Hi HN, I'm Adriano, one of the makers of Vaultrice. I'm excited (and a little nervous!) to share what we've been building. For years, we found ourselves in a frustrating loop: whenever we needed a simple real-time feature—like a "who's online" list, a collaborative app, or just sharing state between a marketing site and our main app — we'd end up spending days setting up the same stack or discarded to do it. Setting it up, it always involved wiring together a database, a WebSocket server, an API, and managing the connection state. It felt like massive overkill for what we were trying to…

Hi all, author here. SX started as a CLI to let developers share skills across AI clients without having to rely on git for storage. This allowed sharing at the Repo/Team/Org and Personal level. However, the more we spoke to users the more we realized that non-technical users were actually using skills more and more but they had no way to share. And there was no way you were going to get your legal team to install and learn git. SX 2.0 is targeting non-technical teams by adding a native Mac, Windows and Linux app. Our vault format was reworked so it can be used directly as a claude…

AI Vault▲5I built Vault-AI to solve a problem I kept running into when building AI apps: API keys and secrets end up scattered in .env files, hardcoded, or shared insecurely. Vault-AI is a lightweight, self-hosted secrets manager — kind of like HashiCorp Vault, but simplified and aimed at AI workloads. It runs in Docker, comes with a simple CLI, and manages tenants, token-based auth, secret rotation, rollback, version history, and audit logs. Quickstart: git clone → ./start.sh → vault-ai store/get Repo: https://gitlab.com/vaultaiproject/vault-ai.git Would love feedback…

I have been working on Sesame, an open-source password manager that keeps your vault local by default. You don't need an account to create or use a vault, and the hosted service never receives the vault itself. It's still early software and the independent security review isn't finished yet, so I am mainly interested in feedback, testing, and people looking through the code. (Linux support is yet to be released on v0.1.2, but currently is in the works.)

Hi HN, I built VaultNote, a local-first note-taking app that runs entirely in the browser. Key ideas: - 100% local-first: no backend or server - No login, accounts, or tracking - Notes stored locally in IndexedDB / LocalStorage - AES encryption with a single master password - Tree-structured notes for organizing knowledge The goal was to create a simple note app where your data never leaves your device. You can open the site, enter a master password, and start writing immediately. Since everything is stored locally, VaultNote also supports import/export so you can back up your…
