24 alternatives to Oxynote – Technical knowledge base with live Prometheus charts
Hey HN, I wanted to share a project my friend Dovydas and I (Simon) have been working on for a while. It’s a knowledge base platform built specifically for developers and technical teams. It has a similar feel to Notion and supports live collaboration, but it also has technical "power blocks" for API specs, runbooks, RFCs, as well as live metrics from external sources like Prometheus. On top of that, document changes can be reviewed like GitHub PRs, while still preserving rich text blocks and chart displays. The simplest way to describe it is: what if Notion, Grafana, and the PR review parts…

My personal knowledge base is hosted on GitHub at https://raphaelsty.github.io/knowledge/. It scans the documents I like every day using GitHub Action, Zotero, HackerNews upvote and Github Likes. It's not yet optimized for smartphones. It cost me $5 to host it for a year.

Built this because I'm sick of keeping documentation up to date when everyone's using AI tools now. It will not only generate missing docs / update / remove docs as they need alignment, but you can hook up the MCP to whatever agent is being used these days and it'll inform it of codebase conventions & relevant documentation, telling it to update docs as it find them or as it makes changes (in the same PR as related work), and reduces spend on tokens by getting things right the first time without having to grep the whole codebase for context or go through 5 rounds of "follow our…

Hi, I am Krishna Thota. I am building an open source integration and data platform(https://cptn.io). The product is MIT licensed and the repo is at https://github.com/cptn-io/el-cptn. I have started on my startup journey an year ago and launched a monitoring platform called DevRaven. Unfortunately the product did not takeoff as expected. That story is for another day. But during the course of building the product, I have built several integrations leveraging MQs and Cloud Functions. While building and deploying Cloud Functions for happy paths is easy, I had to…

A common open source approach to observability will begin with databases and visualizations for telemetry - Grafana, Prometheus, Jaeger. But observability doesn’t begin and end here: these tools require configuration, dashboard customization, and may not actually pinpoint the data you need to mitigate system risks. Coroot was designed to solve the problem of manual, time-consuming observability analysis: it handles the full observability journey — from collecting telemetry to turning it into actionable insights. We also strongly believe that simple observability should be an innovation…
