Show HN: Hexi, modern header-only network binary serialisation for C++ hackers
Over the last few years, I've needed an easy way to quickly serialise and deserialise various network protocols safely and efficiently. Most of the libraries that existed at the time were either quite heavy, had less than stellar performance, or were an abstraction level above what I was looking for.
I decided to put together my own class to do the job, starting with an easy, low-overhead way to move bytes in and out of arbitrary buffers. Along the way, it ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: Beyond YC Match Making: How Do We Find a US CEO Co-Founder?**
We’re building Plexicus—an AI-powered ASPM platform that integrates open-source and commercial security tools with an agent that cuts remediation time by 95%. We’ve secured funding and have paying customers, but we’re based in Madrid, which sometimes limits our visibility in the US.

Ask HN: How do non-famous developers get invited to Lobsters?**
Based on my experience so far with lobste.rs, its goal is to limit aggressively who can post there. Also, it seems that a lot of posters there are more or less famous software engineers.
That said, I'm wondering how people get invited if you don't personally know any of the members

I made a software library for displaying piano music 7 years back, and recently ported it to the web (which is now easier than even ever).
It displays sheet music as you play, and let's you take snapshots of specific chords, then keeps a running list of chords as keyboard visuals (instead of just displaying sheet music).
Just a simple tool for songwriting/ figuring out songs by ear, or just understanding music key theory (which I'm admittedly a still a beginner at).

Show HN: An interactive Middle-Earth map
Hi HN, just sharing a small project I've been working on this last month.
This is an interactive map of Middle-Earth, dependency-free, developed with custom elements in Javascript.
I needed something light to focus on between 2 bottle feeding and changing sessions.

We Need a Class Action Lawsuit Against AI Companies
I'm losing count of the number of posts I'm reading by organizations with open websites, small projects, and individual developers maintaining side projects about the harm AI company's crawlers are causing.
They are not respecting \robots.txt\
and it's costing maintainers of open sites an enormous amount of time and money: time trying to keep their sites up and money for server bandwidth and compute.
We need someone to begin a class action lawsuit against the AI comp ... ⌘ Read more
