The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Ramekin – IoT development, deployment and update platform via Apptainer · score 7.0

  Ramekin is an IoT deployment platform that turns small boards into container-based appliances using Apptainer and gokrazy, with atomic A/B updates, health-checked rollbacks, signed images, and fleet encryption. It combines several existing tools into a coherent secure-over-the-air workflow without a shell or package manager on the device, which is a meaningful approach for edge deployments.

• Show HN: Code Counter Machine a modern analysis of AI driven development costs · score 6.5

  CCM is a Rust-based code counter and change-impact analyzer that goes beyond line counts to estimate AI-assisted development costs by modeling token usage, sandbox sessions, and human review effort. It offers fast scanning of large codebases, multiple output formats, and a transparent, editable cost model, making it useful for teams tracking AI-augmented workflows.

• Show HN: Specification First Agentic Development Plugin and Prove · score 5.7

  Spec-first is a methodology and Claude Code plugin for specification-driven agentic development, where a written YAML spec is reviewed against code before an AI agent builds it, and a commit-msg hook enforces build/test checks. It differentiates from vibe coding and existing spec tools like Spec Kit by validating specs against the codebase pre-build and gating commits, offering a structured process for teams using AI coding agents.

• Show HN: Connectio – One local address for all your development servers · score 5.5

  Connectio is a local proxy manager that routes HTTP requests to multiple local development servers through a single address, eliminating CORS and cookie issues. It provides a GUI for configuring path-based routing rules, request logging, and optional Cloudflare tunnels for sharing. While not a new concept (similar to local reverse proxies), the integrated dashboard and tunnel support make it more accessible than hand-editing nginx configs.
