When I started using Beads [1] (Steve Yegge's git-native issue tracking for agents) my agents' productivity improved a lot. It also became clear that Beads is a great scaffold for agents to coordinate around, even when working for different human minders.
So I built BeadHub, an OSS coordination layer on top of Beads. The Go CLI (bdh) wraps the beads bd client transparently: your existing beads workflows keep working, and coordination is added automatically.
- Agent-to-agent chat and mail: agents message each other ("I'm refactoring auth, hold off on the login endpoint").
- Claim detection with conflict rejection: agent A sets a task to in-progress; if agent B tries the same, bdh rejects it with a message explaining why.
- Automatic file reservations: when a file is modified, all agents know it.
- Live dashboard showing who's working on what, in real time.
The agents-chatting-with-each-other part feels almost magical. The agents negotiate task splits and API contracts, warn each other about breaking changes, and generally sort things out themselves. They also greatly improve coordination among the human team members, because the agents can handle the details in real time without involving their minders.
We use BeadHub to build BeadHub. Public dashboard: https://app.beadhub.ai/juanre/beadhub/
Try it — managed (no server setup):

    brew install beads
    curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/beadhub/bdh/main/install.sh | bash
    bdh :init --email you@example.com --project my-project
    bdh ready

Or self-host everything with Docker:

    git clone https://github.com/beadhub/beadhub.git
    cd beadhub && make start
    # then in your repo:
    bdh :init --beadhub-url http://localhost:8000 --project my-project

Everything is open source (MIT). Self-host the full stack, or use the hosted version at https://beadhub.ai — no signup required to browse the dashboard.
bdh works with any agent that can run CLI commands. We use it with Claude Code
(hooks make notifications automatic), but there's nothing Claude-specific about
the protocol.
Known limitation: agents can't be woken externally — they check for messages on
every tool call. In Claude Code, hooks trigger this automatically so latency is
seconds. Other agents may poll less frequently.

Most memory tools for LLMs just append to a flat list. Ember uses a different approach: a Shadow-Decay system that detects when new information contradicts stored memories and marks old ones stale automatically, rather than piling up conflicting facts.
It runs locally, stores everything in a vector database you control, and plugs into Claude (and other MCP-compatible clients) through 16 tools covering store, recall, graph search, and health monitoring.
The core problem it solves: you tell your AI you changed jobs, and three weeks later it still references the old one. Ember's contradiction engine catches that at write time.
Repo: https://github.com/Arkya-AI/ember-mcp
Still alpha — single user, some token overhead, scoring weights need tuning for different use cases. Posting here for technical feedback before wider release.

## Show HN: FeatureFlare – Feature flags for small SaaS teams tired of rolling their own
Hi HN,
At several companies I worked at, feature flags followed the same pattern:
Someone suggests LaunchDarkly.
Everyone agrees it’s solid.
Then someone sees the pricing.
The team decides to “just build something simple.”
A few months later:
- Flags scattered across the codebase
- No consistent rollout logic
- No structured targeting
- Weak environment separation
- No proper kill switch
- Old flags never cleaned up
Rolling your own starts simple but slowly becomes infrastructure you didn’t intend to maintain.
After seeing this happen more than once, I built FeatureFlare:
https://featureflare.com/
The goal isn’t to compete with enterprise platforms. It’s to serve small SaaS teams (1–10 engineers) that want proper feature flagging without sales calls or enterprise overhead.
Core functionality:
- Per-environment flags
- Percentage rollouts
- Rule-based targeting
- Immediate kill switches
- Simple API and SDK usage
The focus is on keeping flag logic centralized and structured so it doesn’t turn into conditionals scattered across the codebase.
I’d really appreciate feedback on:
- Is this actually a meaningful gap?
- Do most small teams just roll their own?
- What would make you not build this internally?
Happy to answer any technical questions about architecture, scaling model, or tradeoffs.

Hi HN — I built AgentCheck to make the agentic internet more legible.
AgentCheck is a public “AI bot posture leaderboard” built from declared public signals:
- robots.txt allow/deny rules
- public capability/interface files (e.g. /llms.txt and /.well-known/agents.json where present)
- weekly deltas so you can see policy changes over time
It answers: which bots a site declares it blocks/allows (using a fixed reference bot set), whether agent-readable interface files exist, and how posture changes week to week.
Important: this is not a claim about actual crawling activity — it’s posture + public interface signals.
Link: https://www.agentcheck.com/leaderboard/ai-bots
I’d love feedback on:
- other public signals worth adding
- how you’d define “agent readiness”
- edge cases where robots.txt parsing should be handled differently

Hey HN,
Like many of you, I've been frustrated with the iOS keyboard for years. Autocorrect gets worse with every update. Switching between languages is painful. Dictation dumps raw unformatted text. Apple doesn't seem to care.
So instead of switching to Android, I built Cerebro. It's a custom iOS keyboard that uses AI to actually help you write.
How it works: you type (or speak) what you want to say, pick a mode, and Cerebro rewrites it. That's it. No app switching, no copy-pasting into ChatGPT.
The feature that changed everything for me: Translation + Tone combined. I'm German, and I write messages in both languages all day. Now I just talk in German, pick "Professional English," and get a polished email. Or I write quick notes and pick "Friendly" to get something natural.
Other modes: grammar cleanup, summarize, expand, and you can create your own custom prompts.
Some background: I'm actually a bread baker. I run a YouTube channel called The Bread Code (350K subscribers) teaching people how to bake sourdough. But I'm also a software engineer, and this keyboard started as a side project to solve my own problem.
Built in Swift. Currently in TestFlight beta.
Try it: https://testflight.apple.com/join/x98U4HCk

Would love to hear what you think. Happy to answer questions about the keyboard extension API (it's... interesting to work with).

I built Delegate because I was tired of babysitting AI coding agents. Cursor is fast but you're in the chair.
I wanted to hand off five tasks and come back to PRs with agents already having peer reviewed each other's code.
Delegate is a browser-based tool where you talk to an AI manager. It breaks down your request into tasks, assigns AI agents, manages git (worktrees, branches, merges), and notifies you when code is ready for final approval. Post-approval, code is merged in local git repo's main.
It's open source (MIT), runs locally, uses Claude under the hood (BYOK).
Demo video: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5d2f5a8f-8bae-45b...
What works: parallel tasks, planning conversations,
code review before merge, git isolation.
What's rough: setup on non-trivial repos, agent quality varies, no integrations yet.
I'm using it to build Delegate itself. Looking for
developers willing to try it on real projects and tell me what breaks.

vipune is a local CLI memory store for AI agents. You tell your LLM agents to run vipune add "..." and vipune search "..." — it stores embeddings locally in SQLite and retrieves by semantic meaning, reranking and recency baked in, not keyword matching.
The problem it solves: agents needing historical knowledge of your project or other tasks that other agents are working on. Or just getting context transferred from session to session in clean and semantically searchable way. Most solutions require an API, a cloud service, or a running server. vipune is a single binary, no daemon, no keys, works offline.
I had a predecessor to vipune in my personal agentic flow for a long time, but it got bloated and decided on a rewrite and thought to share, maybe someone else will find it useful also.
And yes, this is written 99% by LLM agents, 100% monitored by yours truly.
It also does conflict detection — if you try to add something semantically similar to an existing memory, it flags it instead of silently duplicating.
Built in Rust, Apache-2.0. Binaries for macOS ARM64 and Linux. Early release — would love feedback on the use cases people try it for.

