I started a project involving several aviation tools while doing ground school for my private pilot license. It started as a way of learning the maths, and a replacement for the E6-B computer.

It is opensource, all the computations are done on the client side,

https://docs.gatana.ai/

Enterprise/Organization focused MCP gateway with support for sophisticated credentials management, integrates with OIDC/SAML, team and profiles support, external secret stores (AWS/GCP/Azure/Hashicrop Vault), using envelope encryption, and in-band-MCP authorization trigger for e.g. trying to use a tool which Gatana not yet has credentials for.

Ideal for Agent-2-Agent/dev teams/Github Copilot Agent (the one you assign issues)

Stack is k8s, NodeJS, React, Google KMS, hosted on GKE, with GKE Sandbox for local server isolation.

A service that allows you to post generic agent/task workload and execute and observe it in the background. Sort of for long timelines. I just want to have background agents to monitor various aspects of my digital life and keep those healthy, eg check if I’m using all of the tax credits and leverage them to get the most after tax cash, or constantly monitor my network and alert me when something is off, or scan and evaluate my public contributions and remind to post something new once in a while. Just a tool to make sure I am on top of everything.

Using Go on the back, React for ui, sqlite, containers for async work, openai. Trying to keep it simple.

I'm working on a no-code admin dashboard.

A small startup generally needs to explore and edit the production data. They would either build an admin dashboard, which is expensive, or use a database tool, which is bad for security. Not to mention a tool like pgadmin and dbeaver is clunky because they focus on database administration.

Backdoor is a self-hostable database querying and editing tool for teams. It reduces the need of an expensive admin dashboard. You can configure access control and validation policy for each user. The activities are tracked. It saves money and time, and it's more secure.

You can have your non-technical CEO, customer support, and sales to edit the production data in a safe and secure manner.

It currently supports Postgres and ClickHouse.

I'm looking for early users to iterate with. If this resonates with you, please reach out to me through the github repo: https://github.com/tanin47/backdoor

@blazingbanana

We have a similar product in the construction space. Would love to talk to you about some of our challenges and possibly work together. Interested?

Enterprise software for SAP migrations. Thousands of companies need to move from ECC to S/4HANA before 2027, and master data quality is the #1 blocker. Built a Windows extraction tool + web app that cleans and transforms data automatically. What used to take consultants months of manual Excel work now happens in days.
