Silkline | Senior Software Engineer | Seattle | ONSITE (5 days/week) | $150k-$220k + equity | https://silkline.ai

Modern hardware supply chains run on spreadsheets, email, and PDFs. It's like fax woke up in 2025. We're fixing this with an AI-first procurement platform for aerospace, defense, and nuclear manufacturing.

Our customers: Machina Labs, Astranis, K2 Space, Castelion, Antares, and more. They use us to manage suppliers, track $M+ in orders, automate RFQs, and stay ITAR-compliant. Every day of production delay costs $50k+—our platform keeps them moving.

The role: Own features end-to-end, build ERP integrations that sync POs and manufacturing data, real-time order tracking dashboards, and a user experience that people LOVE. Work directly with customers whose supply chains depend on what you ship.

Stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Hasura (GraphQL), PostgreSQL, Trigger.dev, AWS GovCloud, Pulumi, Elbow grease.

You: 5+ years shipping production systems, strong full-stack or frontend generalist who moves fast, thrive on customer feedback and direct impact, bonus: ERP integrations, B2B SaaS, or regulated industries

Traction: 5x'd customer count last year, $5M funding to date, landing massive defense/space logos. Small team shipping incredibly fast—you'll work directly with our founders (Isaac and myself).

Stories from these domains are hidden from every list. Subdomains match too: blocking substack.com also hides danluu.substack.com. The list is kept in this browser only.

Windows

Each story opens in a window holding its article above its discussion; drag the bar between them to share the room differently. A window can be moved by its title bar, resized from any edge, snapped to a half or a corner by dragging it there, maximised, or minimised to the bar at the foot of the page. Use Window > New reader window to open an empty reader, or a story row's Open in new reader window button to compare articles. Docked readers keep their articles when you select another story from the sidebar. Minimized readers can be restored and reused for their site. A window's Next story link reads on down the list in the same window.

A link in a comment or an article to another Hacker News or Lobsters thread opens that thread in a window too. A link to a single HN comment opens the comment above its replies.

While a story's window is in front, the Story and Discussion menus in the menu bar hold its commands: pinning, Next story, sorting, collapsing every thread, jumping to the first new comment. Each window also remembers where you were in its article and discussion, so a reload, or Back to a story that Next took you past, finds your place again. Closing a window forgets it.

The whole arrangement lives in the address, so a bookmark or a shared link brings it back, and Back undoes the last change. Moving between Hacker News, Lobsters, their lists, Pinned and Find changes only the list, and leaves the windows open.

The list

The pin at the start of a row keeps the story in Pinned, and the cross at its end hides it. Pinned can be narrowed by words in the title, site or author, by source, and to the stories you haven't opened yet, and ordered by when you pinned them, by points or by comments; the filters are part of the address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked. Scroll past the end of the list to load more. Domain filters, in the View menu, hide every story from a site.

Browsing view

View > Windowed and View > Classic select the browsing view and save your default in this browser. Window view reuses a reader for each feed. Classic view opens stories and applets as pages. Open as a page and Open in a window are one-off actions that do not change your saved default. Direct page links always open as pages.

Applets

The Applets menu in the menu bar holds three tools, each a window of its own. Replies to me takes your Hacker News user name and lists the replies to your last thirty comments and stories, checking again every three minutes while it is open, and marking what is new since you last marked them read. Look up a user opens a profile on Hacker News or Lobsters, with their submissions and recent comments, as a commenter's name in any discussion does; the bar at the top of a profile looks up someone else in the same window, and Back returns to the one before. Who is hiring? filters the posts of HN's monthly hiring threads by the words you type.

They read only what the sites publish to everyone, so none of them asks for a login, and your user name stays in this browser.

Find

Find takes any link and lists every time it was submitted to Hacker News and Lobsters, so you can read each discussion of it.

About

YAVCHN never sees your Hacker News or Lobsters login. The discussion is fetched from each site's public API; to vote or reply, follow the link above the discussion, or the arrow beside a comment, to the source's own site. Pins, hidden stories, filters and layout are kept in this browser only.
