textlog: A text-only microblog that goes back to basics
textlog is an open-source microblogging platform that supports plain text only and loads zero JavaScript. Posts are capped at 280 characters, same as early Twitter. Author stagas passed 140 points on Hacker News, and the comments are full of people who miss the pre-image Twitter.
You sign up, post text, follow people. No algorithmic feed, no image bombardment. For developers, the no-JS pages also mean extremely fast loads even on mobile data.
Agent Tunnels: Letting AI agents from different companies work together
Agent Tunnels tackles the cross-company problem: your coding agent needs to talk to mine, but the networks and permissions don't line up. It sets up a secure tunnel so the two agents can communicate directly.
HN commenters called it "very useful," pointing at use cases beyond pair development, like customer onboarding and outsourced delivery. Most AI coding agents today stay inside a single repo and a single team; cross-organization collaboration is a problem nobody has solved well yet.
Jobman: A modern nohup
Jobman is a command-line job manager written in Go, MIT licensed. Think of it as nohup with superpowers: retries, timeouts, inter-job dependencies, durable logs, and completion notifications, all without a resident daemon.
Author Ryan Wallace wrote an "Inside Jobman" blog series covering detached supervision, daemonless scheduling, and dependency handling in detail. For anyone running long tasks on servers, a tool that works out of the box and leaves no background process behind is a lot lighter than assembling systemd units or cron chains.
