Show HN: JavaScript library that makes any list a smooth picker of any shapehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49377550Hey HN! I built this solo.You can check it out here: https://loopem.tahazsh.com/This idea had been lingering in my head for a long time. I kept thinking about the best way to turn the idea of a picker into a math problem, where I could describe the layout I want and it would just work.By pickers, I mean something like what `` does in HTML, but with more visual items, whether they are images, icons, colors, or anything that would enhance the user experience.For example, say you have an e-commerce app that shows different color options for a product. Instead of listing blue, red, and so on, you can show the actual colors, and users can drag or flick through them.To prove it works, and to give you usable options out of the box, I added built-in layouts: line, arc, wheel, cover flow, fan, and stack.I also made sure it stays smooth with any number of items. It's still fast because I virtualized the list, so it only renders what's on screen.Accessibility is on by default too. Arrow keys, Hom

Show HN: AI-Native Accelerator that helps builders make something people wanthttps://foundera.app/Most people are not validating their ideas before start building it! I am a 5th time tech founder, gaming included and I built & managed startup accelerator programs. I know lot of things about early stage founders and their pains as I have been there. That is why I am building Foundera. It’s an AI-Native Accelerator for tech builders. Today the problem is; most of the AI coding tools opens with a chat and asking “type your idea and start building”. This is wrong! I want to reduce the time and money spent on ideas that nobody asked for. Try it at https://foundera.app and give me your feedback so that I can help more people.

Ask HN: How to engage users in an open source project and when to stop?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49377336I have been working on an OS project for years now, on and off, taking it back up for the last few months and giving it a good boost lately with AI. It has a super niche user base in quantitative finance.I really enjoy working on it, and although I get contacted every now and then by people who are using it or are interested in using it, and those are really interesting users, I always think I am wasting my time. It has been 8 years now since I started.I guess my questions are: is it worth it? And I know this question has two clear paths, the personal and the practical one, but I would like to hear from both. How can I know when to stop? If my audience is maybe in the order of two thousand potential users worldwide, how do I validate the idea? I have posted on Reddit and HN multiple times, tried LinkedIn, and that leads me to a handful of super interesting contacts, but I don't know if it is enough to keep going.

Show HN: Excuse My French – an Open Source French-learning apphttps://excusemyfrench.org/hi HN! Many years ago (in 2018) I wrote a simple French-learning exercise generator in Javascript for my wife. I was looking for a way to generate as many exercises as possible for her to practice. The idea was being able to generate a huge combination of sentences and being able to transform them deterministically based on French grammar rules. The generation and transformation is rule-based (no LLMs back then).For example, we generate (using rule-based) :> Je mange une pommethen we ask the engine to transform it to past and replace the pronoun:> Je l'ai mangéeThen we compare with the user's answer.I recently picked the project back up, thanks to AI coding tools and some free time I improved the UI, added more conventional bits (flashcards, dictation, progress tracking, etc). I kept the core of it: the rule-based sentence generator, because it allows to generate extremely fast locally and in a controlled way.I pushed this new version on the same repository : https://github.com/Celebio

Show HN: Bisecto – A minimalist game about cutting shapes into 50/50 halveshttps://bisecto.com/Hey HN,I built Bisecto (https://bisecto.com), a minimalist browser game with one simple mechanic, cutting (bisecting) a procedural 2D shape into two exact 50/50 halves with a single straight line.Confession: I got completely hooked watching those viral reels of people trying to cut fruits and vegetables into perfectly equal halves, and that was my inspiration for this game :D I've been writing code for 12+ years, but for this project I leaned heavily on LLMs to quickly spin up this game, I thought it's going to be quick, but it took me some time (around 2 weeks) to make the game the way I want it to be.A few game modes to try: - Classic: Endless run, you get to choose difficulty and line cutting mode- Arcade mode: You get 3 lives, you have to keep accuracy above 95%.- Daily challenge: A shared daily seed, 10 identical shapes for everyone, see how you rank.- Friends challenges: Create a challenge and send it to your friends and see who is better at cutting shapes in half.Under the hood:

Show HN: LilScript makes JavaScript libraries smallerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49374554https://yeargun.github.io/lilscript/LilScript is a typed, compression-first language that compiles into js and sometimes into exec(will be more stable in future).

Show HN: I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-devicehttps://simedw.com/2026/08/20/midi-autocomplete/I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15).The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device.The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Does anyone find AI code review useful?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49369710I’m genuinely trying to understand the point of AI code review.Once an LLM generated change gets into a few hundreds or thousands of lines, a human reviewer can barely read the whole thing in any meaningful way. And even if they can, why should they spend their time reviewing thousands of lines generated by someone else’s AI?If the code is going to be reviewed by another AI anyway, why doesn’t the developer opening the PR just run one more iteration before submitting it?Is the assumption that after a thorough implementation pass, having a different AI review the code “some time later” will catch things the original AI somehow missed?Or is the assumption that my precious "Code Review AI" has some superior prompt and sacred collection of skills that makes it meaningfully different from the AI the developer used to write the code?If that’s the case, why not just give developers that reviewer AI locally and have them iterate against it before opening the PR?What’s the point?
