FWIW, I really like what Tangled is doing and I agree that we need a federation of forges. Which is why, I am planning to use ATproto too for public repositories in the code forge I am building, https://juju.bi

I am building a new code forge at https://juju.bi

It's not agent-first, but I can't think of any features that are needed for agents other than scalability.

New comment by pksunkara in "Ask HN: Which GitHub features are needed in a code forge before you can migrate?"

pksunkara — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 10:10:32 +0000

Let me start off (assuming all code forges have PRs)

  1. Branch protection rules
  2. CI
  3. Terraform provider (API)

Ask HN: Which GitHub features are needed in a code forge before you can migrate?

pksunkara — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 10:08:54 +0000

Which GitHub features would you consider a blocker for migrating to a different code forge, and in what order do you prioritize them?

Context:

I am heads down building a code forge (https://juju.bi) based on three ideas:

  - Code collaboration part should work offline
  - Should be compatible with GitHub API (like how some services are considered S3 compatible)
  - Support `change-id` based features (ex: Jujutsu's evolog)

I shipped a super-early version that I am currently dogfooding. https://juju.bi/changelog/2026-07-01-alpha-release

I am currently focused on improving the experience for small teams working on private repos. I would like to polish the overall product before thinking about public repos. (A lot of great forges exist for public repos right now).

I would love to know the need behind pushing over HTTPS. Is the SSH protocol not good?

I think the CLI is useful for pushing. What do you use to push all the rebased child branches?

I am still curious why they stopped offering their original service. What was the feedback from users? Why did developers not want to use it?

Thanks, missed that part. I would still be interested in knowing how much additional storage that adds, if the OP is interested in updating the article.

I think a stored generated column allows you to create an index on it directly. Isn't it better approach?

I am working on something for that at https://automa.app. Let me know if you are interested in trying it out.

pksunkara — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 03:35:42 +0000

Actually,

1. `color` feature and thus the `anstream` dep is optional.

2. Even if you use it, it handles all the behaviour correctly regarding the piping and no color support, which is why it is a dependency in the first place.

This ulid Postgres extension doesn't have any performance issues compared to native uuidv7 in Postgres. https://github.com/pksunkara/pgx_ulid. Just wanted to bring it up since it looks like the author didn't come across it when looking for ulid generators in postgres.

Disclaimer: I built it.

Where can I learn more about this? You guys don't seem to have any docs available.

How do you guys differ against https://www.speakeasyapi.dev and https://www.buildwithfern.com and https://liblab.com?

New comment by pksunkara in "Unexpected downsides of UUID keys in PostgreSQL"

pksunkara — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 09:20:42 +0000

Implementing support for UUIDv7 does not equal implementing support for ULID. ULID needs to be treated as a first class citizen (type, read format, storage format, converters) instead of being an afterthought result from UUIDv7.

I have built a postgres extension for adding ULID support which does what I described. https://github.com/pksunkara/pgx_ulid
