Hi HN! This is Assaf, Matan, and Yshay from https://livecycle.io/ Livecycle enables dev teams to collaborate and comment in context, on top of any preview environment. Using Livecycle, developers get clear feedback earlier in the release cycle leading to higher-quality products, a faster release cadence, and fewer context switches and misunderstandings. Livecycle builds and pushes a dev-like environment for every branch in your repo (or, if you prefer, you can bring your own environments). Any containerized application will work, and support for multiple containers via…

Hi HN! We’re excited to share with you the public beta launch of our startup, HiDimensional (www.hidimensional.com). We are a platform consisting of senior engineering leaders who interview candidates and provide recommendations of the best candidates and their strengths. We then use the recommendations to refer these candidates to founders of startups that match their strengths and interests. The recommendation serves as a personal referral from the interviewer, so for candidates, it amplifies their application and fast-tracks them through the process. And for companies, they are receiving…

Hey HN, I'm Fedor (solo founder). After ~20 years of watching devs fight Git, I'm building Branching. Branching streams your local edits to teammates in real time - no manual push/pull. It's Git-compatible and works offline. Why you might care - Teams see each other's changes instantly instead of in PR-sized batches - Conflicts surface ASAP while context is fresh (LLM-assisted merge is experimental, off by default) - Same GitHub remote, so no migration Ships today - VSCode extension + desktop app (macOS / Windows / Linux) - 3 small product teams have been using it for 1–6…

Hey everyone, I’m thrilled to launch Exit-Insights on this fine monday evening. Problem: When my co-founders and I were working on our individual projects, one common issue we faced was around conversion. We used to drive traffic but had literally no idea why visitors left the landing page without converting. What we needed: We needed two pieces of information 1.Why did the visitors not convert? 2.Where did these visitors come from? Solution: While brainstorming we decided to build a simple tool that would help us and other founders as well to solve this problem hence we got to work and…

Hello HN, I've just released a new migration tool for Go that mimics the functionality of Ruby on Rails migrations. It's designed to help Go developers manage database schema changes with ease. This allows you several benefits: - Write type-safe migrations - Auto down of migrations whenever it's possible - Easy backfill even with business logic because it's Go code - Painless integration with existing schema - sql.DB compatible and driver agnostic (it uses your driver) I have a pretty complete API to manage Postgres schema and I am working on the SQLite one (a little more complicated due to…

Hello HN, Later today I'll be shutting down the servers and moving on. This is my 5th startup and the 4th failure. The reason is very simple: I understimated the cost of user acquisition. This is the second time this happened. The dozens of users actually love the software and are using it on a daily basis. I'm ruthless when it comes to coding and money. So, if you are building a startup: do not ignore how much money you will have to spend to get a user. If you are not able to find that number, something could be wrong with your model. Maybe someone smarter than me could write something…

Hi HN, I've been working on this for a while and it was hard to decide when to stop, either on the way information is presented or when to stop with adding entries. It's not meant as a blog, but rather as a reference that keeps growing. Link: https://thehardparts.dev Currently I've created 4 main section: - Failure Modes: ways project go wrong - Red Flags: early signals that are worth taking seriously - Tech Decisions: common and not so common trade-offs for hard choices - Playbooks - guided approach for situations that repeat I've also focused on creating links between them to…

Hey HN, We explored how decision-making happens under severe information asymmetry and used career exploration as a test subject. In practice, people converge on a small set of highly legible default paths, with little visibility into credible alternatives. That’s why we’re building Fig, a tool for reasoning about career paths when the next step isn’t obvious, given the dependence on fleeting personal preferences. Most existing tools respond by collapsing uncertainty into a single recommendation or by modeling careers as linear trajectories. That works reasonably well at the recruiting…

Hi HN, Over the past two years I’ve built and debugged a fair number of production pipelines—mainly retrieval‑augmented generation stacks, agent frameworks, and multi‑step reasoning services. A pattern emerged: most incidents weren’t outright crashes, but silent structural faults that slowly compromised relevance, accuracy, or stability. I began logging every recurring fault in a shared notebook. Colleagues started using the list for post‑mortems, so I turned it into a small public reference: 16 distinct failure modes (semantic drift after chunking, embedding/meaning mismatches,…

I've spent years watching hardware teams make the same mistakes — tooling committed before thermal was resolved, manufacturing processes not validated in PVT that only showed defects at volume, components going EOL unnoticed until the factory tried to order them. The pattern was always the same. The costs were always avoidable. Nobody had written it down. The result is The Hardest Hardware Lessons — covering the full journey from first prototype to end-of-life: EVT/DVT/PVT, factory evaluation, supply chain risk, mass production operations, field failures, and product lifecycle…

I’ve been working for a while on DBLift, an open-source database migration toolkit for Python teams. DBLift follows the same model flyway does with the same main commands and the same history table structure making it easy to switch from one to the other with the import_flyway command. By default DBLift is out of order meaning that any unapplied migration is eligible to be applied contrary to flyway which refuse to apply any migration with a lower version until you force it. You can still apply the original flyway model you can still opt-in with the —strict flag.…
