Show HN: Another Yt-Dlp WrapperI've recently been working on a computer vision project and needed to download quite a lot of sample clips from YouTube. The existing online tools are littered with ads, watermarks or paywalls just for >360p quality videos. I discovered yt-dlp but it wasn't the most user friendly, so I built a desktop GUI wrapper to speed up my workflow.yt-clipper lets you download specific segments from YouTube videos without grabbing the entire file. You paste a YouTube URL, set your start and end times, pick your quality, and download exactly what you need. No ads, no artificial limits beyond what YouTube itself imposes, no account required.The tool runs yt-dlp under the hood but wraps it in a simple interface. You get the power of yt-dlp without dealing with command line arguments or documentation. Works on Mac and Windows (sorry Linux users).Built this because I was tired of downloading 20-minute videos when I only needed 30-second clips for training data.
Ask HN: Ex-postdoc in physics feeling directionless. How to get out of it?I’ve wrapped up a postdoc in physics after a long run through high school, an undergraduate degree at a top university, and a PhD from another elite institution. I’ve been following the “usual path” for years—just keep moving forward out of habit.However, chronic illness, a lack of motivation, and depression have made the past few years extremely unproductive. I’m not interested in continuing in academia (perhaps I never was and wanted to please people), and I don’t want a job that will feel like a soul‑crushing grind.I’m currently unemployed. I’ve applied to more than 50 positions but haven’t received any responses, and the job boards feel like they’re showing me a very narrow set of options. I need a few months to prepare for interviews properly (Leetcode is so hard), and bills are approaching.I’m not sure whether I should take a break to recover or keep pushing. The thought of all those years spent studying, presenting, and publishing feels pointless when nothing tangible has materi

Ask HN: How to become a better software engineer? All my jobs are gluing stuffNearly all my work experience has just been gluing things together. Maybe it's jangling an API response into a front-end model to display to the user, or very domain-specific things like one specific algorithm to reject outlier data points, or similar.I'm doing some leetcode problems and finding it very disconnected from the likely jobs I'll have in the future. I actually have a lot of fun with it since I've been out of school for 15 years now and it really gets me thinking. But it's also frustrating because I know with about a 100% chance that these skills won't be used in a job. I'm quite certain that my success in a future role will be dependent on my ability to learn the narrow domain problems the company will solve.So I both 1) want to be hireable - gotta know my data structures and algorithms, I get it; and 2) have more skill in solving real-world problems.But grinding leetcode doesn't make you a better software engineer (right?)Previously I've never had a problem with this, as m

Show HN: AuthPress – Advanced WordPress 2FA PluginI've been working on AuthPress, a comprehensive two-factor authentication plugin for WordPress that started as a simple Telegram-based 2FA solution and has evolved into a flexible multi-provider authentication system. What makes AuthPress different: • Multiple Auth Providers: Telegram, Email, TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.), Recovery codes, plus extensible support for SMS, Passkeys, and custom implementations • Developer-Friendly Architecture: Clean API for creating custom 2FA providers - you can integrate with any authentication service (Twilio SMS, Push notifications, Hardware tokens, etc.) • Professional Admin Interface: Comprehensive logging, user management, and monitoring tools built with WordPress best practices • Security-First: Rate limiting, encrypted storage, activity monitoring, and protection against brute force attacks The Journey: Started as a Telegram-only plugin (because who doesn't want 2FA codes via Telegram bot?), but realized the WordPress ecosystem needed

Show HN: Beyond – Dynamic Pricing App for Short-Term RentalsHey HN, We built a mobile app for short-term rental hosts and property managers to manage dynamic pricing, bookings, and calendars on the go. Our team has worked on revenue management for hospitality since 2013, and we’ve seen that many hosts (ourselves included) are rarely behind a desk—they’re out in the field, meeting owners, handling check-ins, or updating prices from their phones at odd hours. We wanted to fix a longstanding pain point: revenue management software for our space has always been web-first and clunky on mobile. This was frustrating, as over 60% of internet traffic is now mobile, and property managers need to react to market changes and new bookings quickly, no matter where they are. Here's what the new app does: Instantly adjust prices for listings, apply overrides, or respond to spikes in demand right from a phone. See each new booking as it happens (with details), so revenue planning is less guesswork. Access all property calendars in a streamlined, mobile-friendly
Show HN: Daffodil – Open-Source Ecommerce Framework to connect to any platformHello everyone!I’ve been building an Open Source Ecommerce framework for Angular called Daffodil. I think Daffodil is really cool because it allows you to connect to any arbitrary ecommerce platform. I’ve been hacking away at it slowly (for 7 years now) as I’ve had time and it's finally feeling “ready”. I would love feedback from anyone who’s spent any time in ecommerce (especially as a frontend developer).For those who are not javascript ecosystem devs, here’s a demo of the concept: https://demo.daff.io/For those who are familiar with Angular, you can just run the following from a new Angular app (use Angular 19, we’re working on support for Angular 20!) to get the exact same result as the demo above:```bash ng add @daffodil/commerce ```I’m trying to solve two distinct challenges:First, I absolutely hate having to learn a new ecommerce platform. We have drivers for printers, mice, keyboards, microphones, and many other physical widgets in the operating system, why not have them for ec
Show HN: Bulletty, a pretty TUI feed reader that stores articles as MarkdownHello HN community,I'd like to show this project I've been working for a few months. It's yet another TUI feed reader, but a bit different from the other alternatives available. First, I wanted to have all my feed entries downloaded locally, in a way that I could decide how to store and sync those files. Second important aspect would be have it look and feel good, still running on a terminal, so I could SSH into my VPS from anywhere and run it.So I created bulletty. It's a TUI RSS/ATOM reader written in Rust and ratatui, that is looking good and feels just right to use. Of course, all I've done so far was to fulfill my needs, but I think it's already in a good state that it can be used and appreciated by others as well.For the feeds, I implemented something similar to an Obisidian vault. The feed categories are directories in your system and the entries are just markdown files. All your library is within `~/.local/share/bulletty`, so that you can sync and backup that the way you want.T
