Hey HN! I'm Daniel, building Onlook, the Cursor for Designers. We built an open-source collaborative canvas for code that lets designers and developers craft incredible web experiences together.

Since launching, Onlook hit #1 on Hacker News, was the #1 trending repo on GitHub—above DeepSeek + Anthropic—and has earned over 23,000 GitHub stars. We’re looking to bring on Onlook’s first Founding Engineers.

This role requires autonomy - you’ll be setting standards for one of the fastest-growing open source projects backed by YC ever. You’ll help design and build an uncompromising visual IDE loved by tens of thousands of designers and engineers around the world, and you'll have a heavy influence on the direction of where we take the company.

You’re a full-stack engineer based in the U.S. who is ultra comfortable in Typescript, NextJS, React, and Tailwind, and ready to jump-in and build.

The most important things we look for:

• Olympic-level dedication – you want to be the best in the world at what you do.

• Ownership – you like autonomy and control over the destiny of the company.

• Speed – you’re comfortable shipping and iterating quickly with feedback.

• Craft – you’re opinionated and are willing to defend your opinions.

Ideally, you:

• Are looking for a fast-paced, early startup environment.

• Are willing to put in long hours and go the extra mile.

• Are comfortable with any part of the stack, front-end, back-end, or database.

• Believe in open source and are ok with your work being very public.

The comp range for this role is $130k-200k, 1-5% equity, great healthcare + other perks, and an awesome office if you happen to be in SF. We're open to remote / hybrid candidates.

If you’d like to stand out, please share a project or piece of work that you’re most proud of. We love seeing people’s work. If you have a personal website, please include that as well.

If you're interested, email daniel@onlook.com with your Github / LinkedIn / Website or work samples and why you'd be a great addition to the team, or apply here: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/onlook/jobs/e4gHv1n-fo...

Hello HN! We're a team of three building a new kind of web-based markdown editor.

There are many editors out there, so one is spoiled for choice, but Kraa's approach is a little different. It's trying to be both a minimal and distraction-free experience while being feature-rich and allowing for tons of use cases.

What Kraa's good for:

- Distraction-free writing & reading (minimal UI, performant, styling logic completely separated from the editing experience)

- Quick sharing of any written text – compared to many other writing tools, your content can be easily shared just by posting a link and giving 'read' or 'edit' access (we also have password-protection)

- Real-time chat / communities – Kraa has some unique features around real-time editing and our Chat widget allows for a frictionless chat experience. No send button.

- Kraa works well on mobile (though dedicated apps are planned)

I'm sure folks here have seen pastebins a thousand times. There's no innovation left in this space – and that's kind of the point.

When I wanted to self-host a pastebin, every option I found was too much. Git-based version control, OAuth, elaborate admin panels. I just wanted something I could deploy in under a minute with a CLI that actually works.

So I built pbnj (yes, like the sandwich).

What it is:

- A minimal, beautiful pastebin with syntax highlighting for 100+ languages

- One-click deploy to Cloudflare (free tier gives you ~100,000 pastes)

- CLI-first: pbnj file.py → get a URL, copied to clipboard

- Memorable URLs: crunchy-peanut-butter-sandwich instead of x7f9a2

- Private pastes with optional secret keys

- Web UI for when you're not in a terminal

What it isn't:

- No accounts, no OAuth, no git integration

- No multi-user support (fork it and run your own)

- No expiring pastes, no folders, no comments

- Not trying to replace Gist or be a "platform"

Why not just use Gist? Maybe you want to own your data. Maybe you enjoy self-hosting things. Or maybe you're a little autistic like me and just like having your own stuff.
