Show HN: I built a dev diary that writes itselfhttps://mydev.day/Hi HN, I'm Lucas. I mostly build XR things, but over the past month or so I've been developing a tool that became necessary for me: I'm usually working on many different things at once, and I needed a way to create reports and check what I worked on last year on a specific day.mydev.day is an automatic development diary that writes itself as you build. You connect your agent to it once per project (takes a couple of minutes), and from then on it automatically adds an entry per feature. After that you can query it via the API to ask anything about all your work across projects and accounts, or go to the app to print nice looking charts and reports.It started as an internal tool, but inspired by the indie hackers I follow, I decided to turn it into a product to see if it could be helpful for other builders and developers out there!Fun fact: it was really cool to dogfood it on itself as I built it!

Ask HN: What agentic directory structure do you use?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48540840The more I use Claude Code to generate large swaths of systems, the more I feel like we are missing a lot of practices and tools.The first bit that really annoyed me was the lack of tracking prompts. There are lot's of little inputs that inform the what the system should do and it seems to be very ephemeral. I've since started tracking the prompts in the codebase.Another observation is that if you want to have good agentic output, you need to provide lot's of signal into the context window. It seems that being disciplined about what goes into the context window is key. Using AI to generate input files can be dangerous because it adds entropy/noise to the human signal.One practice I have started to do is organize my projects in a certain way:- /specs - Pure human signal such as product vision, requirements, designs, etc. - /prompts - Agentic recipes such as skills, jobs, AI patterns. - /references - References that can be used in the context window (brand assets, documents, figma export

Show HN: Morning Stack finds real job openings, tweaks resume and cover letterhttps://morningstack.app/demo/Job hunting sucks. That grind of digging through LinkedIn and Indeed, sifting through endless spammy emails from headhunters who try to get the biggest possible audience, clicking "Quick Apply" to silent response, and trying to figure out which of all of these jobs are even real. My wife hit all of this when she started job hunting a few months ago, so I built her a tool to take the worst part of it off her plate. It turned into this. Oh, and she got an offer letter from a major company in just shy of two and a half weeks. Now, she loves her job.Morning Stack runs overnight. While my users sleep it works through the big job boards (and some niche ones), and then it tries to disprove every listing before it trusts one.Is the job even real? - It opens the posting in a real browser (Playwright) and checks. There's no API scraping and we don't login to anything. Then, we resolve back to the company's own ATS page so you can apply directly to them. If it can't find it, the job is dropped.Do

I built a bookkeeping app for UK sole traders as a new developer using AIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48527480About a month ago I started building QuarterPerfect — a bookkeeping tool aimed at UK sole traders and landlords, specifically designed around the MTD ITSA changes coming into effect this year (first quarterly deadline: 7 August).A bit of background on me firstly.I'm not a senior developer. My previous project was a small roster app that converted an XLSX shift rota into a calendar with annual leave support — mostly built for me and a few colleagues at work. Nothing with real users, nothing with payments or compliance requirements. QuarterPerfect is a significant step up from that.QuarterPerfect offers users bank statement import (CSV and PDF), transaction categorization with receipt matching, merchant rules for auto-categorizing recurring transactions, and a read-only accountant share link so clients can hand off clean records without chasing. It's web-first with a mobile app in testing.The technical side was challenging but learnable. The harder thing was building in a domain I have n

Story of How Im Running an Unlimited $6/Month AI Provider on 4x RTX 3090shttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48524387This submission is a tale about how I launched an unlimited LLM provider to about 60 hyped people on the waitlist, then immediately served them a fully dysfunctional death-loop model, and how most people, very reasonably, disappeared, but thanks to a few extremely nice people stuck around anyway, we kept the project alive and its still pretty chaotic but gaining traction.To back up a little bit-- I believe that the whole point of AI agents is that they should keep working. They should read files, retry, search, code, summarize, run tools, and loop until the job is done. When your employer is paying for it, who cares about cost, but when it comes to my personal money/hobbies, if every loop feels like a tiny financial event, you start babysitting the agent instead of using it, and its not fun.On the other hand, metered pricing makes me worry about using too much. Usage subscriptions make me feel like I need to use every last magical % or I'm are "wasting it". If only an unlimited provide

Ask HN: What happens when AI-voice becomes good enough?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48507696I fell into the rabbit hole of TTS models lately. Tried all major paid tools (ElevenLabs/InWorld/etc.), and all the newest open-source models.I started asking myself: what happens when the voice is "solved"? E.g. it gets impossible to distinguish it from a human. Wanted to hear your opinions!Sketched some of my own thoughts, and I see two futures:Future 1: the nuanced versionAudiobooks: I think established authors will still prefer human narrators. If you can afford a $3k–$4k fixed cost for narration, a good human voice is usually worth it. TTS may even push human narration prices down, making that choice easier.But for new/self-published authors, especially in non-fiction, AI narration may become the default. The choice is often not “AI vs. human narrator,” but “AI audiobook vs. no audiobook.” There will be backlash, but I think people will partly get used to it.The more interesting threat may be AI readers. If I can buy an ebook for $8–$10 and have it narrated in a voice/style I like

