    One of my goals with Ada is to have a one-liner copy-paste terminal command for people to install Ada so they can get to coding in just a few minutes. After extensive testing I feel like it's ready for general release[1]. Getada was inspired by Rustup[2] and aside from the init script is written entirely in Ada. It's completely open source and you can check out the readme and code on github[3]. It currently supports all non-windows platforms that Alire has an official release for, which at present is Linux (glibc) and MacOS. If you try running it on an unsupported platform, it tries to point…

    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…

    Hi HN, Package repositories don't need to be complicated. They're just static files: metadata indexes and the packages themselves. Yet somehow hosting your own feels like you need dedicated infrastructure and deep knowledge of obscure tooling. repogen is an SSG for package repos. Point it at your .deb/.rpm/.apk files, it generates the static structure, you upload to S3 or any web host. Done. $0.02/month to host packages for your whole team. It supports Debian, RPM, Alpine, Pacman, and Homebrew. Has incremental mode for updating repos without redownloading everything. Handles…

    Hey HN! We've developed OpenAPI AutoSpec, a tool for automatically generating OpenAPI specifications from localhost network traffic. It’s designed to simplify the creation of API documentation by just using your website or service, especially useful when you're pressed for time. Documenting endpoints one by one sucks. This project originated from us needing it at our past jobs when building 3rd-party integrations. It acts as a local server proxy that listens to your application’s HTTP traffic and automatically translates this into OpenAPI 3.0 specs, documenting endpoints, requests, and…

    Hey HN, we're Eliza and Xin, and we’ve been working on Attune. Attune is a tool for publishing Linux packages. Previously, we worked at other startups building open source developer tools that ran on our customers’ CI and development machines. For many of them, being able to `apt-get install` our tools was a requirement. When we went to actually set up APT repositories, we were really surprised by the state of tooling around package publishing. The open source tools we found were old, slow, and difficult to figure out how to run in CI. The commercial tools we found were not much better. The…

    Distr is designed to help software engineers distribute and manage their applications or agents in customer-controlled or shared-responsibility environments. You only need a Docker Compose file or Helm chart—everything else for on-prem is handled by the platform. We’re are an open source dev tool company. Over the past couple of months, we’ve spoken with dozens of software companies to understand their challenges with on-prem deployments. We analyzed the internal tools they’ve built and the best practices from existing solutions, combining them into a prebuilt, Open Source solution that…

    Hey, I'm Martyn and I recently joined Zuplo. OpenAPI is a huge part of what we do, but getting a document up to scratch out of the gate, especially if you're not super well versed in the actual specification and what you should use and when. So we built a suite of tools to help with this called Rate My OpenAPI. It will score your OpenAPI document out of 100, as well as giving you individual scores in 4 key areas; completeness, SDK generation, security and documentation. Along with the score, you also get details of what the issues, or errors are, as well as guidance on what they actually…

    We kept hitting the same wall: you clone some arbitrary repo and just want it to run without any configuration work. So we built Keystone, an open source tool that spins up a Modal sandbox, runs Claude Code inside it, and produces a working .devcontainer/ config (Dockerfile, devcontainer.json, test runner) for any git repo. We build on the dev container standard, so the output works with VS Code and GitHub Codespaces out of the box. Main use cases: reproducible dev/CI environments, self-describing repos, and safely sandboxed coding agents. Our goal is to encourage all repos to…

    Ota▲68

    Hi HN, We're building Ota. Ota is open repo readiness infrastructure. It makes software repositories runnable and trustworthy for human, CI, and AI agents. The problem we kept seeing is that the real truth of how a repo gets set up and run is usually scattered across READMEs, scripts, CI config, env files, and maintainer memory. That slows onboarding, causes local and CI drift, and makes automation brittle. Ota gives each repo one explicit operational contract for what it needs, how it becomes ready, and how tasks should run. The core flow is: - `ota doctor` to diagnose what is missing -…
