Actionate – GitHub Actions for JetBrains IDEs

I’m excited to share Actionate, a passion project my team and I have been building to reimagine GitHub Actions within JetBrains IDEs. We’ve spent over a decade working in innovation labs at major tech companies, but our true passion lies in crafting tools that we genuinely want to use every day. With Actionate, we’re not just integrating CI/CD into JetBrains; we’re leveraging the powerful building blocks provided by JetBrains and GitHub Actions to create new, transformative functionality. Our MVP (Minimum Viable Product) focuses on the most essential features we find critical for a…

In plain words

Actionate is a GitHub Actions integration for JetBrains IDEs that brings CI/CD workflows directly into the development environment. It allows developers to access and manage GitHub Actions without leaving their IDE, streamlining the development process. The tool focuses on essential workflow features while exploring functionality beyond traditional CI/CD to enhance developer productivity.

    Hi all! I wanted to share a small project that I've been working on with a buddy. https://www.actionspanel.app/ One of the problems that currently exists with GitHub Actions is the fact that there is no way to easily trigger your Actions unless you cause some kind of GitHub event. This could be pushing a new commit, or creating an issue on a repository. But if you just want to run an arbitrary action, there's not currently a good way to do that. This is a well known feature request: https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/GitHub-Actions-Ma... GitHub…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
