New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: Haystack – an IDE for exploring and editing code on an infinite canvas

Show HN: Haystack – an IDE for exploring and editing code on an infinite canvas 521 by akshaysg | 197 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, we’re building Haystack Editor ( https://ift.tt/0C2B1nk ), a canvas-based IDE that automates the boring stuff (plumbing, refactoring, and finding code) so that you can focus on the exciting parts of software development! You can see a quick overview of Haystack at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2uZnR5D_cc ! (It's currently only on Mac OS but we're working on Linux and Windows. Edit: just added a Linux download!) Haystack was born out of our frustrations with working in large and mature codebases, specifically with navigating and editing functional flows (e.g. the code flow for adding an item to the Amazon shopping cart). Oftentimes dealing with such flows would involve navigating a maze of files and functions, and making any edits would involve a lengthy process of doing corresponding downstream/upstream plumbing.

New best story on Hacker News: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops (update: caused by a Crowdstrike update)

A local radio station has also said they've got the same issues with their laptops and their phone system is down as a result. Not seeing anything on news sites yet. Anyone else seeing similar? Above is all based in Australia.

New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: I created an After Effects alternative

Show HN: I created an After Effects alternative 527 by clementpiki | 153 comments on Hacker News. Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
