Hi HN! I made my first iOS app - users can swap out an ex or friend for someone else in their photo library. I did this as a bit of a lark. I hope you find it entertaining, at least. At its most serious, it’s a Black Mirror-esque note on the future we’re enabling in the AI age. It’s not an app I’d ever use or recommend people use. I suppose that’s the question I’m asking myself, and now you, with this - while I intentionally built something I wouldn’t want to see in the world, how are you dealing with the feeling that software you build is or isn’t making the world a better pl…

Show HN: FeatureFlags.app – Feature Management for .NEThttps://featureflags.app

Feature flags are common these days, and the .NET feature management library provides a lot of the plumbing to make them easy to get started with. The missing piece is a UI for managing flags - unless you are using Azure App Configuration. Relying on appSettings.json gets awkward when non-technical users need to change flags, deploys are slow, or the application is running in a distributed environment. I built FeatureFlags.app to fill that gap - a simple UI for managing .NET feature flags that doesn't require Azure App Configuration. It's still early, so I'd love feedback from anyone who ha…

Follow-up to my 512 MB Spring Boot experiment: I tried the same application on a 256 MB Alpine VPS. JDK 21 struggled badly at this size, but with JDK 25 and a tuned 80 MB heap, the app plus lightweight monitoring completed a one-hour run without restarts or OOM kills. Still not something I’d recommend for normal production, but the difference was interesting. submitted by /u/fykup [link] [comments]
