Nova: Open-source solution for CAD file conflicts

What it does

Real time file locking. Contribute to agg111/nova development by creating an account on GitHub.

A modern, intelligent CAD file locking system for team collaboration. Prevent conflicts when multiple engineers work with CAD files simultaneously. Nova automatically manages file locks for CAD applications (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, etc.) to prevent conflicts in team environments. When someone opens a CAD file, Nova locks it. When they close it, Nova unlocks it. Simple, automatic, and reliable. 🔗 CADLock Compatible : Nova uses the same network directory structure as CADLock, so teams can migrate seamlessly or run both systems side-by-side. # 1. Clone and setup git clone https://github.com/your-org/nova.git cd nova pip install -r requirements.txt # 2. Make nova command globally…from github.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, A friend at a hardware startup mentioned how their engineering team struggles with CAD file conflicts as PDM solutions are not affordable. Multiple engineers opening the same SolidWorks part = corrupted files and lost work. I was motivated and started building Nova. Nova is a open source file locking system…

  Forge – Guardrails take an 8B model from 53% to 99% on agentic tasksMay 2026 · github.com · ▲687

  Hi HN, I'm Antoine Zambelli, AI Director at Texas Instruments. I built Forge, an open-source reliability layer for self-hosted LLM tool-calling. What it does: - Adds domain-and-tool-agnostic guardrails (retry nudges, step enforcement, error recovery, VRAM-aware context management) to local models running on consumer hardware - Takes an 8B model from ~53% to ~99% on multi-step agentic workflows without changing the model - just the system around it - Ships with an eval harness and interactive dashboard so you can reproduce every number I wanted to run a handful of always-on agentic systems…

  Novanode, Global load balancing with Caddy, no vendor lock-in2025 · ▲77

  I've been a long-time Cloudflare user, but sometimes I just want a global load balancer without the lock-in and with full configuration control (e.g., some Cloudflare rules require an enterprise plan). I love Caddy for its easy configuration, and that's why I created Novnaode. It makes it easy to launch hosted Caddy instances (with Nginx coming soon) and puts you fully in control of how to manage the configurations. No more being restricted by enterprise tiers or limited configuration options - just simple, powerful, and flexible global load balancing. Check it out here:…

  Talanoa▲345

  Hi 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…

  Strange Attractors▲804

  I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

  Autism Simulator▲779

  Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
