Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Comments on this site concern a SaaS startup tools list from 2020 and the Sleuth deployment-tracking product. None of them judge the writing itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
AI agents are proliferating across your org with zero governance. Skills gives you security, visibility, and control over every agent, skill, and MCP server, across every tool and team.

HN discussionGreat list! Here's a similar blog I wrote a few months ago describing what I felt were the essential SaaS startup tools for <$100 - basically what we felt as we built our startup were the necessary tools to get us off the ground and functioning as a company - https://www.sleuth.io/post/the-2020-saas-startup-100-essenti...

HN discussionWhen I worked at Atlassian, we had this issue as well, given all the many services that were deployed for products. A few of us left and created Sleuth [1] to solve it for Atlassian and folks like you. Sleuth helps you know what is deployed, its health, and helps with workflow automation. It also tracks the DORA metrics so you know how healthy a service release processes is. [1] https://sleuth.io

HN discussion> Sad that it doesn't seem to offer any deployment visibility options. I would love to connect it to our CI/CD system to see what changes are currently being rolled out. Deployment visibility is what my startup - https://sleuth.io - is trying to focus on, with light workflow sprinkled in. Other options I've found are usually tracking as a side feature of a tool like Sentry, Rollbar, or GitHub, or a completely custom…

HN discussionAs my startup [1] is in the domain of CI/CD, I've been doing a bunch of customer development interviews to better understand how teams deliver software. I was also surprised how few teams use full Continuous Delivery, even at cutting edge tech companies. It is indeed often used by small teams, even within large companies, where they deliver internal backend services. The most common seems to be auto-deployed to stag…

HN discussionClicky: http://sleuth.io You should change the title to something like " Show HN: Sleuth - Real time deployment tracking " The link to the "live demo" is at the top and at the bottom, but it would be good to add another link in the main text (for people like me that ignore the top bar and the bottom link area :))

HN discussionHi HN — I'm one of the maintainers. The short version: sx treats skills, MCP server configs, slash commands, agents, hooks, and rule files as versioned packages. You define them once, push them to a vault (a local folder, a git repo, or our hosted backend), and install them where they belong. There's a lockfile so installs are reproducible, scope levels for org / team / repo / individual, and the CLI translates the…
