Launch HN: Rise Reforming (YC S26) – Turning Waste Gases into Valuable Chemicals

Hi HN! This is George, Lucas, and Jona from Rise Reforming ( https://www.rise-reforming.com/ ). We’re developing a process to convert gas produced at landfills, farms, and wastewater plants (“biogas”) into higher value chemicals. Our technology is modular, designed to be deployed and operated on-site. Think of us as a chemical project developer; we sit between biogas producers (suppliers) and chemical end users (customers). We pay biogas producers for their gas and we make money from selling our...

Its performance alone would have been enough to intensify the rivalry between […]

I Replaced ESLint and Prettier with Biome

I used to juggle ESLint and Prettier every day. Two tools. Multiple config files. Plugin conflicts. Slow checks. And that constant feeling that something was always fighting something else. Then I found Biome . Biome is a single, Rust-powered tool that does both formatting and linting. It replaces the classic ESLint + Prettier combo with one binary and one simple config. Why it feels different It’s extremely fast. According to the official benchmark, Biome formats ~35x fa...

The five primitives I run a whole company on

I run a consumer product company by myself. Physical inventory, two storefronts, multiple marketplaces, subscription billing, bookkeeping, tax filings, government paperwork, content in two languages, and a codebase that ships to production most weeks. Headcount: one. Not "one plus a virtual assistant." One. Three years ago this was not possible. It is also not possible today by keeping a chat window open and asking it questions. The thing that changed is not that models got smarter in the abs...

The rollback endpoint took a deployment ID and did nothing with it

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup powered by Sentry . Project Overview Staxa is a multi-tenant deployment platform I am building solo under Stackforge Labs.

Each tenant gets an isolated Kubernetes namespace with their own app container, a PostgreSQL 16 or MySQL 8 database, a ...

The ten-line binary search that balanced a four-million-item crawl

A short field note. I had to crawl every item in a public registry (~4 million of them) in about a day. One idea did most of the work. The problem Split the sorted keyspace into N ranges, run one worker per range, done. That's the plan. It falls apart because keys aren't uniformly distributed. Cut the alphabet into even chunks and one chunk swallows all the dense prefixes while the rest finish in minutes and sit idle. My first cut had a single shard holding 71% of the work. ...

Four lessons from building AI, education, and healthcare products with Next.js

Over the last few years, I have built products in very different domains: generative AI, job search, education, and clinic operations. Although the interfaces and users are different, several engineering lessons appeared repeatedly. 1. Multiple AI features still need to feel like one product Klyro brings together streamed chat, cited web search, image analysis, and image generation. The difficult part was not simply connecting several AI services. It was creating one consis...
