Products that do what Dependicus, a dashboard for your monorepo's dependencies does

Late last year, I was digging into some dependency-related tech debt, and struggling with how long it takes to run pnpm's introspection commands like 'pnpm why' in a medium-size monorepo. So I started working on a simple static site generator that would let me view the output of these expensive commands all at once, to make problems clearly visible instead of requiring deep exploration one at a time. Once I had that working, I realized I had enough data to add ticket tracking. It uses the data it gathers from the package manager to keep Linear or GitHub issues updated. And by auto-assigning…

    Hi all! I've built a small tool to visualize how inefficient `docker pull` is, in preparation for standing up a new Docker registry + transport. It's bugged me for a while that updating one dependency with Docker drags along many other changes. It's a huge problem with Docker+robotics. With dozens or hundreds of dependencies, there's no "right" way to organize the layers that doesn't end up invalidating a bunch of layers on a single dependency update - and this is ignoring things like compiled code, embedded ML weights, etc. Even worse, many robotics deployments are on terrible internet,…

    Built this as a guide for users of my hosting service. Everything here was run on a real instance. The Mesa/LLVM dependency is genuinely painful on a 1GB disk, and I couldn't find a way around it. WindowMaker won the window manager battle purely on dependency chain cleanliness; it pulls in no GTK, no Python, no audio stack. Happy to answer questions about any of the choices made. Screenshots at the end.

    Hi, this is my first npm package that is getting a couple of hundreds downloads. It's a super simple CLI time tracker, mostly suitable for 9 to 5 jobs I hope you check it out and tell me what you think. Demo and etc. https://github.com/omidfi/moro

    I got sick of: - Re-writing the same Terraform for the same common AWS infrastructure - Re-writing the same Rails code to build the same webapp - Re-configuring the same monitoring systems & CI/CD pipelines - Spending a week in dependency & configuration hell wiring it all together When I was launching my first two startups, I wished I had a strong starting point with all of the best practices & technology configured out-of-the-box. Every tool I found wanted to lock me in to some PaaS provider (that might not even exist in a year) who wanted to take a premium on my infrastructure spend…

    Hi HN, I built Hypermod to help developers automate large-scale code migrations. If you've ever had to upgrade dependencies, refactor thousands of files, or apply the same fix across multiple repos, you know how painful and time-consuming it can be. Hypermod makes this process faster and more reliable by combining static analysis, AI-powered codemods, and GitHub automation. Why I Built This I've spent years working with large codebases where upgrading dependencies or migrating frameworks was a nightmare—lots of manual work, brittle scripts, and coordination across teams. Existing tools like…

    Frustrated by the complexity and resource drain of multi service monitoring stacks, I built Simon. I wanted a single, lightweight dashboard to replace the heavy stack and the constant need for an SSH client for routine tasks. The result is a resource efficient dashboard in a single Rust binary, just a couple of megabytes in size. Its support for various architectures on Linux also makes it ideal for embedded systems and lightweight SBCs. It integrates: Comprehensive Monitoring: Realtime and historical metrics for the host system and Docker containers (CPU, memory, disk usage, and network…

    Hi there, I've created this side project to make it easier to find interesting repositories using AI. There's still a lot of work to be done to improve it, so any suggestions for enhancements would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    I built this because I was tired of creating pull requests in 20 repositories just to change a single line of workflow job version. With Infra as AI, just mention the change. Agents work on all repos in parallel, read the docs, make a bunch of PRs and fill in the description. You can see the demo of the actual dashboard in the landing. Let me know your thoughts :) It means a lot to me!

    Hi HN! Flocklist.app is a minimalist, private dependency tracker. I mostly just built this for myself, since I would sit down to work, look at my to-do list, and I couldn't do 2/3 of the tasks. None of the solutions to this really cut it, either because they are a little clunky or are enterprise scale (like Jira, Linear, you know the rest). I figure I can't be the only one with this problem, so I built this free app to fix it. (It also doesn’t store tasks in the cloud.) I would love to hear any feedback you have!

    There are plenty of ways to deploy your apps. PaaS options like Vercel or Netlify are convenient but can get pricey as projects scale. VPS hosting is cheaper, but setting it up (Linux, networking, SSL, etc.) can be daunting. That’s why glueh-wyy-huet (https://github.com/glueh-wyy-huet) and I (https://github.com/biersoeckli) built QuickStack during our bachelor studies at Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences. QuickStack simplifies deployment by letting you deploy directly from a Git repo or Docker registry to any VPS. It’s free, open source, and…

    Two weeks ago I wished I knew how quickly the watcher count on some of my repos was growing. Now I can. In addition to watchers, I'm also tracking issues, forks, and repo size. I find it fascinating to watch how issues trickle in throughout the day for large project like Rails http://bit.ly/rvsNLM. Also interesting to see how Node seems to be rapidly growing in size http://bit.ly/vstVN9. Let me know what you think http://gitego.com/

    Hi HN, I built Repomap, a tool that generates interactive architecture diagrams from any GitHub repository. It uses a Rust + tree-sitter engine to analyze the codebase and produces a D3-based graph UI with clustering, zoom/pan, and live progress updates

    Hey HN, Ivan here We just shipped the new web version of Sourcewizard — this time it’s not installing code, planning instead the entire integration so it works on the first try. Here's how it works: - Connect your repo - Pick any service eg: Sentry, Statsig, PostHog, Resend, Clerk - Sourcewizard deep-scans your codebase, figures out your architecture + workflows - Asks 3-6 questions about how you want to use the integration specifically in your codebase - Returns out a personalized plan: ready-to-paste prompt for Claude/Cursor We made this because we kept fighting with cursor when doing…

    Over the last few weeks, I worked on a set of tools which enables (1) a modern workflow to build customized images for Raspberry Pi, (2) robust over-the-air updates with rollback support of the entire system, including firmware files, and (3) managed state which is preserved across reboots and updates. The goal is to have a reliable platform for creating Raspberry Pi-based products. The initial motivation for the project came from one of our customers who uses Raspberry Pi to control test benches for pedelecs. The entire project is open-source. Feel free to check it out and give it a try.…