Hi HN,
I've been building CH-UI, an open-source ClickHouse workspace. Today I'm releasing v2, which is a complete rewrite from scratch.
v1 was a React SPA served via Docker. v2 is a single Go binary with an embedded Svelte frontend — download, run, open browser. No Docker, no Node, no runtime dependencies.
What it does:
- Multi-tab SQL editor with autocomplete
- Database/table explorer with data preview
- Saved queries
- Tunnel architecture: run `ch-ui server` on one machine and `ch-ui connect` next to your ClickHouse — secure WebSocket tunnel, no VPN needed
- Self-update (`ch-ui update`), OS service install (`ch-ui service install`)
Pro edition adds dashboards, scheduled jobs, AI assistant (BYO provider), governance (lineage, access matrix, policies), and alerting.
Core is Apache 2.0. Pro uses a signed license model (Ed25519).
Stack: Go 1.24, Svelte 5, SQLite (embedded state), Chi router, WebSocket tunnels.
GitHub: https://github.com/caioricciuti/ch-ui
Install: `curl -fsSL <a href="https://ch-ui.com/install.sh" rel="nofollow">https://ch-ui.com/install.sh</a> | sh`

I built a Proth prime tester on a Zybo Z7-20 FPGA ($200 board) and found a new 1,123-digit prime: 2079 * 2^3718 + 1.
Proth primes are numbers of the form k * 2^n + 1. They have a neat property: Proth's theorem gives you a deterministic proof of primality, not just a probabilistic test. If you can find an integer a where a^((p-1)/2) = -1 mod p, the number is proven prime. No "probably" about it.
The interesting part is the hardware. The core is a 4096-bit Montgomery CIOS multiplier running on a Zynq-7020. It uses 28 DSP48E1 slices and runs at 74 MHz, doing one full modular multiply in ~8,514 clock cycles. The host PC runs an algebraic sieve (eliminates ~92% of candidates using discrete logarithms mod small primes), precomputes the Montgomery constants, then ships each candidate to the FPGA over UART at 115200 baud.
PrimeGrid has exhaustively searched all k < 1200 up to n > 3,000,000. Everything above k = 1200 is wide open. I picked k = 2079 because my sieve showed it had the most surviving candidates at high n. Nobody had ever tested it before.
The prime also divides 5 Generalized Fermat Numbers, which was an unexpected bonus.
12 hardware bugs found along the way. Highlights: Vivado 2019.1 silently prunes register bits when a muxed datapath has sources of different widths. The Montgomery CIOS algorithm produces results in [0, 2p) not [0, p), and without normalizing after every multiply, the error compounds across thousands of squarings. Non-blocking assignments in Verilog mean your "combinational" readout is actually one cycle stale.
All RTL (Verilog), Python scripts, and build files are open source.
Verify it yourself:
  p = 2079 * (1 << 3718) + 1
  print(pow(5, (p-1)//2, p) == p - 1)  # True

Hi HN, we built a better search for Kalshi and Polymarket. You can use it on the web, via API, or through MCP so AI agents can query it too.
There are about 80k active contracts across both platforms right now. Sports, weather, crypto, politics. Tonight's NBA games, BTC up or down in 5 mins. You name it. We trade prediction markets everyday and needed a smarter way to search across all of them.
We started by ingesting everything into Postgres and writing SQL to get insights. Then we plugged in Claude to query the DB for us. Type a question, get structured results. That actually worked and felt like what search should be. But the answers were only as good as the data, and the data was a mess.
The core problem: both platforms structure their data completely differently. One NBA game on Kalshi is dozens of separate contracts, each with its own ticker. Polymarket has the same game as a handful of contracts with different naming. One says "Cleveland," the other says "Cavaliers." You can't search across any of it without cleaning it up first.
So we built a pipeline to clean the data and classify it properly. Every market goes through it. Structured parsing for the predictable stuff, LLM for free-form titles/descriptions the rules can't handle. New markets get picked up and classified within minutes. Not glamorous work but it's what makes the search return the right results.
Some things you can try:
"NBA tonight" — games from both platforms resolving today
"Zelensky markets on Polymarket" — filtered to one platform
"Weather in Chicago today" — Kalshi has an entire weather derivatives market
"Kalshi trending" — sorted by volume
"pokemon" — you'd be surprised what people bet on
If you want to use it programmatically, there's a REST API (GET /api/search?q=...) and an MCP server at attena-api.fly.dev/mcp so AI agents can search prediction markets as a native tool. Docs at attena.xyz/docs/search.
Not everything works perfectly yet. But we built this for ourselves and figured others might find it useful too.

There's LLM Council and similar tools, but they use predefined model
lineups. This one is different in a few ways that mattered to me:
*Bring your own models.* Mix Ollama (local), OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq,
Google — or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — in whatever combination you
want. A council of DeepSeek-R1 + llama2-uncensored + mistral-nemo is a
very different deliberation than GPT-4o + Claude + Gemini.
*Zero server, zero account, zero storage.* The app is purely static.
API calls go directly from your browser to providers. Nothing touches a
backend. No tokens, no sessions, no analytics. Your API keys never leave
your machine.
*Runs on your own hardware.* If you have Ollama, you can run an entire
council locally for free. I use a 5-member all-Ollama setup on an RTX 2070
(8GB VRAM) — sequential requests, slow, but completely private.
The deliberation process is 3 stages:
1. All members answer independently
2. Each member critiques anonymized responses from the others
3. A designated Chairman synthesizes a final verdict
A few things I found genuinely interesting:
- Reasoning models (DeepSeek-R1, QwQ) emit <think> blocks mid-stream.
  Stripping these while showing a " Thinking…" indicator keeps the UX
  clean without losing answer quality.
- The Contrarian persona on an uncensored model produces meaningfully
  different critiques than a safety-tuned model playing the same role.
- Peer review across models catches blind spots that a single model
  arguing with itself won't surface.

I built murl because interacting with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers from the command line was way more painful than it needed to be. MCP uses JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP, so every request means hand-crafting payloads with method names, params objects, and id fields. I wanted something that felt like curl.
Given an MCP server at https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp, murl lets you append virtual paths like /tools or /tools/read_wiki_structure that map to MCP methods. These aren't real HTTP endpoints — murl translates them into the right JSON-RPC calls behind the scenes:

  # List all tools on a server (NDJSON — one JSON object per line)
  murl https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp/tools | jq -r '.name'

  # Call a tool and extract the result
  murl https://remote.mcpservers.org/fetch/mcp/tools/fetch -d url=https://example.com | jq -r '.text'

  # Query a repo's wiki structure
  murl https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp/tools/read_wiki_structure -d repoName=anthropics/claude-code | jq -r '.text'

The -d flags work like curl — key=value pairs get auto-coerced into typed JSON arguments. You can also pass raw JSON directly.
A few things beyond convenience:
MCP from plain Bash. Any agent with shell access can call MCP tools — no SDK, no client library, no MCP session management. Vercel recently wrote about replacing 80% of their agent's tools with bash and getting better results (https://vercel.com/blog/we-removed-80-percent-of-our-agents-...). murl makes MCP servers accessible in that same pattern.
OAuth built in. MCP servers behind OAuth (like Glean, or anything using RFC 7591 dynamic client registration) just work. First call opens the browser, tokens get cached and auto-refresh. --no-auth for public servers.
LLM-friendly by default. Compact NDJSON to stdout, structured JSON errors to stderr, semantic exit codes. -v for human-readable output.
Handles transport quirks. Streamable HTTP, session-based SSE (mcp-proxy), regular JSON responses — murl detects and handles them all.
You can try it right now against public servers:

  brew install turlockmike/murl/murl

I wanted a typed client for existing REST endpoints without adopting tRPC's architecture or maintaining OpenAPI schemas. Most solutions either replace your routing layer or add a build step. This just wires TypeScript types to your existing routes.
You describe your routes once with a lightweight helper, then get a fully typed fetch wrapper. Params, query, body, and output are all inferred. Wrong shapes are compile errors. Zero dependencies, zero runtime magic.
```
// before
const user = await fetch(`/users/${id}`).then(r => r.json()) // any<p>// after
const user = await api.getUser({ params: { id } }) // User
```
Works with any framework (Express, Hono, Next.js, etc). Optional Zod integration if you want runtime validation from the same source of truth.

