That's right. There was a time when reverse engineering was a big scene and creating these kind of tools was a craze. But eventually it faded away as people started using more web based tools

[skirge → sameer_hacker]

tools are private or security companies were created based on this work. Only few are published (to create market for defense tools or penetration testing you need to show that hacking is very easy - no one needs lockers if there are no thiefs).

Winamp for music!

[neuronsong → sameer_hacker]

OMG. I hadn't played with winamp in years. Then a few weeks ago I stumbled on webamp.org and it was such a blast from the past. Winamp in a web browser! So cool. Double click on the visualization to full-screen it.

On: Optic – Secure NPM Release Automation

[sameer_hacker]

Optic enables you to automate the release process of your Npm packages, apps and actions without compromising security. The Optic mobile app helps you to securely generate OTP tokens on the fly for 2FA protected Npm accounts. It allows you to do all that directly from the deployment pipeline at the click of a button!

On: Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?

[sameer_hacker]

Very cool. I am a dev and interested in collaborating. What's the tech stack like? How do I get in touch?

Google has blocked oauth for this app

[paulmendoza → sameer_hacker]

They probably haven’t paid $15K - $75k for the security audit required by Google for access to restricted scope data. That process can take a month or so of a full time dev.

thanks! Currently, we are solving this problem, you can try other options of sign up

On: What is causing the rise of Remote Work?

[sameer_hacker]

What makes you say that the tooling isn't there yet?

[konschubert → sameer_hacker]

Cheap, connected whiteboards that feel snappy, cheap conference mics that can cover a mid-size room while filtering out the reverb, always-on video communication tools (@TandemHQ is going into a good direction there).

All in all, most remote communication is still going through a single, small screen, that seems very limiting to me.

[beobab → sameer_hacker]

Do you know of a tool which allows two (or more) people to share their screens with each other at the same time?

i.e. A can see (at least) one of B's screens, and B can see (at least) one of A's screens at the same time as talking to them.

That's the tool I'm missing to be able to work productively remotely.

[cweagans → beobab]

You can only realistically look at one person's screen at a time, but if you really need this feature, Zoom supports it: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000424286-Shari...

On: To Revive the Mac, Apple Wants to Kill Electron

[sameer_hacker]

A mac only framework doesn't sound like an election killer at all considering windows still has a huge user base.

[kkarakk → sameer_hacker]

further ignoring mac in favor of an ipad framework that ALSO works on mac along with mac hardware refresh essentially ignoring heat issues(and keyboard issues) leads me to think apple is going to evolve past the mac completely. They just don't want users to use web apps on macs and lose their stranglehold on the app store.

Things like flutter/react are completely going to devour the platform specific space for everything except usecases that require specific hardware(which apple is also losing because they're ignoring scientific/gaming marketshare by cold-shouldering nvidia,ML and AAA game devs in general).

i think apple is trying to "hunker down" until internet speeds improve enough that everyone is using a streaming service for all the hardware intensive stuff and they can continue selling pretty thin clients like ipads/iphones/iARGlasses
