Show HN: JarPeek – Online JAR viewer, decompile classes locally (no upload)

Hacker News - Thu, 09/03/2026 - 11:31pm

When I have no JDK environment, I want to do some things:

browse files inside a JAR decompile .class, but not upload to server edit config files (YAML, properties, JSON), and export the modified JAR inspect class structure, constant pool, bytecode

Also can use on phone. (I use it on subway.)

So I built JarPeek.

Decompiler (Vineflower) runs entirely in browser via TeaVM. No upload, no server, no install.

Ask HN: Why do many websites use a sign-in code instead of a password?

Hacker News - Thu, 09/03/2026 - 11:26pm

I've noticed several websites that exclusively a single-use login code for authentication. This is a 4-digit or 6-digit login code sent via email instead of a password, it's not 2FA or a passkey. (I would rather they don't do this as it means I have to open my email instead of using a password manager.) Some of them also send a magic link. Examples of websites that appear to do this exclusively (no password): substack.com, medium.com, geoguessr.com, bandsintown.com. There are also websites that default to this but will also accept passwords (e.g. spotify.com). There are also websites that will accept either a passwords or login code, but if you enter a password then they require a login code anyway (e.g. homedpot.com).

Is this becoming more common, and if so why?
