Show HN: Open Right Zoom, Open Source Alternative to Right Zoom for macOS

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:39am

I built a free open source alternative to Right Zoom for Mac.

it makes the green zoom button maximize windows instead of going fullscreen. Dock and menu bar stay visible, click again to restore. Works with any app.

Show HN: Form81 – 100% free form builder (free Typeform alternative)

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:37am

Most online form builders claim to be free, but their free tier is usually very limited - with unremovable branding, response limits, and many other restrictions.

Form81 is simply free, no paid plans, no catch.

Feature gating patterns in a multi-tenant Next.js SaaS

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 10:37am

Building a multi-tenant crew management app (Next.js 15, Convex, Clerk). Just shipped the feature tiering system across Free/Pro/Business/Enterprise plans. 25+ gates across every module in two commits.

Three enforcement patterns emerged. Soft limits query the current count from Convex, compare against a tier-specific cap, and render a counter component ("3 of 15 used") that swaps to an upgrade prompt near the limit. Hard gates check planTier from the workspace record and render a full overlay with upgrade CTA when the feature is above the user's tier. Preview gates are a middle ground: the list/summary view renders normally, but clicking into a detail view hits the gate. Used this for scheduling report drill-downs where showing the summary is a better sales tool than hiding it entirely.

The TierBadge component renders tier-colored pills (Free gets smoke, Pro gets honey, Business gets violet, Enterprise gets honey with border). Placed it in the sidebar nav, workspace switcher, billing page, and settings header. The Convex `getUserWorkspaces` query was extended to return `planTier` per workspace so the badge renders without extra lookups.

Tier assignment was the interesting design problem. Crew ratings and achievements went to Free because they drive engagement. Gating engagement to upsell felt counterproductive. Soft limits were set high enough that Free users hit real value before the cap (client tags at 15, crew certifications at 10, venue photos at 10). Hard gates protect operational leverage features: bulk gig actions, labor budgets, overtime rules.

The first commit touched 55 files. Second pass wired the remaining gates I missed and corrected several tier assignments. Not glamorous but having the enforcement pattern standardized made per-module wiring mechanical.

Ask HN: Do we need a standard way to signal "this site does not track you"?

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 9:43am

I run a few small websites/apps that deliberately avoid tracking technologies. They only use first-party session cookies and minimal server logs for operational purposes.

Interestingly, I’ve noticed that some users find this suspicious because there is no cookie banner... People may have become so used to seeing them that a site without one can look dubious or unprofessional. And some maintainers probably include them just to conform with common practice, or due to legal uncertainty.

So I’m wondering whether a simple, community-driven, public declaration could help. Something like a "No-Tracking Web Declaration". It could be a short document describing fair practices that websites could reference, for example:

- only first-party session cookies - server logs used only for operational purposes - etc.

A website could then display a small statement such as "This site follows the No-Tracking Web Declaration v1.0". This might help legitimate the approach, and give visitors and operators confidence that avoiding a cookie banner is actually compliant with applicable regulations.

I’m curious what the HN community thinks:

- Would something like this actually be useful? - Does anything similar already exist that I might have missed?

And I’d love feedback from developers or maintainers who actually run minimal or privacy-respecting websites.
