NodeOS 1.0-RC1

NodeOS 1.0-RC1 launched on November 19, 2015 with 17 votes, #1,903 of 4,110 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

NodeOS is a lightweight operating system that stores data locally on a user's computer rather than on remote servers. It caches GitHub API data and blog content to a user's local storage, reducing the need for repeated requests to GitHub and minimizing server operations. The system is designed for users who want to avoid constant cloud dependencies while accessing GitHub-integrated content. Data storage is optional and user information is not used for any other purposes.

    We scaled Git to support 1 TB repos2022 · xethub.com · ▲279

    I’ve been in the MLOps space for ~10 years, and data is still the hardest unsolved open problem. Code is versioned using Git, data is stored somewhere else, and context often lives in a 3rd location like Slack or GDocs. This is why we built XetHub, a platform that enables teams to treat data like code, using Git. Unlike Git LFS, we don’t just store the files. We use content-defined chunking and Merkle Trees to dedupe against everything in history. This allows small changes in large files to be stored compactly. Read more here:…
