Show HN: Home Maker: Declare Your Dev Tools in a Makefile
A developer's machine accumulates tools fast. A Rust CLI you compiled last year, a Python formatter installed via `uv`, a language server pulled from npm, a terminal emulator from a curl script, a Go binary built from source. Each came from a different package manager, each with its own install incantation you half-remember.<p>I wanted a way to declare what I need without adopting a complex system like Nix or Ansible just for a single laptop. The result was a plain old Makefile.<p>I wrote a short post on using Make (along with a tiny bash script and fzf) to create a searchable, single-command registry for all your local dev tools. It’s not a new framework or a heavy tool—just a simple way to organize the package managers we already use.<p>If you're tired of losing track of your local environment, you might find it useful.
Home Maker is currently a developer utility and workflow pattern rather than a scalable startup, leveraging legacy tools like Make to solve local environment drift. While it addresses a genuine pain point, it lacks a proprietary moat, a clear monetization strategy, and the necessary traction to be considered a venture-scale investment at this stage.
