Capto – alerts when a background job goes quiet, with breadcrumbs
Monitor cron jobs, background workers and containers. Capto tells you when one goes quiet and shows the last useful context the moment it does — heartbeat, cron and HTTP checks, with Docker as a heartbeat recipe, and alerts via ntfy, Telegram, email or webhook.

What it does
A dead-man’s switch for cron jobs, workers and containers. When one stops, you get the alert and the breadcrumbs it left behind — not a dashboard to go digging through. 20 checks free, no card. Detection every 30 s on every plan. Add a ping where the work finishes. Capto starts expecting it, and says something the moment it stops arriving. There is no agent to install and no port to open. Breadcrumbs are optional and cost nothing until something breaks — the last ones are snapshotted onto the incident when a check goes down. How that context reaches the alert . Monitoring is only worth anything if it holds up on the night it matters. These are the parts worth knowing before you trust it…from capto.run

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…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
