Private RubyGem Server

TL;DR - http://www.gemfury.com - pre-launch feedback appreciated Hello HN, In true hacker tradition, a tool built for ourselves often grows into a service of its own. In the past few months, we've been polishing our private RubyGem server into something that other Ruby developers can use. Today, I'd like to ask for your feedback on where we stand and whether we're "launch-ready". The service is called Gemfury and offers customers a private RubyGem repository in the cloud. The story is that many RubyGems are built as open source and solid infrastructure exists to develop and distribute those.…

Private RubyGem Server launched on February 9, 2012 with 9 votes, #117 of 360 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 14 years on.

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…

    A HN clone writen in Go2023 · remoterenters.com · ▲115

    I've been trying to write my "go on rails" framework for years. I never quite got it like I wanted. There is gin and echo and all sorts of other frameworks and patterns but I finally found something I really like: /foo/ /foo/bar/ /foo/bar/more/ That's it. Just three levels and all my controllers get passed in what's between the / with var names first, second, third. In order to really make sure this framework could build something real I made a Hacker News clone. RemoteRenters.com is a HN just for articles about the remote work revolution…

    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…
