    Gitlogue is a CLI that turns your Git commits into a typing-style replay. It visualizes diffs line by line, shows the file tree, and plays back each edit as if it were typed in real time. Key points • Realistic typing animation • Syntax-highlighted diffs • File-tree view • Replay any commit • Self-contained CLI Demo video is in the README.

    Hey, we built an open-source CLI in Go purposed to help you answer security questions across your cloud, code and runtime. It connects to your GitHub, GitLab, AWS, GCP, Azure & K8s using the credentials that are already in your shell, while limiting itself to read-only. The core innovation here is the trust boundary - our agent has a built-in code execution sandbox with no host or network access; it is exposed to an internal tool which we call an “action gate” that performs read-only HTTP requests to your own infrastructure. Since the cloud providers constantly expand actions and services,…

    I've created a powerful tool to help Go developers uncover the hidden giants in their compiled binaries. Go Size Analyzer is like an X-ray machine for your Go executables, revealing: Which dependencies are eating up your binary size Unexpected bloat from standard library or vendor packages Size changes between binary versions with a visual diff Key features that set it apart: Interactive treemap visualizations (check out the demo: https://gsa.zxilly.dev) Slick terminal UI for deep diving into package hierarchies Cross-platform support (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries)…

    We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

    I built this after seeing multiple teams accidentally ship API keys in their frontend code. The problem: Modern web development moves fast. You're vibe-coding, shipping features, and suddenly your AWS keys are sitting in a tag visible to anyone who opens DevTools. I've personally witnessed this happen to at least 3-4 production apps in the past year alone. KeyLeak Detector runs through your site (headless browser + network interception) and checks for 50+ types of leaked secrets: AWS/Google keys, Stripe tokens, database connection strings, LLM API keys (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), JWT…

    Last week I wrote about building a scanner that writes its own exploits. A cron job runs Claude Code every night, it reads new CVEs, writes proof-of-concept checks, tests them against vulnerable and patched Docker instances, and opens PRs. I review and merge in the morning. That post was about how t

    Hi HN, I’m Valentin, a developer who’s found code reviews to be a slow process, especially after context switching or juggling different projects and languages. Even reviewing my own code can be tough when I’ve lost the thread or just need a fresh perspective. Over the past few weekends, I built GitReviewed to make PR reviews faster, smarter, and genuinely useful for real teams. What it does: - Reviews any GitHub or GitLab pull/merge request with AI-powered comments, spotting security issues, code patterns, typos, and more - Posts comments as you (not a bot), so feedback fits naturally…

    My name is Nir! I am one of the three co-founders of arnica.io. I’ve worn many hats in cyber security over the years – sys admin, pen-tester, security architect, and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). What really gets me excited about my work is making security easy and effective for developers and ops teams! In my last role, at one of the top 3 FinTechs, following the attack against Solarwinds, the CEO asked me what we are doing to secure our software supply chain. I met with 15+ vendors, did a few POCs, but unfortunately each solution either increased operational cost or was too…

    We are launching GitComet today! It’s a fast, local-first, open-source Git client for Linux, macOS, and Windows. We started building it after running into the same problem over and over: Git tools felt fine on small projects, but got painful on large repos and big diffs. Project main focus is speed: It can open Chromium repository blazingly fast (in less than 1 second). It can diff 50mb file with syntax highlighting without lagging. Memory usage stays within few hundred MBs at all times. Its fast to pick up as user interface follows familiar tools like GitKraken, SourceTree and Github…

    We built a Git-native CLI tool that automates Git branch stacking. Here's why stacking matters and how GX helps: Code review is a notorious bottleneck. You write a large PR, wait for review, get feedback, iterate, and wait again - especially painful across timezones. Meanwhile, you're blocked from shipping dependent changes. Stacking lets you parallelise development and code review by breaking changes into logical and dependent chunks. Current stacking tools will consider each commit its own PR, but GX will automatically group commits into separate stacks while optimising for structural…

    We're open-sourcing Sighthound today, our rules-based static security scanner. What makes it special is that it's coded in rust and uses tree-sitter as it's AST making it very fast and easily extensible. Why build another scanner in 2026? We wanted to improve some of our detection outcomes but noticed the current open source scanners like Semgrep/Opengrep we're capped by a bunch of adoption limitations such as being written in OCaml, requiring a lot of work to add a language parser, and the rulesets were licensed differently and required paid offerings. It also felt that licensing was…

    Hi HN, I'm one of the creators of HoundDog.ai (https://github.com/hounddogai/hounddog). We currently handle privacy scanning for Replit's 45M+ creators. We built HoundDog because privacy compliance is usually a choice between manual spreadsheets or reactive runtime scanning. While runtime tools are useful for monitoring, they only catch leaks after the code is live and the data has already moved. They can also miss code paths that aren't actively triggered in production. HoundDog traces sensitive data in code during development and helps catch risky flows (e.g., PII…
