What it does

OrbisID scans your IT estate — AD, Windows/Linux, cloud, PAM vaults, SaaS, network devices — across 46 system types to automatically discover privileged accounts and entitlements, classify them as human or non-human, and link them to real identities. It reconciles against your existing PAM vault, tracks risk indicators over time, runs owner attestations, and maps findings to NIST, ISO 27001, SOX, HIPAA and Cyber Essentials. Fully self-hosted: your scan data never leaves your network.

Scan directories, cloud, databases, network devices and business apps. 29 risk indicators show your worst exposures — and whether they're improving. Gap analysis for ISO 27001, NIST, SOX and six more frameworks. Behavioural and machine-learning detection flags privileged-account abuse. The access graph shows what any identity, account or system can reach. I built OrbisID because every IT team I met had the same blind spot — nobody could say for certain who had admin access, or prove it to an auditor. The enterprise tools that tried to answer that were overly complex and still missed things. This is the tool I wanted them to have. Yes — Community Edition is free forever.

  • Stack, an open-source Clerk/Firebase Auth alternative2024 · stack-auth.com · ▲144

    Hey HN! Happy to finally launch Stack. We made it because we like to put apps into production quickly, and authentication & user management was taking up way too much time. We have components like and that automatically adapt to whatever theme & design system you're using. Check the blog post to see the example with Radix UI and Joy UI. Also, there's an admin dashboard for monitoring and editing accounts. Stack is 100% AGPL/MIT-licensed, so you can self-host it. Cheers!

  • Mist – a lightweight, self-hosted PaaSJan 2026 · trymist.cloud · ▲14

    Hi HN, We’re building Mist, a lightweight, self-hosted PaaS for running and managing applications on your own servers. We started Mist because we wanted a middle ground between raw VPS management and heavy, all-in-one platforms. Existing PaaS solutions often felt too complex or resource-intensive for small servers, homelabs, and side projects. We wanted something that keeps the PaaS experience but stays simple and predictable. Our goals with Mist are: - A simple PaaS to deploy and manage apps on your own infrastructure - HTTPS, routing, and app access handled automatically - Low resource…

    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…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
