2.
Show HN: Paca – Lightweight Jira alternative for human-AI collaboration
Worth watching if you care about agent-native planning tools instead of bolting chat onto existing ticket systems.
Paca is a free self-hosted project management platform where AI agents and humans collaborate as equal teammates inside Scrum workflows.
⚠ Uncertainty: Capabilities come from the project README and repo docs rather than independent usage data.

3.
Show HN: Lightweight Task queue on Erlang/OTP, SQLite-backed, no overengineering
Concrete infra tool for small teams that need durability and polyglot workers without running a full broker stack.
EZRA is a persistent SQLite-backed task queue that exposes a Redis-compatible streams API and keeps tasks visible until acknowledged.
⚠ Uncertainty: Performance numbers and trade-offs come from the maintainer README, not third-party benchmarks.

4.
Phoenix LiveView 1.2 Released
Framework release with concrete template/CSS workflow changes for teams shipping LiveView apps.

5.
Free SQL→ER diagram tool, runs in the browser, nothing uploaded
Small but practical utility if you regularly need quick schema visualization without pasting SQL into a hosted service.
The tool parses CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE DDL locally in the browser and never uploads the schema.

6.
Codex for open source
Potentially relevant to OSS maintainers, but not strong enough to promote without readable source details.
A new OpenAI form exists for Codex for open source, but the linked page could not be read because it served a Cloudflare challenge.
⚠ Uncertainty: Could not read the page contents because the source returned a Cloudflare challenge instead of the form body.