Hi HN,
I built Agent Passport, an open-source identity verification layer for AI agents. Think "Sign in with Google, but for Agents."
The problem: AI agents are everywhere now (OpenClaw has 180K+ GitHub stars, Moltbook had 2.3M agent accounts), but there's no standard way for agents to prove their identity. Malicious agents can impersonate others, and skill/plugin marketplaces have no auth layer. Cisco's security team already found data exfiltration in third-party agent skills.
Agent Passport solves this with:
- Ed25519 challenge-response authentication (private keys never leave the agent)
- JWT identity tokens (60-min TTL, revocable)
- Risk engine that scores agents 0-100 (allow/throttle/block)
- One-line verification for apps: `const result = await passport.verify(token)`
It's fully open source (MIT), runs on free tiers ($0/month), and has a published npm SDK.

Hi HN,
I got frustrated with the current landscape of 10-minute mail services. They are often full of ads, Google Analytics trackers, and clunky interfaces--completely defeating the purpose of a "privacy" tool.
I built MephistoMail as a clean, RAM-only frontend alternative. It uses the mail.tm/mail.gw APIs under the hood for actual inbox mapping but handles everything on the client side in volatile memory. If you close the tab, the session is gone. Zero logs are kept on our end.
Tech stack: React 18, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Lucide.
Would love to hear your thoughts, roasts, and suggestions!

Hey HN, just wanted to share a fun, vibe-coded Friday night experiment: a little playground for writing cellular automata in a subset of Rust, which is then compiled into WGSL.
Since it lets you dynamically change parameters while the simulation is running via a TUI, it's easy to discover weird behaviors without remembering how you got there. If you press "s", it will save the complete history to a JSON file (a timeline of the parameters that were changed at given ticks), so you can replay it and regenerate the discovery.
You can pan/zoom, and while the main simulation window is in focus, the arrow keys can be used to update parameters (which are shown in the TUI).
Claude deserves all the credit and criticism for any technical elements of this project (beyond rough guidelines). I've just always wanted something like this, and it's a lot of fun to play with. Who needs video games these days.

I built this to solve a recurring problem in multi-repo, multi-environment setups:
it’s surprisingly hard to answer “what is actually running where?” without checking several systems.
WatchTurm is an open-source release visibility layer. It aggregates metadata from sources like GitHub, Jira and CI (e.g. TeamCity), generates a structured snapshot of environment state, and surfaces it in a single control view.
It doesn’t replace CI/CD or manage deployments. It sits above automation and focuses purely on visibility:
- what version runs in each environment
- how environments differ
- what changed between releases
I’m currently using it in my own daily work and would really appreciate technical feedback, especially from teams with multi-environment pipelines.

For a fun side weekend project we gave our own OpenClaw agent called "Mahmut" a face and had a live interview with it. It went surprisingly well.
Here's a sneak peek from the interview: https://x.com/ptservlor/status/2024597444890128767
User speaks, Deepgram transcribes it, OpenClaw Gateway routes it to your agent, ElevenLabs turns the response into speech, and LemonSlice generates a lip synced avatar from the audio. Everything streams over LiveKit in real time.
Latency is about 1 to 2 seconds end to end depending on the LLM. The lip sync from LemonSlice honestly surprised us, it works way better than we expected.
The skill repo has a complete Python example, env setup, troubleshooting guide, and a Next.js frontend guide if you want to build your own web UI for it.

I built Agent ROS Bridge to solve a problem I kept hitting: connecting AI agents (LLMs, autonomous systems) to real robots running ROS is painful.
ROS is powerful but has a steep learning curve for AI/ML folks. Writing custom bridges for every integration wastes time. This gives you a universal solution.
What it does:
• Single decorator turns Python functions into ROS actions/services/topics
• Auto-generates type-safe message classes from .msg/.srv files
• Built-in gRPC + WebSocket APIs for remote control
• Works with ROS1 and ROS2 (tested on Humble/Jazzy)
• Zero boilerplate — focus on robot logic, not middleware
4 Dockerized examples included:
• Talking Garden — LLM monitors IoT plants
• Mars Colony — Multi-robot coordination
• Theater Bots — AI director + robot actors
• Art Studio — Human/robot collaborative painting

I co-founded SmartrMail (email marketing SaaS, 12K ecommerce customers, acquired 2022). When I left, I no longer had access to the sending data I'd spent years learning from,  billions of sent emails, deliverability patterns, things that actually move email engagement
Cos' I don't have this data anymore, I built the best thing I could to help with the email marketing I currently do:
---
my research process
Multiple sprints across all major email marketing topics. The crawler pulled 908 sources: Litmus, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Campaign Monitor, and Salesforce annual reports; practitioner blogs; academic research; platform documentation; Reddit threads; Shopify forums; and community discussions on X. From those, I extracted 4,798 discrete insights. Every claim that made it into the guide has a source. Anything that was unsourced opinion got cut.
That produced EMB v4: Over 80k words across 16 chapters. After two editorial passes, cutting duplicates, consolidating overlapping sections, removing anything that didn't earn its place it landed at 55,000 words. I reached out to all the email experts cited for their feedback too, over half contributed and made changes. I was stoked with that.
---
the skill vs bible issue
The full 55K-word guide is too big for a context window. You can't just point Claude at the whole thing and expect coherent answers.
So the SKILL.md is a separate, condensed extraction: the key frameworks, benchmarks, practitioner names, and tactical thresholds that fit in context. When you ask Claude a question with the skill installed, it's drawing on a structured summary rather than trying to retrieve from a raw document dump.
but this creates a problem not solved yet: the skill and the Bible can drift. As the Bible gets updated (experts send corrections, better data emerges), the skill needs to be manually kept in sync. The obvious fix is an MCP server that connects them so changes to the Bible automatically propagate to the skill. I'll probably build that with the next big update to the bible.
---
the data gap
I saw on smartmail that occasionally "conversion wisdom" or email best practise would actually not line up with our real, aggregate sending data. Eg "best time of the week to send a newsletter is 9am tue/thurs". Nope. Was absolutely a case by case solution and the rule of thumb here would often hurt email engagement.
So, the weakness of this project is it's built on published research, not proprietary sending data. Published benchmarks are backward-looking, aggregated across wildly different use cases, and often produced by ESPs with an incentive to make email look good.
What I'd really want is anonymised send-level data from real campaigns. Subject line → open rate, across list sizes, industries, send times. Body structure → click rate. Flow configuration → revenue per recipient.
If anyone is working on this or has access to send-level data and wants to contribute, I'm very interested.
---
the ESP integration problem
The other thing I'm frustrated by is AI connections into ESPs are still terrible. Most platforms have API coverage for basic CRUD operations but nothing close to what you'd need to actually run a campaign from Claude. You can pull subscriber counts. You can't meaningfully analyse flow performance, trigger segment rebuilds, or get real deliverability diagnostics programmatically.
A few ESPs are starting to add MCP servers (it's mentioned in Ch 14 of the guide), but it's early and patchy. Until that's solved, the skill is advisory, it can tell you what to do, it can't do it for you. That gap is worth building toward.

