Show HN: I was wrong about scrollytelling landing pageshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49185678My position for years: minimal static landing page, one clear offer, optimised for conversion. Everything else is designers entertaining themselves. Then the “built this 3D scrolling page with Fable in 5 minutes” posts started going around and my customers began asking for that. I pushed back, lost the argument, and built a few.Two things surprised me.First, the viral demos don’t survive contact with a client. I tested so many circulating prompt/skill setups. One-shot output looks great; changing anything afterwards is brutal... The demos are impressive because nobody in the thread ever has to revise them.Second, and worse for me: dwell time and conversion on the pages I built came out ahead of the minimal pages I’d have argued for. Small sample, and I’d like someone to tell me why it’s noise.So I built the thing that fixes the first problem: prebuilt interactive widgets that stay editable instead of a generated blob you re-prompt. https://scrollytelling.ai my own landing page is now bAug 5, 2026 5:05 PM

Show HN: ExANS – Lossless KV cache compression at 622 GB/s on H100https://www.theopenlake.com/blog/exans-lossless-gpu-compression-for-bf16-kv-cacheHi HN,We are the developers of OpenLake, an open source storage engine for KV cache offloading to remote disk and memory.Once we offloaded to local disk, we realized the bottleneck is the PCIe or NIC bandwidth. We wondered whether on GPU lossless compression is viable for fast reads and lower TTFT.BF16 is usually very hard to compress, (high entropy of sign/mantissa). What surprised us is that real world KV blocks are very different. The exponent byte has a very low entropy and barely populated. Instead of compressing the whole tensor, we compress only the exponent stream on the GPU.We see the following results: (H100, production KV snapshot):- 1.51× lossless compression - 622 GB/s median GPU decodeDecompression is ~10× faster than a 400 Gb/s NIC bandwidth delivering data losslessly without quality change.We've are open sourcing this as: ExANS which will be available through our vLLM and SGLang connectors on OpenLake v0.8 version. No changes are required in the inference engine.I'm curAug 5, 2026 4:59 PM

Show HN: Webklip – ephemeral online clipboard with live sync and E2E encryptionhttps://webklip.com/I've build an online clipboard on sterorids.Or rather, a shareable temporary workspace where I can paste text and files, setup an expire timer, or configure read&burn. For really private stuff use the E2E encryption, which encrypts the text in the browser before persisting in the DB (files don't get encrypted). It also exposes an API that one can use to integrate it in automatic workflows.Too often I've found myself using WhatsApp or Slack as a makeshift clipboard to share bits of data with myself (or colleagues): configs, notes, passwords, sometimes files. It's a quick & dirty solution and it does the job but over time my chats become cluttered with things I no longer need.There are also times when I need to access that data from devices where I can't use WhatsApp or Slack. For those situations, I've relied on online clipboard services like cl1p.net or pastebin but I kept running into limitations that got in the way.Another use case is automation. Sometimes I need to make arbitrary daAug 5, 2026 4:59 PM

Launch HN: HyperProbe (YC S26) – Agents that do read-only debugging in prodhttps://www.hyperprobe.coHi HN, this is Shailendra and Karan here. We are building a fast and safe way for coding agents to debug issues live in production.When prod breaks, it lets Cursor, Claude, and others drop virtual breakpoints or probes safely in your running code, and extract the exact variable values that logs don’t have.All this saves time and effort for engineers who’d otherwise dig through logs and traces or redeploy with console.logs or print statements until they find the root cause.Here is the link to the video that explains this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivV7I--ta5cAgents write most of our code now. This shrinks the useful context engineers need to debug AI written code, a problem not helped by the limited telemetry added in the same code by AI.So when something breaks in prod, the first instinct for an engineer is to open logs or throw them to your agents. But if the line you are looking for is not there, agents will start guessing the root cause on non-existent data, forcing you to addAug 5, 2026 4:47 PM

Show HN: Diffing Binary Fileshttps://withkord.com/diffMy partner reviews a lot of P&IDs (piping and instrumentation diagrams) and the adjacent files involved (excel, docx, pdfs, acd/l5x, etc). In his company, these are usually done in Bluebeam.It's really hard to see the diff + keep track of all the revisions resulted by these iterations. They end up storing files like "rev3_final_redlined.pdf". We've been looking for something close to Github to do these reviews, but haven't found one easy enough for folks with no CLI experience to understand and use (happy to check out more tools if you know any).So I built withkord.com to help with revisioning and diffing binary files.

