  • A project for pretty default avatars for websites — PrettyAvatars
    I recently bootstrapped a company and we wanted some nice looking default images for our users that didn't upload their own and we found some out there but not too many with the goal we were looking achieve — other than boringavatars.com (where this project gets its inspiration!). We didn't want to implement avatars creators like the ones where you can customize the exact look and feel, that seemed too... Source: 9 months ago
  • I ported Boring Avatars to several frameworks using Mitosis from builder.io
    Makes sense. I concentrated on porting what existed in boringavatars.com first. There is definitely room to alter the algorithms that generate the images now, though. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I ported Boring Avatars to a bunch of frameworks using Mitosis from Builder.io.
    I would first like to thank Boring Designers for their initial work on boringavatars.com. All I did was port what they did to other frameworks using Mitosis. Source: over 1 year ago

  • WASI 0.2.0 and Why It Matters

Holy crap! We are there. Not for modern programs quite yet, sure, but this is amazing.

  • Is offline-first not enough? Do we need "serverfree"?
    I think you are looking for Shadow. https://shadow.goose.icu Or just the whole kitchen sink. Why not? http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows98. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Virtual Computer Museum – VNC into Archaic Windows Systems
    It's great that someone is trying to preserve these operating systems. However the choice of limiting it to 1 user per OS at a time makes the museum/website unusable. I tried several times over the span of 20 minutes and couldn't get into a single VM. While it doesn't cover everything, there is no shortage of browser-based emulators that can run most of the software listed. Windows 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
