Astral
A Performance-First Version Control System
Astral launched on January 20, 2026 with 1 votes.
What it does
Astral is a modern, performance-first version control system built in Go. It uses content-addressable storage with BLAKE3 for fast hashing, strong security, and automatic deduplication. Astral removes the staging area and commits directly from the working tree. Designed with concurrency at its core, it prioritizes simple internals, clear workflows, and correctness. Not a Git replacement, but a clean-slate experiment in modern version control.
A modern, blazingly fast version control system built in Go.

Talanoa▲346Hi 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 wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
