What it does
Most tools manage one piece: direnv for env vars, kubectx for K8s, aws-vault for AWS. You're still juggling multiple tools. ctx_ is different - it treats your entire DevOps environment (cloud providers, orchestration, tunnels, VPNs) as one switchable context. One command replaces dozens. It's stateful, meaning active SSH tunnels and connections switch too. Built for people managing 5+ environments daily.
ctx is an open-source multi-cloud context switcher for DevOps teams. Switch between AWS profiles, Kubernetes clusters, VPN connections, and SSH tunnels with a single command. A powerful kubectx alternative.

Ctx – Context manager for Cloud,K8s VPNs, SSH tunnels, secret managersJan 2026 · github.com · ▲7Hey HN, I built ctx because I was tired of the mental overhead of managing multiple client environments. Every context switch meant: change AWS profile, switch kubeconfig, start the right SSH tunnels, set the right env vars, remember which VPN i need to connect to. Miss one step and you're deploying to the wrong environment. The problem: Existing tools are siloed. kubectx handles Kubernetes. aws-vault handles AWS. direnv needs .envrc files everywhere. SSH tunnel managers don't know about your cloud context. Nothing ties them together. ctx does one thing: Atomic context switches across all of…

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…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
