I've built a tool called sol (like "soul") that helps you inspect and format complex shell one-liners. Features: - Choose which transformations you want (break on pipe, args, redirect, whatever) - "Peeks" into stringified commands (think xargs, parallel) and formats those, too - Auto-breaks at a given width (e.g., 80 characters) - Shows you non-standard aliases, functions, files, etc. that you might not have in your shell environment - Breaks up long jq lines with jqfmt because—let's be honest—they're getting out of hand As a security researcher and tool developer, I often encounter (or…

Hi HN, I'm Mohammed, a technical founder who loves shipping and giving back to the community. I'm open-sourcing the full-stack engine that powers my B2B product, apflow.co. What it is: A production B2B starter with a Go backend and Next.js frontend. Both are fully Dockerized with separate containers. No Vercel. No Supabase. Deploy the whole thing on a $6 VPS, or split frontend and backend across different providers. You own the infrastructure. The problem I was solving: Every SaaS starter I evaluated had the same issue: they locked me into someone else's platform. Vercel for hosting.…

Really, that's it: an open source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify, Laravel Cloud and the likes. Obviously simpler, but it should handle the basics pretty well: - Git-based deployments: Push to deploy from GitHub with zero-downtime rollouts and instant rollback. - Multi-language support: Python, Node.js (beta), PHP (soon)... basically anything that can run on Docker. - Environment management: Multiple environments with branch mapping and encrypted environment variables. - Real-time monitoring: Live and searchable build and runtime logs. - Team collaboration:…

Hey HN, I built Server Compass because I got tired of two extremes: paying $200+/month to Vercel/Railway for a polished deploy experience, or wrestling with self-hosted panels (Coolify, CapRover, Dokploy) that eat up half my VPS resources just to run their dashboard. The core idea: A GUI SSH client that gives you Vercel-like deployment UX on your own VPS. Nothing gets installed on your server except your apps – every command runs over SSH from your desktop. What it does: - 1-click deploys from GitHub repos or 160+ pre-built templates (Postgres, WordPress, Ghost, Supabase, n8n,…

Hi HN. Today we released Dagster Cloud to general availability [1], which includes a new feature you can try that we're calling Branch Deployments. Branch Deployments were inspired by Vercel's Preview Deployments feature and deep GitHub integration. We're hoping we can bring a similar developer experience improvement to the data domain. Let us know your feedback! [1] https://dagster.io/blog/dagster-cloud-ga-launch
