Show HN: First background agents in Jetbrains IDEs [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuF2ajuxCOwTLDR: made the first background coding agent that has an isolated workspace and runs locallyHowdy - I’m Kevin, co-founder of Firebender, and we built the first background coding agent in android studio / Jetbrains!Why not just use Cursor background agents or OpenAI Codex?Both of these require setting up a cloud container and cloning your existing developer environment, and maintaining it. Then when you want to iterate on changes as AI inevitably makes a mistake, you either throw away the work, or have to pull down the branch and clean it up. This feels really clunky. With Firebender, background agents run locally in a lightweight git worktree/IDE tab. This means when the agent is done, you can easily clean up the changes and run code with a few clicks.Under the hood, the agent behaves similarly to claude code (didn’t want to reinvent the wheel), but also leverages all of the hooks into IntelliJ sdk like go-to-definition, find usages, auto-imports for accuracy, and it gives a cleaner viAug 26, 2025 4:50 PM

Show HN: An API for human-powered browser taskshttps://browser-work.com/At APM Help, we have a large team that performs repetitive, browser-based tasks. Years ago, to manage this work securely and get a clear audit trail, we built an internal platform we call "Hub." It's essentially a locked-down environment where our team works that records their sessions, tracks every interaction, and prevents data from being copied or shared. It's been our internal source of truth for years.More recently, like many companies, we've been building more automation. And like everyone else, we've seen our automations fail on edge cases—a weirdly formatted invoice our parser can't read, a website layout change that breaks a scraper, etc. Our team would have to manually step in to fix these.We realized other developers must have this exact same problem, but without a 250-person team on standby. So we connected our old, battle-tested Hub to a new, modern front door: a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) API. We're calling it browser-work.com.The idea is simple: when you hit a task that neJul 21, 2025 4:16 PM

For the first time, astronomers have probed the physical environment of repeating X-ray outbursts near monster black holes thanks to data from NASA’s NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer) and other missions. Scientists have only recently encountered this class of X-ray flares, called QPEs, or quasi-periodic eruptions. […]May 6, 2025 3:14 PM

Fact-Checking Lottie Comparisons in Rive vs. Lottiehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43577809I happened to come across the following page recently: https://rive.app/blog/rive-as-a-lottie-alternative I found it interesting that Rive officially compared itself to Lottie based on fairly recent information. However, I was quite surprised by the many vague or inaccurate statements made about Lottie. As a developer familiar with Lottie, I'd like to offer a different perspective on a few key points.1. ResponsivenessThe claim that Lottie "regenerate animations" to scale for different screen sizes is puzzling. In most GUI environments, responsiveness is handled by standard layout and scrolling systems. Since Lottie animations are vector-based, they naturally scale according to their aspect ratio within the assigned layout. There is no need to regenerate the animation—rendering scalable vector graphics in real time is already built into the design.2. Dynamic Data IntegrationIt’s inaccurate to describe Lottie as strictly static. Event Lottie supports scripting and allows runtime updates Apr 4, 2025 2:44 AM
