Show HN: Kuvasz – an open-source uptime and SSL monitoring service A few months ago I took out my side project - an uptime & SSL monitoring service - from the drawer. I've decided to give it a new life and completely overhauled it, added a lot of new feature, and most importantly, a UI.

Highlights

- configurable uptime & SSL monitoring

- Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty & E-mail notifications (more to come!)

- fully-fledged REST API

- a responsive, modern & fast UI

- monitors are optionally configurable via a single YAML file, or you can choose to use either the UI or the API to maintain them

- Cloud-native, distributed as amd64 and arm64 images

- Only one dependency: a PostgreSQL database to connect to

- Extensive examples in the docs

- stable memory usage (max ~360MB) & great performance

It's written in Kotlin, under the hood it uses Micronaut with Netty, jOOQ, and PostgreSQL, and the server-side-rendered UI is built with kotlinx.html, Alpine.js, and htmx.

It's called Kuvasz (pronounce as [ˈkuvɒs]), and you can find the repository here: https://github.com/kuvasz-uptime/kuvasz

And the website with the extensive documentation here: https://kuvasz-uptime.dev

Show HN: ccrider - Search and Resume Your Claude Code Sessions – TUI / MCP / CLI

Show HN: ccrider - Search and Resume Your Claude Code Sessions – TUI / MCP / CLI I built a tool that stores your full Claude Code history to let you easily find and resume sessions. It has TUI, CLI and MCP interfaces. It&#x27;s a single Go binary, and the session history is synced to SQLite each time you use it.<p>Default mode is the TUI with a session browser and full-text search. Once a session is selected you can browse and search within it, resume it or export to markdown.<p>The MCP server provides tools to let Claude search back through the session for pre-compact context or pull from prior sessions. I use this constantly.<p>I&#x27;ve seen elaborate continuity systems to give Claude Code access to history but this simple approach has been very effective.<p>Installation:<p>macOS: brew install neilberkman&#x2F;tap&#x2F;ccrider<p>Linux&#x2F;other: git clone <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neilberkman&#x2F;ccrider" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neilberkman&#x2F;ccrider</a> &amp;&amp; cd ccrider &amp;&amp; go build<p>MCP server: claude mcp add --scope user ccrider $(which ccrider) serve-mcp<p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neilberkman&#x2F;ccrider" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neilberkman&#x2F;ccrider</a>

Show HN: OSS sustain guard – Sustainability signals for OSS dependencies

Show HN: OSS sustain guard – Sustainability signals for OSS dependencies Hi HN, I made OSS Sustain Guard.<p>After every high-profile OSS incident, I wonder about the packages I rely on right now. I can skim issues&#x2F;PRs and activity on GitHub, but that doesn’t scale when you have tens or hundreds of dependencies. I built this to surface sustainability signals (maintainer redundancy, activity trends, funding links, etc.) and create awareness. It’s meant to start a respectful conversation, not to judge projects. These are signals, not truth; everything is inferred from public data (internal mirrors&#x2F;private work won’t show up).<p>Quick start: pip install oss-sustain-guard export GITHUB_TOKEN=... os4g check<p>It uses GitHub GraphQL with local caching (no telemetry; token not uploaded&#x2F;stored), and supports multiple ecosystems (Python&#x2F;JS&#x2F;Rust&#x2F;Go&#x2F;Java&#x2F;etc.).<p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;onukura&#x2F;oss-sustain-guard" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;onukura&#x2F;oss-sustain-guard</a><p>I’d love feedback on metric choices&#x2F;thresholds and wording that stays respectful. If you have examples where these signals break down, please share.

Show HN: TinyPDF – 3KB PDF library (70x smaller than jsPDF)

Show HN: TinyPDF – 3KB PDF library (70x smaller than jsPDF) I needed to generate invoices in a Node.js app. jsPDF is 229KB. I only needed text, rectangles, lines, and JPEG images.<p><pre><code> So I wrote tinypdf: &lt;400 lines of TypeScript, zero dependencies, 3.3KB minified+gzipped. What it does: - Text (Helvetica, colors, alignment) - Rectangles and lines - JPEG images - Multiple pages, custom sizes What it doesn&#x27;t do: - Custom fonts, PNG&#x2F;SVG, forms, encryption, HTML-to-PDF That&#x27;s it. The 95% use case for invoices, receipts, reports, tickets, and labels. GitHub: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Lulzx&#x2F;tinypdf npm: npm install tinypdf</code></pre>
