Some New Projects Are Using Harper
I recently did some snooping (through Dependabot) on what open source projects have been using Harper.
Since I last checked, there are some new ones.
I wonder if the recent additions have anything to do with Harper going 1.0.
Someone also wrote a book using Harper.
This post is now out-of-date. There are even more projects using Harper today (as of 6.11.2026). The canonical list exists in Harper's Documentation

First of all, I have to say Harper is a very great project. Keep up the good work 💪. I am curious whether Harper supports Harper or plans to support python
Thank you for the kinds words! Right now, it is not on the roadmap. One of our main contributors did some tinkering a while back, which you're welcome to take a look at. If you'd like that work to turn into an official library, please file an issue. https://github.com/hippietrail/harper-py

Local-First Software Is Easier to Scale
The title of this post is somewhat misleading. Local-first software rarely needs to be scaled at all.

It's not easy, but I think it's one of the best habits I've ever built.
Hacker News sans AI
I like HackerNews, but I don't love that so much of it has turned into discussion of a single topic: AI. This is a version of HackerNews, filtered to remove any article focusing on __AI__. Refreshes about every ten minutes.
