Ask HN: Are There Any Application Launchers that are Terminal Emulator?

Fri, 01/24/2025 - 5:38pm

Application launchers should be terminal emulators.

I am a huge fan of Spotlight, Raycast, Albert, etc.

But they all have some kind of problem, like not being on that platform, or being proprietary, or being a nightmare to modify.

99% of the tools I use (calculator, dictionary) already exist on the command line, except they look ugly and are nowhere close to being "out of the box."

If one were to add good opening/hiding shortcuts, window size, suggestions, and a shell config to a terminal emulator it would be a perfect launcher app.

I know I am doing the typical "FOSS devs please do it for me" request, but I am considering doing it myself, unless someone already went down that rabbit hole before me.

Ask HN: How to automate collecting HAR file while user is browsing

Fri, 01/24/2025 - 5:29pm

Hello

We are facing an intermittent issue in our web application where for some users for some reasons http requests are ending in error ( 400s ) esp. during token refresh with authentication server.

Normally, we would ask user to generate the HAR ( HTTP archive file ) and we inspect to find the root cause. However, at this time it is challenging to collect the HAR file manually because the error is not consistent. Sometimes it seems to goes away but suddenly appears causing bad user experience.

It is also hard to add logs etc. because the token refresh happens on the client side from the browser so technically there is no traces of it on the server side.

I am looking into ways to automate generating the HAR file but it seems not straightforward to do it.

If anyone of you have faces similar issue in the past and find a way to add such error logging in a web service let me know. Any other thoughts and suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
