Plakar is an open-source backup and restore solution designed to simplify data protection for businesses of all sizes. It protects anything—from local files to multi-cloud AI pipelines—while keeping every snapshot lean, encrypted, and instantly recoverable.

Enterprise ready backups with developer friendly tooling. Encrypted, deduplicated snapshots, instant browsing and restore, and zero knowledge workflows across clouds and on-prem.

It orchestrates your entire resilience posture, with backups defined by hand or as code , from one place. State-led ransomware, AI-driven exfiltration, and the erosion of the internal perimeter have turned cyber-resilience from a nice-to-have into the most important line of defense . Five things Plakar delivers for security and infrastructure teams. Plakar deduplicates and compresses everything before it leaves your system, collapsing the storage and egress overhead that makes legacy backup so expensive.

  Talanoa▲346

  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.

  Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

  We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
