Specfy – Stack Intelligence Platform
Hey HN, I'm Samuel, founder of Specfy. Very excited to be launching Specfy, an open source platform to improve the way we talk about infrastructure and technology inside our organizations (https://github.com/specfy/specfy). During my time at Algolia --and previous--, I often felt the communication around production, tech choices and infrastructure was messy at best. Trying to understand how various components came together across teams or sifting through documentation scattered everywhere left me thinking there had to be a better way. Almost nobody, from engineering to…
Specfy – Stack Intelligence Platform launched on September 5, 2023 with 24 votes, #1,363 of 4,228 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
In plain words
Specfy is an open source platform that helps organizations document and communicate their infrastructure and technology decisions. It ingests GitHub repositories to extract metadata and create a centralized view of production systems, components, and architectural choices. The platform is designed for engineering teams and leadership who need clarity on what technology is deployed, how systems are built, and why those choices were made.

Open-source Deep Research across workplace applications2025 · github.com · ▲125I’ve been using deep research on OpenAI and Perplexity and it’s been just amazing at gathering data across a lot of related and chained searches. Just earlier today, I asked “What are some marquee tech companies / hot startups (not including the giants like FAAMG, Samsung, Nvidia etc.)”. It’s a pretty involved question and looking up “marquee tech startups” or "hot tech startups" on Google gave me nothing useful. Deep research on both ChatGPT and Perplexity gave really high quality responses with ChatGPT siding on slightly larger scaleups and Perplexity siding more on up and coming…
- LSLists.sh – A Microblog for Lists2022 · lists.sh · ▲271
Greetings, creator here! I've been working on a new blogging platform specifically for lists on and off for a few months now and I'm excited to officially announce its launch. After seeing https://charm.sh a few months ago, I've been enamored by the idea of SSH apps. I decided that a blogging platform focused on developers could be the perfect use case for an SSH app. Also, I love writing lists. I think restricting writing to a set of lists can really help improve clarity in thought. The goal of this blogging platform is to make it simple to use the tools you love to write and…

Talanoa▲341Hi 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…
