Show HN: RFC Hub https://ift.tt/FCtnL7e

Show HN: RFC Hub I've worked at several companies during the past two decades and I kept encountering the same issues with internal technical proposals: - Authors would change a spec after I started writing code - It's hard to find what proposals would benefit from my review - It's hard to find the right person to review my proposals - It's not always obvious if a proposal has reached consensus (e.g. buried comments) - I'm not notified if a proposal I approved is now ready to be worked on And that's just scratching the surface. The most popular solutions (like Notion or Google Drive + Docs) mostly lack semantics. For example it's easy as a human to see a table in a document with rows representing reviewers and a checkbox representing review acceptance but it's hard to formally extract meaning and prevent a document from "being published" when criteria isn't met. RFC Hub aims to solve these issues by building an easy to use interface around all the metadata associated with technical proposals instead of containing it textually within the document itself. The project is still under heavy development as I work on it most nights and weekends. The next big feature I'm planning is proposal templates and the ability to refer to documents as something other than RFCs (Request for Comments). E.g. a company might have a UIRFC for GUI work (User Interface RFCs), a DBADR (Database Architecture Decision Record), etc. And while there's a built-in notification system I'm still working on a Slack integration. Auth works by sending tokens via email but of course RFC Hub needs Google auth. Please let me know what you think! https://rfchub.app/ December 1, 2025 at 10:34PM