Hi!
I've been frustrated with the fact that the beautiful NumberFlow library for web (link) is not available on React Native - a platform that I think is much more animation native than the web is. And there are no alternatives of the same quality available. So I reimplemented it myself, basically from the ground up.
Introducing Number Flow React Native.
I am aiming for this to be the best number animation library for React Native.
- Beautiful animation easing directly inspired by web NumberFlow
- Supporting both Native and Skia versions
- Full i18n support for locales, things like compact or scientific notations, etc.
- TimeFlow component for timers and counters
- Custom digit bounding for things like binary
- Supporting 37 different numeral systems such as Arabic, Thai, and many others
- A dedicated, shared worklet mode for as much FPS as possible  perfect for sliders or gestures for example
- Built on top of React Native Reanimated v3+
- Also supports web via Expo Web
Please check out the docs: https://number-flow-react-native.awingender.com/docs
And star it on GitHub if you like it: https://github.com/Rednegniw/number-flow-react-native

I built Velo because I wanted Superhuman's speed and keyboard workflow without the $30/month price tag or sending all my data through someone else's servers.
Velo is a local-first desktop email client. Your emails live in a local SQLite database - no middleman servers, no cloud sync.
It works offline and your data stays on your machine.
What makes it different:
- Keyboard-driven - Superhuman-style shortcuts (j/k navigate, e archive, c compose, /search).
  You can fly through your inbox without touching the mouse
- Built with Tauri v2 + Rust backend - ~15MB binary, low memory usage, instant startup.
  Not another Electron app
- Multi-account - Gmail (API) and IMAP/SMTP (Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Fastmail, etc.)
- AI features (optional) - Thread summaries, smart replies, natural language inbox search.
  Bring your own API key (Claude, GPT, or Gemini). Results cached locally
- Privacy-first - Remote images blocked by default, phishing link detection,
  SPF/DKIM/DMARC badges, sandboxed HTML rendering, AES-256-GCM encrypted token storage
- Split inbox, snooze, scheduled send, filters, templates, newsletter bundling, quick
  steps, follow-up reminders, calendar sync
Tech stack: Tauri v2, React 19, TypeScript, SQLite + FTS5 (full-text search), Zustand,
TipTap editor. 130 test files.
Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Apache-2.0 licensed.
GitHub: https://github.com/avihaymenahem/velo

Hi HN,
I built TypstMe because I was frustrated with the current state of resume builders. Most of them are either overpriced monthly subscriptions or tools like Canva that produce absolute-positioned PDFs which ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) often fail to parse correctly.
The Tech:
I wanted the precision of Typst but with a GUI accessible to everyone. The core engine uses Typst compiled to WebAssembly (WASM), allowing for instant, pixel-perfect previews directly in the browser.
Key Features:
1. ATS-First Architecture: Unlike SVG or image-based exports, TypstMe generates clean text nodes that ensure 95%+ parsing accuracy in major ATS platforms.
2. AI Assistance: Integrated an LLM-powered assistant (via Cloudflare Workers) to help with "Executive Tone" and metrics optimization.
3. No Subscriptions: I hate the "pay monthly to search for a job" model. TypstMe is free to try, with a one-time lifetime payment for the Pro features.
Technical Stack:
- Next.js, Supabase, Prisma.
- Typst-ts (WASM).
- AI proxied through Cloudflare Workers for rate-limiting and cost control.
I’m looking for feedback on the editor's UX and the technical rendering performance. I'll be around to answer any questions!

We built an open-source CLI that generates code, runs tests, fixes failures, and gets an independent AI review — all before you see the output.
We started with a multi-model pipeline where different AI models handled different stages (architect, implement, refactor, verify). We assumed more models meant better code. Then we benchmarked it: 39% average quality score at $4.85 per run. A single model scored 94% at $0.36. Our pipeline was actively making things worse.
So we killed it and rebuilt around what developers actually do when they get AI-generated code: run it, test it, fix what breaks. The Loop generates code, runs pytest automatically, feeds failures back for targeted fixes, and repeats until all tests pass. Then an independent Arbiter (always a different model than the generator) reviews the final output.
Latest benchmark across three tasks (simple CLI, REST API, async multi-agent system):
Single Sonnet: 94% avg, 10 min dev time, $0.36
Single o3:     81% avg,  4 min dev time, $0.44
Multi-model:   88% avg,  9 min dev time, $5.59
CRTX Loop:     99% avg,  2 min dev time, $1.80
"Dev time" estimates how long a developer would spend debugging the output before it's production-ready. The Loop's hardest prompt produced 127 passing tests with zero failures.
When the Loop hits a test it can't fix, it has a three-tier escalation: diagnose the root cause before patching, strip context to just the failing test and source file, then bring in a different model for a second opinion. The goal is zero dev time on every run.
Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, o3, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek. Bring your own API keys. Apache 2.0.

I spent 25 years as an enterprise IT admin and cybersecurity
engineer. In that time I've manually worked through CIS Benchmark
compliance on Windows Server more times than I want to count —
open the PDF, check each control in gpedit/secedit/registry, write
remediation scripts by hand. Days of work per server, every time.
I built JVBar to automate both halves: the assessment and the
remediation.
How it works:
- A read-only PowerShell script (Get-* cmdlets + secedit /export,
  no writes) collects the server config
- The engine compares it against 50 CIS Benchmark controls for
  Windows Server 2022/2025 and scores compliance 0-100
- For each failed control it generates a remediation script with
  rollback commands and a plain-English impact note
Currently covers Windows Server 2019, 2022, 2025 and Windows 11.
More controls and platforms (Active Directory, VMware ESXi, Azure)
on the roadmap.
Pricing: Free tier (3 scans/day), $29/mo Pro (unlimited +
remediation scripts), $99/mo Team. 90% off for first 20 customers.
The audit script source will be on GitHub shortly.

Hi HN, I'm lmw-lab, the builder behind Script Snap.
The Backstory:
I built this out of pure frustration. A while ago, I was trying to figure out a specific configuration for a project, and the only good resource I could find was a 25-minute YouTube video. I had to scrub through endless "smash the like button" intros and sponsor reads just to find a single 5-line JSON payload.
I realized I didn't want an "AI summary" of the video; I just wanted the raw code hidden inside it.
What's different:
There are dozens of "YouTube to Text" summarizers out there. Script Snap is different because it is explicitly designed as a technical extraction engine.
It doesn't give you bullet points about how the YouTuber feels. It scans the transcript and on-screen visuals to extract specifically:
Code snippets
Terminal commands
API payloads (JSON/YAML)
Security warnings (like flagging sketchy npm installs)
It strips out the "vibe" and outputs raw, formatted Markdown that you can copy straight into your IDE.
Full disclosure on the launch: Our payment processor (Stripe) flagged us on day one (banks seem to hate AI tools), so I've pivoted to a manual "Concierge Alpha" for onboarding. The extraction engine is fully operational, just doing things the hard way for now.
I'd love to hear your thoughts or harsh feedback on the extraction quality!

I've been working on filepack, a command-line tool for file verification on and off for a while, and it's finally in a state where it's ready for feedback, review, and initial testing.
GitHub repo here: https://github.com/casey/filepack/
It uses a JSON manifest named `filepack.json` containing BLAKE3 file hashes and file lengths.
To create a manifest in the current directory:

  filepack create

To verify a manifest in the current directory:

  filepack verify

Manifests can be signed:

  # generate keypair
  filepack keygen

  # print public key
  filepack key

  # create and sign manifest
  filepack create --sign

And checked to have a signature from a particular public key:

  filepack verify --key <PUBLIC_KEY>

Signatures are made over the root of a merkle tree built from the contents of the manifest.
The root hash of this merkle tree is called a "package fingerprint", and provides a globally-unique identifier for a package.
The package fingerprint can be printed:

  filepack fingerprint

And a package can be verified to have a particular fingerprint:

  filepack verify --fingerprint <FINGERPRINT>

Additionally, and I think possibly most interestingly, a format for machine-readable metadata is defined, allowing packages to be self-describing, making collections of packages indexable and browsable with a better user interface than the folder-of-files ux possible otherwise.
Any feedback, issues, feature request, and design critique is most welcome! I tried to include a lot of details in the readme, so definitely check it out.

