Ask HN: Books on Building Decentralized Services

17 hours 41 min ago

For clarification I'm not taking about anything block chain, but rather the system architecture of someone like mastodon or bluesky.

I know that they have some blog posts but I'm looking for a book that I can read physically about issues and considerations in decentralised services. Manly around authentication and authorisation. Service discovery. Etc.

Ask HN: Should L and R modifier keys have existed, why not thumbs on bottom row?

17 hours 54 min ago

I finished all of typing club months ago and learned to press left and right shift while typing letters on the opposite sides, but it became very slow and inconvenient to type shifted characters consecutively when on opposite sides of the keyboard, like "?!". Then I realized that I should just have one set on the bottom row and press them with my thumbs. On my MacBook keyboard I have OPT and CMD on the left side, and I remapped Right CMD and OPT to Shift and CTRL respectively. While it did feel awkward for my thumbs at first, it didn't take long to get used to it and my typing has been more efficient. Its not hard to press multiple CMD and OPT or Shift and CTRL simultaneously.

The benefit of using my thumb for the shift key on the bottom right is that I don't have to keep alternating between left and right shift, I can just hold it down with my thumb when typing consecutive characters, and can keep it held down instead of using caps lock when typing in all caps. Since I started using Vim I mapped the caps lock key to ESC since its used frequently. I don't need caps lock at all anymore! BTW, I stopped using arrow keys entirely and mapped them to CTRL H J K L respectively since that's what Vim uses alongside arrow keys.

Show HN: I built an email notification service for your side projects

18 hours 6 min ago

I was sick of setting up an SMTP server or using an email service just to receive an email notification when a user submitted the contact form. So I built EmailMe and would love your feedback.

Show HN: Plan Events Effortlessly – Free, No-Sign-Up Required Event Planning App

18 hours 7 min ago

Hi HN,

Recently I needed a simple and free service to plan a personal event; something I could use to coordinate across platforms (WhatsApp, iMessage etc.), but couldn't find anything that suited.

Of the developer mind set, I put this events planning application together that I find useful, and maybe you will too.
