Rickub – The Smartest Git in the Universe

In plain words

Rickub is a hosted Git repository platform offering code review, CI integration, organizations, and team management tools. It serves development teams looking for an alternative to GitHub and GitLab. The service features standard code review capabilities with intent markers on comments to clarify merge blockers, GitHub Actions compatibility for simplified migration, and a .rickub workflow dialect for extended functionality. It emphasizes data security, cost efficiency, and the tools teams use daily.

From the sources

A new home for your projects. Fast, independent, cheaper than GitHub and GitLab with no compromise on your data. From your first push to your hundredth release — the tools your team works in every day. Orgs, members and repositories — everything you need to work and to keep that work secured. The familiar files-changed, diffs and inline comments — plus an intent marker on every comment, so it is never ambiguous what blocks a merge and what is a passing remark. GitHub Actions workflows run unchanged, so a migration is a push rather than a rewrite — and the .rickub dialect adds what Actions has no syntax for, like test reports built into the run page. A reviewer you trigger on a merge…from rickub.com

  Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in RustJun 2026 · gitdot.io · ▲334

  What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

  Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

  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. 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…
