Show HN: Tosynch – reconnect with your friends and meet oftenhttps://tosynch.comI built this app to solve problem I had, and perhaps others too. I have been finding tough stay in touch with friends. Other than occasional hi/hellos, there is lack of meaningful interactions ongoing basis. Tosynch helps with connecting with existing friends, without calendar setup. It does one thing only and focuses on that. There is no hidden agenda of selling personal data for ads, nor any scheme around increasing likes. There is no discovery mechanism, and no public profiles. If we want to reduce our usage of phones and devices, we don't need another app to helps us constrained. We want to create more opportunities to meet people we already know. Tosynch helps increase those opportunities. It nudges after a chosen period, to reconnect and meet. Feedback appreciated.Aug 21, 2026 3:10 PM

Netanyahu focused on reelection as Israeli govt grows 'less concerned' about international isolationhttps://www.france24.com/en/netanyahu-focused-on-reelection-as-israeli-govt-grows-less-concerned-about-international-isolationAnnette Young is pleased to welcome Dr. Aaron Y. Zelin, Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He sees Israel’s recent actions in the West Bank and Syria as part of a broader shift in its strategic posture. Since October 7, the Israeli government has become markedly less concerned with international opinion, prioritizing what it defines as its security interests even at the cost of growing diplomatic isolation. Domestic politics matter here. With elections approaching, some recent military activity can also be understood through an electoral lens. But he would distinguish that from Israel’s increasingly confrontational posture toward Turkey, which predates the current election cycle. As Iran and its regional proxy network have been weakened, figures around the Israeli prime minister have increasingly framed Turkey as a potential future strategic challenge.Aug 21, 2026 12:57 PM

Show HN: Investment Bets – A performance tracker for market betshttps://investment-bets.comI've long been an index-investing type of person, but sometime last year I started making some side bets, especially in tech (some inspired by WSB). Since I was also sharing some of them with like-minded friends, I thought about simplifying this whole process.This is how Investment Bets came about: you pick a ticker, a direction and optionally a target date. From there, the site tracks your bet for as long as you keep it open (or until the target date), and you can always see the % gain/loss.The entry and exit prices are fetched automatically by the server at the respective times, so you can trust that a bet you see was legit and not just a self-report. The obvious downside is that you have to open/close them ASAP if you want to track your actual trades, but so far I haven't found that to be a problem.All the performance is tracked as percentages and all sizing is always equal, in order to focus on performance and make it easier to share without the sizing awkwardness.

Ask HN: Thoughts on Friend Making Apps?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49383929I've been seeing an influx of friend making apps like 222, Timeleft, Real Roots, BE.IRL, and so many more. I do think that with the increasing use of social media, endless doomscrolling, and AI, human connection has been impacted adversely in the last decade.Has anyone used these apps? What're your thoughts on them? Do you think the "loneliness epidemic" is really solvable by these types of apps or is there something larger at scale that needs to be done?Aug 21, 2026 4:52 AM

Show HN: Fsel –. a Rust TUI launcher, fuzzy picker and clipboard browserhttps://github.com/Mjoyufull/fselfsel is a terminal app launcher for Linux/*BSD. It also has a dmenu-style mode for piping arbitrary input through it, and a clipboard-history mode with text and image previews, I started it because I started using otterlauncher and needed a tui app laucnher bc otterlauncher was tui, i looked around and nothing was up to par, then i found Gyr, it was the closest thing but it needed sum work so i add the things I needed, and it eventually grew into fsel.its evolved to be more than an app launcher, i use the normal launcher mode for desktop apps, but I also use --dmenu for shell scripts, and it has --cclip for clipboard picker. It can also output selections or app data to stdout/JSON, preserve original indices for scripts, preview clipboard images in supported terminals, and the UI/keybinds/layout are configurable. A lot of the work lately has been making those modes behave consistently across weird Linux/Wayland setups and cleaning up ux.Aug 21, 2026 2:28 AM

Personally it's a lot of booking travel and dinners.Since we've been spending so much time in Attention, we decided to add a calendar to fix the issue. It looks like Notion Calendar, but it also supports a few new features like "fuzzy events".The onboarding is more involved and so we'll do 1:1s for a bit (comment below if you want to be in the cohort), but we would love any and all feedback!As before:- Privacy / Security: Your data is yours, fully local in LanceDB + SQLite, never leaving your machine unless you turn on the AI agenAug 20, 2026 7:17 PM

Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AIhttps://www.danielvaughn.dev/posts/huzzah/Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah.I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself.I'd like to go back to writing code, but I don't want to go all the way back to fully manual coding. So I've come up with this interaction paradigm where you: 1. write pseudocode in whatever way makes the most sense to you 2. on save, the editor synchronizes your work to real source code 3. the pseudocode is persisted alongside the generated code, making your prompt effectively a stored record of intent. It may not work for every use case, but in my initial playthroughs I've found it very enjoyable.Right now it's just a proof of Aug 20, 2026 7:05 PM

Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing with porting games and desktop environments and even compiling runnable programs within Kandelo.Yet it feels like there are many possibilities we haven't considered.How would you like to use something like this?Demos:Some notes: The demos have been tested in desktop browsers.
