Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. A few months ago, we introduced here at HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34806482) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else. While talking to developers and devops, we found that a lot of companies use many tools…

GitQuest▲187Hey HN, I built Git Quest, it reads your public GitHub history and turns it into an idle RPG character. How it works: - Your most-used language determines your class (TypeScript → Paladin, Python → Sage, etc.) - Commits generate Power and XP - Your character auto-battles dungeons while you code – no active play needed - Enemies drop loot across 5 rarity tiers - Live leaderboard ranks developers It only reads public GitHub data. I built it because I wanted something that rewards coding consistency without being another "streak" tracker. The idle mechanic means prolific coders naturally…

I was frustrated with how bad a signal of progress through a big PR "Files viewed" was, so I made a "Lines viewed" indicator to complement it. Designed to look like a stock Github UI element - even respects light/dark theme. Runs fully locally, no API calls. Splits insertions and deletions by default, but you can also merge them into a single "lines" figure in the settings.

We now write most of our code with agents. For a while, PRs piled up, causing review fatigue, and we had this sinking feeling that standards were slipping. Consistency is tough at this volume. I’m sharing the solution we found, which has become our main product. Continue (https://docs.continue.dev) runs AI checks on every PR. Each check is a source-controlled markdown file in `.continue/checks/` that shows up as a GitHub status check. They run as full agents, not just reading the diff, but able to read/write files, run bash commands, and use a browser. If it finds…

Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep Here. We were tired of creating alerts for our applications, so we've built an open-source GitHub Bot that lets you write application alerts using plain English. The code is open-sourced: https://github.com/keephq/keep so you can review it yourself. Every developer and DevOps professional is familiar with the fact that in order to ensure your application works in production, you need to access your observability tool's user interface (such as Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, etc.) and carefully determine how to create alerts that…

I built a GitHub app that checks for uncompleted checkboxes within pull request comments and blocks the merge if found. This allows you to treat checkboxes as to-do’s and: * Open pull requests with a to-do list template -> make sure all steps are completed before merging * Leave to-do reminders for yourself as you work on a pull request * Leave to-do reminders for someone else as part of your code review Especially useful for large PRs with collapsed comments.

All— Lazy Sundays are for fun vibe coding, and this particular weekend, I decided to play around with the GitHub API. Ended up building this little app: GitHub Detective. It fetches the latest activity of a user, but in a nice way—you can filter by categories like PRs, issues, comments, etc., and easily navigate to them. You can also generate a sarcastic analysis of the user based on their activity, then download and share it with friends. :)

This was more so an exercise in prompting with Lovable and Cursor than it was in creating a highly polished product/tool. Yet the end result works :) AuthorTrail is a locally running web UI that you can point to any Git repo. It will then look for all the files you have ever touched. This can be useful for large repos with lots of activity, where you want to remind yourself how you did something in the past. For example, I am using it to remind myself how I wrote an obscure unit test, without needing to browse my older PRs. Feedback welcome!
