We need everything in one place for our tools

Hey Hacker News, I’ve been working on this problem because time and time again I’ve had a mess of workspaces where you end up with 100s of tools and not a single workspace where it just all comes together and I don’t need to use so many tools.

I’m going to release an MVP where initially everything does come together with your existing tools, like a source of truth for all your tools so your whole team can see it.

But is this a problem you have, if so to what extent? And do you want to try out my MVP when I release the MVP (I’ll comment you the link when I do)?

Best, Imran

    I'm not sure about putting all tools in one place. I'm using toolboxes, and I organize related tools together. For example, there's a toolbox with bike-maintenance specific tools only. One big tool cabinet with everything would be harder to keep organized, more expensive, and harder to lug around.

    This is a problem I have and I would like to solve it via some FOSS and offline-only solution, because a single source of truth of all my workspaces is not something I tolerate to be altered or lost or revealed to John Doe.

    I don’t understand what you mean by a “workspace”. What’s the context? What tools are you talking about?
