    Hello everyone! I'm a solo developer who's been doing UI/UX work since 2007. Over the years, I watched design tools evolve from lightweight products into bloated feature-heavy platforms. I kept finding myself using a small amount of the features while the rest just mostly got in the way. So a few years ago I set out to build a design tool just like I wanted. So I built Vecti with what I actually need: pixel-perfect grid snapping, a performant canvas renderer, shared asset libraries, and export/presentation features. No collaborative whiteboarding. No plugin ecosystem. No enterprise…

    Hey everyone, A couple years ago, I got into programming and fell down the rabbit hole of open-source software. I started realizing a lot of the commercial software I used had open-source alternatives. In 2020, those alternatives were good but not perfect replacements. With LLMs entering the scene, there are even more open-source alternatives now and they're narrowing the gap between proprietary options. LLMs also got me thinking: will people continue using proprietary or opensource applications in the future when they can build their own personal application tailored specifically for their…

    Hello Hacker News! We're Joseph, Kieran and David from elestio (https://elest.io/). We've built a platform that offers open-source software as a managed service - we take care of the OS and app updates, security, SSL, networking, backups, the whole deal. In 2009, we started deploying open-source software for websites and web apps we built, many for SMB and enterprise customers. Our process was basically: spin up VM's from a hosting provider, install the software we needed, then update it manually / when it was needed / critical, etc. Once we hit > 100…

    Kalmia started as a small hobby project about two months ago, but it quickly evolved when we needed a better solution to manage our office's documentation. It has now become our go-to tool for both internal and user-facing docs. Recently, we decided to open source it, as we believe others might benefit from a lightweight, customizable documentation system like this. We're excited to see how the community can take it further, contribute, and adapt it to their own needs!