WP2TXT is a command-line tool that extracts plain text from Wikipedia dump files. I originally built it in 2006 for corpus linguistics research and have maintained it since. The latest version (2.1) was largely rewritten with features for selective extraction:<p>- Auto-download dumps by language code (350+ languages)
- Extract specific articles by title without downloading the full dump
- Extract articles from a Wikipedia category with subcategory recursion
- Extract specific sections by name with alias matching (e.g., "Plot" also matches "Synopsis")
- Template expansion (dates, coordinates, unit conversions → readable text)
- Content type markers ([MATH], [TABLE], etc.) instead of silent removal
- Category metadata preserved in output
- JSON/JSONL output
- Parallel processing (English Wikipedia 24 GB dump: ~2 hours on Apple M4)
- Written in Ruby.

Zimbabwe has 90+ towns and cities, a population of 15+ million, significant agricultural and mining sectors — and almost no weather infrastructure built specifically for it. Global apps cover Harare and Bulawayo at best, and the AI summaries they generate read like they were written for someone in London.
I built mukoko weather to fix this. A few things that shaped the approach:
Weather as a public good. The platform is free, no ads, no paywalls. If a smallholder farmer in Chinhoyi needs frost risk data to protect their crops tonight, that can’t be behind a subscription.
Hyperlocal context matters more than raw data. Zimbabwe has distinct agricultural seasons — Zhizha (rainy), Chirimo (spring), Masika (early rains), Munakamwe (winter). Elevation varies dramatically: the Highveld sits above 1,200m, the Zambezi Valley below 500m. The AI assistant, Shamwari Weather, is prompted with this geographic and seasonal context so its advice is actually meaningful to the user.
Constrained environments are the primary target, not an edge case. Mobile-first, bandwidth-efficient, PWA-installable. The majority of users are on Android, often on 3G or spotty LTE. That’s not a future concern — it’s the baseline.
Technical decisions:
 ∙ Next.js 15 App Router on Cloudflare Pages + Workers
 ∙ AI summaries via Anthropic Claude SDK, server-side only, cached at the edge with KV and immutable TTL tiers (AI-generated weather advice shouldn’t change retroactively)
 ∙ Open-Meteo for forecast data (free, high-quality global model coverage)
 ∙ 90+ Zimbabwe locations validated against geographic bounds with elevation data for frost modelling
The broader vision is weather as infrastructure within a larger Africa super app (Mukoko Africa), with Zimbabwe as the proof of concept before expanding to other developing country markets using the same locally-grounded approach.
Would love feedback on the approach, especially from anyone who’s built for similar markets — low-bandwidth, mobile-dominant, regions underserved by global platforms.

I built VaultLink to solve a recurring problem: how do you securely share an API key or password with someone when you don’t use the same password manager (or don’t use one at all)?
VaultLink encrypts secrets client-side using the Web Crypto API (AES-256-GCM). The encryption key is delivered via a URL fragment (#key=...), which is never sent to the server. The server stores only ciphertext, IV, and salt. Decryption happens entirely in the browser.
Access requires email OTP, and view limits are enforced atomically at the database level to prevent race conditions.
It’s not trying to replace password managers or prevent a recipient from copying a secret. The goal is to reduce accidental exposure and long-lived credential leaks in chat.

Hi HN,
I built OffKit after noticing something about app blockers:
they fail the moment unblocking is too easy.
Most blockers rely on willpower.
But the apps they block (Instagram, TikTok, etc.) are engineered by teams optimizing retention with massive resources. That’s not a symmetric fight.
So instead of “motivation”, I experimented with friction.
OffKit lets you:
 • Select apps to block (social media, games, etc.)
 • Add a forced countdown when disabling the block (e.g. 30 seconds where you just have to wait)
 • Generate a QR code that must be scanned to block/unblock apps
The QR code part is interesting:
You can print it and put it somewhere physical — another room, your office, a drawer.
Now unblocking isn’t:
tap → dopamine
It becomes:
stand up → walk → scan → wait 30 seconds → reconsider
That small layer of friction changes behavior more than I expected. The delay gives your “rational” brain time to catch up to the impulse.
Technically, it’s built as a straightforward iOS app using Apple’s Screen Time / Family Controls APIs. No VPN tricks, no device management profiles.
Some observations so far:
 • Even 10–30 seconds of forced delay drastically reduces impulsive unlocks.
 • Physical distance (QR in another room) works better than purely digital barriers.
 • Users don’t want extreme lockdown — they want lightweight boundaries.
Curious what HN thinks about “friction design” vs. pure self-control tools.
Open to feedback on the concept and implementation.

I wanted to share some things most people outside the industry don't know, and a tool I built as a way to make the scale of it visible.
When you visit a site like NYTimes, your browser fires off 30-80 ad requests before the page even finishes loading. Each request broadcasts your device type, screen size, approximate location, browsing context, and a bunch of behavioral signals to dozens of ad exchanges simultaneously. This happens in under 200 milliseconds. Advertisers bid on you in real time before you've read a single headline.
But it goes beyond your browser. Walk past a digital billboard in a mall or on a highway and your device's mobile advertising ID can be picked up through location data. That DOOH screen doesn't know your name, but it knows a device with your behavioral profile was within range. Later that day you might see a retargeted ad on your phone related to a store near that billboard. That's not a coincidence.
None of this requires your name, email, or any PII. The industry doesn't need to know who you are. It just needs enough signal to understand what kind of person you are. Device graph matching, probabilistic ID resolution, contextual signals, and cross-device tracking build a shadow profile that follows you across screens without ever knowing your real identity.
I built a tool that estimates how much money the industry has spent targeting you personally based on your age, screen time, and country. It uses real CPM rates and impression estimates from the industry.
The site uses GoatCounter for anonymous page view counts, it's open source, cookieless, collects no personal data, and doesn't even need a GDPR notice. Your inputs never leave your browser. I built it this way because I know what the alternative looks like from the inside.

I built HN Showcase as a weekend project in 2011 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2843490) - a thumbnail gallery for Show HN posts. It got some love (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4053755, 158 pts), then went offline like all side projects do.
Fourteen years later, Show HN gets hundreds of posts per day and it's harder to find the interesting stuff. So I rebuilt it from scratch.
Every post gets a Playwright screenshot, then Claude Haiku analyzes the screenshot + page content + GitHub README to classify it into tiers (Gem → Banger → Solid → Mid → Pass) with a one-sentence editorial take and vibe tags like "Wizardry" or "Dark Horse."
The whole rating system was built by iterating with AI — I gave it the objective (surface interesting projects, don't inflate scores) and had it design the tier rubric, pick real posts as calibration benchmarks, and tune itself until the distribution had teeth. I didn't hand-label a single example. Out of a couple thousand posts analyzed, under 1% got "Gem."

Hi HN, I'm the maintainer of pmxt.
With Polymarket's recent acquisition of DomeAPI to bring their infrastructure in-house, there is a sudden gap for developers building cross-market arbitrage bots, tracking whale wallets, or running quantitative models across prediction markets. If you are trading across Polymarket, Kalshi, or Limitless, you need a unified API to avoid getting locked into a single exchange's ecosystem.
pmxt is stepping in to fill that void.

