What it does

dossi, a browser extension and web app to keep track of your own private GitHub notes is now open source.

dossi , a browser extension and web app to keep track of your own private GitHub notes is now open source. I built dossi as a way to keep track of my own notes for GitHub issues and pull requests across multiple repositories and organizations. Personally, a challenge that I kept running into was just saving general thoughts at the moment when I found a new open-source project or issue that I knew I’d want to come back to later. Initially, this was to help with issue triage and reproducibility. For organizations that I was a part of, I wanted something more private than just having the GitHub visibility set to private (just for myself). I felt that the existing tools were too focused…from xiegerts.com

    Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in RustJun 2026 · gitdot.io · ▲334

    What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

    Hi HN! I’m so excited to show my first open-source project and first post here. I initially started this project to learn Go language, it is an experimental project. The main goal is to track the adventure of a WebRTC stream from start to finish, by debugging the project or tracking the output at console. By trying out this project, you will deep dive into the steps which are taken while starting up a WebRTC session, and more. It consists of a web UI (TypeScript) and a server back-end (Golang) projects. They can run on Docker containers, in development mode or production mode, you can find…

    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…
