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, We're excited to share repo2vec: a simple-to-use, modular library enabling you to chat with any public or private codebase. It's like Github Copilot but with the most up-to-date information about your repo. We made this because sometimes you just want to learn how a codebase works and how to integrate it, without spending hours sifting through the code itself. We tried to make it dead-simple to use. With two scripts, you can index and get a functional interface for your repo. Every generated response shows where in the code the context for the answer was pulled from. We also made it…

Hi HN! I've been building ReadyKit, an open-source SaaS boilerplate that handles all the hard parts: multi-tenant workspaces, Stripe billing, OAuth + MFA authentication, and a production-ready stack. Built with Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Vue 3, it's designed for indie makers and teams who want to ship SaaS products fast. Clone, configure your OAuth and Stripe keys, and you're running in 5 minutes. Features include automatic query scoping for workspace isolation, audit logs, role-based access, and a modern UX kit. MIT licensed and free forever. GitHub:…

The official Slack AI product looks great, but with limited access and add-on pricing, I decided to open-source the version I built. Especially for all the communities on Slack that would have to convert to paid and buy the upgrade to access the official SlackAI product/add-on which is not going to be financially viable in most cases. There's no plan to sell anything, just something I built as a way to learn some new tools that I thought others might get use out of. The repo is a ready-to-run slack app that provides thread summaries and channel overviews on demand using OpenAI (heavy…

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…
