Hi HN,

I’m the creator of C/C++ Cheatsheet — a modern, practical reference for both C and C++ developers. It includes concise snippet-style explanations of core language features, advanced topics like coroutines and constexpr, system programming sections, debugging tools, and useful project setups. You can explore it online at https://cppcheatsheet.com/.

I built this to help both beginners and experienced engineers quickly find clear examples and explanations without digging through fragmented blogs or outdated docs. It’s open source, regularly maintained, and contributions are welcome on GitHub.

If you’ve ever wanted a lightweight, example-focused guide to: - Modern C++ (templates, lambdas, concepts) - C fundamentals and memory handling - System programming - Debugging & profiling …this site aims to be that resource.

Any feedback is welcome. Thank you.

Hello HN,

I’ve been experimenting with the recent Remotion + Claude Code workflow. While generating video code with LLMs is impressive, the feedback loop felt broken to me. You have to prompt, copy code, set up a local Node environment, install dependencies, and run ffmpeg just to see a 5-second preview.

I built FreeMotion (https://freemotion.dev) to move this entire workflow into the browser.

It is a free, online editor specifically designed to close the loop between "Prompting" and "Rendering".

The core problems I tried to solve:

Environment Friction: Running Remotion locally requires setup. I wanted a zero-config, "paste and play" environment directly in the browser.

The "Generic" Look: LLMs usually generate generic CSS. I built a scraper that extracts computed styles from your live website URL so the video inherits your brand identity automatically.

Asset Management: Instead of juggling OBS or local screenshots, I integrated a recorder/snapshot tool directly into the editor to feed assets to the video.

How it works:

It runs a web-based player for Remotion.

The "Agentic" aspect: It generates optimized system prompts for you to feed Claude/LLMs, ensuring the output code is compatible with the web player.

Styling: It injects your site's color palette and fonts into the React components dynamically.

It’s completely free to use. I built this to make the "text-to-video-code" workflow actually usable for quick iterations.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the CSS extraction accuracy and the editor performance.

Hey HN, I'm Marc. I run Numia, a blockchain data company serving real-time APIs at near-petabyte scale. ObsessionDB is managed ClickHouse we built for ourselves that costs roughly 50% less than other managed options. Now we're launching it as a standalone service.

We had the classic split: ClickHouse for real-time analytics APIs, BigQuery for data warehouse workloads. Data replicated between both, costs adding up. Managed ClickHouse worked but was too expensive to put our warehouse workload into. Self-hosted meant replica nodes doubling storage and waiting days to copy 25TB to new replicas.

What we really needed was separated storage and compute. SharedMergeTree does this, but it's proprietary to ClickHouse Cloud. So we built our own version. Migrated everything in, both the real-time APIs and warehouse workloads. No more replicating between systems. Been running it in production across 5 projects.

The main wins: compute scales without replication tax, separate endpoints for ingest/API/ad-hoc so they can't interfere, no ZooKeeper or replica management on your end.

Honest tradeoffs: we're early, EU only right now. Small workloads on a single node with local NVMe will be faster, the separation adds a bit of latency. If you're running something small and static, a self-hosted node is probably simpler. Where this shines is large datasets and elastic workloads where you don't want to babysit infra.
