If what you're doing seems impossible: in 1903 NYT said planes are impossibleTo be precise in 1903 they predicted it will take one million years in the best possible case (sarcasm i guess) for humans to build useful heavier-than-air craft. Well it took 70 days. The very same year the Wright brothers arrived or rather "left"...upwards with their airplane:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_Flyerhttps://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1ocua1b/in_1903_the_nyt_published_an_editorial_declaring/

Show HN: Frontend-VisualQA — give coding agents eyes to verify their own UI workCoding agents today are blind.They write “valid” HTML/CSS code but can still ship a broken layout, a clipped dropdown, or a page at the wrong URL. Playwright scripts can assert modal.isVisible() without knowing the modal is rendered off-screen.Essentially, coding agents need “eyes” to verify their own UI work.frontend-visualqa is a CLI + MCP server for Claude Code and Codex for visual testing, verification, and QA of a website.You give it a URL and natural-language claims: frontend-visualqa verify http://localhost:8000/dashboard.html \ --claims \ 'The API status indicator shows Active' \ 'The monthly quota progress bar is completely filled' # → first claim passes, second fails (label says 100% but bar is ~65% full) It catches visualDOM disagreements that selectors are blind to.You can also test interactive flows without hardcoded data: frontend-visualqa verify 'http://localhost:8000/booking_form.html' \ --claims 'The date on the confirmation page matches the date selected on the calend

Show HN: HolyCode – OpenCode in Docker. Use your Claude subscription. 30 toolsHolyCode is a Docker image that wraps OpenCode (https://opencode.ai), an AI coding agent with a web UI. It ships with 30+ dev tools pre-installed, a headless Chromium/Xvfb/Playwright stack, s6-overlay for process supervision, and UID/GID remapping for correct file permissions on bind mounts.The main problem it solves: rebuilding the same environment every time you switch machines or update a container. All OpenCode state (sessions, settings, MCP configs, plugins) lives in a bind mount outside the container. Rebuild or update the image, your state comes back.*On the API key cost angle:*If you pay for Claude Max or Pro, you can use those credentials directly instead of a separate Anthropic API key. One env var enables it. The plugin reads from the credentials file OpenCode stores on your host. This removes a layer of cost if you're already paying for a subscription.Note: this may be outside what Anthropic's ToS covers. The README is explicit about that.It supports 10+ AI providers (Anthr

We checkpoint Chrome to NVMe and restore it in 500ms ()We've been building browser infrastructure for AI agents. The problem everyone hits: you spin up Chrome, log into something, do some work, and then what?Keep the VM running at $30/month doing nothing, or kill it and lose the session.We wanted to freeze Chrome to disk when it's idle and bring it back exactly where it left off. Turns out this is hard. After a lot of trial and error with different browser builds and configurations, we got it working with Playwright's Chromium on Orb Cloud using CRIU.The result: navigate to Google, pick up some cookies, take a screenshot, freeze. Wait. Restore. Same cookies, same page, identical screenshot. We ran it back-to-back on Google, Wikipedia, and Hacker News — all pass.Orb-browser is the open source repo. It's a headless Chrome you can put to sleep. It costs nothing while sleeping, wakes in ~500ms, and everything is intact — cookies, localStorage, the page you were on. The browser doesn't know it was frozen.If you're running browser agents that ar

Show HN: Get a demo video with AI voiceover using DemoFlyHi HN, I'm Matt, one of the engineers behind DemoFly!We built DemoFly because we got tired of the gap between building features and showing them to people. Our team has been doing full-stack engineering for over a decade (most recently building Rownd, an authentication platform) and the one thing that never got easier was making demo videos. You finish a feature, you know it works, but showing it to someone means opening a screen recorder, figuring out what to say, re-recording when you stumble. So the demo just...doesn't happen.DemoFly is a CLI tool. You point it at whatever you're building and it autonomously navigates your app using Playwright + image recognition, then produces a polished video with AI-generated voiceover. No screen recording, no scripting on your part.How it works technically: - Node-based CLI. You run demofly against localhost or any browser-accessible target. - Playwright drives a headless browser. Image processing observes the rendered UI and decides what to int

