Tegon: Open-source alternative to Jira, Linear
Hi HN, we're Harshith, Manoj and Manik and we're building Tegon (https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon), open-source issue tracking software that uses AI to smartly automate manual workflows or provide more context to engineers for a given task. There's a demo video here: https://www.loom.com/share/b664b01e9b064a02be5791c12b77a107, and you can try out the product at https://demo.tegon.ai using these credentials: Email: [email protected] Password: XfFNw6GwVJVQv6PA As engineers, our experience with traditional tools like Jira hasn't been great.

In plain words
Tegon is an open-source issue tracking system designed as an alternative to Jira and Linear. Built by engineers, it incorporates AI to automate routine workflows and provide additional context for tasks. The software aims to streamline development work rather than focus primarily on management oversight, addressing complaints that traditional tracking tools are slow and burdensome for engineering teams.

Hi HN, we're Harshith, Manoj and Manik and we're building Tegon (https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon), open-source issue tracking software that uses AI to smartly automate manual workflows or provide more context to engineers for a given task. There's a demo video here: https://www.loom.com/share/b664b01e9b064a02be5791c12b77a107, and you can try out the product at https://demo.tegon.ai using these credentials: Email: [email protected] Password: XfFNw6GwVJVQv6PA As engineers, our experience with traditional tools like Jira hasn't been great. It is slow, bloated and often acts as a burden to engineers. These tools didn't help engineers in getting the work done faster, they only helped the management in tracking the work which enabled a lot of processes and micro-management which used to kill our productivity. With the rise of LLMs, we thought about how project management and issue tracking would look 5-10 years from now. The current tools didn't match our vision, which excited us and started the journey of Tegon. We aim to build a tool where manual workflows are either automated or handled by AI. This tool will provide better context about a task to an engineer by smartly gathering data from all sources, helping teams with better prioritization. Tegon loads all the data from local (indexed db) thus making it super fast to load and navigate. We make all of this happen by real-time sync in the background. Tegon also uses AI to simplify the issue-creation process by automatically creating titles, suggesting labels and assignees and identifying duplicates. Tegon also simplifies the issue creation process from Slack, just apply an emoji to a Slack message and a tegon issue will be created making it easier for other teams to raise bugs or feature requests to engineering teams. We deeply value the feedback from this community and have spent the last month revamping Tegon's design based on the feedback from our last launch. We just got started and there's a lot more to come. We're eager to get more feedback and keep building. Let us know what you think in the comments :)

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
