Host, share, promote and track release artifacts via your coding agent
Coding agents made everything feel fast again - except managing release binaries. Operations like these should be real commands you can run from your terminal: - "Deploy the login fix to staging" - "What's the functional difference between production and staging?" - "Notify me when any security fix hits production" - "Promote Jen's last changes to staging" - "Share the new beta API SDK with the partners at Acme" That's what Fly does. Every time a CI run pushes artifacts to the Fly Registry, it creates a release - including the binaries produced, an AI-generated summary, captured…
In plain words
Fly is a release management tool that lets developers manage build artifacts and deployments through natural language commands in their terminal. When CI pipelines push artifacts to the Fly Registry, it automatically generates releases with summaries, architectural decisions, and commit history, all searchable by semantic queries. Developers can deploy to different environments, compare versions, share binaries with partners, and track security fixes without manually tracking version numbers or Git hashes. It's designed for teams using coding agents who need faster artifact operations alongside their automated workflows.

In the maker’s words, at launch
Coding agents made everything feel fast again - except managing release binaries. Operations like these should be real commands you can run from your terminal: - "Deploy the login fix to staging" - "What's the functional difference between production and staging?" - "Notify me when any security fix hits production" - "Promote Jen's last changes to staging" - "Share the new beta API SDK with the partners at Acme" That's what Fly does. Every time a CI run pushes artifacts to the Fly Registry, it creates a release - including the binaries produced, an AI-generated summary, captured architectural decisions, merged PRs and commits. All of it is searchable. So when you ask your agent "when did we release a fix for the connection timeout" it runs a semantic search across all of that and finds the right evidence. No version numbers, no digging through run IDs, no Git hashes. Fly also understands your runtime environments and works with whatever deployment framework your coding agent already knows - Argo CD, Flux, etc. It tracks what gets deployed through them automatically, so "what's the latest change in production right now" gets a real answer. A few other things worth knowing: - Integrates out of the box with your GitHub repositories - Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc. via MCP - Agentless integration with your runtime environments - Slack notifications in natural language - Fly watches releases and notifies with context when something matches - Runs Artifactory as a scalable package registry under the hood - Supports Docker, Helm, npm, PyPI, Maven, Gradle, Go, and .NET, with more package types coming - Once installed, your package managers just work: npm publish, pip install, docker push - all route through your private Fly registry automatically. No .npmrc editing, no token wrangling Take it for a spin and upgrade the way you manage your release binaries - and finally get real visibility into WHAT is actually running where. Happy to get into how it works, what else it handles, and where we're taking it next. https://jfrog.com/fly

I'm a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it. I recently moved into a Lead DevOps Engineer role writing tooling to automate a lot of the pain away. On my own time outside of work, I built Artifact Keeper — a self-hosted artifact registry that supports 45+ package formats. Security scanning, SSO, replication, WASM plugins — it's all in the MIT-licensed release. No enterprise tier. No feature gates. No surprise invoices. Your package managers — pip, npm, docker, cargo, helm, go, all of them — talk directly to it using their native…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
