The cloud is rigged. we're building a better one

Thu, 03/27/2025 - 6:11am

the cloud is a walled garden built for profit [ not efficiency ]. you’re paying for idle, autoscaling is too slow, and serverless is a scam. locked in, overcharged, and out of options.

lttle.cloud is different. decentralized, open-source, and built for real performance [ sub-10ms cold start ], true pay-for-what-you-use pricing, and zero vendor lock-in. deploy anything as "serverless" from any docker image, no rewrites.

powered by the blockchain, with host nodes provided by regular people, and built in public, it’s transparent, efficient, and free from vendor lock-in. run your own private cloud or join the decentralized network.

more info here: https://hello.lttle.cloud

the cloud game is rigged. but we can try to fix it.

Show HN: My cousin in Morocco almost quit coding because of English

Thu, 03/27/2025 - 6:09am

Hey HN,

I’ve spent the last 2 years watching my cousin in Morocco struggle to learn Python. Not because he lacked the brains, but because every tutorial assumed fluency in English. Every new term meant 10 tabs of Google Translate.

Turns out, he’s not alone. 75% of the world’s population doesn’t speak English, yet 95% of coding resources are English. So we built FIKR: coding courses taught natively in French, Dutch and German (with more languages coming).

Yeah, you can find a random YouTube video explaining Python in French or Arabic. But stitching those into a learning path? It doesn't get the same results, also most of them only cover the basics.

We’re not another coding platform. We give the middle finger to the idea that you need English to build tech.

We’re launching in one week. First 100 people on the waitlist get 30% off.

Test our beta and if our French lesson references baguettes one more time or the Berlin subway example forgets Munich exists, tell us. We’ll fix it and credit you in the lesson notes.

Thank you for your time.

Show HN: I built a tool to "vibe solve" quadratic equations

Thu, 03/27/2025 - 5:36am

I recently started building calculators and got addicted. This is my attempt at building a calculator which doesn't just give the roots of the quadratic equation but also shows the steps to calculate them. Works for both real and imaginary roots. Requesting your feedback on how I can make it better/more useful. Thanks!