Show HN: AppScout – App Store downloads, revenue and widgetshttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/appscout-app-metrics/id6770866569Hey hackers!Signing in to App Store Connect just to check downloads or MRR is a friction. I wanted a simpler way. Ideally, just to look at a widget on my iPhone. There are some apps, but the design and implementation made me think here's a gap that I can potentially fill it with a new polished product. So I've built this app.It took me several months to start beta testing. But then I got feedback from users that they don't really want to share their App Store key credentials with a third-party app that uses a backend and collects data. So, I spent one more month pivoting to a private app by dropping a backend and storing credentials on a user's device in a keychain. So, now the app directly talks to Apple's API and there's no account registration. You add a team key - the app fetches data. App also uses background tasks to fetch most recent data so you don't need to open it every day to keep the data fresh. And as a final point - I added widgets to both home and lock screens.Please letAug 5, 2026 4:09 PM

Show HN: Vest.fyi – equity calculator shows range of outcomes and benchmarkshttps://vest.fyi/Hi everyone,Employees evaluating startup offers or working at startups face some unique challenges in terms of understanding and evaluating their equity. I’ve had to learn this the hard way.I’m building a platform to help employees evaluate their startup equity (offered or accepted). Two current features: 1. A probabilistic outcome model for your equity offer. Loosely based on real public data, the point is to treat it as a framework with which to visualize the possible range of outcomes, rather than a prediction 2. Benchmark your offer against other offers in the same role x company stageIt’s not necessary to submit an offer to use it, and no company or personal info is saved for saved offers - benchmarking is done by role x stage only.My long term vision is to build a community-based platform where user-submitted offers can build a dataset to help employees evaluate their offers.Another long term idea is to incorporate equity tracking over time for employees that are actively workingAug 5, 2026 3:46 PM

We’re Arbi, Marco, and Rob, and we built Dr. PD to make USB-C power problems easier to understand. It sits between a power source and device, captures and decodes their USB-PD negotiation, and correlates it with voltage and current measurements. It can also act as a programmable sink, with support for fixed supplies, PPS, AVS, and USB-PD 3.2 EPR up to 240 W.Commercial USB-PD analyzers are often priced beyond the reach of hobbyists and independent designers. We are on a mission to make high-quality test equipment more accessible. Dr. PD’s hardware, firmware, software, libraries, and documentation are all open source.Hardware and software are ready, and all the source and design files are available on our GitHub repo [1]. We’re also preparing to launch it through Crowd Supply [2], where you can also sign up to be notified when it becomes available.The host software runs locally in Chrome without drAug 5, 2026 3:11 PM

Show HN: Arxid – keyed, non-enumerable ID obfuscationhttps://github.com/lucasolopes/arxidI kept reaching for Hashids/Sqids to keep sequential IDs out of URLs, but they don't use a real key — the alphabet is shuffled by a salt, and the Sqids FAQ says outright "there is no encryption of any kind."arxid is a keyed reversible permutation instead: a balanced Feistel network with an ARX (add-rotate-xor) round function over a 40-bit domain, mapping to a 7-char base62 code. Feed it an integer, get an unpredictable code back; same key reverses it. Runs ~16x faster than a structurally identical Feistel using HMAC-SHA256, because the round function is integer ops instead of a hash call.The round count (4) isn't a guess — it's calibrated by measuring strict avalanche. I'm also upfront in the README about what it is NOT: not encryption, not a MAC, not audited. It's a speed bump against enumeration, not access control.The part I care most about is portability: a frozen spec + canonical test vectors act as the contract, so any port in any language validates against the same vectors and iAug 5, 2026 2:29 PM

Doing a soft launch today, mostly because we want to understand more about the problem we’re trying to solve.I have spent some years around programming language and devtool communities, and something always seemed strange to me, because open source projects depend on each other but the communities around them are treated as completely separate by platforms like Discord.A user asks a question in one project's Discord or forum, even though the actual problem may come from one of its dependencies, so they have to rewrite the question and start another discussion somewhere else.
