Kodus▲145Hey everyone, Just wanted to share a quick update we just launched at Kodus. For those who don’t know it yet, Kodus is a code review agent that runs directly in your team’s Git workflow (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket… and now Azure DevOps as well). It helps maintain code quality and consistency by analyzing each PR based on your team’s own rules and repository standards. Support for Azure had been a common request — so if your team uses it, you can now plug Kodus right into your workflow and give it a try. Docs: https://docs.kodus.io/how_to_use/en/overview Repo:…

Hi HN, We're building Kexa.io (https://github.com/kexa-io/Kexa), an open-source tool developed in France (incubated at Euratech Cyber Campus) to help teams automate the often tedious process of verifying IT security and compliance. Keeping track of configurations across diverse assets (servers, K8s, cloud resources) and ensuring they meet security baselines (like CIS benchmarks, etc.) manually is challenging and error-prone. Our goal with the open-source core is to provide a straightforward way to define checks, scan your assets, and get clear reports on your security…

ctx is a local SQLite-backed skill for Claude Code and Codex that stores context as a persistent workstream that can be continued across agent sessions. Each workstream can contain multiple sessions, notes, decisions, todos, and resume packs. It essentially functions as a /resume that can work across coding agents. Here is a video of how it works: https://www.loom.com/share/5e558204885e4264a34d2cf6bd488117 I initially built ctx because I wanted to try a workstream that I started on Claude and continue it from Codex. Since then, I’ve added a few quality of life…

I have been building the open source project https://github.com/claceio/clace. Clace is an application server that builds and deploys containers, allowing it to manage webapps in any language/framework. Compared to application servers like Nginx Unit, Clace has the advantage of being able to work with any application, without requiring any dependency or packaging changes. Clace provides a blue-green staged deployment model for apps. Not just code changes, even configuration changes are staged and can be verified before being made live. Clace is not a PaaS solution,…

Hi fellow readers of HN, Josef here again[0] with another book :). This time about Kamal. = Background When 37signals released their new deployment tool Kamal[1], I was intrigued since it fits well with my 'keep it simple' deployment philosophy. I slowly adopted the tool and today I deploy all new projects with Kamal. However, I have seen people giving it a go and giving up, because the initial documentation was not enough. So I sat down for a few weeks and wrote Kamal Handbook, the missing manual to Kamal. = What's Kamal? Kamal is an imperative deployment tool. It's basically a successor to…
