Ask HN: How do I get Fable to acknowledge me?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49369947Im using Fable for a lot of work, and I found it to flatout ignore questions I ask it while it works. Sometimes I can find the answer by turning on the transcript view so I can observe its thinking process, but if I don't do that, it almost never answers. anybody else? it annoys me more than I can express and I don't want to read all its thinking all the time. any advice? (im using the claude-desktop app. man I can't wait to get rid of fable - I hate using it, but its really good :-|Aug 20, 2026 3:10 AM

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?

Show HN: Criboku – a daily logic puzzle based on cribbagehttps://criboku.com/I'm a longtime member of the American Cribbage Congress, and its chief programmer. I wanted to develop a daily puzzle page for cribbage nuts like myself, and so Criboku was born.Criboku is a daily cribbage-based logic puzzle. You have to fill in a grid from a given pool of cards to make cribbage hands. Each hand's score must match the values around the grid. Some cards and scores are given, you have to work out the rest.There's a new puzzle every day, and they get harder through the week. There's a help page that includes a primer on cribbage scoring. If you get stuck, there's a Hint feature that walks you through the logic needed to place each card.My favorite parts are the bits nobody sees. My generation method guarantees each puzzle has a unique solution, and can be solved just by deduction, no guessing and backtracking. Also, the answer never gets to the browser, because it's not needed. Thanks to the uniqueness guarantee, we know the solution has been reached by just checking the Aug 20, 2026 2:22 AM

Show HN: Mail client optimized for self-hosted email across multiple domainshttps://mainly.crnst8.com/As someone with a clean IP range and ADHD, I manage my inbox by splitting across a variety of accounts for a variety of domains. I’ve never really found a client that scratches all my itches, so I spent some time making one and it’s now become my daily driver.It’s optimised to be visually simple and highly configurable for things like colour, folders/subfolders, sorting and tweaking the search query function to better match what you search for often. There’s also some little nice-to-haves like a purpose-built PWA, bulk domain onboarding, MCP and dark mode.It’s fully self-hostable, open source and free of any AI bloat/VC fodder. Not trying to sell anything but rather make something un-shitified and simple to use, would love some feedback if you’ve given it a try! :~)Aug 20, 2026 1:55 AM

Show HN: Lutefish Stream (Play Music over Internet)https://lutefish.com/Hey all, Disclaimer: I work on embedded software for Lutefish.tldr: If you have good internet and you live within 500 miles of somebody (and ISPs are feeling benevolent that day) you can play music together over the internet (for real tho).I know you've probably seen "make music over the internet but for real this time" presented from a handful of places over the years. We designed a PCB from scratch to tightly couple the audio and networking layers as close as we possibly could, and we are able to get latency numbers as low as 28ms using custom protocol (which allows for seemingly real-time performance with bandmates over the internet).Before you ask, no, it is not an audio interface also (we're working on it). Think of it more like, "point-to-point sound cards with a lot of control over your mix".Don't really know how to do self promotion, but we have devices for sale for $250 usually (rando $200 flash sales sometimes) and there's a $10 / month subscription (2 months free w/ purchaseAug 20, 2026 1:36 AM

Show HN: Dispositio – a TUI project planner that stores plans as plain Markdownhttps://systemist.net/tools/dispositioHi all! Wanted to show you guys Dispositio, a project planning TUI that saves projects to simple markdown.I always have a ton of solo projects cooking, and in the past organized and planned them in increasingly complex `ROADMAP.md` files. After working with bubbletea on another project, and after constantly manually calculating its delivery dates for myself (as my bandwidth was quite limited at the time), I realized it would be cool to combine the two!The result is Dispositio, a tool which:- Tracks milestones, set estimated durations, rearrange and modify easily, and see the estimated timeline of the whole thing (measured in weeks for now; can add sprints or other metrics later if people want it) - Lets you set up tasks and subtasks right in it (added because I found it very handy to just keep my todos right here, one per project) - Handles overdue items etc - Helps you know how many days you get on average per milestone task in order to stay on task - Saves to plain markdown so you caAug 19, 2026 9:44 PM
