So happy to introduce GrowChief (AGPL-3).Growchief is an open-source social media automation tool (aka social scraper).
It allows you to create a workflow (step-by-step) for interacting with different social media accounts, such as sending a connection request, following up with a message, and so on.
Unlike other platforms, GrowChief does not work with search criteria.
You&#x27;ll need to specify the account email, URL, or company information to connect with it. I do not encourage spam.I had tons of fun working on this project 
Tech Stack:
- PNPM (Monorepo)
- React (Vite)
- NestJS (Backend, Workers)
- Prisma (Default to PostgreSQL)
- Temporal (Orchestrator)- It takes care of concurrency — even if you create 10 workflows with the same account and trigger all of them at the same time, it will make an action every 10 minutes, never having multiple scrapings happening at the same time.- Enrichment waterful - when you don&#x27;t provide the account URL but other parameters like email, we use multiple providers to figure out the profile URL.
It takes care of your working hours — you can use the API to keep adding leads to your workflows, but they will only be processed during working hours.- Proxies are allowed — you can add your own proxies or create one using proxy providers to keep you safe.- Human-like automation — GrowChief uses natural mouse movements and clicks on different parts of the screen. It never triggers clicks by &quot;document.querySelector(&#x27;x&#x27;).click()&quot;.- It uses Playwright together with Patchright for maximum stealthiness.- It uses a special technology to authenticate your accounts — you never need to put your username and password directly into the system.- It always runs in headful mode — our Docker image is already built with xvfb for real human automation.It&#x27;s the very first version, I hope you like it :)

Hi HN,I built GitRanks because I’ve always wanted a clear, fun way to see how my open-source work compares - both globally and right here at home. The app pulls in GitHub data to give every developer an at-a-glance “scorecard”, then rolls those into live leaderboards so you can:
- Track rankings by stars, contributions and followers
- Filter worldwide vs. your own country
- Refresh daily - no waiting weeks to see your progress
- Discover rising devs you’ve never heard of and follow their workTech Stack:
- Back: MongoDB | NestJS | BullMQ | GraphQL
- Front: Next.js | Tailwind | ShadcnData:
- 6.1M profiles
- 0.7M organizations
- 12.5M repositoriesTry it

What metrics or filters would make the leaderboards even more useful? Anything unclear or missing? I’ll be here answering questions and would really appreciate critical feedback. Thanks for checking it out!

Hated using vibe coded stuff, or some UI&#x2F;UX&#x2F;BE whatever broken software, so I decided to build my own.It took me some time, as I built it from the ground up, with a proper BE solution - NestJS, using Redis, Kafka for messaging and more tools to make it actually stable.My landing is with Nextjs for SSR&#x2F;SEO optimsations.I feel like this is becoming the best tool that would compete with all the giants like Buffer, Hootsuite. There are already some paying customers, and they&#x27;re pretty happy by it.I&#x27;m building reporting, more integrations and features, and it&#x27;s crazy good in my opinion, as it works as it should and it&#x27;s FAST.

Software engineering career advise is a minefield. Contexts vary so wildly that
the best advise probably is more like a case study into personal experiences and
how one navigated various delicate&#x2F;intricate issues.I for one have two part time jobs and one full time job. My primary challenge has
to do with triaging issues ahead of time so that I can draw up a comprehensive
plan for working on them ahead of time over the weekend so that I&#x27;d be in execution mode throughout the week - which is infinitely more productive - low context switching and more flow.I also have a mini bottleneck with one company where I&#x27;m not given production access - not even readonly and only hear about issues later on from the lead developer. There are often things that I&#x27;d rather diagnose in a production env but no - policy dictates part time workers are not given that kinda access.At the same company, I go to some of the websites we maintain and find somethings are broken and wonder - are these really used by real people or just bots.We have about 2 mobile apps that do similar things and I&#x27;d love to push for a monorepo setup but I have to look around at the engineering culture and realize that a monorepo setup would do more harm than good because it requires a better calibre of engineers.We have a nestjs codebase full of antipatterns that even I a newbie to nestjs can easily pinpoint and identify - but can&#x27;t truly get them to consider a huge refactor. I see all manner of nasty rest api implementations that make data flow unintuitive but my leadership skills might be lacking.I work at a &quot;consulting&quot; firm with a colleague that has issues delegating and primarily prefers import statements be arranged in a particular order. I hated working there because I felt arranging import statements were an insult to my time and abilities as a programmer - but the work pays the bills and I&#x27;ve to bide my time.I&#x27;ve ranted enough. The bottom line is context varies much too wildly for any advise to be particularly useful beyond being a case study. I&#x27;d be more interested in the authors specific experiences than advise

