    New regulations (NIS2, DORA, etc.) mean your enterprise clients will start asking you to demonstrate software resilience. The easiest way to do this is through software escrow - storing a copy of your code in a third-party vault so they can keep using their software if something happens to your company. The traditional process involves zipping your repo quarterly and dealing with lawyers who want to negotiate what counts as "source code" while your actual deployment involves deployment configs, build scripts, and dependencies they've never heard of. We built software escrow that just…

    I'm a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it.

    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…
