crolek··on Launch HN: Piccolo (YC W18) – Camera for controlling your home with gestures
First off, signed up. This looks like a pretty sweet tool for home automation.

I'm slowly adding home automation to my house, but I'm a little more privacy oriented. I totally recognize I might not be your target audience with some of my constraints. Couple questions: If the service is paid (monthly or for a 1 time app purchase); how much is getting published to your servers? Because I like the control over something as intrusive as cameras in my house I'd prefer to self-host as much as I can.

Does it have to be the camera you provide/sell or could a high enough quality camera do that?

crolek··on Usage Plans for AWS API Gateway
I would suggest checking out https://claudiajs.com/. I used it for a few quick API Gateway to Lambda things and it seems to be pretty sweet so far.
crolek··on Building a testable Go web app
They switched from angular to essentially a static site for SEO reasons. I wonder if they're batch generating the static pages or making them dynamically on request.
crolek··on Building Sourcegraph, a large-scale code search engine in Go
I've used the "first" (?) version of Sourcegraph and now this new one, and I have to say I'm a huge fan. I'm learning Go in the evenings and I was struggling to grasp some of the concepts in Go and how to use the Gorilla package. Personally, I learn better after I skim the API, look at an example and rinse/repeat as needed. For me, Sourcegraph is a great way to help speed up that process of finding that one example that helps make whatever it is "click".

I've been using their Chrome Extension because it injects their stuff right onto Github pages. Now all they need to do is make one for Firefox, so I can go back to Firefox.

Disclaimer: I meet Quinn at GopherCon and we talked about Sourcegraph. I loved the idea then, and I still do now.

crolek··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
