Show HN: Ryzova UCE – A local-first, rule-based software compatibility analyzer

Universal Compatibility Engine (UCE) is an open-source, local-first tool for analyzing software projects. Use this page to inspect a ZIP project archive or a public Git repository and understand compatibility risks before development, building, or deployment.

UCE examines project structure, programming languages, frameworks, runtime versions, package managers, dependencies, lockfiles, build tools, configuration files, and other signals that affect whether a software project can be installed, built, tested, or deployed reliably. The analysis is designed to turn technical project details into a practical compatibility report.

Provide a public repository when you want UCE to inspect a remote project. The analyzer can use repository files to identify the technologies and configuration that shape compatibility. This is useful for reviewing an unfamiliar open-source project, checking a repository before contributing, or finding likely setup problems before running a full build.

You can also choose a project archive directly from your device. ZIP analysis is performed locally in the browser, making it suitable for projects you do not want to upload to a third-party analysis service. UCE focuses on deterministic engineering checks and reports detected technology, severity, impact, and useful next steps.

Compatibility problems often appear when runtime versions, dependency ranges, lockfiles, build configuration, or environment assumptions do not agree. Finding these signals early can reduce failed installs, confusing build errors, and deployment surprises. UCE provides a compatibility baseline that developers can review before making changes.

UCE is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL 2.0). The project is intended to be understandable and inspectable by developers and open-source maintainers. Local project archives stay in the browser during analysis, while remote repository analysis occurs only when a repository is explicitly supplied. Use the analyzer to investigate a project and then review the generated findings in the UCE interface.
