As noted above, I'm not the creator of Paseo, just a big fan. Beautiful is just ways to describe it (along with convenient, and powerful) since it has a very focused and clean UI. Especially compared to many open source projects, which often don't put in that much effort or are unabashedly vibe-coded.
Of course it is open source so I hope some of the designers/people who've commented on this post can maybe contribute ideas to improve it even more. I have noticed a few places where some common actions take 1 or 2 more clicks or taps than they should - things can always be a bit more convenient and beautiful.
But overall I'm incredibly impressed and you can see some examples of the focus on simplicity and a nice UI, and follow the creator here: https://x.com/moboudra
what is the goal of this software? how close is it to success?
measuring lines of code is meaningless without its real world or business impact. apologies if this is described in the docs, went through the repo but couldn’t tease that out
It would be really nice to have a tag on HN to filter out LLM-generated, or at least partly AI-generated content like this.
If an article makes it to the front page despite being AI-generated it probably has some interesting points or ideas, but it's unfortunate that people seeem to choose the speed and style of LLM writing over the individual style and choice that made the writing of yesteryear more interesting and unique.
This was published by an anti-vaxxer/vaccine denier and also seems to be AI-generated. Would recommend linking to the original study instead. The homepage of the site includes articles like "Do Viruses Exist?" "(POLL) 96% support federal control of DC to fight crime" "Autism Spectrum Disorders: Is Immunoexcitotoxicity the Link to the Vaccine Adjuvants? The Evidence" and so does his twitter page: https://x.com/NicHulscher.
Vaccinated: One Man's Quest to Defeat the World's Deadliest Diseases
Describes how Maurice Hilleman invented 40 vaccines, including for eight of the most common diseases in the US, over a 36 year career at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Merck & Co. His vaccines are estimated to save 8 million lives each year.
I'd just like to mention that if the community was determined enough we'd
1. Demand removal of analytics software
2. If no action, fork and re-publish.
Obviously folks who aren't technical/didn't see these threads wouldn't get the benefit of an update.
This is something where an explicitly pro-opensource and anti-tracking (or at least minimal tracking) policy by the browser extension stores would be valuable. The store itself could recommend the no-tracking community version instead. Of course this would have to happen on an individual basis and be carefully managed as so not to be abused.
