Products that do what Fork of Rsync does
Hello. After hearing of the problematic LLM commits in rsync, I made a fork of rsync. I decided to fork it off release 3.4.1, since I heard that's the last release without the LLM code.

Hello HN. I worked on this small project recently called dsync. I have a few directories where I keep adding stuff and I need to sync them to an external drive from time to time. In the spirit of "write your own tools", I wrote my own. The tool itself is really simple. It tries to sync source directories or files to a destination directory based on size and modification time, basically copying the source files if they don't match. dsync can use multiple threads (specified via an option). It uses a bounded multi-producer multi-consumer queue (C implementation of Dmitry Vyukov's bounded MPMC…

Our initial release is a Chrome extension that builds on top of Gmail and Google Calendar. We keep limited trace activity of coding sessions for 30 days to troubleshoot and improve our offering. No data (events, emails) from Google is ever logged or retained. 50 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ292bncO_c Chrome extension (free + no login): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fork-for-the-web/mf... We have a lot to learn and build. Would love any and all feedback! Paul & Dalton

We are a group of developers who forked Camunda 7, which will go EOL in October 2025 and be replaced by its proprietary successor Camunda 8. After removing all trademarks from the repository and code, we ported the build pipeline to GitHub actions, as it was previously running on a private Jenkins server. We also began a careful modernization of the code base, cleaning up the Maven setup along the way. We are now stabilizing the builds and adding integration tests one by one. We will consider the software stable and release a final 1.0.0 release as soon as we are able to run all the tests…

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past few weeks: llgtrt. It's a Rust implementation of a HTTP REST server for hosting Large Language Models using llguidance library for constrained output with NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM. The server is compatible with the OpenAI REST API and supports structured JSON schema enforcement as well as full context-free grammars (via Guidance). It's similar in spirit to the Python-based TensorRT-LLM OpenAI server example but written entirely in Rust and built with constraints in mind. No Triton Inference Server involved. This also serves as a demo…

I wrote a minimal traceroute(1) clone that leans on asynchrony to reduce the time spent tracing a route. Underneath, it uses ICMP to do its job. The plan is to add support for UDP tracing and a path maximum transmission unit discovery mechanism. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Raw performance (the lack of) is always a contentious point for JavaScript, especially in our post-Moore era of computing. Node.js gets around this issue through extensive of use of native libraries and modules written in C, including the V8 JS engine itself. But as application developers, how do YOU create high performance functions? Write in C and run as a NAPI module? Write in Rust and run as a V8 wasm? Well, there is another (better and faster) way now! The SSVM is a fully featured WebAssembly VM that is optimized for server-side applications.…

Hi I am Jan, CTO @ Pathway. A use case we have been working on with LLMs is to let people know when an answer to their query changes due to revisions of source documents. Obviously, we want to avoid periodically re-computing all queries for the LLM. Why I think it’s cool? - We don’t spin in a loop to repeat with the LLM. - Alerts are LLM-deduplicated - no spamming users with typo fixes - And the best - our framework, Pathway takes care of handling the updates, the example looks nearly like a regular, static RAG chatbot. More context + GIF of how it works for Google Drive document alerts:…

Hi HN, I’m sharing the alpha release of S2C, a state machine replication system built atop S3. The goal is to enable a distributed application to maintain consistent state without needing a quorum of nodes for availability or consistency. The idea came from a side project that was using S3 and where I needed strongly consistent distributed state but wanted to avoid adding a separate consensus dependency. I initially tried to use S3 directly for coordination, but it became messy. Eventually, I realized I need a replicated state machine with a deterministic log, and then it ended up as a…

Hi HN, We built Xybrid, a Rust library for running LLM + speech pipelines directly inside your app, no server, no daemon, just one binary. We started building it while working on a privacy-focused LLM app with Tauri and realized there wasn’t a straightforward way to embed models directly into shipped applications without relying on a separate server process. Xybrid links into your process like any other library. It supports GGUF / ONNX / CoreML and integrates with Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, Unity, and Tauri, letting you run pipelines like speech → LLM → speech in a single call. On…

Warp was my daily driver for years, and I still love the core product. But I wanted more privacy, less Oz agent stuff and a better UX experience for managing all my Claude Code/Codex sessions, especially across the repos I'm working on at once. So I forked Warp, gutted all the telemetry, account requirements, Oz agent stuff and have fine tuned the UX over the months to optimize it for session management. The awesome Warp terminal is still first class (auto complete, auto command suggestion etc) but with lots of QoL improvements for agent session management and organization. Some notable…

hi everyone. how does moving llm call prompts and output structure definitions away from code into configuration land sound? would you use something like this if it was stable and well documented enough? please don't hold back the criticism. i appreciate all feedback (constructive & otherwise).

