Binary artifact and release management, for everyone
Hey HN! I've been building a tool for teams to manage their software binaries and releases. Obviously tools like Artifactory exist - but coming from an apps/games background we found the vast majority of teams didn't use any dedicated tool for managing binaries. Finding what's out there too complex / expensive / missing features they'd find useful. A lot of Google Drive, SharePoint, and Slack dumping grounds - with context lost, and not really suited to keeping track of past builds, distribution, etc. Idea for Buildstash is to bring binary and release management to all…
In plain words
Buildstash is a binary and release management tool designed for software teams of all sizes. It addresses the problem of teams storing builds across Google Drive, SharePoint, and Slack by providing a centralized system to track, organize, and distribute software binaries and releases. The tool is built with simpler workflows and lower complexity than existing enterprise solutions, targeting small teams alongside larger organizations across apps, games, and embedded software development.

Hey HN! I've been building a tool for teams to manage their software binaries and releases. Obviously tools like Artifactory exist - but coming from an apps/games background we found the vast majority of teams didn't use any dedicated tool for managing binaries. Finding what's out there too complex / expensive / missing features they'd find useful. A lot of Google Drive, SharePoint, and Slack dumping grounds - with context lost, and not really suited to keeping track of past builds, distribution, etc. Idea for Buildstash is to bring binary and release management to all software teams, making it so accessible even for small teams that it becomes as much a no-brainer as having source control or CI. Less focus on just package repository management - but really focusing on the features devs across app/games/embedded need for managing their builds and releases. Whether around collaboration (linking builds to related issues etc), integrated beta distribution, sharing build streams and releases on their website, and rolling out to distribution platforms like the App Store / Google Play/ Steam etc. Here's a product demo video - https://youtu.be/t4Fr6M_vIIc

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
