Hey HN, TL;DR: We’ve launched a free version of our Shadow IT scanner to identify which SaaS apps are used in your company, who uses them, and if they have high-risk OAuth scopes. Philip and I went through YC with AccessOwl in 2022. We started the company because, in our previous roles, we struggled to track all the SaaS apps, users, and granted OAuth scopes. The Shadow IT scanner started as a small feature within AccessOwl, which manages SaaS vendors and user accounts centrally. But a standalone scanner would have made our lives so much easier in our previous roles. So, we thought, why not…

I've been developing game backends for several years, using and designing a lot of code. They all about calculations, synchronization with front-end data, and database data, and try to ensure consistency, atomicity, and high response, etc. However, these codes and frameworks have always had problems such as very complicated APIs, incomplete or non-existent ACID, multiple calls to RPC, and non-real-time full or semi-full data landing. So, we created Lockval Engine. An easy-to-use, ACID, distributed, DOP, multi-language support backend engine. Here are some online demos that will give you a…

Hi HN, I’m Pavel. I built Sklad because, as a DevOps engineer, I was frustrated with how I handled operational data. I constantly need access to SSH passwords (where keys aren't an option), specific IP addresses, and complex CLI one-liners. I realized I was storing them in insecure text files or sticky notes because standard clipboard managers felt too bloated and password managers were too slow for my workflow. I wanted a "warehouse" for this data—something that lives quietly in the system tray, supports deep hierarchy, works completely offline, and looks industrial. The app is built with…

We're launching SecureBuild: https://securebuild.com — a new way for open source projects and maintainers to earn revenue by partnering with and endorsing our Zero-CVE container images of their project. We’ve spent the last decade at Replicated (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9841243) helping commercial and open source software vendors securely distribute their apps to enterprise environments. During that time, we saw firsthand how hard it is for maintainers to fund their work, and how increasingly demanding enterprises have become when it comes to demonstrable…

Hello Hacker News! We’re Willem, Roeland, Felix and Madeline from Aikido Security (https://aikido.dev/) We’re building a “no BS’ application security platform. It’s the platform we wish existed, but couldn’t find. Willem, our CTO had to manage (application) security at many of his previous startups, and honestly, hated it. Most security tools we had to use made us feel dumb. They were super complex and riddled with false positives. Their platform was behind the book a demo button. They had intransparent pricing models and honestly charged us way too much. We think most of…
