Tell HN: Mindie.dev is scraping emails from profiles to send spam 5 by stackghost | 0 comments on Hacker News. Got the following from hello@mindie.dev ---- Hey Stackghost — Saw your HN comment about freelance time tracking / invoicing. TimeChat is a Telegram bot: type "1.5 acme bug fix" after work, end of month it auto-generates the PDF invoice for your client. Side-by-side vs Toggl: mindie.dev/vs/toggl. For HN readers I'm running EARLY10: $1/mo (was $7). One-click checkout: timechat pro 2-mo trial If it's useful, I'd love your feedback.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: When did computers stop being fun?

Ask HN: When did computers stop being fun? 28 by klez | 31 comments on Hacker News. Of course I don't mean they stopped being fun for everyone. My impression is that they've been on one side "corporatized", and on the other became a vehicle for mindless entertainment. I don't care for coding new stuff. Everything I may need either already exists or is too complex to do on my own (and no, I won't vibe-code it, what's the fun in that?) I don't even code for work anymore since I moved to a project/service management role. Basically, the spark I felt some 25 years ago seems to be completely gone. Any suggestion on getting it back?

New ask Hacker News story: Load testing in your infra, not cloud

Load testing in your infra, not cloud 3 by vitalicset | 0 comments on Hacker News. Im tired to use cloud based load testing tools, the coding is also overcomplicated and my manager wants to see how load testing is going, so I create perfscale - runs inside your infra as agent and shows the metrics for runs. Supports migration from k6 and locust. Git integration included!

New ask Hacker News story: Viable open source Claude Design alternative?

Viable open source Claude Design alternative? 9 by splatzone | 0 comments on Hacker News. Can anyone recommend an alternative to Claude Design? I've been trying OpenDesign (https://ift.tt/NIdCfsv) using GPT5.5 which seemed promising, but so far the results have nowhere near the same level of polish or consistency as Claude Design from what I can tell. Any recommendations?
