Hi Hacker News — I’m releasing *Essential CDN (E.CDN)* as a beta.

Most developer CDNs stop at JavaScript. E.CDN is meant to be a simple, versioned “app-store CDN” for *more than JS*, including:

* *JS libraries* (e.g., jQuery versions side-by-side) * *Scripts that can run in the terminal from a site without downloads.*

Everything is served with predictable, versioned paths so you can pin exactly what you want.

I also built *Essential Jaws (ejaws)*: a tiny runner that lets you stream a script from the web and execute it immediately from one terminal session (no saving an installer script to disk first).

*Examples*

JS Libs:

```html <script src="https://essentialcdn.fluidity.workers.dev/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://essentialcdn.fluidity.workers.dev/jquery/4.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script> ```

Essential Jaws 1:

```powershell # Windows (recommended): stream and run ejaws iwr -useb https://essentialcdn.fluidity.workers.dev/ejaws/1.0.0/ejaws.... | iex ```

Repo / docs:

```text https://gitlab.com/kryptonitewing/essential.cdn ```

It’s beta, so I’d love feedback on: URL conventions, what packages/tools to add next, and what would make you trust a “stream-to-run” workflow more (checksums, signatures, pinned tags, etc.).


If you can't be bothered to write this much text without spicy autocomplete, I see no reason to think you haven't had it write the code too.

Fire19 decided to expand its user base (not marketing) by putting it on here! Fire19 already exists but here you can host websites, Fire19 is community-based. Here are a list of repositories on Fire19: Fire19: https://gitlab.com/kryptonitewing/jaguar API (deprecated): https://gitlab.com/kryptonitewing/jaguarapi If you do not know, Fire19 is a DNS (folder-based DNS) to publish websites. IF you see a site being hyped up, PLEASE ignore it as it is a part of the old Fire19, NOT the new one. Also, happy 2026!


The popular photo sharing platform gets open sourced due to issues

The issue was that Netlify, the hosting service, blocked the platform due to the free domain

Netlify's free tier used to not have credits, but then they added it, and it makes the platform less accessible to users

Users wouldn't like if they saw the site was deleted,

This means more users leaving, and less users using StudioArt Why this is bad

StudioArt is a popular photo sharing platform, and if Netlify blocks it, it will be less accessible to users What we are doing about it

GitHub Pages is a free hosting service that we are using to host StudioArt now

Open sourcing StudioArt will allow anyone to contribute to the platform and make it better

StudioArt is now open sourced on GitHub, and anyone can contribute to the platform

We open sourced it due to issues with Netlify's free tier, and that GitHub Pages is free with open source projects.


Regular social media and the platform is different cause social media (most popular ones) has worse moderation because 1, they want profit, 2, they cant manage really popular platform (like lets say, 1 billion posts), and poor working conditions, or when you post something (like to do harm-reduction) gets removed due to the content shown in it

*`system` – Tiny OS Utils for Isolated Cmds & Info*

```python import shlex, os, uuid, psutil, requests from ipaddress import ip_address from typing import Optional ```

*Globals* - `id = uuid.uuid4()` → session UUID - `uid = str(id)` → temp dir `./{uid}/` - `parts = psutil.disk_partitions()` - `usage = psutil.disk_usage("./")`

---

### `run(cmd: str = "True")` Executes `cmd` in isolated `./{uid}/cache.sh`, auto-cleans. Uses `shlex.quote()` → injection-safe. ```python run("ls -la") ```

---

### `getoutput(label: str = "True") -> str` Runs `label`, captures *stdout+stderr* → `output.txt`, returns stripped string. ```python getoutput("uname -a") # "Linux …" ```

---

### `py(cmd: str)` Writes `cmd` to `cache.py`, runs via `python`. Prefer native Python. ```python py("print(42)") ```

---

### `install(manager: str, pkg: str)` `sudo {manager} install {pkg}` – *needs passwordless sudo*. ```python install("apt", "vim") ```

---

### `ip() -> ipaddress.ip_address` Public IP via `https://ifconfig.me`. ```python ip() # IPv4Address('203.0.113.42') ```

---

*Lifecycle* 1. `mkdir ./uid/` 2. Write → exec → capture (if any) 3. `rm -rf ./uid/`

*Deps* `pip install psutil requests`

> *UUID-isolated, zero persistent state, sudo-aware.* Use responsibly. > by eotter-beep – Python 3.6+


Mercury VCS

Mercury VCS is a lightweight, beginner-friendly version control system with features Git doesn’t natively provide. It focuses on simplicity, workflow control, and commit rules enforcement for teams or solo developers. Features

    Commit Rules Enforcement – Define rules for commit messages or file structures to maintain a clean and consistent repository.
    Simplified Versioning – Create unique versions with new-ver and automatically prevent duplicates.
    Beginner-Friendly CLI – Commands are easy to remember and use:
        commit <file> – Save a file (or files) to Mercury.
        commit-msg <message> – Add a commit message (supports spaces).
        restart-branch <branch> – Restart a branch quickly.
        list-ver – List all repository versions.
        create-rules <message> – Create a commitrules.txt file.
        new-ver <version> – Create a new Mercury version.
        mercuryversion – Show Mercury VC version info.
    Lightweight and Focused – Avoids Git complexity while still providing essential version control functionality.


# TelUI

TelUI is a minimal Electron-based UI framework with reusable front-end primitives—colors, typography, layout, and micro-interactions—so you can prototype desktop UI ideas fast.

*GitHub:* [https://github.com/eotter-beep/telui](https://github.com/eotter-beep/telui)

## Features - Electron runner (`npm start`) for instant desktop previews - Tokenized CSS layers: `color.css`, `font.css`, `header.css`, `align.css` - Micro-interactions in `animation.css` (`.hover-fade`, `light`) - Google Fonts + optional `.arial` class - Drop-in icons (`icons/`) and warning component - Text color & background utilities (`color.css`)

## Quick Start

```bash git clone https://github.com/eotter-beep/telui.git cd telui npm install npm start ```

```html Example Usage

<link rel="stylesheet" href="font.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="color.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="header.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="animation.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="align.css">

<gentleblue> <header><h1>TelUI</h1></header> <p class="arial">Prototype copy</p> </gentleblue>

<center><button class="hover-fade funneldisplay">Hover me</button></center>

<warning><p>Something went wrong!</p></warning> <p class="greentext">Text in green</p> ```
