Hi! I wanted to share my little "adventure" that I had in the past ~2 weeks. Basically, I got tired of constant thinking and I decided to build something, anything.

By accident I learned about thing called WebAssembly (basically you can execute pretty complicated programs locally in the browser without sending anything anywhere) so I immediately assumed that it could be used for a set of small, private tools.

Usually I am building with Python, Django, PostgreSQL, hosting it on PythonAnywhere. So this time I decided that I will step out of my comfort zone even further! So I went with: - Rust (for tools that will be compiled to WebAssembly) - Zola (static site generator since I don't need anything "dynamic") - AWS S3 + AWS CloudFront (for hosting this static website) (I even used AWS to generate my SSL certificate)

Let me know what you think, and of course if I can already sell my website for million dollars :D

Cheers!

Would it be better to post is as Show HN?

Ohhhh, I had no idea about this! To be honest this is my first post on Hacker News ever.

Do you think that I should "hide" this post and write it again with this "Show HN"?

Anyway, thank you for sharing!

I would hide it and repost it as Show HN.

It’s more likely to get good feedback.

Done! Thank you for spending the time explaining this to me. I clicked "hide" on this post and wrote one with "Shown HN" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43239066

Thanks!
