I build a terminal-friendly static file server
If you ask why there was .hg and .hgignore in a Git repository, it's because I completely forgot this project is my first ever project using Mercurial as SCM. As such, I foolishly `git init` the repository and have to update both .gitignore and .hgignore to finish the changes. You can also see the Mercurial version of this thing at here: https://hg.sr.ht/~tsukii/robin

- DEDump entire Git repos into a single file for LLM prompts2024 · ▲57
Hey! I wanted to share a tool I've been working on. It's still very early and a work in progress, but I've found it incredibly helpful when working with Claude and OpenAI's models. What it does: I created a Python script that dumps your entire Git repository into a single file. This makes it much easier to use with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Key Features: - Respects .gitignore patterns - Generates a tree-like directory structure - Includes file contents for all non-excluded files - Customizable file type filtering Why I find it useful for…
Unfucked - version all changes (by any tool) - local-first/source availFeb 2026 · unfudged.io · ▲137I built unf after I pasted a prompt into the wrong agent terminal and it overwrote hours of hand-edits across a handful of files. Git couldn't help because I hadn't finished/committed my in progress work. I wanted something that recorded every save automatically so I could rewind to any point in time. I wanted to make it difficult for an agent to permanently screw anything up, even with an errant rm -rf unf is a background daemon that watches directories you choose (via CLI) and snapshots every text file on save. It stores file contents in an object store, tracks metadata in SQLite, and…
- H1HgLab 1.0 Released - Mercurial Server for Windows2013 · hglabhq.com · ▲5
This is the thing I've been busy with for the past 18 months, over which it has grown from a skunkworks project into a real-world product. This is going to be my first microISV and even if it's a colossal commercial failure, I'm looking forward to the experience of product development. To ship HgLab, I first effectively rewrote Mercurial Core in C# (https://bitbucket.org/hglab/hgsharp), and then built on that to first deliver a bare-bones read-only repository browser and then a full-fledged Mercurial Server. I'm open to any kind of feedback. And wish me luck!

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
