Dotmesh – A git-like CLI for application states

In plain words

Dotmesh is a command-line tool that applies version control concepts similar to Git to application states rather than just code. Launched in 2018, it enables developers to track, manage, and share application data and configurations across environments. The tool is designed for teams working with stateful applications who need to version and reproduce specific system states, making it useful for debugging, testing, and collaboration scenarios where the full application state—not just code—needs to be captured and restored.

  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 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…