I've been experimenting with turning principles from classic software engineering books (Clean Code, DDIA, etc.) into structured "skill" files that AI agents can use during code review. Each skill is an opinionated instruction set grounded in known engineering wisdom — not a summary or excerpt.
Repo: https://github.com/ZLStas/skills
I'm trying to figure out the best way to wire this into a practical workflow — whether as a review layer or as a tool to iteratively refactor a legacy codebase into something clean and well-structured. A few open questions I'd love input on:
Does it make sense to use book-based principles as a structured lens for AI-driven code review?
How would you set up sub-agents to iteratively review LLM output — one agent creates, another evaluates — without the review becoming shallow or repetitive? Has anyone tried a different approach that worked better?
How do you maintain project context across multiple review passes so the agent doesn't lose sight of the bigger picture?

I posted this yesterday and kept building. Original post got some good feedback about wanting more domain-specific personas beyond the generic analyst/contrarian archetypes.
So I added them.
35 personas now, organized into actual professional structures:
Law Firm — Litigator + Corporate Counsel + Compliance Officer + Junior Associate, synthesized by a Senior Partner
Hospital Team — GP + Specialist + Pharmacist + Medical Ethicist, synthesized by Chief of Medicine
Editorial Team — Reporter + Editor + Legal Reviewer + SEO lead, synthesized by Editor-in-Chief
Corporate — CFO + CTO + CMO + Legal, synthesized by CEO
Startup — Founder + Engineer + Designer + Growth Lead, synthesized by Investor
Consulting — Strategy + Operations + Finance + Risk, synthesized by Senior Partner
Each persona has a role-specific system prompt tuned to how that function actually thinks — the CFO talks in EBITDA and burn rate, the Junior Associate flags the clause the partners missed.
Also shipped in v2:
Temperature slider per run (Precise → Balanced → Creative)
Follow-up questions — council carries the full prior verdict as context
Abort mid-run with partial result preservation
Export MD / PDF
Import/export council config as JSON
Webhook after every completed session (works with Zapier, n8n, Make)
Still zero backend. Still runs entirely in the browser. API keys never leave your machine.

Grantvera adds granular permission control on top of Google Sheets.
An owner selects a range to share. Within that shared range, the owner can explicitly choose which cells are editable and which are read-only, and can also set the input type of the editable cells for validation.
The assignee does not access the raw spreadsheet directly. Instead, they interact through a controlled web UI. Every write is validated server-side against the defined editable cell set, and only permitted cells are updated via the Google Sheets API.
All writes execute under the owner’s authorization context using the official Google's OAuth integration and Google Sheets API.
No spreadsheet content is stored, analyzed, or interpreted.
The spreadsheet remains the single source of truth. Grantvera acts as a constrained access layer on top of it.

I built cmcp, a proxy that sits between your AI agent (Claude, Codex) and all your MCP servers. Instead of registering each server individually — which can add 100+ tool definitions to your agent's context — you register one proxy that exposes just 2 tools: search() and execute().
The agent writes TypeScript to discover and call tools:
// search — find tools across all servers
return tools.filter(t => t.name.includes("screenshot"));
// execute — call tools with full type safety
await chrome_devtools.navigate_page({ url: "https://example.com" });
const shot = await chrome_devtools.take_screenshot({ format: "png" });
return shot;
Type declarations are auto-generated from each tool's JSON Schema, so the agent gets typed parameters for every tool. TypeScript is stripped via oxc and the JS runs in a sandboxed QuickJS engine
(64 MB memory limit).
Adding servers works exactly like you'd expect — just prepend cmcp to any claude mcp add command from a README:
cmcp claude mcp add chrome-devtools npx chrome-devtools-mcp@latest
cmcp install
Built in Rust with rmcp, rquickjs, and oxc. Inspired by Cloudflare's blog post on code-mode MCP.
What I found interesting building this: the biggest win isn't just fewer tokens — it's composability. An agent can chain calls across multiple servers in a single execution, which isn't possible
with individual tool calls.

Beads[1] (Steve Yegge's git-native issue tracking for agents) has been a great boost to my agents' productivity, but it's also made them more difficult to keep aligned.
So I built BeadHub, a coordination layer on top of beads. The Go CLI (bdh) wraps the beads bd client transparently: your existing beads workflows keep working, and coordination is added automatically:
- Agent-to-agent sync chat and async mail.
- Claim detection with conflict rejection: agent A claims a task; if agent B tries to claim the same, bdh rejects it with a message explaining why.
- Automatic file reservations: when a file is modified, all agents know it.
- Live dashboard showing who's working on what, in real time.
We use BeadHub to build BeadHub. Public dashboard: https://app.beadhub.ai/juanre/beadhub/
The agents-chatting-with-each-other part feels almost magical. The agents negotiate task splits and API contracts, warn each other about breaking changes, and generally sort things out themselves. They also greatly improve coordination among the human team members, because they can handle the details in real time without involving their minders.
Everything is open source (MIT). Self-host the full stack, or use the hosted version at https://beadhub.ai.
Self-host everything with Docker:

    git clone https://github.com/beadhub/beadhub.git
    cd beadhub && make start
    # then in your repo:
    bdh :init --beadhub-url http://localhost:8000 --project my-project

What doesn't work yet: agents can't be woken externally, so they need prodding to check their mail and incoming chats. In Claude Code, hooks trigger this automatically so latency is low. Other agents need reminding.

Hi YC / HN
I’m Malhar, founder of RealDeed PropPass — and We’re building what we believe is India’s first structured tokenized real estate marketplace enabling users to digitally own a fractional piece of Indian property starting from just ₹10,000.
The Problem
Real estate in India is:
High entry barrier (₹50L–₹5Cr+ tickets)
Illiquid
Paper-heavy
Hard to verify titles
Difficult for young investors or NRIs to participate
What We Built – PropPass by RealDeed
PropPass allows investors to:
Own fractional real estate digitally
Invest from ₹10,000
Receive structured ownership rights via SPV model
Access verified title documentation
Trade fractional ownership (24/7 liquidity enabled model)
Invest through escrow account mechanisms
Each property is:
Structured via an SPV (company/LLP model)
Digitally represented as land-area-backed units
Linked to verified property documentation
Managed through compliant banking rails and escrow segregation
We are working with regulated banking partners for escrow management and client fund segregation to ensure compliance-first infrastructure.
Compliance-First Approach
We are not a crypto speculation platform.
We are building structured, compliance-oriented rails including:
Escrow account segregation
KYC onboarding (Aadhaar / DigiLocker)
SPV-based ownership structure
Document verification integrations
Transparent disclosures
The goal: bring trust + transparency + liquidity to Indian real estate.
Why Tokenization?
Tokenization enables:
Lower entry barrier
Fractional diversification
Faster settlement
Transparent ownership tracking
Secondary liquidity potential
Instead of buying an entire flat, users can own measured land-area units digitally, backed by legal SPV structures.
Who It’s For
Young Indian investors & GenZ
NRIs wanting exposure to Indian property
Professionals diversifying beyond equity/FDs
Real estate developers seeking structured liquidity
Vision
Our long-term goal is to build:
India’s compliant real estate token exchange layer
A 24/7 fractional property liquidity marketplace
Digital property ownership rails integrated with banking systems
Looking for Feedback
We’d love feedback from:
Legal / securities experts
Blockchain engineers
Fintech founders

Hi, over the last few months I've been writing a Go package that parses systemd time formats because none of the packages I found were both flexible and fast enough for my use case.
The spec (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/syst...) is more complex than it looks, so it took me way longer than expected to get it working properly. Right now it can only parse time spans and timestamps. I plan to add support for calendar events since I’d like to cover the full spec, but it’s lower prio because I don’t need it myself. If anyone wants to play with it, contributions are welcome :)

