    Buildstash▲168

    Hey HN! We just launched open sign up on Buildstash. It's a platform for managing and sharing software binaries. I'd worked across game dev, mobile apps, and agencies - and found every team had no real system for managing their built binaries. Often just dumped in a shared folder (if someone remembered!). No system for versioning, keeping track of who'd signed off what when, or what exact build had gone to a client, etc. Existing tools out there for managing build artifacts are really focused on package repository management. But miss all the other types of software not being deployed that…

    QuickDeploy▲184

    Hi HN, I am Max and I am building QuickDeploy! It lets you deploy web applications of all sorts to your VPS with one command! Here is a little showcase of the tool itself: https://youtu.be/Feauj4OaePg Under the hood quickdeploy detects the language and framework you use, so e.g. Next.js and then creates a Docker image. After that it starts the container and waits until it is in a healthy state before using a reverse proxy to redirect traffic to the app. Added benefit is the use of your own domain with instant https! I am super happy with the result and the ease of use. After…

    Plasmo – a framework for building modern Chrome extensions▲132

    Hey HN, we're excited to have people try out our framework! When we built out a Chrome extension earlier this year, we noticed that the config was too imperative. You had to constantly tell Chrome via the manifest.json file where your files were, what your permissions should be, etc. So we thought it might be interesting to build a more declarative framework. When we built a proof of concept, we enjoyed working with it and decided to invest more time into making it usable and adding more features. We're still pretty early in building it out, and there's a bunch more we want to add, but this…

    Keystone▲125

    We kept hitting the same wall: you clone some arbitrary repo and just want it to run without any configuration work. So we built Keystone, an open source tool that spins up a Modal sandbox, runs Claude Code inside it, and produces a working .devcontainer/ config (Dockerfile, devcontainer.json, test runner) for any git repo. We build on the dev container standard, so the output works with VS Code and GitHub Codespaces out of the box. Main use cases: reproducible dev/CI environments, self-describing repos, and safely sandboxed coding agents. Our goal is to encourage all repos to…
