I spent 2 years building Tablane as a 17-year-old

In plain words
Tablane is a task and project management tool built by a 17-year-old developer. It features collaborative editing similar to Google Docs, real-time synchronization using Socket.io, and optimistic updates for smooth performance. The tool is designed for teams needing to organize and track projects together without hitting feature paywalls, offering an alternative to commercial project management platforms.

Hi HN community, I'm Marcus, a 17-year-old Software Engineer from Germany. For the past two years I've been working on Tablane [0](https://github.com/Tablane/tablane) a task/project management tool, with features like: - Collaborative Editing (google docs) - Optimistic updates with RTK Query - Realtime sync with Socket.io - An awesome design Let me know what you think! Ask me anything! How I got here: 2020: I was developing a TTT [1] (Trouble in Terrorist Town) plugin for my minecraft server, when I started to require a project management tool to keep track of the features I wanted to implement, originally I used a text file, but after some time I started using products like ClickUp and Monday. But not long after I hit several paywalls for features that I wanted to use (Custom Status, Limited Number of Boards, ...) Soon after Tablane (originally task-board) was born. I started building the website using plain HTML, then found out about React and completed Colt Steele's "Web Developer Bootcamp" [2] and "The Modern React Bootcamp" [3] and started re-writing Tablane in React, and started adding feature after feature. Now I am about to finish Highschool and originally I thought about applying to college and spending another 3-5 years there, but after the positive feedback I got on a three month internship I did at ContentPepper, and seeing how my own projects developed, I decided to look for open Developer positions, to work with a team of experienced developers so I can learn even faster.

- IBI built my own PM tool after trying Trello, Asana, ClickUp, etc.2022 · upbase.io · ▲632
Hey HN, Over the past two years, I've been building Upbase, an all-in-one PM tool. I've tried so many project management tools over the years (Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Teamwork, Wrike, Monday, etc.) but they've all fallen short. Most of them are overly complicated and painful to use. Some others, like Trello, are too limited for my needs. Most importantly, most of these tools tend to be focused on team collaboration and completely ignore personal productivity. They are useful for organizing my work, but not great at helping me stay focused to get things done. That's why I decided to build…
- TATabby – A self-hosted GitHub Copilot2023 · github.com · ▲627
I would like to introduce Tabby, which is a self-hosted alternative to GitHub Copilot that you can integrate into your hardware. While GitHub Copilot has made coding more efficient and less time-consuming by assisting developers with suggestions and completing code, it raises concerns around privacy and security. Tabby is in its early stages, and we are excited to receive feedback from the community. Its Github repository is located here: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby. We have also deployed the latest docker image to Huggingface for a live demo:…
- TBTabstack – Browser infrastructure for AI agents (by Mozilla)Jan 2026 · ▲130
Hi HN, My team and I are building Tabstack to handle the "web layer" for AI agents. Launch Post: https://tabstack.ai/blog/intro-browsing-infrastructure-ai-ag... Maintaining a complex infrastructure stack for web browsing is one of the biggest bottlenecks in building reliable agents. You start with a simple fetch, but quickly end up managing a complex stack of proxies, handling client-side hydration, and debugging brittle selectors. and writing custom parsing logic for every site. Tabstack is an API that abstracts that infrastructure. You send a URL and an intent; we…

This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma...

The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