AI: Equalizer or Divider?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48484306There is a saying “God made men, but Samuel Colt made them equal.” AI sometimes can have similar effect. In one enterprise system I’ve seen, the gap between people using a tool 40 hours a week and those using it 2 hours a week nearly disappeared after AI agents were introduced. I have also seen the gap between a 10x developer and an average one shrink after everyone got generous Cursor subscriptions.At the same time, recent public reporting on Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and Mythos-class models suggests that the most capable systems may be rolled out through limited-access programs or premium channels rather than broadly and evenly.Throughout history, who could afford access to the best technology of the time often shaped who got to govern. In ancient Greece, hoplites were ordinary free citizens who funded their own gear, tying military service to civic participation. Similarly, colonial American militias embedded armed service into everyday community life. By contrast, the prohibitive

Show HN: Meadow Notes – extract and publish microsites from your Markdown graphshttps://meadow-notes.comSometimes I wonder if my life would be better if I'd never bumped into Andy Matuschak's ideas. But I did, and basically got one-shotted by his concept of "evergreen notes", which are notes that are similar to well-factored code. They're small, conceptual, and densely-linked.They're also really hard to share with people, because those links form a complex graph that goes all over the place. You could share individual notes, but since the notes are small and have a lot of links there's not a lot of utility in sharing single notes. You could share all of them, but who in their right mind would want to share _all_ their notes.I found myself wanting to share little groups of notes with different sets of people reasonably often. None of the existing publishing tools I encountered supported automatic curation where it would suggest a candidate graph that I could then modify. Also, none were geared towards publishing lots of little sites.I've spent about a year part-time developing the project

Show HN: Vocast – Turn articles into self-hosted podcast feeds using local TTShttps://github.com/cnrmurphy/vocastHi all,I wanted a way to listen to articles in my reading queue while out for a walk or just generally away from the computer. There are apps that can do this already, but I didn't want to pay for one and I thought it seemed simple enough to build myself. So, I built Vocast - a cli tool using local TTS to convert articles to audio and expose them as a podcast RSS feed. You can subscribe using your existing podcast app (Apple Podcasts has worked well for me).Currently it uses Kokoro for TTS which I chose because it seems to be a good compromise between quality and speed. Generated audio files are stored in a local library and the cli provides commands to add, list, and delete those files. I use Tailscale to expose the local web server to my mobile device. I've provided instructions on how to do so in the README.So far it's worked well for turning articles into something I can listen to while away from the desk so I'm pretty happy with the result. There are still cases where article form

Show HN: Typol – Static typing layer for Polarshttps://github.com/pdtpartners/typolHello! Wanted to share Typol, a thin static typing layer around Polars that lets you enforce columnar schemas. We've been hesitant in the past to go with dataframes for processing reporting data, especially with Pandas, due to the long-term maintainability burden of tooling not understanding the data we're processing, or the library itself. Polars is well typed and encourages constructing shapes up rather than modifying in-place, so adding schema typing to it seemed like a natural extension. If Polars DataFrames are dicts, then Typol's are TypedDicts.With Typol, it's easy to define your schemas, which should feel familiar if you're moving from dataclass-style code or from Polars' own schemas, and then build well-typed Polars expressions on these that enforce: (1) valid columns are referenced, (2) column values are used in a valid way for their type, and (3) expressions generate target valid columns in resulting schemas with the correct type. class Account(tp.Shape): name = tp.dimension

Show HN: Honest Privacy Policies – We Read the Fine Print So You Don't Have Tohttps://honestprivacypolicies.org/Hi HN, I’m AseemLast month, during my commencement for a Master's in Privacy Engineering at CMU, my friends and I were joking about the absurd volume of unreadable privacy policies we’d spent semesters dissecting. What started as a graduation joke stuck with me, and over the last few weeks, it transformed into this actual project.I’m personally very privacy-conscious—I self-host my NAS, run Immich for my photos, and try to self-host where I can. But completely decoupling from third-party services is nearly impossible. Even with a technical background in privacy and security, figuring out what a SaaS tool actually does with your data telemetry means wading through buried boilerplate that no one has time to read.I built HonestPrivacyPolicies.org to turn that text into structured, actionable insights.Would love your feedback.

Show HN: Odeva Booking – A unified PMS for holiday parks and campgroundshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48376362Hey HN,I'm a solo developer based in Zeeland, The Netherlands. I've been building Odeva, a property management system for holiday parks, vacation rentals, and campgrounds. It's a headless-first tool that's built specifically for the small-to-mid independent operators that legacy PMS vendors ignore. Still deciding on open-sourcing the project.The problem: Most park management software was built 10+ years ago, designed for enterprise procurement, not for the receptionist or park manager who might not need all the bells and whistles. A 50-unit holiday park ends up paying €15K-70K/year across their PMS, channel manager, payment processing, owner portal, guest app, accounting integrations, and the manual labor of making it all work together. Small parks just eat the cost or cobble together spreadsheets. The result is that no PMS wants to help the little guys, and you end up with a package that is too expensive for them.What I've built so far (alpha since May 2026, in production with early u
