Show HN: Just, a command runner written in Rust Just lets you save and run commands from files with a terse, readable syntax similar to Make: build: cc *.c -o main # test everything test-all: build ./test --all # run a specific test test TEST: build ./test --test It is cross-platform, written in Rust, and actively maintained on GitHub: https://ift.tt/379dcfd Just has a bunch of nice features: - Can be invoked from any subdirectory - Arguments can be passed from the command line - Static error checking that catches syntax errors and typos - Excellent error messages with source context - The ability to list recipes from the command line - Recipes can be written in any language - Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows - And much more! Just doesn't replace Make, or any other build system, but it does replace reverse-searching your command history, telling colleagues the weird flags they need to pass to do the thing, and forgetting how to run old projects.

Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later.
