Show HN: A spacecraft block diagram editor

I work on early stage spacecraft concepts, so I draft and edit spacecraft block diagrams often. Each and every time I'm frustrated by the "fiddliness" of tools like Powerpoint or Visio - lines overlap when I don't want them to, or don't when I do. I fight invisible grids when sizing and placing boxes. Legend entries end up ever-so-slightly misaligned. So I made my own little single-purpose tool.Satblocks is the distillation of my own opinionated set of spacecraft block d

What does high effort mean when AI has made everything low effort?

it's incredibly easy to ship code now. but, what does this mean when the number of good ideas are tried at levels never seen before? It's not that all AI's are shipping "slop", but it does mean that the number of less than stellar ideas are permeating the space. This is dragging down the average of what's possible. This also has the negative effect of bringing down the perceived value of genuinely good ideas.

I built a bookkeeping app for UK sole traders as a new developer using AI

About a month ago I started building QuarterPerfect — a bookkeeping tool aimed at UK sole traders and landlords, specifically designed around the MTD ITSA changes coming into effect this year (first quarterly deadline: 7 August).A bit of background on me firstly.I'm not a senior developer. My previous project was a small roster app that converted an XLSX shift rota into a calendar with annual leave support — mostly built for me and a few colleagues at work. Nothing with real users, nothing
