Project mention: Ask HN: ReadTheDocs Became Proprietary Now? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-16

I went to https://readthedocs.org/ and redirected me to https://about.readthedocs.com/?ref=readthedocs.org which looks proprietary now, with pricing and such.
Is it the end of this project, as we know it?
Can someone enlighten me please?

Project mention: Why use Open Source Feature Flags? | dev.to | 2024-04-16

Considering all these points, the team at Flagsmith has developed a feature flag management platform Flagsmith and made it open source. The core functionality is open and you can check out the GitHub repository here. I have utilized and authored several blogs discussing their excellent offerings and strategies.

Weblate

11 4,221 10.0 Python

Web based localization tool with tight version control integration.

Project mention: Just launched Secrets 4 - A Password Manager with sharing on iCloud | /r/macapps | 2023-05-31

For translations I can recommend you to use sites such as Crowdin, OneSky, Transifex, Weblate. Lot of smaller (singe or small team) developers are handling translations with the help of their users. You would be surprised how easy and how fast it is to manage translations at no (or nearly) cost this way. There is a lot of users willing to help to translate the app to their native languages.

Project mention: GitHub: “Human eyes” will never see the contents of your private repositories | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-23

I am thinking about self-hosting my private repositories for some time now. I also want a simple web interface for convenience. I don't need a "Github clone" like Gogs, Gitea..
What simpler alternatives are there? I found https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus . Is there something else?

Project mention: What is the name of the function? I know it does exist... but do not know where to look for... | /r/emacs | 2023-06-01

For instance, when I enter Trac-2345, logseq knows that it must be replaced by a link to the ticket number 2345 in my Trac ticket system.

kernel_tuner

4 242 9.0 Python

Kernel Tuner

Project mention: Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-12

I've created Kernel Tuner (https://github.com/KernelTuner/kernel_tuner) as a small software development tool, because I was writing a lot of CUDA and OpenCL kernels at the time. I didn't want to manually figure out what best thread block dimensions and work division among threads were on every GPU over and over again.
The tool evolved quite a bit since the first versions. I'm also using it for testing GPU code, teaching, and it has become one of the main drivers behind a lot of the research that I do.
