In plain words

Packagr is a private Python package repository and Docker registry for developers who need to host and manage proprietary code and containers. It allows teams to store, version, and distribute custom Python packages and Docker images securely without relying on public repositories. The service combines package management and container registry functionality in a single platform, streamlining workflows for organizations building and deploying private software components.

From the sources

Host private Python, Docker, NPM, Debian, and Conda packages. Faster than PyPI, up to 80% cheaper than Cloudsmith, and ready in five minutes. Your proprietary Python packages deserve more than a bolted-on token and a shared public index. PyPI is a marvel, but it was not built to store your team's private libraries, enforce access controls, or give you a supply chain you actually own. pip install runs up to 4.5x faster than the public PyPI index, so local builds and CI pipelines stay lightning fast. RepoForge is built specifically for engineering teams shipping internal software. Python is the primary citizen, with vulnerability scanning, upstream mirroring, and edge caching that cuts pip…from packagr.app

    I'm a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it. I recently moved into a Lead DevOps Engineer role writing tooling to automate a lot of the pain away. On my own time outside of work, I built Artifact Keeper — a self-hosted artifact registry that supports 45+ package formats. Security scanning, SSO, replication, WASM plugins — it's all in the MIT-licensed release. No enterprise tier. No feature gates. No surprise invoices. Your package managers — pip, npm, docker, cargo, helm, go, all of them — talk directly to it using their native…

    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…
