New best story on Hacker News: Apollo is dead. Long live Apollo

Apollo is dead. Long live Apollo
561 by bears-n-beets | 196 comments on Hacker News.
I was actively using the app on my phone and it suddenly crashed at 4:10pm PDT. I thought it was just my phone acting up but then I realized that’s about 12am UTC. With the death of Apollo also goes the metaphorical death of all the best parts (IMO) of the internet: open-source, creativity, entrepreneurial spirit. Sad day. I guess I’ll go outside now. Edit: sorry, Apollo wasn’t open source. That’s what happens when I make a post while two beers deep I guess. Hopefully you get the general spirit of what I was trying to convey.

Discovering that a Bluetooth car battery monitor is siphoning location data
650 by x1sec | 267 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, this is my efforts in reverse engineering a BLE car battery monitor where it's app has over 100,000 downloads on the Google Play store alone. It turns out it's sending GPS, cell phone tower cell IDs and Wifi beacon data to servers in Hong Kong and mainland China on a continued basis. Google and Apple app store pages say no personal data is collected or sent to 3rd parties. Hopefully readers pick up a few tips on reversing apps for their connected devices.

New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser

Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser
447 by xitang | 144 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I recently created and published an open-source resume builder as a weekend project. The idea came to me while I was mentoring students and noticing common mistakes they made in their resumes that I had also made in the past. I thought to build a tool to help people easily create a modern professional resume with built-in best practices to avoid those mistakes. Top highlights of the resume builder are: 1. Real time UI update as you type 2. ATS friendly to top ATS platforms, e.g. Greenhouse, Lever 3. Privacy focus - no sign up is required and data is stored locally in browser that only users have access 4. Support import from existing resume PDF The tool also includes a resume parser to help people test their existing resumes’ ATS readability if they might not be interested in using the builder. I also explained the parser algorithm in an article with interactive tables that might be an interesting read to see the steps and logics it uses ( https://ift.tt/fPlN3z4 ). I hope others might find this tool useful and I look forward to hearing any feedback the community has. Thanks all.

Show HN: An open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor
443 by arek_nawo | 127 comments on Hacker News.
Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when logged in) - GPT-3.5 integration (only when logged-in with the corresponding extension installed) Stack used: TipTap, Solid.js, HocusPocus, Fastify, tRPC. Some notable drawbacks: - No mobile support - Collaboration available only between signed-in users, in the same workspace; - I tried my best to support most common Markdown formatting, pasting and in-editor shortcuts, though there might still be room for improvement - Self-hosting isn't easy right now, though you should be able to figure it out from the source code The editor itself is a standalone app, extracted from the larger Vrite CMS project ( https://ift.tt/weTaHbj ) which you can also test out (only with sign-in) here: https://app.vrite.io/

Show HN: Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years
448 by jjcm | 166 comments on Hacker News.
Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported network doesn't have alignment between the needs of the users and the needs of the platform, which is what drove me to make this. Because this is a soft launch, if you do subscribe I'd encourage you not to pay for the time being. I'm still testing the distribution algorithm for returning funds - you won't get overcharged or anything, but I just want to guarantee your funds are properly distributed at the end of the month. I've opened up free accounts to post and interact in the meantime. If you want to try a test account, use this login: login: hackernews pw: helloworld Edit: Loginless browsing here: https://non.io/#all If you want to browse the code or the api: https://api.non.io https://ift.tt/xim1gBh

Tell HN: My Reddit account was banned after adding my subs to the protest
427 by goplayoutside | 174 comments on Hacker News.
As you may be aware, there is an upcoming protest[0] on June 12-14 where many subreddits[1] are going private for 48 hours in protest of reddit's API fee increase[2][3], which many expect will lead to the end of all third party apps. I moderate a few subreddits for a niche hobby, and decided to join the protest. We're fairly small, if non-negligible potatos: altogether, maybe 10k-15k active users on a busy day, but still want to show support. So, I commented to add the subs to the list[1] and made announcement posts based on the template[4] linked from r/modcoord. Several minutes later, the site logged me out. I received an email from reddit that said my account had been locked for "suspicious activity" and I would need to reset my password. The timing seemed curious, but as I was logged in over an Airbnb's wifi, I figured it could be legitimate. When I logged back in, I saw that all of the posts and comments I've made from this account had been deleted. The password reset requirement is understandable; the fact that the posts and comments were not restored, less so. Looks like it's finally time to encourage my community to move to another site. 0. https://ift.tt/F4Si5r0 1. https://ift.tt/4D0rNBa... 2. https://ift.tt/FN5qudJ... 3. https://ift.tt/vsyqEit... 4. https://ift.tt/Wncf7Q9
