Routeup – stable local HTTPS URLs and opt-in public tunnelshttps://routeup.dev

I built Routeup around a simple idea: local apps should use their real names. It was inspired by Portless , but I also wanted built-in public tunneling, selective path exposure, request inspection, and live logs. Instead of opening localhost:3000 , I can give a project a stable, trusted HTTPS URL and keep using it across restarts: https://example-app.localhost The app stays local by default. When an external service needs access, I can expose the whole route or only selected paths such as /api/webhooks/* : local: https://example-app.localhost public: https://example-app.try.routeup.dev expose…

Show HN: Rate Floor Pricer – like price insurance on GPU, estimated in real timehttps://www.getcomputable.com/hedge

GPU leases have become massive price bets. To meet surging demand, companies are signing multi-year GPU contracts but this also means they're taking on serious duration risk in the process. Over the next 3 to 5 years, any single SKU of GPU can decline in price due to depreciation, obsolescence, or simple oversupply. As a result, companies have realized that they need a hedge, but bilateral, bespoke derivatives are arcane, slow, and difficult to navigate. That's why we built a self-serve pricer for cash-settled rate floors: Pick your SKU, calendar months, coverage, and floor level, and see you…

Show HN: Sloppie – Agentic development environment for Linuxhttps://github.com/otsaloma/sloppie

Hi! In my own development work I have noticed I less and less reach for Emacs and rather need the combo of a coding agent + git diff viewer + a stack of code-review comments to handle later. There's a lot of apps that do more or less that but mostly for Mac, heavy churn and too much features I don't need, arranged in a way that makes for a noisy and distracting interface. So, I wrote my own. Not as a throw-away project but one to actually use daily. It's tailored for my own needs and probably not useful as-is for others, but maybe something for inspiration or customization. Comments URL: http…
