I've started a side business to support local artisans.

I want to help people making a living from what they've created with their hands. A major focus to do so is to connect with local artisans and learning from their perspective.

On the technical side, I'm developing a static site[0] with Astro / React / Shadcn. The main interface is a OSM leaflet map with a custom calendar timeline.

As a software developer, this is my main entry in the world of agentic engineering. I'm using OpenCode with models from OpenRouter. One of the surprising insights is that there are often free quotas for new coding models (e.g. MiniMax). It's a very interesting time for building.

I notice a lot of the suggestions are news-oriented. However, the thing I like about HN are all the non-news gold nuggets about tech. I'd love to find such gold nuggets for other industries as well.


Can you recommend some of your favorite RSS feeds for non-technical topics?


Sure. Here is an older list that I shared a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28911253

In the meantime I've bookmarked quite a few more on literature, politics, and such, if it's of any interest. I've also made (a fairly weak) case for Jacobin here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44309069


Nostr is append only, if an event is published to someone else's relay, you can't delete it.


oh yes, i get that about nostr. my question relates to updating the website.

if i have 5 pages, which i publish to nostr using this tool, and then i make a small change to one of the pages, do i then need to create and publish the entire project again?


it relies on the hash of the contents ex. if you uploaded your website for the first time it get fully uploaded, but incase you have changed some contents lets stay 1 page out of 5, it compares the hash of the assets, and just upload the changed assets, same as the retrieval, unchanged cached contents didn't get retrieved from the relays


Nostr has built-in support (NIP idk) for Bitcoin Lightning payments. Bitcoiners see Nostr doing to social media what Bitcoin did to fiat.


> Bitcoiners see Nostr doing to social media what Bitcoin did to fiat

Well then social media has nothing to fear.


Bitcoin's market cap begs to differ.


"support" being a loose long list of protocol features that are entirely optional. Each client or server can only do much simpler things if you want.


I think George is right about vibe coding. It's great for rapid prototyping, but in my daily programming on a production codebase, PRs must be reviewable, so I have to understand what I'm changing even more so.


I love the example with git blame for the current line. Helix is my daily driver alongside lazygit, however I much appreciate a tighter integration of Git in Helix. A colleague showed me what he can do with magit in emacs, and that was some next-level stuff (e.g. cycling the buffer through the Git history of the file). Previously I was using Neovim, but I'm really happy with my switch to Helix. So much less config, keybindings I find more intuitive and multi-cursor editing. For agentic coding I'm looking into Aider and OpenCode. I expect a tool like that to join my terminal setup with Helix and lazygit.


The way I prioritize my time (work / family / hobbies / ...) I don't do any serious side projects.

However, when I became a father I started valuing my time much higher (watching less YouTube and reducing other time sinks).

So it made me more productive but also heavily reduced the time available.


This is such a nice project utilizing the advances in TTS models. Just converted an ePub in German via OpenAI. This gives me way more flexibility in reading / listening to books.


btw it cost 10$ for an epub that is about 300 pages in print


I'm very curious if this works. I'd like to have this product, but so far it's hard to find independent assessments and (long term) side effects as well are unknown. Also I think it's unclear if a one time treatment is enough or if it has to be reapplied regularly (e.g. after a professional dental cleaning).
