In plain words

git-peek is a tool that lets users instantly open a git repository in their local editor without cloning it first. Launched in 2021, it streamlines the workflow for developers who need to quickly browse or reference code from remote repositories. The tool is designed for developers and anyone working with git-based projects who wants to save time by viewing repository contents immediately rather than going through a full clone process.

    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.
