Hey HN!
After 6 years of R&D, our small team is excited to share our project TideCloak - an IAM designed to help developers move fast without worrying about catastrophic breaches or overpowered admins with keys to the kingdom.
Traditional IAMs rely on centralized authority - admins, root certificates, and decryption keys - which create glaring vulnerabilities in a breach. To address this, we’ve integrated Keycloak (Red Hat’s IAM) with a decentralized key architecture powered by our (acad

Hey HN,
I'd like to share a fun project I've been working on: mizu.js.
It's a js library that add functional attributes support into your html, designed to be a simple and flexible alternative to fully-fledged web frameworks (such as Vue, React, and Angular), while offering more capabilities than other lightweight options (like Alpine.js and htmx).
As it's written using modern ES features and due to its isomorphic nature, it can be run in both browsers and runtimes (Node, Deno, Bun) wi
I’ve been talking to a lot of junior designers lately. After one of these chats, I reflected on how my career evolved. Interestingly, I couldn’t say I was much different from today’s junior designers. What’s different today compared to a decade ago is the environment. The job market has changed for the worse, and design tools have bloomed. https://webdesignernews.com/reflecting-on-a-decade-in-product-design/

I have this habit where when I’m watching a TV show where I like to read about it on my phone while I’m watching it. Reviews, summaries, fan theories, whatever. Seems like that would be distracting — but I think it’s extra engaging sometimes. I’d often end up on Wikipedia where they do episode informational summaries in a particular layout where the small screen layout had a horribly obnoxious side... https://webdesignernews.com/responsive-tables-readable-paragraphs/
Over the past two decades I’ve been hearing people I’ve worked with and in the product community — other designers and PMs, clients when I ran an agency, founders and CEOs — saying they want designers to “design like Apple”. The problem has always been a chicken-and-egg one: to design like Apple, you need to prioritize simplicity in all parts of your organization (like Apple). https://webdesignernews.com/design-like-apple/
