Show HN: macOS data protection keychain for Electron appshttps://github.com/biw/keychain-storeHey HN,I've been working on Hansel [1] (an encrypted personal data store you can query with agents), and there wasn't a good way to use the modern macOS Data Protection Keychain.Electron's safeStorage [2] uses the legacy file-based keychain, which allows other apps/agents to query it with the `security` CLI. Not great when you have a dozen agents running in the background! The Data Protection Keychain is nice because it limits access via code-signing access groups and lets you set access rules like Touch ID and/or password.1: https://hansel.so/2. https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/safe-storageAug 18, 2026 5:25 PM

Show HN: CSS-in-JS Arena Bamboo, StyleX and Panda on Pixel-Identical Appshttps://github.com/gajus/css-in-js-arenaA little context, I've been working on Contra for the last 6 years. It's a marketplace-network – an application that's comparable to the likes of LinkedIn, UpWork, and similar in terms of its surface area. That's hundreds of routes, thousands of components, and tens of thousands of styles.Over the last year, we have been obsessed with performance. We have optimized every layer of our infrastructure to the point where profiling the application increasingly started to surface bottlenecks in client-side (bundle size, and metrics like TBT, LCP, and INP). That's where CSS-in-JS comes in.6 years ago, we started with styled-components. Then zero-runtime alternatives emerged and we started to experiment with them, eventually landing on Panda CSS. Panda took us a long way, but... they aren't _actually_ zero-runtime. Panda extracts CSS at build time, but it uses ~15KB runtime to map those style objects at runtime. This overhead surfaced repeatedly when profiling pages with lots of components (seAug 18, 2026 2:21 PM
