  7. Ghost

    Independent technology for modern publishing, memberships, subscriptions and newsletters.

    Project mention: Good Careers at Bad Companies | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-05

    OP/author here! Apologies about the malware and captcha. It looks like my site was exploited by CVE-2026-26980 affecting all Ghost sites pre v6.19 [1][2] An API key was hijacked to inject malicious JS into every page that looks like a cloudflare captcha; it seems that the JS only targeted windows users, so I didn't catch it before I shared the post widely.

    The site has been upgraded to 6.44 to close the vulnerability, I rotated every API key and account credential, and both manually and programmatically scrubbed every instance I could find of the code injection across the database. I think we're clear now!

    Sorry to anyone caught by this and thank you to folks for flagging it (and thanks to the HN team for letting me follow up on this after comments were closed). I'm seriously mortified. X_X

    Node.js Production Process Manager with a built-in Load Balancer.

    Project mention: PM2 process management for Node.js - Why You Need PM2 Process... | dev.to | 2026-01-02

    Setting this up is a breeze. I’ll walk you through the steps I use for every project. Whether it’s a small side project or a big enterprise app, the process is the same. First, you need to have Node. js installed. Then, you can grab the PM2 on GitHub package.

    Project mention: How to Convert Supplier CSVs to Shopify/Amazon/WooCommerce Without Uploading to a Server | dev.to | 2026-06-01

    The decision to process everything in the browser wasn't just about cost savings (zero server bills). It's a privacy feature: supplier inventory data, wholesale prices, and margin calculations never leave the user's machine. Technically, the app uses Papa Parse for CSV and SheetJS for XLSX, both loaded dynamically from CDN. The parsed rows are stored in a simple JavaScript array — no WebAssembly, no worker pool, just plain array operations that complete in under 50ms for typical supplier files.

    Project mention: Ask HN: Streaming a Bittorent Video from a Webpage? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-29

    WebTorrent works on the browser but I'm not sure if this is what you're asking for

  20. Standard

    🌟 JavaScript Style Guide, with linter & automatic code fixer

    Project mention: Birth of Prettier | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-09

    Sounds similar to my personal history of adopting StandardJS (https://github.com/standard/standard) as soon as it appeared, doing the same at the org I was at the time. Based on memory, seems StandardJS appeared before prettier in the ecosystem?

    Still to this day I just use standard when starting a new project, not even sure what the difference against prettier is, it's more or less the same as far as I can tell but maybe faster?

  21. Mongoose

    MongoDB object modeling designed to work in an asynchronous environment.

    Project mention: 7 Hidden Security Vulnerabilities in Modern Node.js Applications | dev.to | 2026-05-15
