Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
It uses Let's Encrypt by default. We use delegated DNS to handle ACME challenge validation (we run the DNS, you just CNAME to us). This means you don't need to give us DNS credentials or anything. And for HA workloads it's great, because there's a central clearinghouse for certificates - so all the machines in your web farm (or whatever) get the same cert, but you don't run in to rate limits with LE.
We're recovering Windows Server guys so we made sure our automation works for painful windows workloads like IIS, Exchange etc. too.
We've had enough interest that we're building it out for real. Just left beta last month.
2. Released "Postlet" (https://github.com/freakynit/Postlet), a tiny markdown-based static blog generator with a plugin pipeline, markdown + frontmatter pages, and theme support. Demo: https://postlet.pagey.site/ .. working on still adding more features.
- Visual tool for building strategies
- Backtest on site or MT5 EA using same json configurations
- Running EA live (or paper mode) in prod automatically feeds the trades back to the site for analysis
- The thing I am most happy with: you can click any trade in backtest result and see exactly which rules were true at the bar that fired
You can try it in action w/o signup using taster page (https://foxtradetools.com/taster)
Solo dev. Open to any feedback.
I use it every morning for about 15 minutes. Review the cards, then 1 problem in the algorithms, 1 problem in concurrency, and I'm done.
