OP here, thanks for your comment. I have given the complete credit & link to the original source for inspiration and some of the images on my home page. (please scroll down to the bottom of the home page). I am extremely grateful to u/pieterhg.


For me the problem is really that the title of the post doesn't really do justice to pieterhg's effort. To me, that feels very strongly like you're adorning yourself with borrowed plumes.


Sorry OP, but I have to disagree. That link at the bottom is only visible if you scroll down for a few seconds. I scrolled around the site for a while and never saw it. If you want to give "complete credit", then I would recommend replacing the text in the header, from this:

<!-- Checkout live matches, recent matches and upcoming matches at one place. Built by Pankaj Tanwar. -->

to this:

<!-- Checkout live matches, recent matches and upcoming matches at one place. CricCode is a port made by Pankaj Tanwar, based on RemoteOK's VS Code site, which was built by Pieterhg. -->

where "Remote OK's VS Code Site" links directly to their VS Code site (not their "Show HN"): https://remoteok.io/vscode


Plus, like I said elsewhere, even the "Inspired by" section itself is copied from the original site. The entire page is copied verbatim, with only the text switched out for his cricket theme.

I'm sorry to the OP, but you just can't plagiarise someone else's work like this and then write a fake diary about how you built it yourself (https://pankajtanwar.substack.com/p/i-built-a-fake-vs-code-t...).

By way of contrast, the 'Inspired by' on the original acknowledges its debt to Geektyper (https://geektyper.com/word/), an MS Word clone so different that no one would guess at the inspiration. That is an appropriate level of inspiration for such a small acknowledgement hidden right at the bottom.


Meh, that's his problem if he gets hired due to this and is expected to produce something similar from scratch.

Neither one is trying to make money directly off of this, what's the big deal?


Well, it's generally frowned upon to pass off someone else's work as your own. Hell, he wrote an entire blog post detailing the process of 'building' this website (linked above).

It's staggeringly brazen. The only true sentence in his post is "It makes me look like I'm doing real work".


Oh hmm yeah, the blog post is a bit dishonest.


No, it's wrong because it is wrong. Not because whether someone benefits or loses because of it. That doesn't matter.


"Right" and "wrong" can often be quite an over-simplification as well as cultural (among other things)...

But I also clarified things in a sibling comment.


For the life of me I can't find any mention of where you have picked up the original source from (actually, I can't even find the "inspiration" mention) on your blog post. It's a deliberately misleading blog. It should be very clear in both letter and intent somewhere at the top. I was one of the first ones to comment on this post here praising the work, but now I know better. Please do not denigrate millions of Indians who work hard to produce original work and do not like to take credit for someone else's work.


It should be at the top. We both know the reason why you've hidden it at the bottom of the page.


Good stuff. It seems, login with twitter is broken.


Thanks for that! Are you referring to the redirect from Twitter Auth on mobile? You simply have to refresh the home page to log in. It's an bug with Supabase, I use them to handle the Auth and backend.


Thank you. I will surely look into this.


Thanks for sharing. I will definitely look into this.


I have 100+ crons & I don't want to write some specific logic in my code for handling this, now what? would you mind sharing your thoughts on the same?


The other solutions based on file locking tools all seemed fragile. You have to change _something_!


Is there any other way without using lock files? Using socket or something?


I suppose you could try listening on a socket at a specific port. The next process would get EADDRINUSE if you were still running.

There's also sysv or posix semaphores.


Can you please share any resources to understand it more in detail? With flock, I am facing issue with lock files, if cron crashes or system reboots, lock files are a big pain.


IME, flock works fine across SIGKILLs and forced reboots. Are you trying to use flock on a filesystem that runs across multiple kernels (i.e., networked fs), by any chance?


Not an expert to suggest but here is the path, I followed - - Go through design inspirations on dribble/behance - Design a rough design draft on paper as per your use case - Pick any existing CSS framework sucha tailwind CSS/Bootstrap etc & Get your hands dirty

Being an engineer, downloading a free template and just using it does not suit me. Designing on your own might take time some time but will help your product in long run as using a template restricts creative additions.


> Designing on your own might take time some time but will help your product in long run as using a template restricts creative additions.

I feel the same way about templates as they constrain design freedom. I lean more toward CSS/JS frameworks.

> Pick any existing CSS framework sucha tailwind CSS

I've noticed tailwind gets a lot of love on HN. Is Tailwind UI going to help make it easy to create a landing page with top notch aesthetics?
