I think it's currently non-selfhostable. You can host your own git server (knot) and CI runner (spindle) but not really the UI/API itself, but they're working on changing it. Currently it's a bit centralised
You could try Hints for Linux

hmmm, care to tell us a few of them?

Has anyone actually used PGLite[0]?

Other nice options would be Resend and the Cloudflare Email Service

Ask HN: Is it possible to get hired as an African software engineer

I know the job marker is pretty rough these days, but still, I'm wondering.Is it possible for a western company to hire me, as an African, perhaps remotely?I have been lured by websites like Mercor, etc... offering nice remote work, but I figured out that they mostly wanted my data.Is it possible for me to get hired at all or should I just try entrepreneurship and mainly focus on copying ideas...

Am I the only one that despise TanStack docs? most of them seem AI-generated, incomplete and repetitive.
Would be nice to see PGLite[1] compared too

1: https://pglite.dev/

it doesn't seem to show most flights or airports in africa
honestly the issue with Zen is that they collect and might sell your data

I used to have this, but it takes up so much resources. not fit for small servers.

Ask HN: What's Your AI Workflow?

Hello, I'm a junior engineer and has seen more and more people pivot to AI for agentic coding. Just wanted to know how you all use AI (if at all). Particularly interested in workflows you use to deliver quickly and fight AI-isms, such as skills, tools, harnesses, MCP, etc...Thank you

I've been working on Peachy, a framework for writing native Linux applications easier and faster with React and GTK: https://peachy-9b8f81.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/

Very WIP and no docs, but I hope it will be helpful someday

there’s also IBM’s Granite

Ask HN: Do you stay away from Contributor Licence Agreements?

Hello everyone. So a while ago I stumbled upon Shopify's Polaris, which is a React UI framework. It seemed like a nice project overall, and while I appreciate it being an open source project (they didn't have to do that), it has a weird licence which is basically a modified version of the MIT licence but with a clause that prevents competitive usage.Now, the other interesting bit is that the...

Re:Ask HN: How Long Does a Deployment Take at Your Company on Friday February 17, 2023 @03:34PM (#34840164)
I have a Next.js app too, and it takes about 1m30 to deploy. it really takes longer to build when your app gets larger, and if I'd had to rebuilt the app focusing on build time, I'd probably go with Remix

(note this is with Vercel's [proprietary] build cache, it takes longer when there's no build cache)

Yea. for unjustified reasons too... they didn't even make an announcement or bother to explain why

Spotify didn't release wrapped this year for some countries for no reason

Spotify wrapped, the story like thing that shows you the stats of what you've been listening to every year like what artists/songs/genres you've been listening to the whole year just dropped.but the thing that's not talked about anywhere is that Spotify wrapped didn't release in some countries/regions where it was released previous years such as Rwanda, Venezuela, Bangladesh etc.This is a bfd...

Re:Vercel not granting publish access to arg AUTHOR on Friday July 08, 2022 @03:49AM (#32024047)
Except he's the author. He built the app while he worked there and he can't get publish rights when other non-employees do have them.
