The idea of natural-language search was early, but the brand may have made it feel less technical than it really was. https://tux.re/forum/viewtopic.php?t=212

From a security perspective, centralization cuts both ways.

Large platforms like GitHub have strong security teams and fast patching, but they also concentrate risk. A single vulnerability or abuse pattern can affect a huge portion of the ecosystem.

Decentralizing critical infrastructure doesn’t eliminate risk, but it distributes it.

Hi everyone,

We’ve launched tux.re – a small, open-source platform for technical interviews, built for hackers, developers, and tech enthusiasts. It’s designed to be lightweight, self-hostable, and transparent.

We’ve also just added a community forum at tux.re/forum — a place to discuss features, ask questions, share ideas, and help shape the project together.

The project is open source, and we’d love your feedback, contributions, or just your curiosity:
