New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Auto-generate an OpenAPI spec by listening to localhost

Show HN: Auto-generate an OpenAPI spec by listening to localhost 15 by adawg4 | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! We've developed OpenAPI AutoSpec, a tool for automatically generating OpenAPI specifications from localhost network traffic. It’s designed to simplify the creation of API documentation by just using your website or service, especially useful when you're pressed for time. Documenting endpoints one by one sucks. This project originated from us needing it at our past jobs when building 3rd-party integrations. It acts as a local server proxy that listens to your application’s HTTP traffic and automatically translates this into OpenAPI 3.0 specs, documenting endpoints, requests, and responses without much effort. Installation is straightforward with NPM, and starting the server only requires a few command-line arguments to specify how and where you want your documentation generated ex. npx autospec --portTo PORT --portFrom PORT --filePath openapi.json It's design

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How common is developer burnout? Have you ever been burnt out?

Ask HN: How common is developer burnout? Have you ever been burnt out? 2 by Desafinado | 0 comments on Hacker News. When I graduated from college I found a job working for a Fortune 500 where I completed a pretty complex project. I was there for two years and it felt like a stressful meat grinder. The experience was so bad that I quickly pivoted to a less stressful role, and have been there for quite some time now. This has got me wondering: how stressful do people find the software industry at large? There seems to be a big draw for young developers to try to go FAANG, but honestly, these companies just sound like another high-performance meat grinder. You get paid a lot but are constantly under scrutiny. And smaller companies are all going pseudo-agile to try to squeeze every last ounce from their developers. This makes me wonder if finding a low-key, sane culture is the key to sustainability in the industry, and avoiding burn out.

New top story on Hacker News: Launch HN: Soundry AI (YC W24) – Music sample generator for music creators

Launch HN: Soundry AI (YC W24) – Music sample generator for music creators 6 by kantthpel | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone! We’re Mark, Justin, and Diandre of Soundry AI ( https://soundry.ai/ ). We provide generative AI tools for musicians, including text-to-sound and infinite sample packs. We (Mark and Justin) started writing music together a few years ago but felt limited in our ability to create anything that we were proud of. Modern music production is highly technical and requires knowledge of sound design, tracking, arrangement, mixing, mastering, and digital signal processing. Even with our technical backgrounds (in AI and cloud computing respectively), we struggled to learn what we needed to know. The emergence of latent diffusion models was a turning point for us just like many others in tech. All of a sudden it was possible to leverage AI to create beautiful art. After meeting our cofounder Diandre (half of the DJ duo Bandlez and expert music producer), we formed a

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Godspeed is a fast, 100% keyboard oriented todo app for Mac

Show HN: Godspeed is a fast, 100% keyboard oriented todo app for Mac 83 by DanielDe | 38 comments on Hacker News. Hi everybody, today I'm launching version 1.0 of Godspeed, a todo manager built with two priorities in mind: speed and 100% keyboard orientation. Every action in Godspeed can be done from your keyboard and will respond instantly. It's like Superhuman for your todo list. Godspeed has everything you expect in a todo manager like shared lists, labels, smart lists, boolean search operators, and cloud sync. If you're already a user of an app like Todoist or OmniFocus you should be able find everything you need in Godspeed. I think the most appealing thing to most HN users would be the keyboard orientation. Literally every single action in Godspeed is doable from your keyboard. I'm so serious about this that I built "hardcore mode" to completely disable the mouse - this both helps you break the habit of reaching for your mouse, and keeps us honest abo
