It kinda got me excited but I would’ve love to see a quick tour screencast or something.
sirwinsley··on Show HN: Bleep – Collect Everything Visually
Thank you!

I did spend some time ensuring core functionality is sound on mobile.

I have plans for a more integrated experience to allow users to share with Bleep using the native share functionality, but likely the rest of experience will remain web-based.

This is so needed. Have you considered a web version too? I’m thinking of how I would find it super useful when having meetings with coworkers that I’m trying to get to know and web feels more accessible in that context.

Not snarky at all.

Pinterest is primarily focused on images and is a social network with a set audience. While you can have a private experience there it’s not quite their intention.

Bleep is meant for personal/private use and it supports notes, images, links, and the ability to group them all in whatever hierarchy you see fit.

More block types and customization options are coming and ultimately the ability to decide how you want to share/collaborate on your content.

Hi all!

This is an MVP of something I’ve been working on for a while.

It started as a free form block text/layout editor like Notion but quickly realized I wanted something more visual, beautiful and personal by default.

I think I’m getting there but I also want to validate that this is something that other people want and learn from their needs.

Most tools for thoughts or bookmarking out there are made for work or focus on specific use cases while I wanted something a bit more personal and less prescriptive.

Hope that you find it useful and all feedback is welcome. Good or bad. I plan to make this be a source of income so this is super appreciated.

sirwinsley··on Show HN: Stop Putting AWS Credentials in GitHub Secrets
I remember receiving a bill for 5K from Amazon once. When inspecting I realized that someone had found my keys in a public GitHub repo I had and was using my account to mine bitcoins. Thankfully AWS support was understanding and forgave me that amount.

Other than never exposing keys like that I learned to never hide admin keys and to always create roles specific to the use case. It doesn’t fully protect you but at least it prevents abuse on your behalf.
