The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Tfcap, a lock file for Terraform modules · score 7.5

  tfcap is a lock file and supply-chain security tool for Terraform and OpenTofu modules. It fingerprints modules, tracks their capabilities (network access, command execution, credential reads, IAM grants), and detects when a pinned version's content changes—catching moved git tags or swapped registry releases. It also offers a sandboxed plan mode, SBOM generation, and CI integration via GitHub Action.

• Show HN: Spotnote – click an element, hand your coding agent its file:line · score 7.3

  Spotnote is a Vite plugin that lets developers click any UI element in their running app, add a note, and copy a precise prompt with the element's file, line, column, and computed styles to the clipboard for coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor. It works across Vite frameworks, requires zero imports, and keeps production builds clean by only running in dev or explicitly enabled staging builds. The webhook feature even sends notes with screenshots to team chat or issue trackers.

• Show HN: Twig – An Android file manager for NAS, S3, restic and Git · score 7.3

  Twig is a size-first, dual-pane Android file manager that unifies local storage, archives, network protocols (FTP, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, S3), restic repositories, and media servers (Jellyfin/Emby) into a single expandable tree. It stands out for its modular 'one FileSystem interface' architecture, hand-written implementations of WebDAV, S3, Git, and restic, and a focus on minimal dependencies and small APK size.

• Show HN: Instancez – Supabase-compatible back end in one container and YAML file · score 7.3

  Instancez is a single-binary, Supabase-compatible backend that defines schema, auth, RLS, storage, and functions in one YAML file. It auto-diffs the YAML against the live Postgres database to apply migrations, and works with existing Supabase clients, making self-hosting dramatically simpler.
