Show HN: Foundry: Deploy observability without the complexity
Hey folks, we at SigNoz have been working on something to make SigNoz deployment actually painless. Foundry takes care of all the deployment complexity – the configurations, tooling, everything needed to run SigNoz – so you can spend less time getting it up and running and more time actually using it. With just a single YAML config file and one command, you can have a fully operational SigNoz instance using Docker, Systemd, etc., across platforms or any cloud vendor. The concept: Like a metalworking foundry transforms raw materials into finished products, Foundry takes your config ("Castings"), forges it through deployment templates (the "Moldings"), and pours out a ready-to-run SigNoz instance.

React Progressive Blur – a lightweight component for smooth edge blur overlays
I built React Progressive Blur, a small React component that creates smooth, multi-layer progressive blur effects for modern UI overlays.
Instead of applying a single heavy blur, the component stacks multiple blur layers with increasing intensity and gradient masking. This produces a more natural blur transition — useful for video controls, image overlays, headers, and immersive UI layouts.
What it does:
* Creates progressive blur from any edge (top, bottom, left, right) * Uses layered backdrop-filter + CSS masks for smooth transitions * Fully customizable blur intensity * Works well with Tailwind and modern React apps * Lightweight and dependency-free
*Example use cases:*
* Video player overlays * Scroll fade effects * Glassmorphism UI * Hero sections and media previews
Example usage:
```tsx import BlurEffect from "react-progressive-blur";
<BlurEffect position="top" intensity={80} /> ```
Under the hood, it renders three blur layers with different strengths and masked gradients to simulate a progressive blur instead of a harsh edge.
Would love feedback from the community — especially on performance, API design, or alternative approaches to achieving this effect in modern CSS.

Claude Usage Monitor
If you use claude with other coding agents like pi or opencode, you might not get the `/usage` skill that claude code comes with.
So, I made this small CLI tool `claudemon`.
Install with `npm install -g claudemon`
Setup once with `claudemon setup`
And then run it: `claudemon`
I keep it running on one small terminal window. It keeps track of usage. Refreshes every few seconds. Completely local and private. Also, open source, if someone wants to help add some new features.
Open to feedback.
