Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6dUjV
Hello HN, I'm pythonbrad and a core maintainer of Afrim - an input method engine for African languages.
Afrim want to simplify the typing in African languages and also digitalize the African typing systems. Basically, it wants to solve the problems encountered with current solutions:
- slow typing
- not easily configurable
- keyboard layout dependent
- constant bugs
Additionally, Afrim offers the following features [1]:
- Dataset easily customizable
- Keyboard layout independent
- Auto completion, autocorrection and autosuggestion
- Support all sequential codes
Technical details [2]:
Afrim is written in Rust and his architecture is inspired of RIME.
What's next?
- Offer an android frontend of the Afrim (in development) [3]
- Support more African input methods as possible
I would like to have your opinions about this project. I have been working on it so far, and I would like to know how I can improve it.

Hi HN,
I've built a Vue component library based on the GOV.UK Design System, which is used for government services in the UK. The Design System is well-known for being accessible, well designed and thoroughly researched, and it's been used as the basis for many other governments' and organisations' design systems.
GOV.UK Vue includes every component in the GOV.UK Design System, with comprehensive docs. It can also be used for projects that aren't related to GOV.UK, as long as they don't use the GOV.UK branding

Hi,
A while ago, I came across this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR3TbL3Tl6M on YouTube showing 8 hours of defragmenting a hard drive.
For some reason, it inspired me to create this small game.
Have fun :)

Ask HN: What books should I read to improve as a software engineer? (❄️ Score: 150+ in 4 days)
Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6dFqG
I'm a recent grad looking to keep improving. I've read Clean Code, Game Programming Patterns, and Architecture Patterns with Python, and I feel I learned / improved a lot from each of them.
I was looking at Coding Horror's book recommendation list: https://blog.codinghorror.com/recommended-reading-for-developers/
but all those books seem very out of date.
Any suggestions for best books for software engineers in 2024?
