The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Tracegate – local CI that only skips tests it has proven it can skip · score 8.0

  Tracegate CI is a local CI tool that records per-test code footprints (executed functions, loaded modules, read files) and uses a ledger plus a shadow audit period to safely skip tests whose footprint hasn't changed. It includes a broker for queuing work, adaptive capacity management, AI-assisted red triage via MCP, and automatic suspension when a skip is proven wrong.

• Show HN: Groundhog – local email catcher that also emulates provider HTTP APIs · score 7.8

  Groundhog is a local email catcher that emulates SMTP and the HTTP send APIs of multiple email providers (SendGrid, Postmark, Mailgun, Resend, Amazon SES) so developers can test email sending without real credentials. It includes a web inbox, failure simulation, webhook simulation, and testing helpers, making it a comprehensive tool for development and automated testing.

• Show HN: Local Code – Run DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017 Locally on Your Mac · score 7.5

  Local Code is a private, on-device AI agent for Apple platforms that combines an Apple Silicon inference engine, model-specific coding harness, and sandboxed agent runtime with Python, Node.js, shell, and other built-in tools. It streams Mixture-of-Experts weights from disk to run large DeepSeek models on Macs with less memory than the checkpoint, and provides extensive sandboxed capabilities like document conversion, image generation, and web browsing.

• Show HN: Armite - a local Azure emulator with a real identity plane and RBAC · score 7.5

  Armite is a local Azure emulator that focuses on providing a realistic identity and RBAC plane, allowing developers to test authorization logic offline. It mints and verifies tokens, evaluates role assignments on both management and data planes, and supports services like Key Vault and Storage with proper RBAC enforcement. This fills a gap in local Azure development by making authorization failures reproducible on a laptop or in CI.
