Products that do what Private RubyGem Server does
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.…

I built HackerBuddy.com with the idea of helping the Hacker News community get one-on-one help with fellow hackers that know their stuff. It matches up people that are good at a particular skill (Ruby on Rails, Python, beta-testing, general startup advice etc) with people that need that specialist help. All it does is swap your email address so that hackers can give fellow hackers one-on-one advice. I built the site as a way to learn Ruby on Rails, I'm still a bit green when it comes to coding so there's a very good chance that the server will fall over. Any feedback you guys have would be…

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

Just created this ruby gem that creates random domain names based on a dictionary and tells you if they're available.

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!

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.

Hey folks, wanted to show this off and get feedback. Still early/experimental but there are quite a few concepts I'm excited about here. This project came about while writing a program in Go and loving its approach to concurrency. Being a long-time Rubyist I immediately started to think about what similar concepts might look like in Ruby. I set out with two main design constraints: 1. Lightweight: I didn't want routines to be backed by fibers or threads. Having been involved some in the async project (https://github.com/socketry/async), I had some experience using…

It scrapes Ruby/Ruby on Rails jobs from six sites: Gorails, Weworkremotely, Ruby on Remote, Ruby on Rails jobs, Rails Hotwire Jobs, WeAreHiring, and displays them right in your terminal! The scraper lives on: https://github.com/binarygit/job_scraper Please comment other sites that you use to look up Ruby/ROR jobs!

I 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.

Hi, over the past few months I've been working on this project: Numax is a small Rust runtime that does three things: it runs WebAssembly modules in a sandbox, has a built-in local key-value store, and syncs everything across nodes with CRDTs and gossip. Basically, you write a wasm module, run it on two machines, and they converge (I hope !). It's a decentralized system... I hope someone finds it interesting! There's a whitepaper I've put a lot into, and I think the code isn't bad either! I believe there's still room in this world for software that's fun and well made, and while building…

tl;dr: My first Ruby project: https://github.com/symkat/GFM-Service Something I have wanted for a long time, has been to use GitHub Flavored Markdown in projects. Since those projects haven't been Ruby, using the awesome libraries GitHub's released has been a non-started. Now, running this and using HTTP and JSON from any language lets me use GitHub Flavored Markdown in my projects.
