  3. Jekyll

    :globe_with_meridians: Jekyll is a blog-aware static site generator in Ruby

    Project mention: Building PicoSSG: 'Just Enough Code' | dev.to | 2025-05-16

    The static site generator (SSG) landscape is crowded with feature-rich but increasingly complex solutions. As I looked at and used tools like lume, 11ty, lektor, or jekyll, I found myself drowning in configuration options, plugins, and middleware. What started as a simple desire to convert Markdown content into HTML had evolved into learning complex frameworks with steep learning curves.

  4. maybe

    The personal finance app for everyone

    Project mention: Show HN: Maybe โ€“ The personal finance app for everyone | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-01

    Seems like a reasonably standard Rails app, and they are kind enough to already have a Dockerfile, compose file, and instructions for it: https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/blob/v0.5.0/docs/host...

    Ironically, as documentation for humans these files are good; as a separate signal that Cursor wrote a finance tracking app is also helpful https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/blob/v0.5.0/.cursor/r...

  5. Discourse

    A platform for community discussion. Free, open, simple.

    Project mention: Lessons from open source in the Mexican government | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-06

    Everything I see is moving to Discourse [1] now.

    The experiment SW is a lot like the buildings and labs in every physics department I've been to: everyone is on a separate 3-5 year grant cycle and as such is contractually obliged not to push for newer infrastructure. People stick to the same software/lab until it is discontinued/condemned.

    Project mention: ๐Ÿ”‹โšก Ensuring High Availability with Two-Server Setup Using Keepalived | dev.to | 2024-11-28

    Ensuring high availability with limited resources can be challenging. I recently want to proove you can do it using Keepalived and just two servers ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ. To prove it, I used Vagrant. Here's a quick rundown of my journey! ๐Ÿš€

  12. Devise

    Flexible authentication solution for Rails with Warden.

    Project mention: We Fell Out of Love with Next.js and Back in Love with Ruby on Rails | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-03

    To add, the above code is a pretty near approximation of the literal code inside the devise codebase, which is a very standard Ruby auth system.

  14. chatwoot

    Project mention: Show HN: Jelly โ€“ A Simpler Shared Inbox for Small Teams | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-12

    This is one of those tools that do one thing and do it very well. Also the pricing is convenient. Congratulations to the creators.

    If you want to go the open source + self hosted route, Chatwoot [1][2] may be for you. It is more feature rich (or bloated, depending what you need) and complex to set up, defined as "Open-source live-chat, email support, omni-channel desk. An alternative to Intercom, Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud etc.", and it has a shared inbox feature [3].

  23. homebrew-core

    ๐Ÿป Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    Project mention: Show HN: AWS CLI Installer on Apple Silicon | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-10

    I learned while working on a new Kubernetes course that the official way of installing the AWS CLI on macOS per their documentation [^0] installs the x86 version of the CLI and that Apple Silicon is, mysteriously, not supported.

    The Homebrew formula works around this by building from source [^1], but not everyone uses Homebrew, including me, for this course.

    This script I wrote remediates this. It's a quick and easy way of installing the AWS CLI without a package manager or having to dig through GitHub Gists or Homebrew formulas yourself.

    I hope someone out there finds this useful!

    [^0]: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-sta...

    [^1]: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formul.... Notice how the awscli dependencies are downloaded as separate packages. This might not be what you want.

  24. Gollum

    A simple, Git-powered wiki with a local frontend and support for many kinds of markup and content.

    Project mention: WordPress Is in Trouble | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-13

    Depends on your target user. If you want something really simple for developers, https://github.com/gollum/gollum is pretty neat (is what powers the Wiki system on GitHub), while if you want something simple for people who aren't developers, something like Mediawiki would fit better. Although Mediawiki requires a database, you can use SQLite (which is basically a file on disk as a DB) for it.

    Dokuwiki is also a neat old-school alternative that basically treats files on disk as articles/pages, so no (other) DB needed.

  25. awesome-ruby

    ๐Ÿ’Ž A collection of awesome Ruby libraries, tools, frameworks and software

    Project mention: ๐Ÿ’ก The Untold History of GitHub Awesome-Lists ๐Ÿคฏ | dev.to | 2025-01-21

    A curated list of awesome Python frameworks, libraries and resources. Inspired by awesome-php. On July 3rd, Marc Anguera launched awesome-ruby. There was no reference to other lists in the initial commit, but the timing and naming convention suggest that this was inspired by other awesome-lists that preceded it.
