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! I develop Monadic Chat, an open-source framework that connects language models to a Linux environment via Docker. It allows AI agents to execute code, run Jupyter notebooks, and perform web scraping in a secure, sandboxed environment. Key features: - Sandboxed environment for AI code execution - Support for multiple language models - Easy integration with existing Docker workflows I built this because I needed a reliable way to let AI agents interact with a real computing environment while maintaining security and reproducibility.

Fluxer▲154Hey HN, and happy new year! I'm Hampus Kraft [1], a 22-year-old software developer nearing completion of my BSc in Computer Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. I've been working on Fluxer on and off for about 5 years, but recently decided to work on it full-time and see how far it could take me. Fluxer is an open source [2] communication platform for friends, groups, and communities (text, voice, and video).
