Ledger
Hi HN I’m an Engineering Manager, and over the years I struggled with one recurring problem: important management signals (1:1 notes, concerns, feedback, missed check-ins, context, achievements) were always scattered across tools or stuck in my head. Ledger is a tool I started building to solve that for myself: • One private space for EMs (not HR, not employees) • Capture 1:1 notes, concerns, and follow-ups • Simple tracking of people journey, not tickets • Optional AI summaries to support reviews and coaching (very conservative by design) The goal isn’t to replace judgment or conversations,…

What it does
Managing a team isn’t just about delivery: it’s about noticing signals early. Ledger is a focused tool built for Engineering Managers to: • Centralize 1:1 notes and manager context • Track patterns across time instead of relying on memory • Prepare better, more grounded conversations Ledger is intentionally opinionated: • Not HR software • Not employee monitoring • Private to the manager The goal is simple: help managers support their teams with more clarity and less guesswork.
Comprehensive team management and performance tracking platform

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…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
