Firefox's vertical tabs came to life with a little help from our community (mozilla.org)
If you’ve ever had more tabs open than you can count, you know the struggle: tiny, unreadable tab titles, constant scrolling, and that moment of panic when you close the wrong one. Enter vertical tabs, a long-requested Firefox feature designed to make tab management and multitasking easier.

Tell HN: I forked and republished a popular, abandoned Python library (ycombinator.com)
The `stringcase` package on PyPI [0] is fairly popular, on the order of 150k daily downloads [1]. However, there has been no sign of activity since June of 2023, and that was only to merge a pull request that breaks tests. The author's own last changes appear to have been a few days after the last PyPI release, in August 2017. A wheel was never distributed, despite being a single-file Python implementation with no dependencies.

Kilo Code: Speedrunning open source coding AI (kilocode.ai)

Boycott IETF 127 (boycott-ietf127.org)
The IETF Administration LLC has decided to continue to hold meetings in the US, in spite of significant threats to the safety of the community in traveling there. As an Internet community we strive to include everyone. Holding a meeting in the US is incompatible with our values. We call on the IETF community to refuse to travel to the 127th IETF meeting, to be held in San Francisco.

Ask HN: How to use social media as an indie dev? (ycombinator.com)
I'm an independent developer looking to launch a project soon that I'm excited about. I'll obviously post it here as a Show HN, and maybe in a few subreddits - but I'm out of the loop on where and how to reach more people. Haven't had a Facebook or other social media for years. I don't maintain a blog, though I assume I should. Does anyone have any resources or can speak to any experience doing this?
