Show HN: Remarc – provide more contextual and structured feedback to AI agentshttps://github.com/metedata/RemarcLike any side project, Remarc started with my own problem: there was no good way to give AI coding agents contextual feedback on their own output.There are plenty of tools for collaborating with humans, but surprisingly few for collaborating with AI. Chat was not cutting it for the feedback I wanted to give:This thing in the implementation plan? Change it to that. What did you mean here? See this button? Here is a screenshot. I circled it because it is missing a hover state. This sentence in the third paragraph? Rephrase it.If you are an opinionated builder, this gets clunky quickly. You either dictate paragraphs of messy feedback or resolve every detail one by one. AI is good at parsing mess, but garbage in, garbage out still applies.I could get products to 90% quickly. The last 10% of feedback and polish was the bottleneck. So I built Remarc.Remarc lets you select text in any Mac app, capture and annotate a screenshot, or comment on a web element. Each comment keeps its original contAug 16, 2026 9:14 PM

EDITORIAL: How to minimize sports injury risk? Put the focus on funhttps://sports.yahoo.com/articles/editorial-minimize-sports-injury-risk-171900332.htmlAug. 15—Title IX, the landmark 1972 civil rights law, opened a lot of doors for female athletes — but it didn't change human biology. As a general rule, the average male still is taller and stronger than the average female. Males have wider shoulders and narrower hips. Males jump higher and run faster. In the boxing ring, they hit harder. In the swimming pool, they go faster. And the female ...Aug 15, 2026 5:19 PM

This is HOW I DO IT.1) Whiteboard. Sit your ass down, put some music on you find inspirational and imagine what you want your users to feel. What type of an "ambiance" this site should have? Energetic, calming, playful, serious? Pick 1 or 2 as your primary emotional anchors.2) Principles. You need to have these engrained in your bones. Less is more. If you try to do everything you do nothing. Design is an exercise in ruthless elimination. Read on design to build your internal mental heuristics library.3) Mental Image. Once you have a feel and direction decided (can change, but clarity is important) (For example, while I was building my cuAug 13, 2026 3:25 PM
