🦞🌯 Lobster Roll

Hi HN,<p>I’m a solo founder and SRE background engineer. I built CleanCloud to solve a problem I kept seeing on teams I worked with: cloud accounts slowly filling up with orphaned, unowned, or inactive resources created by elastic systems and IaC — but nobody wants tools that auto-delete things.<p>C...

I built CleanCloud, an open-source CLI that finds orphaned cloud resources using read-only APIs. Safe for production.<p>12 rules shipped (6 AWS, 6 Azure):<p>AWS: Unattached EBS volumes, old snapshots, CloudWatch logs with infinite retention, untagged resources, unattached Elastic IPs, detached ENIs....

Most cloud cost tools require write access, send data to SaaS platforms, and generate reports no one acts on.<p>CleanCloud is different: read-only, runs in your environment, and enforces hygiene as a CI&#x2F;CD gate.<p>AWS Rules (10): - Unattached EBS Volumes - Old EBS Snapshots (90+ days) - Infi...

I hacked this together last night after trying a number of time-tracking/Pomodoro apps and realizing I disliked all of them and could just make one that fits my style. The goals for the tool are: _simplicity_, a _command-line interface_, and an optional plaint-text logging format that lends itself s...

So I've been working on a Lobsters iPhone app over the past day or so and I think I'm going to turn it into a full blown app. I've been working with jcs to get a basic JSON API going that I can build this on top of and we've already got a basic version working that lets you browse links on the front...

Check out my side project [https://domainregret.com/]. This is a marketplace for when you have domains you've been sitting on for a while that totally sounded like a good idea at 2am and you were a tad bit drunk but now you're not so certain. I'm trying to work out the kinks and get some feedback!

I was [asked to link](https://lobste.rs/s/pu55v6/ask_lobsters_what_are_you_working_on/comments/s4457f) when I finished my book project; printing took a couple weeks longer than expected. I'll write up a more technical blog post and leave a link as a comment here in a few days, but the high-level ver...

After seeing the sublime plugin (https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter) and getting a little jealous I decided to write my own version for vim. Still in beta status, and sadly not async - but that's on the roadmap to being fixed.

Worked on this at $dayjob, and we open sourced it yesterday. Initial driving requirements were: * Use as part of proof-of-concept testing with a 3rd party memcache proxy that speaks only the binary protocol * Work well with darner/kestral queues and nosql datastores (via proxies like couchbas...

So, I made this. It's a readable feed reader that promotes interesting content based on articles you vote for. This is not a finished product, I'm trying this "release early" thing hoping to get some opinions. The timing seems right with Google Reader disappearing. Readable.cc is open-source (...

Still very alpha... developed during a Startup Weekend event.

I built this in order to satisfy a personal need, i.e. to find the cheapest place where to buy books from. There are quite a few competitors out there already, but none of them quite lived up to what I wanted.

I wrote this to solve an internal need at our company and decided to open source it. Hope you like it!

I got really tired of Jenkins UI so I made some improvements. Hope you like this!

This is useful for me - hope it's also useful for you, and I hope to add to it soon.

I hope you don't mind the cross-post from HN, but it was suggested I share this here (and yay I finally got an invite over here ;)). So, I spent the weekend hacking out a Chrome extension (which will live at https://github.com/extensionwatch/chrome later tonight) that will hopefully help reduce the...
