Show HN: My First OSS as a Teenhttps://openotp.appHey! I'm Jenin, a 14 year old in Toronto, Canada! This is my first proper Open Source software I made, called OpenOTP! I have 6 emails :sob: and grabbing OTP's from them can be hard, even with a good email client. So I built this tool to make it easier for me! I made it in native Swift :)I did this for Hack Club Horizons, which is an event where they're flying teens to 7 countries around the world for hackathons! You can find out more about Hack Club at https://hackclub.com and horizons at https://horizons.hackclub.com.I'd love if you guys could check out my software and let me know what you think :)Jul 28, 2026 4:57 AM

Show HN: Scanner for cellular automata rule spacehttps://kypaku.github.io/pages/ca2026/Many years ago I was interested in cellular automata, inspired by Stephen Wolfram's work. I dug into elementary CA and totalistic 3-state rules. But when I went to more states it was getting boring. Almost all of them are dead or chaotic or something that everybody has already seen. But somewhere inside there could be another 110, and nobody looked.Now that we have AI coding, I decided I can build something in that area, and an app for scanning rules was the obvious thing. I implemented an explorer with a bunch of filters: gliders, chaos, large structures, and custom search. The last one works backwards — you draw a pattern and a rule passes only if this pattern never occurs. I could not define "interesting", but it was easy to say what disqualifies a rule. It also renders diagrams as big PNG.Demo: https://kypaku.github.io/pages/ca2026/ Source: https://github.com/Kypaku/ca2026Jul 26, 2026 4:39 PM

Show HN: I built a hypervisor and client for inference on consumer computehttps://scalattice.com/blog/openai-sdk-scalattice/I'm the founder of Scalattice, this is my second company, third total product. I'm a 2x founder building some challenging software, some easy software, and some curiosity based tools that I've just always wanted to be a part of!So here is Scalattice.Scalattice is an OpenAI-compatible inference API. You keep the OpenAI SDK, swap base_url + API key, and call open models (Qwen3, Llama 3.3 70B, Gemma 3, DeepSeek R1, etc.). Inference is performed by a provider node on our distributed network of consumer hosted inference machines, we run an open source agent (https://github.com/scalattice/scalattice-agent) which works in Rust to run the inference and get the provider paid.In short, anyone can become a provider, offer up their machine with our Windows/Linux Rust agent, and earn some extra cash, or start a farm of machines to make big bucks.I decided to build some innovative behavioural traits to the API for higher performance/security: 1. output vetting - Scalattice Cloud vets the response agJul 26, 2026 5:43 AM

Show HN: Skim – a minimalist open-source email client for Windows (MIT)https://skim-tech.com/I built Skim because I was super dissatisfied with all existing Windows clients.I mean, it's not a rocket science, there should be some lightweight modern solution, isn't it? So I decided to create a client that just, you know, MAKES SENSE and has design younger than dinosaurs.Key points:* Obsessed with installer size: it should be under 5Mb.* BYOK AI. Cowriter, agentic search, summarization and other AI stuff is powered by your own key for Anthropic/Openrouter, or you can connect your own OpenAI-compatible server (including local)* No bloat. It should be as contextual as possible: gives you right button when you need it. No menu at all. No integrations. Just email.* Instant startup, super modest on resources* Cool warm zine design with paper colors and really calming vibesIt's MIT - contribution and stars are welcome!Jul 23, 2026 9:12 PM

Show HN: PMG, open source package firewallhttps://github.com/safedep/pmgHi HNI am the founder of SafeDep. We have been detecting malicious packages for a while. Coming from DevSecOps background, I always considered malicious package detection & protection to be a build stage problem. But I was wrong since the S1ngularity and early Shai-Hulud days.In 2026, we pretty much started worrying more about our own dev machines than CI/CD environment. Depending only on threat intelligence data (OSV / SafeDep / Socket / any other source) to protect our own dev machines did not feel right. We wanted to build a multi-layered protection that can get 100% visibility of OSS packages coming in, and can protect against known and “hopefully” unknown threats. That’s how Package Manager Guard (PMG) started. Core idea was simple:- Start a local proxy (localhost)- Make sure supported package managers like npm, pnpm, pip etc. goes through it- Use threat intelligence data to fail fast on known malicious packages- Apply policies like dependency cooldown as additional guardrails- AdJul 21, 2026 4:58 PM

Show HN: An MCP server that turns async-work practices into toolshttps://github.com/open-and-async/mcpMore than a decade ago, I adopted the self-imposed rule, if I answer a question more than once, the third time I need to be able to answer with a URL. Today, I published one very large URL - a book distilling what I learned from helping people work remotely at GitHub, and I wanted to rethink my rule for the age of AI.What if, instead of a URL, I could create an interactive experience that could tailor the guidance to your particular situation?What I ended up building was an Open and Async Advisor MCP server. To install (in claude or any other AI):> claude mcp add open-async -- npx -y @open-and-async/mcpTransparently, yes, it's from a book I wrote which launched today, but the MCP server is open source and free to use. No purchase required. It knows the key principles of the book, and has specialized tools like `draft_decision_doc`, `convert_meeting_to_async`, `score_status_update`, `triage_sync_vs_async`.This is an experiment for me, and I'm genuinely curious if it's helpful for othersJul 21, 2026 4:06 PM

Ask HN: Does a local, Git-backed LLM "compiler" for personal notes make sense?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48968447Back in 2012, my very first startup was a note-taking and document storage app. Think Evernote meets Google Drive, but with a much faster UI. We managed to claw our way up to 1,800 active users. Then Google announced 25GB of free storage for Drive, and overnight, our business model evaporated. We had to shut down the company.I've been through the startup ringer four times since then. Despite the explosion of knowledge management tools over the last decade, I still manage almost my entire life and todo list in a single Markdown file. I’ve grown to severely distrust SaaS note-taking apps. I don't want my second brain held hostage by a monthly subscription, and I don't want it locked in a proprietary database.I'm thinking about building something new in this space, completely free and open-source, and I want a sanity check to see if anyone actually cares about this approach.The Idea: A lightweight, native desktop and Mac/Windows app that acts as an "LLM compiler" for your local files (insJul 19, 2026 2:20 PM
