Show HN: I built a live preview web code editor

Hacker News - Sun, 05/12/2024 - 7:02pm

Hello everyone,

Recently while using JSBin, I decided to attempt replicating the functionality applications in that same space have, like Codpen, JsFiddle etc as a learning exercise. Basically the core feature of these apps is seeing changes “live” as code is being edited. I built the frontend with Vue and made my best attempt at keeping dependencies as lean as the only other dependency is CodeMirror which does all the heavy lifting for code editing. The backend is written in Go.

All in all it was a nice “and not so easy it becomes boring” project to tackle.

I have plans if I can find the time to add some more features like more flexibility with layouts and have also been considering adding more complex features like collaborative editing after using and reading some articles from Repl.it.

You can try out the editor here: https://live-editor.ikeoha.xyz Github here: https://github.com/ikeohachidi/live-editor

Ask HN: What do social networks put unique IDs in link sharing for?

Hacker News - Sun, 05/12/2024 - 6:48pm

When I copy a link to share a tweet, or a YouTube video or any number of websites, there's often an ID unique to me attached to the link. (YouTube even changes it for every share)

e.g. https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=2W5B4wtJZFr7-Ps4 (yes, it's Rick Astley)

I understand it's for tracking and analytics generally speaking, but practically, what do these sites really get from them?

The signals from me sharing a particular link, and others clicking it seem very minute and not very valuable. I suppose you could establish parts of a social network over time, but how valuable is that in practical terms? What can they do with that, that they couldn't do without? How is it worth it to add to all links and have the infrastructure to store and track and analyze?

Is it simply cheap enough that "why not"?

Thanks!
