24 alternatives to Private RubyGem Server
TL;DR - http://www.gemfury.com - pre-launch feedback appreciated Hello HN, In true hacker tradition, a tool built for ourselves often grows into a service of its own. In the past few months, we've been polishing our private RubyGem server into something that other Ruby developers can use. Today, I'd like to ask for your feedback on where we stand and whether we're "launch-ready". The service is called Gemfury and offers customers a private RubyGem repository in the cloud. The story is that many RubyGems are built as open source and solid infrastructure exists to develop and distribute those.…
Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Private RubyGem Server launched in 2012; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…

I've been trying to write my "go on rails" framework for years. I never quite got it like I wanted. There is gin and echo and all sorts of other frameworks and patterns but I finally found something I really like: /foo/ /foo/bar/ /foo/bar/more/ That's it. Just three levels and all my controllers get passed in what's between the / with var names first, second, third. In order to really make sure this framework could build something real I made a Hacker News clone. RemoteRenters.com is a HN just for articles about the remote work revolution…

Hey all, I just put out a new release. Would you spare a couple minutes to try and give some feedback? If you already have the gem installed, you will have to update it: gem update faastruby Tutorial => https://faastruby.io/tutorial.html Top 3 Highlights - No more fiddling with git. - Functions are packaged, deployed and managed individually. - TESTS! Functions can have tests and they can be configured to run before each deploy, aborting if it fails. Thanks in advance!

Morning HN. I had an issue recently where I wanted to share some private Github repositories with a larger audience than usual (25k+) on Youtube and was simply considering making my code public. Came up with an idea to build a middleman service that handles user access/management, generate share links and even paywall individual repos. Thought I might as well share here in case there's another dev out there who might be interested in sharing a private repo. Keen to get any feedback as I'm currently building

OpenHub▲13Hi HN We were tired of wasting time setting up open-source apps, so we built OpenHub — a one-click way to deploy 50+ tools like Metabase, n8n, Uptime Kuma, and more. No Docker, no config — just pick an app and it’s live with a public URL. Built it for ourselves, now sharing it with everyone. Would love your thoughts and feedback! https://www.producthunt.com/products/nife-labs/launches/open... Thanks! – Jigar & team

wsgrok▲7I built it for myself because ngrok didn't let me add one more domain unless I paid $12 more. I probably should've looked for alternatives before building my own, but my grudge got in the way . Once I started, I wanted to make it better than the other options. Silly, I know. No one probably cares. I plan to open source it sometime next year because I’ve got other projects to finish first. It's free until I deplete my cloud credits, then it will switch to a tier-based model with a free option.

I love ruby and rails, but agile Daily-Stand-ups (DSU) are a pain in the butt. I have a hard time remembering what to share; what I did yesterday, one-offs I did the day before because I completely forgot. Anyhow, I created this really lovely little, but powerful ruby gem, called dsu. Currently, we're a small, but dedicated band of users who love the tool. You may love it also. If anyone wants to give it a try. Enjoy: Visit the dsu ruby gem wiki: https://github.com/gangelo/dsu/wiki Straight to rubygems.org: https://rubygems.org/gems/dsu

I've been working on Red Candle, a Ruby gem that runs LLMs (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi) directly in your Ruby process through Rust bindings (based on the candle crate from Hugging Face). No Python, no servers - just FFI with Metal/CUDA acceleration. It's been useful for adding AI features to Rails apps without the complexity of managing separate services. Would love feedback from anyone working with LLMs in Ruby.

So I'm a junior Go dev and I made a small site that allows me to share images with someone privately and securely, and give me control over how many times the private link can be shared and how long the image will be accessible for. There are similar services to this one, but they are either convoluted with ads, or require sign-up, or expect you to fill out a survey or something. picburn is small, safe, and has no interest (nor the code or the server space) for storing your uploads. give it a try if it fits your usecase and let me know what you think. Note: there was a typo in the url
