Navigation-Less Designs by 2030

If you’ve ever opened a B2B app and felt like you were fighting a maze of menus, tabs, and dashboards — you’re not alone. Traditional navigation was once the backbone of digital products. But today, it feels less like guidance and more like a tax. Every click, every search, every hover-over is a micro-burden that slows people down. https://webdesignernews.com/navigation-less-designs-by-2030/

Show HN: Edka – Kubernetes clusters on your own Hetzner account

Hi HN,

I’ve been working with Kubernetes for over a decade, since the alpha days, and was involved in kube-aws project before AWS launched EKS. For the past four years, I’ve been helping friends and small businesses cut costs by running Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud, which I’ve found to be rock solid and by far the best priced provider.

Provisioning a cluster on Hetzner is now straightforward, thanks to tools like k3s and hetzner-k3s, but configuring it for your specific needs still takes

Why on Earth would NASA build a nuclear reactor on the Moon?

"Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon" is not a headline I imagined reading before last week.