New project!
I just built the first version of Nebark, an A/B testing platform for LLM system prompts. It aims to solve a very specific pain point: tracking prompt performance without forcing developers to wire trace IDs all the way through their backend to their frontend.
The Problem
If you want to know which system prompt variant generates better user feedback (upvotes, downvotes, or copy-to-clipboard events), the standard approach is intrusive. You have to generate a trace ID in your backend, pass it down to your client, attach it to your UI components, and send it back to your analytics DB. It creates friction and litters your API responses with telemetry metadata.
The Solution: Context Hashing
We decoupled the telemetry entirely using what we call "Context Hashing" to bridge the backend and frontend asynchronously.
Here is how the architecture works:
The Proxy (Backend): You point your OpenAI baseURL to our gateway. We intercept the request, inject Variant A or B of your system prompt, and stream the response back. Once the stream closes, our proxy calculates a unique cryptographic hash based on the interaction's content and stores it as a blind trace.
The SDK (Frontend): A lightweight vanilla JS script watches the DOM. It smartly waits for the AI's response to finish streaming and rendering on the screen. It then extracts the visible text and calculates the exact same unique hash locally, without intercepting any network traffic.
The Match: The SDK injects the feedback UI (/). When a user clicks, the frontend sends this calculated Hash and a local Session ID to our DB. We match this Hash against the Proxy's traces to attribute the vote to the correct prompt variant.
Why it’s interesting
Zero Backend Config: You only change the base URL. The backend remains completely unaware of the A/B test or the telemetry.
Semantic Caching Immunity: If your backend uses Redis to serve a cached response and skips our Proxy, the frontend will generate a Hash that doesn't exist in our DB. It naturally prevents skewed A/B data from cached hits.
The Edge Cases (Where I need your feedback)
The biggest risk with DOM hashing is hydration/rendering discrepancies. If a client's frontend uses an aggressive Markdown parser that strips out specific characters before rendering the text, the frontend hash won't match the proxy hash. We built a strict internal normalization engine on both ends to mitigate this, but it is an ongoing challenge.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this architecture. Is there a glaring edge case with DOM extraction or SSE proxying that I’m missing? Its free for now. Tear it apart.

I wrote a tiny 5kb library with a new concept for client-side interactivity: reactive hypermedia contexts embedded in HTML.
It looks like this:

  <div hctx="counter">
    <span hc-effect="render on hc:statechanged">0</span>
    <button hc-action="increment on click">+1</button>
  </div>

It comes with reactive state, stores, and allows you to build your own DSL in HTML.
One feature that stands out is the ability to spread a single context scope across different DOM locations:

    <!-- Header -->
    <nav>
        <div hctx="cart">
            <span hc-effect="renderCount on hc:statechanged">0 items</span>
        </div>
    </nav>

    <!-- Product listing -->
    <div hctx="cart">
        <button hc-action="addItem on click">Add to Cart</button>
    </div>

    <!-- Sidebar -->
    <div hctx="cart">
        <ul hc-effect="listItems on hc:statechanged"></ul>
    </div>

Contexts are implemented via a minimal API, and TypeScript is fully supported. For more details about capabilities check the docs dir in github repository.

I usually juggle multiple projects at once. One is always the priority, production work, but I like keeping side projects moving too.
My typical flow for those back burner projects was something like this. I would chat with Codex to figure out what to build next, we would shape it into a Jira style task, then I would hand that to Claude Code to make a plan. Then I would ask Codex to review the plan, go back and forth until we were both happy, then Claude Code would implement it, Codex would review the code, and we would repeat until it felt solid.
I genuinely find Codex useful for debugging and code review. Claude Code feels better to me for the actual coding. So I wanted to keep both in the loop, just without me being the one passing things between them manually.
My first instinct was to get the two tools talking to each other directly. I looked into using Codex as an MCP server inside Claude Code but it didn't work the way I hoped. I also tried Claude Code hooks but that didn't pan out either. So I ended up going with chained CLI calls. Both tools support sessions so this turned out to be the cleanest option.
The result is spec2commit. You chat with Codex to define what you want to build, type /go, and the rest runs on its own. Claude plans and codes, Codex reviews, they loop until things are solid or you step in.
This was what I needed on side projects that don't need my full attention. Sharing in case anyone else is working with a similar setup.

I built gr3p, a fully autonomous tech news discussion platform where every single user is an AI agent. No humans post, comment, or vote. 75 agents with distinct personalities discover real tech news from several RSS feeds, Google News, Tavily, and xAI's live search (which picks up trending topics from X and the broader web). They write summaries, share articles, discuss them, reply to each other, vote, and get into arguments. It runs 24/7 without any human intervention.
The news is real and very up-to-date, scraped from major tech sources throughout the day. It's actually a pretty chill way to keep up with the latest tech/AI news. No ads, no monetization, no signup required. This is a pure hobby project built for fun.
What's happening under the hood:
- 75 humanlike agents, each with a unique persona (cynical sysadmin, enthusiastic ML researcher, skeptical privacy advocate, junior dev who asks naive-but-good questions, etc.)
- Agents have individual topic interests, activity schedules, and writing styles
- I deliberately match AI models to personality types: "smarter" personas run on GPT-5.2, while less sophisticated characters use Llama 4 Maverick. This makes a surprisingly big difference. The Llama agents write messier, more impulsive comments, while GPT agents tend to be more articulate. Just like real people, not everyone on the forum is equally eloquent
- A day/night cycle drives the entire platform's behavior. Mornings are busy: fresh news gets scraped, articles drip-publish faster, agents comment more. Evenings shift toward replies and discussion, agents "chat" more in existing threads. At night, activity drops but never stops (tech is global), and the vibe gets cozier: fewer agents active, more concentrated discussion in fewer threads, like a late-night forum crowd
- Articles flow through a queue: scrape, AI deduplication, then drip-publish throughout the day
- Agents pick articles based on their interests, with a snowball effect. Popular threads attract more discussion, just like real forums
- Anti-repetition system: each agent remember their own recent comments to avoid falling into patterns
What I find most interesting:
The human-like (emergent?) behavior. Agents develop recognizable "reputations" in threads. Some consistently clash on privacy vs. innovation topics. Reply chains go 4-5 levels deep with genuine back-and-forth.
The failure modes are equally fascinating. Sometimes an agent "misreads" an article and comments on something tangential, which then spawns a whole side discussion. That's... exactly what happens on real forums.
Tech tack: Built on Vite + Nitro/Hono with JSX SSR for speed, MySQL + Prisma for the database (yeah I know, Postgres exists, but MySQL covers everything I need here and old habits die hard), and node-cron for scheduling. OpenAI and Groq handle the AI side.
Good to know: Completely free, no tracking, no ads. I just wanted to see what happens when you give AI agents a robust platform and let them run. The answer: surprisingly organic discussions, predictable biases, and occasional moments of accidental brilliance. I actually built a similar platform for the Dutch market based on daily general news, and I've found myself checking it every morning. It's become a genuine habit lol.

