Show HN: Watch random code typed out on an MS-DOS IDE

Mon, 07/27/2026 - 12:18am

As a software dev, I really enjoy having live coding videos playing in the background while I work. But it's surprisingly difficult to find hour+ long videos of coding without commentary on Youtube.

What I really wanted was an infinite coding video, so I built one. Pick your IDE/monitor/ambience of choice, hit the Screensaver button, put it on a second monitor or TV, and enjoy infinite coding ASMR.

Hi HN,

I built CarbonSheets over the weekend.. a simple and free cheatsheet portal where you can host and share your documentation and cheatsheets directly in your own GitHub repository with minimal setup.

Key Features: Self-hosted content: Keep your cheatsheets in your own Git repos. Developer UX: Built-in keyboard shortcuts, customizable view modes, and a distraction-free Zen mode. Rich Formatting & Tools: Powered by a flexible JSON schema with an in-app editor and schema validator. Support mermaid JS, Syntax highlighting, callouts, results section etc. Exporting: Export cheatsheets directly to PNG or PDF.

Links: Live App: carbonsheets.vercel.app Instructions and Clone-able GitHub Repo to host your own: github.com/elnoxvie/carbonsheet

(opinion) I'd love to hear your thoughts on the app!

Show HN: Injectable time and timers with custom Date types for TypeScript

Sun, 07/26/2026 - 11:49pm

I find TypeScript js/node environment is missing a Time-Provider (just like *.*NET TimeProvider for instance ships with its framework).

So for this purpose I built a small library (@time-provider) tailored for js/node environment.

Obviously the goal is to both avoid using global monkey-patching with fake-timers or re-writing your clock interface... and still use your date library (native or custom).

I propose four clock strategies: system (real time), fixed manual (advance time explicitly), and sequential (replay of a sequence of timestamps).

I also benchmarked slightly better performances than jest / sinon.

The project is still young, so the API may still receive refinements as real usage appears.

I would be happy to hear feedback on this ! Take care.

You can check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/jaenyf/time-provider

Show HN: Neubook – An ePub reader with reading focus features

Sun, 07/26/2026 - 10:33pm

Hi HN, I've always felt reading on phone is harder. Maybe it's due to my low attension. I tried to build a reader which breaks the whole book into chunks which felt easier to eyes and to brain. This also include an article and RSS reader so that we can share an Article to Neubook and read them without any distractions. Currently I am testing some audiobook conversion features also I'd love to know if anyone feels this useful other than me. The app is available on Google play and Appstore . I got some initial downloads from these stores but would love some genuine opinions from you all. Thanks
