Show HN: A "Buy Me a Coffee" Button for Crypto Donations

Hacker News - Sun, 04/06/2025 - 2:51pm

I am building a simple donation platform where creators can accept tips in crypto — kind of like “Buy Me a Coffee,” but Web3-native.

No signups required for supporters. Just share your donation page and anyone can send MATIC, ETH, or any ERC-20 token directly to your wallet. It’s gas-efficient and built on Polygon.

Each creator gets a customizable page with a short URL and optional message board. Everything is non-custodial — you own your keys and your funds.

Show HN: YouTubeGO – Open-source YouTube/audio downloader built in Python

Hacker News - Sun, 04/06/2025 - 2:44pm

Hey HN,

I've been working on a cross-platform, fully open-source YouTube/media downloader called *YouTubeGO*.

Built with *Python + PyQt5*, it provides: - MP4/MP3 downloads using `yt-dlp` - Playlist support - System tray integration - Download queue + scheduler - Drag & drop support - FFmpeg detection for audio extraction - Modular code structure (core/ui/tests)

Why I built it: Most alternatives are either Electron-based (bloated) or CLI-only. I wanted something lightweight, native, and clean that just works on Linux, Windows and macOS.

Ask HN: How do you write performant, scalable, testable and readable React code?

Hacker News - Sun, 04/06/2025 - 2:44pm

However I go about building React projects, they _ always_ turn into an unreadable buggy mess. How do you do it? How do you make sure your project is well-structured, DRY, readable, testable and bug-free?

Show HN: Latitude.sh Databases – Simple PostgreSQL DBaaS on Bare Metal

Hacker News - Sun, 04/06/2025 - 2:00pm

Hi HN,

Gabriel here, one of the developers at Latitude.sh (we're a bare metal cloud provider).

Over the past year or so, I've been the primary developer building Latitude.sh Databases – our take on a managed PostgreSQL service. The core idea was to offer a straightforward and competitively priced option for developers who need reliable PostgreSQL without overly complex configurations, leveraging the performance benefits of running directly on bare metal.

It runs on our global bare metal infrastructure. Key features we've implemented include:

* Built-in monitoring & connection pooling

* IP Address Whitelisting (Trusted Sources)

* Automated backups configured directly to your own S3 bucket (giving you control over storage and potentially costs)

* An optional integration with Supabase, allowing you to use parts of their dashboard for enhanced usability with your database.

Under the hood, it's built on Kubernetes running on our bare metal servers, using the CloudNativePG operator to manage the PostgreSQL instances. We've found this operator approach works well for handling stateful database workloads in K8s, challenging the old notion that databases don't belong there.

The service stemmed from internal needs and early interest gathered from a waitlist (~300 signups). It's currently live and available for use.

We're launching it here on HN because we'd genuinely appreciate your feedback on:

* The overall developer experience and UI simplicity.

* The current feature set (especially the S3 backup and Supabase integration).

* Performance perceptions (given the bare metal base).

* Our pricing model's competitiveness and clarity.

* Any technical aspects of the implementation (running PG on K8s/bare metal).

Happy to answer any questions you have!

Thanks for looking!