Dangerous Advice for Software Engineers

I guess decorators. Which are quite powerful but I’ve never seen them used outside of libraries&#x2F;frameworks that use them (angular, certain ORMs, nestjs?)As a personal taste I don’t really like decorators that much, but it’s true that nestjs projects (which is probably a majority of new backend TS projects) will not gain anything from this release. Then again, you always set nestjs up with a template anyway that has all of the tooling and building baked in. So whatevs.It’s still a huge huge win, and I finally have hope for typescript-ifying some horrible legacy node apps at work!!

Node.js is able to execute TypeScript files without additional configuration

Express is still popular, but a lot projects these days use a full-stack framework like Next.js, SvelteKit, etc.Fastify, NestJS (bleh), Koa, Hono are the modern replacements for express, none of them have caught on as a standard though. My personal favorite for small projects is Polka (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lukeed&#x2F;polka" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lukeed&#x2F;polka</a>), when I&#x27;m not using Go instead.

Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (August 2025)

&gt; You can bundle it all into one fileThis is the first I&#x27;m hearing of this, and a quick Google search found me a bunch of conflicting &quot;methods&quot; just within the NestJS ecosystem, and no clear indication of which one actually works.<pre><code> nest build --webpack
 nest build --builder=webpack
</code></pre>
... and of course I get errors with both of those that I don&#x27;t get with a plain &quot;nest build&quot;. (The error also helpfully specifies only the directory in the source, not the filename! Wtf?)Is this because NestJS is a &quot;squishy scripting system&quot; designed for hobbyists that edit API controller scripts live on the production server, and this is the first time that it has been actually built, or... is it because webpack has some obscure compatibility issue with a package?... or is it because I have the &quot;wrong&quot; hieroglyphics in some Typescript config file?Who knows!&gt; There&#x27;s this thing called worker_threads.Which are not even remotely the same as the .NET runtime and ASP.NET, which have a symmetric threading model where requests are handled on a thread pool by default. Node.js allows &quot;special&quot; computations to be offloaded to workers, but not HTTP requests. These worker threads can only communicate with the main thread through byte buffers!In .NET land I can simply use a concurrent dictionary or any similar shared data structure... and it just works. Heck, I can process a single IEnumerable, list, or array using parallel workers trivially.

## Description

Nest is a framework for building efficient, scalable [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) server-side applications. It uses modern JavaScript, is built with  [TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org) preserves compatibility with pure JavaScript and combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP (Functional Programming), and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming).

Under the hood, Nest makes use of [Express](https://expressjs.com/), but also, provides compatibility with a wide range of other libraries, like e.g. [Fastify](https://github.com/fastify/fastify), allowing for easy use of the myriad third-party plugins which are available.

## Installation

```js
$ npm install
```

## Getting Started

Setting up a new project is quite simple. With npm installed, you can create a new Nest project with the following commands in your OS terminal:

```js
$ npm i -g @nestjs/cli
$ nest new project-name
```

## Running the app

```js
# development
$ npm run start

# watch mode
$ npm run start:dev

# production mode
$ npm run start:prod
```

## Test

```js
# unit tests
$ npm run test

# e2e tests
$ npm run test:e2e

# test coverage
$ npm run test:cov
```

## Support

Nest is an MIT-licensed open source project. It can grow thanks to the sponsors and support by the amazing backers. If you'd like to join them, please [read more here](https://opencollective.com/nest).
