Show HN: Restfox – A web based HTTP client inspired by Insomnia and Postman Hey HN, I built this because I wanted a portable version of Insomnia I could access anywhere I am, without installing anything. The application is a PWA, so it will not load resources again after the first load, unless there's an update. It uses IndexedDB and loads quite fast even with a lot of nested requests and folders. Import from Postman and Insomnia is available making it easy to import your pre-existing request collections. Only limitation is that it only supports CORS enabled endpoints for now. I plan to add cors proxy support later on. There is of course the electron build ( https://ift.tt/4BeKrOW ), which can be used to bypass cors but that kinda defeats the portability of the app but it is an option.

Show HN: Reach 100 – a (unsolvable?) puzzle game I recently remembered a game we used to play with pen and paper some 20 years ago, where you need to fill a 10x10 grid writing numbers in the grid up to 100 following 2 simple rules. After showing it to my kids I thought it would be nice to adapt it digitally so that they could play it more often (not needing to draw the grid etc.) and so that other people could play it as well. What I'm really interested in with this submission (beyond general feedback) is wether anybody knows the origin of the game and if it's solvable. Because that's the catch, my highest score of all time is 97 and it doesn't seem to be possible to go higher. I have the feeling this game is an adaptation of a more general problem and probably has its origin in some lecture. So, once again, if you know where it comes from I'd be really grateful. Alternatively I would love to know if there is a possibility to prove if it's solvable or not. (It...

Show HN: I made a custom news aggregator that updates automatically Hello HN I visit a few sites news sites daily and wanted to see the headlines all on one page and also have it update itself throughout the day. It is not finished yet, but is usable enough to share. If you want to make a custom page, you can click the 'build your custom page' at the top, and select the feeds that are of interest to you. I haven't implemented it yet, but the feeds can be re-ordered as well, you just need to enter their names in the address bar, for example to show Tech Meme, BBC News and Tech Crunch you would write: nuntium.co.uk/f/?tm,bbc,tc Then bookmark that link to visit it later. It is very minimal and no login or account is required. It is very gentle on the sites it polls - it only polls them once every five minutes at the moment. I'd love to get some feedback on what other people think and if there are any feeds you would like to see on there please let me know and I will add th...
