At the time we were using that particular library heavily at WizeHire. I had built the tool for personal convenience. rmccue/requests was likely one of the first "generators".
I expect that we'd accept a PR for PHP curl library implementation. Having a non-third-party option would be valuable.
Original author here. Many smart people have contributed code over the years, but one warrants special mention.
About a year ago, verhovsky showed up out of nowhere. He rewrote the core of the application and increased the professionalism across the board. (dedicated domain, github page hosting, UI refresh, privacy improvements, and much more)
The tree-sitter PR is a monster achievement: https://github.com/curlconverter/curlconverter/pull/278
Search for parseAnsiCString in there. I don't think that had ever been implemented in JavaScript before.
For you, verhovsky, 10x engineer might be an understatement. Thank you!
WizeHire | Engineers | US-ONLY, REMOTE, FULL-TIME, INTERNS WizeHire is a HR tech SaaS company that helps small businesses hire like pros.
We have about 40 employees and have been remote-first since day one. We recently closed our series A and we’re rapidly growing!
This is a particularly good time to join. The current engineering team is five people, and frankly, we work well together! We’ve laid a strong foundation of trust needed for a larger org.
While we’re proud of what we built, we’re not standing still. We will pursue multiple green-field product opportunities in the next 12 months.
Stack: Django, Python 3, React, MySQL, and a little PHP 7.
We're looking for full-stack engineers (individual contributors) at all levels of experience. If you’d like to really focus on one area of the stack, I still would love to talk to you. Two of our current engineers found us through our previous HN Who’s Hiring post in March 2019.
Contact nick@wizehire.com and we can chat in more detail.
How could I forget, PR #100.
Fyi, Go received about 1200 conversions last month. Thanks!
Author, here. curlconverter gets about 17k unique users per month. The code generated by this tool is probably in production all over the world.
But the codebase needs maintenance! I hired a junior developer (cf512) to do about 40 hours of dev work last month, but that contract has ended and I'd appreciate more volunteers. All the code is open source.
I see a few bug reports down thread. Please open tickets.
A big thanks to the top contributors, csells and jgroom33. Many others have pitched in over the last five years. Also, big thanks to Daniel Stenberg for writing curl in the first place.

We have about 20 employees and have been remote-first since day one. We're rapidly growing!
This is a critical period. The decisions we make in the next 12 to 18 months will determine the trajectory of the business for the next five years. We have built a solid (profitable) service used by millions of people, but we're still close to the beginning of the journey.
Help us grow, shape the culture, and make a fantastic product.

Grow The Richmond (https://growtherichmond.com/) will have a table set up tomorrow at Balbooa Fright Fest. Come say hi!
There is a growing group of people on the west side of the city who do want density.
The favored candidate in the D1 supervisor race (Marjan) fielded a question on a Geary subway line about an hour ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/58i5wa/hi_red...
She confirms the general sentiment in this HN thread, that nimbyism is to blame for poor infrastructure.
We have a facebook group of Richmond District residents who support housing and infrastructure. http://growtherichmond.com/
I built this! It looks like there's a lot of excitement about generating Go code. If someone wants to send a pull request incorporating the Go generator, I'll happily accept it.
Indeed - San Francisco, CA - FULL-TIME
We're looking for engineers, designers, and product managers for our SOMA office. Come have lunch if you're in the area.
Our main San Francisco product is a single-page webapp built in React.
ssh config support is the first thing on the roadmap. I'd be happy to take a pull request for it.
Good find. The context menu is definitely the UX holy grail. Right now I'm probably not going to spend time on the clipboard approach, but it sounds workable.
Going forward, I'll add support for node, maybe java. There are plenty of other languages out there that I'll take pull requests for!
A good portion of these don't appear to be functioning very well in Chromium on Ubuntu. Is anyone noticing broken apps on other platforms?
Used it for an internal app last year at a certain big blue company. People claim it's light years better than struts, but I would never want to use it in a personal project.
It's definitely on my summer to-do list. You're the first person to ask.
There's a publicly available implementation of a perceptual hashing algorithm called phash at http://phash.org. I use some of their c++ code to detect reposts on an image sharing site I run (http://lolstack.com).
I really like this idea. What tech are you using? Twilio API?
What kind of advertising do you have in mind?
This is definitely a neat idea, but I think it's a tough sell for the social media crowd. Unless I live in a high crime area, I don't really feel the need to tell my friends about the service.
I'd say your best bet is getting reviewed by some high traffic blogs.
I'm planning to implement the following as possible purchases in a section of the site called the lolstore:
-any color username
-avatar image
-more powerful upvotes (2x)
-raffle tickets to win real life items
The idea is to reward users for submitting quality content. For example, if you submit an image that gets >100 upvotes, that's worth 100 lolbucks.
I'll fudge the remaining slots and see what happens if I reduce the size of the title logo. Thanks!
Thanks, Justin. Design is a challenging area for me. I'll try and massage the consistency into something more appealing in the coming days. The vote button trouble is concerning. What browser are you using?
The UT ECE department does a pretty good job trying to remedy this, but ends up having the opposite problem. Yale Patt's EE306, Intro to Computing, takes the class from transistors up to assembly on a simplified architecture.
Intro to Programming helps students get their feet wet in C and the subsequent Data Structures and Algorithms courses are entirely Java. Intro to Microcontrollers is C and assembly.
Here's where UTECE falls flat, with respect to startups. After getting a decent foundation in "Real Programming", further specialization in tools useful for web startups (php/ruby/jquery) is left as an exercise to the student. Case in point, I'm a 3rd year Comp. E and I have yet to hear the word "database" uttered in a classroom.
A web apps class doesn't even have to be good. I would take it just to meet other hackers who are probably self-taught by now anyway.
