    Understanding any GitHub repository is tough, especially a big one - this project aims to make it a tad bit easier by giving the listener a primer + some details on the specific repository. For some people (like me) - audio/visual medium is more easily understandable. So, I hope this project is helpful to some of them. This project was inspired by https://gitdiagram.com - so check it out as well, and maybe use them together for better understanding. Future plans: 1. To add more voices and let users choose most natural one (decide between OpenAI/Microsoft Speech) 2. Custom…

    What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

    I’ve been in the MLOps space for ~10 years, and data is still the hardest unsolved open problem. Code is versioned using Git, data is stored somewhere else, and context often lives in a 3rd location like Slack or GDocs. This is why we built XetHub, a platform that enables teams to treat data like code, using Git. Unlike Git LFS, we don’t just store the files. We use content-defined chunking and Merkle Trees to dedupe against everything in history. This allows small changes in large files to be stored compactly. Read more here:…

    GitRanks▲127

    Hi HN, I built GitRanks because I’ve always wanted a clear, fun way to see how my open-source work compares - both globally and right here at home. The app pulls in GitHub data to give every developer an at-a-glance “scorecard”, then rolls those into live leaderboards so you can: - Track rankings by stars, contributions and followers - Filter worldwide vs. your own country - Refresh daily - no waiting weeks to see your progress - Discover rising devs you’ve never heard of and follow their work Tech Stack: - Back: MongoDB | NestJS | BullMQ | GraphQL - Front: Next.js | Tailwind | Shadcn Data:…

    This was more so an exercise in prompting with Lovable and Cursor than it was in creating a highly polished product/tool. Yet the end result works :) AuthorTrail is a locally running web UI that you can point to any Git repo. It will then look for all the files you have ever touched. This can be useful for large repos with lots of activity, where you want to remind yourself how you did something in the past. For example, I am using it to remind myself how I wrote an obscure unit test, without needing to browse my older PRs. Feedback welcome!
