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).
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.).
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!
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
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 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.
