Show HN: Trunchbull, run real models against any benchmark in your browserhttps://trunchbull.devHi HN,Today I'm showcasing Trunchbull, a benchmarking platform designed for authoring benchmarks and running them against different models. We have direct support for benchmarks that use the harbor authoring system, custom tool authoring via the vercel ai sdk and configuration limits.We've also already imported terminalbench 2.0, as a sort of proof of concept that our harbor task orchestrator works, although you currently need a paid account as we are provisioning sandbox environments.I've made several popular benchmarks publicly available for testing. You dont need an account or your credit card information to access these:[Public benchmark demos](https://trunchbull.dev/sandboxes)[GSM8K math reasoning](https://trunchbull.dev/try/gsm8k)[SkateBench](https://trunchbull.dev/try/skatebench)[ARC-Challenge](https://trunchbull.dev/try/arc-challenge)[TruthfulQA](https://trunchbull.dev/try/truthfulqa-mc1)[Medical AI Failure Atlas](https://trunchbull.dev/try/medical-ai-failure-atlas)These demos Aug 12, 2026 3:14 PM

Show HN: Travel Hacking Toolkit – Points search and trip planning with AIhttps://github.com/borski/travel-hacking-toolkitI use points and miles for most of my travel. Every booking comes down to the same decision: use points or pay cash? To answer that, you need award availability across multiple programs, cash prices, your current balances, transfer partner ratios, and the math to compare them. I got tired of doing it manually across a dozen tabs.This toolkit teaches Claude Code and OpenCode how to do it. 7 skills (markdown files with API docs and curl examples) and 6 MCP servers (real-time tools the AI calls directly).It searches award flights across 25+ mileage programs (Seats.aero), compares cash prices (Google Flights, Skiplagged, Kiwi.com, Duffel), pulls your loyalty balances (AwardWallet), searches hotels (Trivago, LiteAPI, Airbnb, Booking.com), finds ferry routes across 33 countries, and looks up weird hidden gems near your destination (Atlas Obscura).Reference data is included: transfer partner ratios for Chase UR, Amex MR, Bilt, Capital One, and Citi TY.

Hubble unexpectedly catches comet breaking uphttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Hubble_unexpectedly_catches_comet_breaking_upComet K1, whose full name is Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), had just passed its closest approach to the Sun and was heading out of the Solar System. Though it had been intact just days before, K1 fragmented into at least four pieces while the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was watching. The odds of that happening while Hubble viewed the comet are extraordinarily miniscule.Mar 18, 2026 2:00 PM

Show HN: Emdash – Open-source agentic development environmenthttps://github.com/generalaction/emdashHey HN! We’re Arne and Raban, the founders of Emdash (https://github.com/generalaction/emdash).Emdash is an open-source and provider-agnostic desktop app that lets you run multiple coding agents in parallel, each isolated in its own git worktree, either locally or over SSH on a remote machine. We call it an Agentic Development Environment (ADE).You can see a 1 minute demo here: https://youtu.be/X31nK-zlzKoWe are building Emdash for ourselves. While working on a cap-table management application (think Stripe Atlas + Pulley), we found our development workflow to be messy: lots of terminals, lots of branches, and too much time spent waiting on Codex.Emdash puts the terminal at the center and makes it easy to run multiple agents at once. Each agent runs as a task in its own git worktree. You can start one or a few agents on the same problem, test, and review.Emdash works over SSH so you can run agents where your code lives and keep the parallel workflow. You can assign tickets to agents, eFeb 24, 2026 6:00 PM

Seedance 2.0 API launch postponed due to copyright threats from Disney/Warnerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47090096Hearing the Seedance 2.0 API timeline is slipping: docs that were supposed to land Feb 22 and the API on Feb 24 are now delayed.The stated reason is adding pre-release safeguards before public API access, after deepfake/copyright controversy around “real person reference” + low-effort prompts producing high-fidelity actor/celebrity lookalikes.What they’re reportedly planning to ship before opening up includes:stricter content filtering rules explicitly blocking unlicensed real-person likeness video generation compliance monitoring mechanisms (so commercialization doesn’t outpace legal/ethical boundaries) No new ETA yet.Source: Atlas Cloud (they’ve been in ongoing comms with the ByteDance team and have an API integration partnership in place). They also reached out to ByteDance to confirm the delay.Feb 20, 2026 4:25 PM

Show HN: Apex Agent – Connect the Browser to AI via MCPhttps://github.com/RTBRuhan/ApexAgentHey HN,I’m a developer and 3D artist, and I wanted my AI (specifically Cursor and Claude Desktop) to have "hands and eyes" in my actual browser while I work.I tried the official Chrome DevTools MCP, but it felt overkill for my workflow. It requires setting up remote debugging ports and is heavily geared toward performance profiling and deep-dive engineering. I just wanted something "generalized"—like ChatGPT Atlas or Comet—but for my own dev environment.So, I built Apex Agent.It’s a lightweight Chrome extension + a tiny Node.js bridge that lets any MCP-compatible AI control your browser session.Why I built this vs. using the official MCP: Human-Centric Tools: While the official tool is for debugging, Apex is built for interaction. It has 69+ tools for clicking, typing, scrolling, and taking full-page screenshots. No Remote Debugging Mess: You don’t need to restart Chrome with special flags or mess with debugging ports. Just connect the extension and go. Control Your Active Session: It Jan 18, 2026 10:54 AM

We got a $60k tax penalty for a zero-revenue side projecthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45875749In 2020, in the middle of COVID, a few friends and I decided that obviously the world needed another presentation tool.Our pain point was simple: we hated fighting with PowerPoint/Google Slides. We just wanted to write content and get nice slides without babysitting fonts, sizes, alignment, colors, and 19 different "Title + Subtitle" layouts that all somehow looked bad.So we built a prototype: a tiny click-together slide builder. Then we decided clicking was too slow and turned it into a full markdown-to-slides thing. Write markdown in, pretty slides out. Easy.Then, like every good side project, we started bolting on features: Image uploads, PDF generation via API, AI integration and more and more stuff nobody had actually asked for....Somewhere in there, in peak "we're definitely the next unicorn" mode, we incorporated a US company through Stripe Atlas. To feel extra serious, we issued ourselves 10,000,000 shares. Because that's what real startups do, right?Then we went back to happilNov 10, 2025 1:25 PM

Founding Delaware C-Corp as a Minorhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45714043I founded my software startup earlier this year as an LLC, not knowing that Delaware C Corp is the preferred structure for startups. I am now looking into having one of my parents create it and sign everything through Stripe Atlas, but it seems the most complicated part will be how to relate myself to the company and give myself shares without making the ownership structure too complex and scare off VCs. If anyone has experience with a situation like this, or knows someone that could provide some guidance, it would be much appreciated.Oct 26, 2025 6:20 PM
