Iran Sanctions Could Put China Oil Trade in Focushttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2026-08-15/iran-sanctions-could-put-china-oil-trade-in-focus-videoThe Trump administration is considering additional sanctions on Iran as the Strait of Hormuz blockade squeezes oil flows and keeps pressure on US gasoline prices. Joining Bloomberg This Weekend is Axios Business Reporter Nathan Bomey who says Washington could target companies or countries doing business with Iran, potentially putting China and its purchases of Iranian oil in the spotlight.

Show HN: Homelander – free desktop app that applies for apartments in Germanyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udNWQz3WNBII built Homelander because searching for apartments in Germany was taking too much time.It collects listings from multiple searches on ImmoScout24 and applies for you. I decided to build it because alternatives were either too techy or too expensive (like 100 euros per months).I originally built it for myself, then released it as a free and open-source desktop app. The first release got much more attention than I expected, and the project is now at 92 GitHub stars.It currently supports Mac, Windows and Ubuntu Linux.GitHub: https://github.com/B1Z0N/homelanderI'd be interested in feedback, especially on the UX side and on what would make it more useful for apartment hunters.Disclosure: as you can see I used AI to make it faster, and for UI, since I am bad at it. But I spent a shitton of time on UX.PS: I heard some people found apartments using this app, but I must warn - this is a portfolio project and goes against the usage guidelines of IS24.Aug 15, 2026 8:10 AM

Show HN: Riffn. An instant voice link with your AI agents and local modelshttps://riffn.io/how-riffn-works/I get my best ideas when I'm out walking or driving. I built Riffn to make sure I can capitalize on those ideas when and where they happen - while I'm away from my desk, usually outside. I used to use voice recording a lot. So I built Riffn to replace that with a direct voice link to any model or agent I wanted to talk to when my hands and eyes were busy. This lets me develop ideas and keep pushing forward on my apps and other projects when I'm out and about.Riffn is an iOS app that gives you a voice link to your coding agents or locally-installed LLMs. I built a small, open-source bridge that links Riffn to agents and models running on your own machine over Tailscale. Installing the bridge is just one npx command and QR pairing. Give each agent a name, then switch freely between agents with a 3-word command. Click 'Start Riffn', pop in an earbud, lock the phone, put it in your pocket, and start talking. I like to use it for slow thinking - you can leave it active in the background, reAug 15, 2026 6:05 AM
