    ServBay▲399

    Hello HN, I’m one of the creators of ServBay. I built this because I got tired of the cognitive load required just to start coding. On my Mac, it was a fragile mix of Homebrew services and asdf conflicts. On Windows, managing PATH variables and fighting with Docker Desktop's resource usage was equally frustrating. I missed the simplicity of the MAMP/XAMPP era, but I needed to support modern stacks (Go, Rust, Node, etc.). What it is: ServBay is a native local development environment for both macOS and Windows. It is not a wrapper around Docker or VMs. It bundles everything you need into…

    Howdy HN! I find myself testing my ping from time to time, especially when my internet seems wonky while WFH. It feels like there should be an easier way test my ping than puling up a terminal or a complex web app - especially when I'm on my phone or any other device that doesn't have a terminal. I figured I should be the change I wish to see in the world and created this super light ping test. I also created a latency monitoring solution (https://github.com/cjjeakle/network-monitor), feel free to clone and try it out! I know there are a lot more mature monitoring…

  24. 24PA

    Pinggy is a location-based social app built around short, ephemeral text posts from people in your city. No likes, no followers, no algorithmic feeds - just a chronological stream of local conversations that disappear in 7 days. I built it because most social apps today optimize for reach, virality, and influencer dynamics, which often pushes out authentic, everyday voices. I wanted something smaller, more human — a digital town square where people in the same city can talk without the pressure of metrics or permanent history. Pinggy tries to bring back spontaneous, local conversations by…
