What it does
BoxBox is a modern, self-hosted file manager for Linux homelab and NAS-style servers. It gives you a clean browser UI over mounted Linux paths, with file uploads, previews for common file types, search, and background file operations like copy, move, and delete. It is built with Go and SvelteKit, ships with Docker/Compose, and is open source under MIT.
Fast, lightweight file manager for Linux servers.
Manage Linux servers like local folders. Zero latency, instant sync, chunked transfers, and native code editing right in your browser. No bloated electron apps or sluggish web UI. A meticulously crafted, high-performance toolkit designed specifically for bare-metal Linux servers and homelab enthusiasts. Edit config files and code directly in the browser with VS Code's powerful native engine. Full syntax highlighting, minimap, and find/replace. Browse multiple disks, directories, and partitions simultaneously from a single unified interface. Upload massive files effortlessly. Intelligent chunking ensures resumable, reliable transfers over unstable networks without memory bloat. Watch files…from boxbox.radhey.dev

Devbox – Easy, predictable shells and containers2022 · github.com · ▲515Devbox is a command-line tool that lets you easily create isolated shells and containers. You start by defining the list of packages required by your development environment, and devbox uses that definition to create an isolated environment just for your application. In practice, Devbox works similar to a package manager like yarn – except the packages it manages are at the operating-system level (the sort of thing you would normally install with brew or apt-get).

GhostBox – Borrow a disposable little machine from the Global Free TierMay 2026 · ghost.charity · ▲126I built this because I was always creating machines on GH actions to test builds on different OS, and I wanted a tight CLI that could do it. I always saw Actions as this great resources and ephemeral machines you could do dev work in just were a natural way for me to work, so this grew out of that workflow. I didn't expect it to blow up, so it wasn't 100% finished when I posted it. But it should stabilize pretty quickly. Happy to know what you think and talk about it.
Dynbox.app2025 · dynbox.app · ▲125Hey HN, This is my first ever launch! I built a productivity tool that helps you organize your files in bulk, quickly and easily. Instead of manually organizing files, which can be tedious and time-consuming, you can now ask an AI agent to do it for you. Right now, Dynbox integrates with Google Drive, and I’m rapidly working on support for local file systems as well. I’d love to get your feedback!

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…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
