Show HN: Over 600 CSS Animations to Code

Sat, 11/23/2024 - 2:37pm

Hey HN,

We’re excited to share Gradienty's CSS Animation Generator designed to make web animations intuitive and accessible for developers and designers at any level. Whether you’re new to CSS animations or a seasoned pro looking to save time, Gradienty equips you with the tools to create beautiful animations with zero coding headaches.

Key Features: 1. 600+ Pre-Built Animations: From subtle hover effects to complex keyframe sequences, all categorized for easy navigation. 2. Visual Editor with Live Preview: See your animations in action as you tweak timing, easing, delay, and iterations. 3. Responsive Design Previews: Test animations across layouts for desktop and mobile compatibility. 4. Multiple Preview Objects: Visualize animations on text, buttons, boxes, circles, and more. 5. One-Click Code Export: Generate production-ready CSS with proper vendor prefixes, ready to drop into your project. 6. Zero-Dependency Animations: Works flawlessly across all modern browsers.

Why We Built This:

As developers, we often found animations to be either overly complex to implement manually or limited by pre-made libraries. Gradienty bridges this gap by offering both flexibility and ease of use, helping you create animations that look and perform great—without sacrificing development time.

Who It’s For:

Beginners: Experiment with animations visually without writing a single line of code. Designers: Focus on creativity while leaving the technical aspects to the generator. Developers: Save time with ready-to-use animations that can be customized and exported instantly.

What’s Next:

We’re working on adding community features like user-created animation libraries, animation presets for specific design systems, and integration guides for popular frameworks.

We’d love to hear your feedback! Check it out here: Gradienty

Let us know what you think or if there are features you’d love to see!

Ask HN: Resources for SQL database schema design/performance?

Sat, 11/23/2024 - 2:35pm

I have a solid understanding of the basics of relational DB performance (Indexing, different types of scans etc...) but I always seem to run into situations where I have complex and slow SQL queries and I'm not sure how to optimize them. I've often heard the rule of thumb that any user-facing query that takes longer than 100ms is too slow but I've never seen that play out in my experience with many complex application queries taking a handful of seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions for required reading related to performant data architecture?

I've gotten better at reading "Explain Analyze" output but I have trouble coming up with actionable changes to make based on the query plan.

Do you have any suggestions on RSS readers?

Sat, 11/23/2024 - 2:25pm

I've been trying to find a good one, but many of the features I want are not written down somewhere. In roughly decreasing order of priority, I'd like something: * That doesn't automatically delete the items in your feed, either because you have too many or because it's been too long. Alternately, it could be set ridiculously high (by quick estimates, if it can handle 1 million items, that's enough to deal with 250 new items, every single day, for 10 years, so I'd say that would be high enough, and quite frankly, if I run up against that limit, I can probably delete some). * Free, but that seems fairly incompatible with the first thing. Self-hosted, possibly? * That has some relatively easy way of bypassing paywalls. * That allows for manual tags (not just folders, because things can generally only go in one folder) of either feeds or articles. * That seems relatively stable (not as big of an issue since it's fairly easy to migrate, but it would still be nice).

Do you have any suggestions?

Is there demand for building custom AI agents as a freelancer?

Sat, 11/23/2024 - 2:23pm

I've built a few AI agents at this point at my job.

Is there demand for doing it full-time as a freelancer?

Ask HN: Are there any LLM summary features that don't suck?

Sat, 11/23/2024 - 2:20pm

Every tech company and their uncle seems to be rolling out AI features these days, especially ones that promise to summarize all the stuff you’ve got stored in their platforms. From Gmail and Slack to smaller players like Gitbook, everyone’s jumping on the bandwagon—usually behind a shiny premium paywall, of course.

Since we rely on a mix of these big and small tools, we decided to put their new AI toys to the test. We asked them to summarize emails, messages, posts—you name it. The verdict? Meh.

The summaries they spit out are all over the place. They either miss the key points entirely or focus on the most random, irrelevant details. It’s like asking someone for a quick recap of a meeting, and they tell you what snacks were on the table.

So now I’m left wondering: is it just me? Or is Google, Slack, and the rest of the AI crew genuinely struggling to make these features work the way they’re hyped up to?
