Show HN: Imagerry – client-side image customizer and converter (WASM / WebGPU)https://imagerry.com/Hi HN! I built Imagerry (https://imagerry.com), a freemium, 100% client-side image converter and utility suite.### What it does till today:- 100% Client-Side: Zero file uploads, all processing happens locally using HTML5 Canvas & WebAssembly, though gpu is heavy on desktop apps. - Format Conversions & Resizing: PNG, WebP, AVIF, JPEG, SVG with high-quality Lanczos scaling (`pica`). - Utility Tools: Code Snippet Beautifier, App Icon Studio, Social OG Card Generator, and Passport Photo Arranger. - Cross-platform: Available as a PWA and desktop app (Electron).### Some Suggestions and tradeoff's for adding ?? :)I’m considering adding *local AI models* (such as in-browser AI image upscalers or background removers using ONNX Runtime Web / WebGPU) - by desktop apps preferable only.Since Imagerry focuses on privacy and zero cloud uploads, running models locally in the browser feels like a natural fit, but it comes with a *20MB–50MB initial model or even more depending on local model's download

Show HN: An MCP server that turns async-work practices into toolshttps://github.com/open-and-async/mcpMore than a decade ago, I adopted the self-imposed rule, if I answer a question more than once, the third time I need to be able to answer with a URL. Today, I published one very large URL - a book distilling what I learned from helping people work remotely at GitHub, and I wanted to rethink my rule for the age of AI.What if, instead of a URL, I could create an interactive experience that could tailor the guidance to your particular situation?What I ended up building was an Open and Async Advisor MCP server. To install (in claude or any other AI):> claude mcp add open-async -- npx -y @open-and-async/mcpTransparently, yes, it's from a book I wrote which launched today, but the MCP server is open source and free to use. No purchase required. It knows the key principles of the book, and has specialized tools like `draft_decision_doc`, `convert_meeting_to_async`, `score_status_update`, `triage_sync_vs_async`.This is an experiment for me, and I'm genuinely curious if it's helpful for others

Show HN: Running server scripts from smartphone via SSHhttps://c100k.eu/p/rebootx/updates/20260714-remote-runbooksI've added Remote Runbooks to RebootX, a mobile app for managing cloud and on-prem infrastructure, available on iOS and Android (freemium).The idea is simple: when PagerDuty wakes you up, many incidents boil down to executing the same sequence of SSH commands or operational steps. Instead of opening a laptop, you can execute a predefined runbook directly from your phone.Very usefyl when you're on the go.The scripts are retrieved from the server at `/usr/local/sbin/rebootx/runbooks`, also via SSH. If a script is prefixed with `__` (2 underscores), it's considered dangerous and the app warns you about it and ask for confirmation before executing it.Some will argue that with the perfect infra, you don't have to do all of this. By experience, none of us have the perfect infra so SSH-ing into the server (e.g VPS) is often required.Happy to hear about your feedback or ideas of improvement.

Show HN: 9lives – Self-healing test runner that refuses to mask real bugshttps://github.com/Quality-Max/9livesI built 9lives because coding agents kept breaking my Playwright tests in the dumbest way: rename a button, the test goes red, and the agent — or I — rewrites a perfectly good test.9l heal login.spec.ts runs the test, classifies the failure, and heals it in tiers:Tier 1 is offline and deterministic. When a selector stops matching, 9lives re-finds the element in the page snapshot Playwright captures at failure (data-testid > id > aria-label > text > class — the most stable surviving anchor wins) and rewrites the locator. No LLM, no network, no account. Most selector drift heals in seconds, for free. Unlike Healenium-style tools, it needs no baseline DOM from previous green runs — it works from the failure itself.Tier 2 uses the subscription you already pay for. For structural changes it shells out to your installed claude / codex / opencode CLI in headless mode, so the fix rides your existing coding-agent plan. No new API key to mint. (Raw ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY work too.)Ev

Show HN: Sipp – Run small local LLMs in browser 3x fasterhttps://www.sipp.shHi HN! Sipp is an open-source AI inference library for running local models in browsers with up to 3x faster decode speeds than alternative libraries.My background is in HCI (human-computer interaction) and graphics programming. Me along with my co-founder have been experimenting and thinking a lot about what the next user experience will look like when tokens are commodified to the point of being essentially “free.” A motivation for us was to try to move beyond the chat app and information retrieval use cases that are dominant now, and figure out how AI could instead act as a continuous and silent hand that helps the user indirectly, subtly monitoring their intent and dynamically generating or shifting the UI to meet their needs.In our explorations, we ran into two pain points: 1) when running AI in the browser, performance wasn’t good enough for real-time applications, and model loading and caching were issues; 2) when trying to run locally on desktop, there weren’t any good solution

Ask HN: How do you cope when your startup contracts?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48453224The same general situation has happened to me twice now and I am wondering if it’s something I can break free from or if it’s just the nature of the Startup beast - or what. There seems to be some kind of bubble that starts drying up investment in a startup where I am a technical lead. Both times, things seem to be going well and then 2 years in there are rounds of layoffs due to factors outside my/product’s control where the result is the same. I end up as the last tech generalist. It falls to me to write as much of the code as I can, manage (if any are left) engineers in my department, running support basically on my own, owning a large part of the product roadmap, working with the customers on support and implementations, working with integration partners, plus a slowly expanding list of responsibilities as new stuff falls on reduced teams. I pick up new domains pretty quick (finance, insurance, compliance), switch contexts well. I’ve always been the person who just figures it out -

Show HN: I brought back Airbnb categorieshttps://www.vibebnb.fyi/I miss airbnb categories. It was fun and I loved being able to just browse thorugh cool listings. I'm not exactly sure why they removed it. Then, a couple weeks ago, they hit me with some A/B test and I had access to a "what" freeform textbox to custom filter results. Now apparently they removed that too.At this point, I wasn't happy - so I decided to look into how to bring it back. I noticed they still use some of the categories pages for SEO. For example: https://www.airbnb.com/united-states/stays/ski-in-ski-outThat gave me hope - those filters still existed somewhere. Turns out they were only removed from the UI and the search backend still supports all of them.So after a bit of googling, I figured out how it works. Airbnb's search runs on a GraphQL endpoint you can hit anonymously, and the categories map to params on the search URL that I recovered and verified one by one:- Property types: property_type_id[]= (Chalet=22, Cabin=4, Treehouse=6, Castle=5), still filtering even though

Show HN: ClassKeep – Booking, credits, and smart waitlists for boutique studioshttps://www.classkeep.appHi HN — I built ClassKeep.The trigger: every small studio owner I know (pilates, yoga, pottery, even a dog trainer) runs the operational side of their business on WhatsApp + a Google Sheet, or on one of the expensive incumbents (Mindbody/Glofox) they actively dislike. The single biggest leak is last-minute cancellations: someone bails at 6am and the seat just goes empty, because there's no fast way to notify a waitlist.ClassKeep tries to remove that end-to-end:- Public booking page on a free *.classkeep.app slug (custom domain optional), with a drag-and-drop page builder so it doesn't look like a generic SaaS template. - Credits, drop-ins, and recurring subscription plans, all via Stripe Connect — the studio gets paid directly, I never touch the money. - A waitlist that auto-notifies via email + web push + SMS the instant a seat opens; first tap wins. This is the part most studios told me they'd pay for on its own. - 1-tap tablet check-in for instructors so they're not fumbling with a
