    Hey HN – I built Dock after years of team chat frustrations as a founder. Free forever for teams up to 5. Unlimited search, unlimited history. No "upgrade to see messages older than 90 days" nonsense. Built for teams who work both async and sync/real-time when it matters. runs on SOC 2 infra, compliant, secure and in-transit and at-rest encryption, runs on Cloudflare. Early stage – would love feedback from anyone who's felt the same pain.

    Hi HN! dyrector.io is an open-source container management platform with config & release management capabilities to your cloud, on-prem or hybrid infrastructure. You install the platform's agent to your infrastructure, add the registry you wanna deploy images from, and deploy them. We made the platform to allow people who don't know anything about containers to set them up in dozens or hundreds of deployment targets.
