   ServBay▲399

   Hello HN, I’m one of the creators of ServBay. I built this because I got tired of the cognitive load required just to start coding. On my Mac, it was a fragile mix of Homebrew services and asdf conflicts. On Windows, managing PATH variables and fighting with Docker Desktop's resource usage was equally frustrating. I missed the simplicity of the MAMP/XAMPP era, but I needed to support modern stacks (Go, Rust, Node, etc.). What it is: ServBay is a native local development environment for both macOS and Windows. It is not a wrapper around Docker or VMs. It bundles everything you need into…

   Sidequest.js – Background jobs for Node.js using your database▲89

   Hey HN, I'm the maintainer of node-cron (5M+ downloads/month), and I recently built Sidequest.js, a background job runner for Node.js inspired by Oban (Elixir) and Sidekiq (Rails). It solves some common problems I saw with libraries like node-cron: - Jobs don’t block your API: they run in isolated worker threads - No Redis or vendor lock-in: use Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, or MongoDB - Supports retries, uniqueness, concurrency, snoozing, prioritization - Comes with a CLI and a simple dashboard - Works great in monoliths and doesn’t require extra infra Quick start (no signup needed):…

   Nub – A Bun-like all-in-one toolkit for Node.js▲277

   Colin here, creator of Nub. I’ve had the general shape of this in mind for years. Nub runs your code with stock `node`, augmented with a `--require` preload hook[0] that adds a transpiler (oxc-powered, packaged as a Node-API add-on), registers a module resolution hook[1], and injects polyfills as needed for APIs like `Worker`, `Temporal`, etc. All purely additive, your code ultimately runs using Node’s actual engine & stdlib implementations.

   RemoteStorage – sync localStorage across devices and browsers▲129

   Hey HN! Wanted to share a new library and server I've recently been working on called remoteStorage. When building frontends with Javascript, the native localStorage API is super useful for keeping track of state between sessions in the same browser, but it's not as good a solution when your data needs to be shared across multiple devices or browsers. For instance, let's say you want to show a welcome modal to all new users that sign up for your product. If you use localStorage to track if a user has already seen this modal, your users will end up getting the experience repeatedly every time…