Hi HN. I am a programmer from Japan who loves Emacs. I am building elecxzy. It is a free (zero-cost), lightweight, Emacs-like text editor for Windows.
I designed it to be comfortable and ready to use immediately, without a custom init.el. Here is a quick overview:
- Provides mouse-free operation and classic Emacs keybindings for essential tasks (file I/O, search, split windows, syntax highlighting).
- Drops the Lisp execution engine entirely. This keeps startup and operation lightweight.
- Solves CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) IME control issues natively on Windows.
I never managed to learn Lisp. I just copy-pasted snippets to maintain my init.el. However, I loved the Emacs keybindings. I loved operating an editor entirely without a mouse. I wanted an editor I could just open and use immediately. Also, standard Emacs binaries for Windows often have subtle usability issues for CJK users.
So, I thought about whether I could build an Emacs-like text editor using Electron, the same framework as VS Code.
Building an editor inside a browser engine required thinking a lot about what NOT to build. To make it feel native, I had to navigate DOM limitations. I learned that intentionally dropping complex features improves rendering speed. For example, I skipped implementing "word wrap." For syntax highlighting, I did not use a full AST parser. Instead, I used strict "line-by-line" parsing. The highlight colors for multi-line comments are occasionally incorrect, but it is practically unproblematic and keeps the editor fast.
Under the hood, to bypass browser limitations and handle large files smoothly, I implemented a virtual rendering (virtual scrolling) system. For text management and Undo/Redo, I use a custom Piece Table. I built a custom KeyResolver for Emacs chords. I also used koffi to call Win32 APIs directly for precise IME control.
I respect Windows Notepad as one of the most widely used text editors. However, in my daily work or coding tasks, I often felt it lacked certain features. On the other hand, I found VS Code too heavy just to write a quick memo. Even with extensions, it never quite gave me that native Emacs flow. I do not want to replace Notepad, VS Code, or Emacs. If users want rich extensions and heavy customization, I believe they should use Emacs or VS Code. My goal is to fill the gap between them—to build a "greatest common denominator" editor for people who just want an Emacs-like environment on Windows without the setup.
It is still in alpha (so it might not work perfectly), but you can test it on Windows by downloading the zip from the GitHub releases, extracting it, and running elecxzy.exe. For screenshots, basic usage, and keybindings, please check the README on the GitHub project page.
I am looking for feedback: Is there a demand for a zero-config, Lisp-free, "Notepad-like" Emacs-style editor? What are the minimum standard features required to make it useful? I would love to hear your technical insights.

Hey HN, I'm Long. I started building CodeLayers in November — a 3D code visualization app that started on Apple Vision Pro and is now on iPhone and iPad.
Why I built this: AI agents are writing more code than ever, and I realized I had no idea what my codebase actually looked like anymore. I wanted a way to see the architecture at a glance — what depends on what, where changes ripple, where the complexity is hiding. And I wanted it on my phone, not buried in some CI dashboard.
But getting the visualization right was harder than I expected.
Force-directed graphs were the obvious first attempt. They look cool for 20 files. At 500+ it's an unreadable hairball — positions are random and it looks different every reload. No meaning to where anything sits.
City view was next — files as buildings, metrics as height. Impressive in screenshots but useless for understanding how code actually connects. You see size, not relationships.
BFS from foundations is what finally clicked. I run BFS upward from depth-0 files (files that import nothing — your utils, types, constants). Each file's depth is the longest path from any foundation. Cycles get collapsed via Kosaraju's SCC detection. The result: layers emerge naturally. Position has meaning. Bottom = bedrock everyone depends on. Top = entry points. You're looking at real architecture, not a physics simulation.
And it tells you something useful: depth predicts blast radius. A change at depth 0 can ripple through hundreds of files. A change at depth 5 probably touches nothing else.
Two features I'm most excited about:
Remote AI agents from your phone. You can point Claude, Gemini, or Codex at your repo and ask questions about your code while looking at the 3D graph. Waiting for a build? Pull out your phone, ask the agent "what calls this function?" and see it highlighted spatially. Dead time becomes time understanding your codebase.
Watching your graph grow. The CLI syncs in real-time as you code. Watch your architecture evolve — see when a new dependency adds a layer, catch when a refactor creates a cycle, notice when a file is becoming a god object that everything imports. In a world where AI agents are making PRs, being able to see the effect of changes on your codebase at a glance is the thing I care about most.
Privacy was a hard requirement — all source code is encrypted on-device with zero-knowledge encryption before it leaves your phone. I can't read your code.
Free to explore public repos. Pro unlocks working with your own repositories — private repo support, CLI watch mode, git time travel, and AI agents.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/codelayers/id6756067177

Hey HN, I'm Sándor. I built Wordy because I kept pausing Netflix to look up words in a dictionary. So I made a subtitle tool for myself, and it kind of snowballed from there.
What it does: You watch short clips from real movies and TV shows, then get quizzed on the vocabulary you just heard. The app tracks every word automatically and adapts to your level. 20+ languages.
How it evolved: Started as an iOS app for interactive streaming subtitles. Then I added curated video clips with quizzes. Then vocabulary tracking, spaced repetition, and personalized learning paths. Now it's iOS + Android + a Chrome extension (dual subtitles for Netflix and YouTube).
The whole thing is a solo project. Along the way it won a $30K prize at Hungary's biggest startup competition, which gave me the push to go full-time on it.

Hi HN!
I built my first Android app and deployed it into production!
This app has the following features such as:
- AI image recognition: snap a photo and it will estimate the carbs/calories/protein/fats. (not accurate yet but improving on it)
- AI chatbot: to ask for recipes or to log your food
set your fitness targets and it calculates how much nutrition you need daily.
- manual entry of your food & the ability to save food as a favourite
- data exports: to share with your PT
- integration with Health Connect
- track your weight & estimate the number of days to your target weight
I'm a solo developer and would love feedback or what other features I should include or add. Initially, I built this for my girlfriend so she could add her food and then export them for her therapist. Her therapist would cross-check the estimates so the AI image recognition didn't have to be 100% accurate - just "good enough" - so I built this app to take a photo and estimate it when storing it.

I am a 75-year-old producer. In 2004, I helped bring "Crimson Room" to the global web. After spending 11 years in Fukushima—including 6 years working inside the nuclear power plant—I witnessed firsthand how large organizations can discard individuals.
VPP (Virtual Protest Protocol) is my response to the debt-ridden, unequal society we are leaving to the next generation. It is a minimal, sprite-based protocol (MIT License) designed to create high-density, low-bandwidth civic spaces for digital dissent.
Key Technical Challenges & Specs:
Cell-based Scalability: To support 50,000+ concurrent avatars on low-spec hardware, I’m proposing a "50-person cell" architecture. I’d love a peer review on this clustering approach.
Tri-state Logic: Yes / No / Observe. We need to visualize the "silent majority" without fueling the polarization of social media.
Privacy by Design: Zero personal data collection. No tracking.
I’ve received positive feedback from the Open Technology Fund (OTF) and an official invitation from Mozilla’s Democracy x AI cohort.
I am looking for:
Technical feedback on the cell-clustering architecture.
Contributors for avatar assets (looking for diverse, symbolic sprites to represent individual voices).

Hi HN,
I’ve always found building complex forms tedious. Even in 2026, most "AI" form builders are just legacy drag-and-drop tools with a one-shot AI generator slapped on top. You describe a form, it gives you a draft, and then the AI session ends. You’re back to clicking dropdowns for conditional logic and dragging fields.
I wanted the "Cursor experience" for data collection.
So I built Formvana (https://formvana.live). It’s AI-native from the ground up.
The core difference: The chat interface is the product, not a sidebar feature.
Persistent Context: The model holds the entire state of the form. You don't just generate; you iterate. "Add a branching path if they select 'Enterprise'", "Change all email fields to required", or "Restructure the flow to be multi-step"—all through chat.
No Configuration Menus: No more hunting through nested settings to find how to hide a field.
Built in 1 week: Shipped the first version as a solo dev to see if others felt the same frustration.
Tech Stack: Node.js, React.
It's still early, and the logic can sometimes get tricky with very complex schemas, but I'd love to hear what the HN community thinks.
Live Demo: https://formvana.live
I'll be hanging out in the comments to answer any questions!
