Show HN: Protobuf.com, a visual, interactive guide to Protocol Buffers

Protobuf.com, a visual, interactive guide to Protocol Buffers is a company in show hn launch.

Profile

Protobuf is a fairly simple format, but the way people are first introduced to it often doesn't speak to them. That is how it was for me at first. I tried to address that in two ways: simple visual diagrams where a picture does the work better than prose, and interaction so you can get a feel for the language and how it behaves without installing anything.Some parts of the guide run a real Protobuf compiler, bufbuild/protocompile, in the browser through WASM. It's the same compiler the buf CLI uses.Feedback welcome.Disclosure: I work at Buf, and Buf owns the domain. The guide started as a side project before I joined.

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
