Show HN: Quiet Sky, a weather app built for privacyHi, all.I wanted to share an app and privacy proxy I made. I'd appreciate your feedback and thoughts.I've been frustrated for years by the fact that weather apps use our information to track us in real time. I searched high and low for a weather app that promised privacy. I was surprised I couldn't find one. Even apps with good privacy policies make no guarantees about how the provider will use your information. I decided this would be a good time to make an beautiful weather app that delivered on the privacy commitment cleanly.Many of you probably know weather apps are one of the silent ways your location gets sold. The NY Times did a piece on this a few years ago. Most of the apps take your location for a forecast, then pass your that plus your IP and device ID to either directly to ad networks and data brokers, or to providers who then do the same. There are some good apps and providers, but it is difficult to tell. I wanted a weather app that couldn't leak who you are, and I though

Show HN: Manob: A social media plaform without algorithm, ads, or data-trackingI built Manob because I kept running into the same frustration with every major social media platform. A feed I couldn't control, content that I couldn't trust, and also a sense that I (my user data) am the product, not the user.I talked with people about these thoughts and concerns, and added my personal observation. I built this instead:- Chronological feed only. No ranking, no algorithmic shuffling. You follow people, you see all posts from all users, or choose to see posts from friends, pages you follow, and groups you are part of.- Built-in fact-checking and bias detection across text, images, and video. With Human-in-the-loop & AI combined in the process, AI detects, analyzes, and moderates posts, and every contested moderation decision is reviewed by a human against a published set of principles (not just personal judgment only).- Per chat AES-256 encryption. We designed a way that currently, if a chat is attacked and compromised, it doesn't have any effect on other chats or the

Show HN: Korveo – a local firewall for AI agentsI got really tired of giving artificial intelligence agents access to tools. Then I had no idea what they were actually doing.So I created Korveo.Korveo runs on your computer between your agent and its tools.Here is what Korveo does:1. Korveo records every single tool and application programming interface call that the agent makes2. Korveo lets you replay the sessions like a recording of a flight3. Korveo blocks behavior right away like when the agent tries to leak data or connect to a bad host or when it tries to mix up information from different sessionsAll of Korveos work happens on your computer. There is no cloud involved. You do not need to make an account. Everything that Korveo does stays on your machine.Korveo is still a thing so there are some issues.For example:1. The language that Korveo uses to make rules is not good2. Korveo does not work well with all frameworks3. Korveo is not a space to test an agent that has been fully compromisedBut even with these issues Korveo is a
