Tabby – A self-hosted GitHub Copilot

I would like to introduce Tabby, which is a self-hosted alternative to GitHub Copilot that you can integrate into your hardware. While GitHub Copilot has made coding more efficient and less time-consuming by assisting developers with suggestions and completing code, it raises concerns around privacy and security. Tabby is in its early stages, and we are excited to receive feedback from the community. Its Github repository is located here: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby. We have also deployed the latest docker image to Huggingface for a live demo:…

In plain words

Tabby is a self-hosted code completion tool that works as an alternative to GitHub Copilot. It runs on your own hardware, allowing developers to get code suggestions and completions while maintaining complete control over their data and privacy. Built on Hugging Face Transformers, Tabby is designed for developers concerned about privacy and security with cloud-based AI coding assistants. The project is in early stages and available as open source.

    Hey everyone! We've built Traycer, a tool that transforms your GitHub issues—everything from descriptions and attached images to ongoing conversations—into clear, actionable implementation plans. You can easily import these plans into your IDE with our extension or use them with any other coding assistant you prefer. We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Traycer is totally free for open-source projects, and we've got a 2-week free trial if you're working with private repos. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

    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…

  • Pbnj – A minimal, self-hosted pastebin you can deploy in 60 secondsDec 2025 · pbnj.sh · ▲69

    I'm sure folks here have seen pastebins a thousand times. There's no innovation left in this space – and that's kind of the point. When I wanted to self-host a pastebin, every option I found was too much. Git-based version control, OAuth, elaborate admin panels. I just wanted something I could deploy in under a minute with a CLI that actually works. So I built pbnj (yes, like the sandwich). What it is: - A minimal, beautiful pastebin with syntax highlighting for 100+ languages - One-click deploy to Cloudflare (free tier gives you ~100,000 pastes) - CLI-first: pbnj file.py → get a URL, copied…

    Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a…
