Show HN: We built a Plug-in Home Battery for the 99.7% of us without Powerwalls 41 by coleashman | 54 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I’m Cole Ashman, founder of Pila Energy. I’ve spent my career working on home energy systems—first as an engineer on Tesla’s Powerwall, where I focused on the Backup Gateway, Solar Inverter, and metering systems. More recently, I led Product at SPAN, where we built the Smart Electrical Panel and integrated with most major home solar, EV, and battery systems. Pila ( https://pila.energy/ ) is a home battery that plugs into a standard wall outlet, provides smart backup power, energy shifting, and grid services. It’s more than a power bank—it’s a distributed energy system that can scale across multiple rooms, entire buildings, and work together in real time as a coordinated system.

Ask HN: Best way to simultaneously run multiple projects locally? 6 by suralind | 8 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, I often work on couple of projects at the same time and am trying to figure out what’s the easiest way to run all of them at once. For example, let’s say that I want to run frontend and two backend services (each it’s own repo). My current approach is to run each on a different port, but I actually wonder whether setting up a small Kubernetes cluster with Traefik as proxy wouldn’t serve me better as I could then use Skaffold or something similar to deploy apps independently to the cluster. Basically looking for true and tested solutions. Thanks.
