Out of curiosity, what were some of the differences in work culture you experienced? I've never worked outside the U.S., so would be interested to hear a different perspective.

You can try to prettify/beautify (something like http://jsbeautifier.org/ ), but the output can still be hard to read. If you're looking to learn how to build a particular feature that's closed-source, I'

You'd have better luck analyzing the source rather than the minified output. Relevant code is here: https://github.com/seripap/darkwire-client/blob/master/src/u...

My point was that if the server providing client code is compromised, it can serve malicious code to said client. This isn’t a cryptographic claim, just a point about how all web-based applications work. Also while I appreciate the feedback

Thanks for the feedback. If we assume the server is compromised then it's true that a MITM attack is trivial. However it seems to me this would be the case for any web-based e2e chat application, all of which must use a server by defin

Thanks for pointing this out. We'll work on getting fixes in ASAP.

Firstly, thanks for inspecting the source and offering a suggestion for improvement. The latter point should be a relatively easy fix. As for your first point, there’s little we can do to prevent TLS or AWS tampering. But we can make it eas

Thanks! We actually need the server intermediary to handle storing and locking rooms, and adding and removing members. Also IIRC WebRTC data channel doesn't have great cross browser support.

Darkwire is more for ephemeral chat rooms, where the name doesn't change as long as the room is occupied. We also don't require sign up, so you can use it instantly and anonymously.

This is neat. What radius is used for viewing messages in a given area?
15.
by alanfriedman 9y ago
Yes I think so too. Long-term I'd like to have a extensions (Chrome, desktop, etc) that give access to running blocks from anywhere. I think this makes code much more usable to non-developers.

I thought about it, but the goal is for codeblox to be language agnostic, so it would need to run server side. Eventually I plan to add Python and Java support. It would reduce costs though, that's for sure.

Thanks! I agree about conditional logic - maybe also loops - and will be thinking about how to incorporate something like that.

Thanks! The plan is to let the author specify the license type in the codeblox.json file, similar to what you would do on GitHub or with an NPM package.

Hi HN, I built Codeblox to allow developers to connect code together like building blocks. This makes it easy to build sequences (series of blocks) to do all kinds of things. Every block and sequence gets an API endpoint (POST api.codeblox.

Yeah that would be a good idea.

Thanks for the good times everyone. If anyone's interested in making this a real thing (IoT, state manager, web hooks, auth, labels, analytics, GUI, etc) reach out at hello@booleans.io. I'd love to build it out but have a day job
