I think it's currently non-selfhostable. You can host your own git server (knot) and CI runner (spindle) but not really the UI/API itself, but they're working on changing it. Currently it's a bit centralised

Am I the only one that despise TanStack docs? most of them seem AI-generated, incomplete and repetitive.

honestly the issue with Zen is that they collect and might sell your data

nice, I have been hearing about Codex a lot, so I will def try it

Ask HN: Alternatives to Claude (Code)?

vixalien — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 20:44:41 +0000

Hello all, been trying to switch away from Claude Code and have been trailing this:

- Harness: Opencode (via Openchamber) - Subscription: GitHub Copilot (50$) - API Usage (beyond subscription): Open router - Free models: Opencode go

Here's the models I've trialed and like:

- Large (alternative to Opus): GPT 5.3 Codex - Medium (alternative to Sonnet): Minimax 2.7 - Smol: GPT 5.4 mini

these models are not yet on par to their respective Claude alternatives for me, but maybe I need to switch to something else or tune them, what have you been using?

Also looking for nice Opencode plugins, skills, completion providers (alternative to Cursor that I could use with Zen).

Happy to hear about your choices and experience

I used to have this, but it takes up so much resources. not fit for small servers.

Ask HN: What's Your AI Workflow?

vixalien — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 23:21:06 +0000

Hello, I'm a junior engineer and has seen more and more people pivot to AI for agentic coding. Just wanted to know how you all use AI (if at all). Particularly interested in workflows you use to deliver quickly and fight AI-isms, such as skills, tools, harnesses, MCP, etc...

Thank you

I've been working on Peachy, a framework for writing native Linux applications easier and faster with React and GTK: https://peachy-9b8f81.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/

Very WIP and no docs, but I hope it will be helpful someday

Ask HN: Do you stay away from Contributor Licence Agreements?

vixalien — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 00:39:58 +0000

Hello everyone. So a while ago I stumbled upon Shopify's Polaris, which is a React UI framework. It seemed like a nice project overall, and while I appreciate it being an open source project (they didn't have to do that), it has a weird licence which is basically a modified version of the MIT licence but with a clause that prevents competitive usage.

Now, the other interesting bit is that the project also has a Contributor Licence Agreement (CLA) which also seems to provide all copyright to Shopify. I don't really understand how these legal stuff work in software, but I heard that CLAs have been used in the past to profit off contributors by moving to another proprietary licence (MongoDB and Elastisearch did that)

Then do you (developers on HN) stay away from CLAs? It doesn't sound too risky for me, and I've probably listened to one too many open source activists.

Another question, if I may, would it be possible to relicense a fork of Polaris to MIT (removing the Shopify clause?)

New comment by vixalien in "Ask HN: How Long Does a Deployment Take at Your Company"

vixalien — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 20:34:24 +0000

I have a Next.js app too, and it takes about 1m30 to deploy. it really takes longer to build when your app gets larger, and if I'd had to rebuilt the app focusing on build time, I'd probably go with Remix

(note this is with Vercel's [proprietary] build cache, it takes longer when there's no build cache)
