Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2024 brings us more love, peace and knowledge.

Merry Christmas to everyone on HN! May 2024 be a happy and successful year for all of us and may it also bring us more to read and learn. Reading is fundamental and on HN there is always something to read about. I have been on HN for 2 years, 7 months and 23 days and I look forward to remain a part of this wonderful community :).

Happy New Year!

I would also like to say that being a part of the Hacker News website and community is golden. I think that I have said enough...

Besides that, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Lmao.

One can simply set network.IDN_show_punycode to true in their about:config

Just wait and see till all those thirsty script kiddies start abusing these even more now.

On a side note, those who write router software like this need to step up their security and stop being lazy. Seriously.

Can confirm. https://spotify.com is now working fine.

It could also easily be used for phishing or IP logging purposes. Poor attempt though, almost everyone is now aware of unicode in domain names, and anyone techie enough would be able to spot it.

That's pretty much it. It's quite a useful tool if you need a quick way to calculate the checksum of a file using your web browser. Additionally, it might also be used as a library.

This is a lightweight web terminal emulator that offers a very simple and flexible API. It is entirely written in JavaScript and has zero dependencies. The purpose of it is to simplify the creation of web terminal interfaces, and to make the overall process of it very fun, smooth and hassle-free.

The entire project is licensed with GNU GPL-3.0.

Why shouldn't it be legal?

When you think a bit better about it, it's about the same as regular web browsing. Just automated or scripted.

I don't think there is much that can be done to fully prevent it either, so.

While this can be seen as somewhat useful, nothing stops you from deactivating breakpoints inside of the "Sources" section in devtools.

I also believe that the same anti-debugging technique is used by obfuscator.io, and is just a feature you can enable for when obfuscating your code on there. It's called "Debug Protection". It does about the same thing you shown in your blog post, making good use of the debugger statement.

This is just a quick and simple alternative to https://choosealicense.com

It uses the GitHub Licenses API to fetch the licenses.

I don't think that the ", initial-scale=1" would be necessary.

Nowadays, <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> works just fine.

I feel like this is a great idea, honestly.

But in my opinion I think that you should make the website fully work without the use of client-side JavaScript.

Not that I dislike JavaScript, in fact, I love it. And it's great! But there are several reasons I think that this would make sense doing.

Here is a detailed explanation for "why":

The website already works without the use of client-side JavaScript, only not the index.

If you for example go to: https://per.quest/https://example.com it will work just fine and redirect you to the generated MP3 file.

But if you put https://example.com inside of that input on the website index and have JavaScript disabled it simply won't work. There also is no notice that it does not work without JavaScript enabled.

The solution to this is simple and I think that it would not be hard to change the way you are getting the user given URL from your back-end. What I think would make more sense doing is to just make it work using a URL query parameter.

For example: https://per.quest?url=https://example.com

... which would then allow you to make use of HTML forms, and simply add the "name" attribute to the input with the value set to "url".

So, this would then work in both cases: when the user hit enter and/or pressed a button inside of the form.

Hope that you will agree with me on this!

What kind of spam do you refer to exactly?

I have just checked out your forum and it does not seem to have any sort of form protection (stuff like hidden form inputs or captchas to solve). This tells me that it would be pretty easy to create some automated script to overload your backend. Well, unless your backend has specific checks or ways to prevent this.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

basically, made for fun. I hope someone benefits from it?

Thanks for your feedback.

That is fair, to be quite honest. Even though I don't see JavaScript as some kind of threat, your point still stands. Note that leader does not disrespect user privacy in any way, and that it is open source, which means you could modify it to your liking. By this I also want to say that it does not include unnecessary code, and that everything dependant on JavaScript is there with a reason (to make the website functional).

What leader aims to do is to speed up and simplify the process of creating your very own simple blog, and I think it does a great job at that.

Since it does not require any kind of back-end processing, and is fully handled via front-end, I am unable to make it work without the use of JavaScript.

The only way would be to make it support static site generation.

I agree with you. I have updated the title to: "Leader: intuitive and light blog base for the modern web."

Correct, it is my creation.
