Hi HN, I'm Kushagra, one of three founders of Almanac, a Hermes with a brain that knows everything about your company.

I built slotstream, a way to run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 4-bit on a low-memory mac starting from 16GB, a 125B parameter model that would need 100GB+ memory/RAM, thanks to expert-offloading/ssd-streaming. Easy to install/update, and mac-native using MLX and Swift. It ships with auto-mode, which makes a good tradeoff between memory usage and speed.

Years ago when I worked for Shogun, I was handed a compliance task: gather up all the LICENSE files from our codebase, so we could make sure all our products were legally compliant. It was not as easy as it sounded -- I had to use multiple different command line tools, merge all the results from the disparate tools together, and then manually verify that the data was correct. I made a mental note at the time that I should build something that made this easier one day. Years later, I'm making good on that promise: introducing License Detector ( https://licensedetector.com ) -- a license detectβ¦

I've tried so many UI-based Git clients over the years, and none of them ever felt "good" to me, so I created TinyGit with my vision for a super-clean, super-intuitive experience: no crazy Git graphs, easy-to-understand upstreams/commits, super-easy squash-and-merge locally before pushing.
