Maybe this site is more current: https://anvil-editor.net/download/ (it at least downloads over https...)

I couldn't find a link to a repo on anvil-editor.net anywhere, but I didn't look too deeply.

I'm looking forward to checking this out, though!


Better submitted link switch to this one.

>I couldn't find a link to a repo

Perhaps is one of projects that their code is provided in archive-only format and don't have a (public) repo.


I'm not sure if this would be a solution for you, and I've never used it myself, but I found this interesting secrets management project a few years ago that I always find myself thinking "is that what I want?":

https://git.sr.ht/~egtann/shh

It looks unmaintained, unfortunately, and a link in the README to an article that gives some background is broken (but archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20201128160302/https://www.egt.r...)

Like I said, I haven't used it, I can't vouch for it, but it looked interesting for my own use, which is personal/small team, with an emphasis on simplicity.

Take that for what it's worth! :)


That's a good question, for sure. I clicked on the OP (and then here) because the company I work for is in the early stages of bringing this functionality (linktree, ffm.to type thing) in-house, so I was curious to see what's on offer here.

We won't use this because we'll end up building something more custom fit for us (more of a full featured "landing page" experience), but this is still interesting to see.

(For context, the company works with artists and we launch dozens of projects a year, each of which needs a "link tree" or landing page-style place that's updated constantly for several months bracketing the launch date.)


Good observation. I believe the name for that is "induced demand".


No, that's not what induced demand is.

Induced demand is the idea that if you upgrade things, people will use it more (duh). (And it will need upgrading again shortly)

The post you're replying to is just how benefits of improvements scale off with time.


Ugh! I'm not too surprised to hear this. I deal with Shopify daily at work and once installed the Shop app to troubleshoot some problem we were seeing. I didn't get to the point of noticing what OP points out, but it immediately struck me as some kind of virus (not saying it's an actual "computer virus"!) -- it wants to take control of everything in regards to your interactions with Shopify stores, which is a huge amount of shops. I immediately uninstalled it... I think I made a clean break, maybe I'll never know.

The only way I'd ever install it again is if work buys me a separate phone and pays all costs associated with it.

(Now if I have to troubleshoot a Shop-related problem -- of which there are many, I'll say! -- I get someone else to do the "dirty work"...)


This looks cool!

It doesn't do quite the same thing, but a tool I've had good luck with for quick-n-dirty grepping of JSON is gron:

https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron

(which I'm sure I learned about from a thread like this on HN...)

It sort of "flattens out" your JSON to allow you to do whatever you want to it (grepping, for one thing!). Then you can even turn gron's output back into JSON with `ungron`.

Maybe someone will find it a useful toolbox addition, much like the Flatito looks to be!


There's a great book about caracaras from a few years ago called "A Most Remarkable Creature: The Hidden Life and Epic Journey of the World's Smartest Birds of Prey" by Jonathan Meiburg. I highly recommend it! (And a trivia note, the author is perhaps better known as a musician, most notably in the bands Shearwater and Loma.)

Book (no wiki link, but this seems OK): https://www.npr.org/2021/03/31/982631076/-a-most-remarkable-...

Author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Meiburg

Didn't think I'd see caracaras mentioned when I opened up hacker news this morning, thanks!


Second this book recommendation. He is a very engaging author (and his music is amazing too).


For reference & context, I believe (I hope!) this is the "first big thread on GitButler":

The submitter unhelpfully didn’t mention the name in the title.


There's a (dead) comment lamenting that you can't access Github with javascript turned off. The Oasis repo seems to be mirrored on sourcehut, though, so if that's more acceptable:

https://git.sr.ht/~mcf/oasis


A comment up-thread (currently) says/implies Oasis is a successor to sta.li by the same person.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39143029

I also thought sta.li when I saw this was about a statically linked linux system...


It's not by the same person — sta.li was by Anselm R Garbe. It's more like a spiritual successor.


Ah, thank you for the clarification. I read the linked to (by me) comment too quickly and/or without thinking enough! Cheers!