Existing headless CMS tools are mostly making it up as they go along - starting with the idea of ‘I want to build a company that delivers a headless CMS’ and then quickly slapping a bunch of technologies together and ending up with a pile of JSONs floating around a MongoDB or another similar frankenstein. As we’d already built the document graph data layer from the ground up, we could properly integrate the CMS features to give a seamless developer experience. We are never going to send you to a screen that says, ‘TerminusCRM requires NodeJS version 10+ and a Mongo database’. It is all…

We've rolled out a feature for openbase.com that we think is a DX game changer for Node devs. Since the emergence of ECMA Script modules, it's been a continuous guessing game as to what kind of exports a package has. That's never really been discoverable without using a site like unpkg, or installing the package and inspecting package.json. Openbase now displays the ES Module support level (e.g. type of exports) on all of their package pages. We added this feature because our devs are some of the folks continually caught off guard by installing an NPM dependency only to find out it's…

Link: https://docs.trysoma.ai/ For the past ~9 months I’ve been building Soma, an open-source AI agent & workflow runtime written in Rust, with a TypeScript SDK (Python coming soon). It’s not a framework; it’s meant to sit underneath whatever agent/tooling code you already write (Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, custom code, etc.). It provides features around your framework + a better DX for building agents. I’ve tried to take a Next.JS model: open-source, good DX, self-deployable. I originally set out to build a vertical back-office/operations product for SMEs. I needed a…

Hi HN, I built a simple tool that summarizes your team’s git logs into a weekly update that teams can send to leaders, other teams, etc. I hated writing the same update multiple times a week to everyone asking “what’s the status of X” Copy your repo’s commit logs with git log —all —since=“1 week ago”, paste them, and get a well-formatted update. Planning to add Github integration to further automate. Curious what folks think.

Hey HN! We realised that LLMs are great at generating code for super popular libraries like React. But they kinda suck at using less popular/newly released libraries, forcing us to stick to established tools and hindering innovation. There is already a standard for creating documentation for LLMs (llmstxt.org), but in my experience the implementations have not been great so far. `llms.txt` works as a good index of the available pages, but in many cases they link to HTML pages. This is a waste for LLMs to parse through (For example, Hono's [best…

Hi, I've made a Dis virtual machine and Limbo programming language compiler (called RiceVM) in Rust. It can run Dis bytecode (for example, Inferno OS applications), compile Limbo programs, and includes a fairly complete runtime with garbage collection, concurrency features, and many of the standard modules from Inferno OS's original implementation. The project is still in an early stage, but if you're interested in learning more about RiceVM or trying it out, you can check out the links below: Project's GitHub repo: https://github.com/habedi/ricevm RiceVM documentation:…

Over the past few months, as we scaled our internal AI Agents, we hit a dead end: Running LLM-generated arbitrary code in Docker is basically running naked on security due to container escape risks. But using full traditional VMs takes minutes to boot and eats too much memory to support high-density concurrency. We loved the developer experience of SaaS sandboxes on the market, but they are closed-source, expensive, and have too high a barrier to entry for self-hosting. So, our team decided to build our own. After months of grinding, using RustVMM and KVM, we built a blazing-fast,…

We're two engineers that got fed up with context switching. Why do we need to do a git push, open a browser tab, wait for some task to actually start, bite nails (or read HackerNews) for 10 minutes or more while dependencies are being installed for the 100th time and finally end up with an invalid YAML error. And for some reason this usually happens in the final stage of the pipeline leading up to the inevitable git commits "Fixed", "Fixed again", "Test", "Really fixed this time". We can do better. We set out to build Zippy. A CI/CD system that works from your terminal. No context…
