+[2026-09-04 13:38] Show HN: A privacy-focused web-based HAR viewer
The idea of having to connect to a cloud service or even log in to do something like look at or make network requests has never sat well with me. And viewing har files in devtools is clunky. So I built a web-based, as-private-as-I-could-make it har viewer. Basically it has all the CSP along with build-time and run-time verification to confirm that the page can't leak anything. I'd love to hear feedback on how to make it even harder to mess up :)

[2026-09-02 14:27] Show HN: I created a privacy-focused email service
I built JustReceiveEmail because I don't want data collectors tracking my online activity through my email address.
The idea is simple: use a different email address whenever you sign up for something, while still being able to keep that address and receive emails from it later.
Privacy was the main goal. Incoming emails are encrypted before being stored, no tracking/logging is used, and the service tries to collect as little data as possible. Only a username is required to create an account.
There are no ads or trackers. Instead, it costs a small fee to help keep the service running.
I'd love to get feedback, especially on the privacy model and anything you think I should improve.
