I'm building Incidental, an open-source (MIT license) incident management platform.

Features: - Custom roles - Custom severities - Integrated with Slack - Web interface Todos: - Custom fields - Custom workflows Website: https://incidental.dev Github: https://github.com/incidentalhq/incidental I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks!
I am building an open-source incident management platform launched on July 8, 2024 with 168 votes, #346 of 5,184 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Incidental is an open-source, MIT-licensed incident management platform that helps teams track and respond to incidents. It offers a web interface with customizable roles and severity levels, plus Slack integration for notifications and updates. Built as a hobby project, it serves teams needing structured incident tracking without rigid constraints. The platform is actively developed with planned features including custom fields and workflows.

Incident/OpsJan 2026 · incidentops.io · ▲59I've been an on-call engineer at startups where "incident management" meant someone panic-creating a Slack channel called #fire-fire-fire, or all incidents handled in the #incidents channel at the same time... and the postmortem was whatever someone remembered to write in Notion three days later. So I built a Slack bot to fix my own workflow. Figured I'd share it. What it does: "/incident start sev2 API latency spike" creates a dedicated channel, invites whoever's on-call, pins the details, and starts recording a timeline. When you run "/incident resolve", it uses GPT-4 to analyze…
Hatchet v1 – A task orchestration platform built on Postgres2025 · github.com · ▲240Hey HN - this is Alexander from Hatchet. We’re building an open-source platform for managing background tasks, using Postgres as the underlying database. Just over a year ago, we launched Hatchet as a distributed task queue built on top of Postgres with a 100% MIT license (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643136). The feedback and response we got from the HN community was overwhelming. In the first month after launching, we processed about 20k tasks on the platform — today, we’re processing over 20k tasks per minute (>1 billion per month). Scaling up this quickly was…

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
