Apollo is dead. Long live Apollo 519 by bears-n-beets | 181 comments on Hacker News. I was actively using the app on my phone and it suddenly crashed at 4:10pm PDT. I thought it was just my phone acting up but then I realized that’s about 12am UTC. With the death of Apollo also goes the metaphorical death of all the best parts (IMO) of the internet: open-source, creativity, entrepreneurial spirit. Sad day. I guess I’ll go outside now. Edit: sorry, Apollo wasn’t open source. That’s what happens when I make a post while two beers deep I guess. Hopefully you get the general spirit of what I was trying to convey.

Discovering that a Bluetooth car battery monitor is siphoning location data 644 by x1sec | 265 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, this is my efforts in reverse engineering a BLE car battery monitor where it's app has over 100,000 downloads on the Google Play store alone. It turns out it's sending GPS, cell phone tower cell IDs and Wifi beacon data to servers in Hong Kong and mainland China on a continued basis. Google and Apple app store pages say no personal data is collected or sent to 3rd parties. Hopefully readers pick up a few tips on reversing apps for their connected devices.

Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser 459 by xitang | 147 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I recently created and published an open-source resume builder as a weekend project. The idea came to me while I was mentoring students and noticing common mistakes they made in their resumes that I had also made in the past. I thought to build a tool to help people easily create a modern professional resume with built-in best practices to avoid those mistakes. Top highlights of the resume builder are: 1. Real time UI update as you type 2. ATS friendly to top ATS platforms, e.g. Greenhouse, Lever 3. Privacy focus - no sign up is required and data is stored locally in browser that only users have access 4. Support import from existing resume PDF The tool also includes a resume parser to help people test their existing resumes’ ATS readability if they might not be interested in using the builder. I also explained the parser algorithm in an article with interactive tables that might be an

Show HN: An open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor 443 by arek_nawo | 127 comments on Hacker News. Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when logged in) - GPT-3.5 integration (only when logged-in with the corresponding extension installed) Stack used: TipTap, Solid.js, HocusPocus, Fastify, tRPC. Some notable drawbacks: - No mobile support - Collaboration available only between signed-in users, in the same workspace; - I tried

Tell HN: Stripe killed my music locker service, so I'm open sourcing it 410 by grose | 164 comments on Hacker News. I'm writing this to warn anyone who might have a similar service, including backup hosting services. I run a small website at inter.tube. It lets you upload your music collection and stores it in Backblaze B2. It provides a simple web interface to listen to your collection, and support for the Subsonic API (allowing native apps to use it). Fundamentally it is not very different from something like Dropbox or Backblaze: it is a "dumb" backup that simply stores what you give it. It doesn't perform "matching" against other files, it doesn't allow you to access music you didn't explicitly upload, and it doesn't even deduplicate files between different users. It doesn't allow "sharing" of music either, download links are tied to a short access token for a specific user's login session. The only difference between

Tell HN: My Reddit account was banned after adding my subs to the protest 419 by goplayoutside | 167 comments on Hacker News. As you may be aware, there is an upcoming protest[0] on June 12-14 where many subreddits[1] are going private for 48 hours in protest of reddit's API fee increase[2][3], which many expect will lead to the end of all third party apps. I moderate a few subreddits for a niche hobby, and decided to join the protest. We're fairly small, if non-negligible potatos: altogether, maybe 10k-15k active users on a busy day, but still want to show support. So, I commented to add the subs to the list[1] and made announcement posts based on the template[4] linked from r/modcoord. Several minutes later, the site logged me out. I received an email from reddit that said my account had been locked for "suspicious activity" and I would need to reset my password. The timing seemed curious, but as I was logged in over an Airbnb's wifi, I figured it could be le
