Weave

Hey HN, We’re building Weave: an ML-powered tool to measure engineering output, that actually understands engineering output! Why? Here’s the thing: almost every eng leader already measures output - either openly or behind closed doors. But they rely on metrics like lines of code (correlation with effort: ~0.3), number of PRs, or story points (slightly better at ~0.35). These metrics are, frankly, terrible proxies for productivity. We’ve developed a custom model that analyzes code and its impact directly, with a far better 0.94 correlation. The result? A standardized engineering output…

Weave launched on August 11, 2025 with 237 votes, #143 of 8,530 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

Weave is an ML-powered tool designed for engineering leaders to measure software development productivity. Rather than relying on traditional metrics like lines of code or pull request counts, it analyzes code and its direct impact using a custom model that claims significantly higher correlation with actual engineering output. The platform allows teams to benchmark their productivity against peers while maintaining data privacy, aiming to provide a standardized measurement that doesn't incentivize vanity metrics.

  • Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…
