Show HN: SkillCatalog, a Git-native skill manager for AI coding tools

AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex read instructions from files on disk: .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/, .agents/skills/. These files shape how each tool behaves. On a team of ten engineers working across several repositories, managing them by hand breaks down fast.I built SkillCatalog to solve this without a SaaS dependency. Skills live in Git repositories the team already controls. The desktop app provides authoring, organization, and delivery o

Ask HN: Is GitHub's #1 repo fake? build-your-own-x 491K stars

GitHub's #1 most starred repo is build-your-own-x [1] with 491K stars. That's twice the starts of React or Linux or Python. Yet, Yet I almost never hear about it on HN or anywhere else.

It has 867 points, 64 comments, barely a discussion.Btw, it's S2022 Backed by YC.[1] https://github.co

Show HN: Weekly Log, Old-school journaling social media

Weekly Log is a minimalistic social media website designed for you to do journaling and creative writing.A lot of modern social media apps are set up in a way that addicts and detriments the users, meanwhile profiting off of their data. I really wanted to make a site that doesn't operate in that way.Some of its distinctions: - You can create one post per week. This encourages care and consideration. - Nobody knows who you follow or what posts you react to, besides you and the other user. Th

Show HN: Graph Compose – Temporal workflows with visual builder, SDK, and AI

Hey HN. Graph Compose is a hosted platform for orchestrating API workflows on Temporal. You define workflows as graphs of nodes (HTTP calls, AI agents, iterators, error boundaries) and everything runs as a durable Temporal workflow under the hood.Three ways to build the same graph: a React Flow visual builder, a typed TypeScript SDK (@graph-compose/client), and an AI assistant that turns plain English into a graph.Open-core: the execution foundations and integrations service are AGPL-3.0.

Show HN: AnyHabit – A minimalist habit tracker for Raspberry Pi and Docker

Hey everyone, I recently built AnyHabit, a minimalist, self-hosted habit tracker designed for home servers, and I just released v0.1.0 and made it fully open-source under GPLv3. I wanted something simple without subscriptions or bloat, so I built this to track both positive habits you want to build and negative ones you want to avoid, and it even calculates the money you save from avoiding those bad habits.It's definitely not perfect and is still a very simple app at its core, but since thi

Show HN: Tusk Drift – Open-source tool for automating API tests

Show HN: Pytest-httpdbg – a simple way to include HTTP traces in Allure reports

Hi HN,I recently updated my pytest plugin based on httpdbg to include the HTTP traces directly in the Allure reports. As with httpdbg, the idea is to have nothing more to do than to add an argument to your command line: --httpdbg-allure.For example:pytest examples&#x2F;pytest_demo.py --alluredir=.&#x2F;allure-results --httpdbg-allureFor each test, all HTTP requests will be recorded and saved in the Allure report under a step named httpdbg.You can check the README in the repository to see how it

About 3 years ago i wrote a custom preprocessor to assist in processing the SQLite project&#x27;s JavaScript builds (e.g. filtering the small differences between vanilla JS and ESM modules).

Show HN: mDNS name resolution for Docker container names

I always wanted this: an easy way to reach &quot;resolve docker container by name&quot; -- e.g., to reach web servers running in Docker containers on my dev machine. Of course, I could export ports from all these containers, try to keep them out of each others hair on the host, and then use http:&#x2F;&#x2F;localhost:PORT. But why go through all that trouble? These containers already expose their respective ports on their own IP (e.g., 172.24.0.5:8123), so all I need is a convenient way to find