Show HN: HackerNews.pink – A PWA HN reader with personalized recommendationsI think everyone should build their own HN reader at least once in their life. This is mine and its pink. I wanted a good HN experience on mobile something I could pull up on the train and browse comfortably. So I built a PWA that works well on mobile and feels native on the phone. Along the way, I kept adding things: Semantic search – Stories are embedded with OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large and indexed in MongoDB 8.2's Vector Search. Search combines vector similarity and full-text via Reciprocal Rank Fusion, so you can find stories by meaning, not just keywords. Personalized feed: A profile vector is built from your reading history and bookmarks (weighted by time spent and recency). After a few stories, the feed adapts to your interests. Content extraction: A Playwright-based scraper fetches article text, generates thumbnails, and extracts metadata. Real-time updates and infinity scroll. Auth is passkey-first (WebAuthn) and works without personal information. Stack: Angular 21, FastA

Show HN: Pilo – open-source agentic web automation engine by MozillaHello HN,We are the team behind Tabstack (https://tabstack.ai) - part of Mozilla. We just open sourced Pilo (pronounce PIE-low), the core engine that powers our automation platform. You can check it out on Github at https://github.com/mozilla/pilo.Pilo is an agentic web automation library. Instead of writing rigid scripts with CSS selectors, you give it a natural language goal (e.g., "Find the best pizza in Seattle and extract the ratings") and it autonomously navigates the browser to achieve it.We built this because we were struggling to make reliable agents for our own /automate endpoint. Existing tools were either too brittle (breaking on minor DOM changes) or too heavy (feeding raw HTML to LLMs, blowing up context windows).Here is how Pilo solves those problems:- Accessibility Tree over HTML: Instead of parsing raw HTML "soup," Pilo captures the browser's accessibility tree (via Playwright's _snapshotForAI). This gives the LLM a semantic, stable view of the page (buttons, links, in

Managed OpenClaw hosting, 60-second provisioningI registered https://clawhosters.com 18 days ago. Wrote the first line of code that same day. The whole thing is live now with paying customers, so I figured it was time to share it here.The problem: deploying OpenClaw (the open-source AI agent framework) is annoying. Docker setup, Nginx config, SSL, firewall rules, Playwright browser installation for web tools, messenger bridge configuration. If you know what you're doing, it probably takes an hour. I got it down to 30-60 seconds.*The provisioning trick: prewarmed VPS*Snapshot-based provisioning alone gets you to about 3 minutes. Hetzner needs ~40s to create the VPS from a snapshot alone.The thing that actually makes it fast is prewarming. I keep 1-2 idle VPS per tier sitting ready. They're already booted from the snapshot, Docker is running, everything is warm. When a customer clicks "Create Instance," I claim a prewarmed server, SSH in, upload configs, start containers. 30-60 seconds, done.A background job monitors the pool and repl

Show HN: OpenBrowser MCP: Give your AI agent a real efficient browserYour AI agent is burning 6x more tokens than it needs to just to browse the web. We built OpenBrowser MCP to fix that. Most browser MCPs give the LLM dozens of tools: click, scroll, type, extract, navigate. Each call dumps the entire page accessibility tree into the context window. One Wikipedia page? 124K+ tokens. Every. Single. Call. OpenBrowser works differently. It exposes one tool. Your agent writes Python code, and OpenBrowser executes it in a persistent runtime with full browser access. The agent controls what comes back. No bloated page dumps. No wasted tokens. Just the data your agent actually asked for. The result? We benchmarked it against Playwright MCP (Microsoft) and Chrome DevTools MCP (Google) across 6 real-world tasks: - 3.2x fewer tokens than Playwright MCP - 6x fewer tokens than Chrome DevTools MCP - 144x smaller response payloads - 100% task success rate across all benchmarks One tool. Full browser control. A fraction of the cost. It works with any MCP-compatible cl

Show HN: HN Showcase – I rebuilt my 2011 Show HN gallery with AI curationI built HN Showcase as a weekend project in 2011 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2843490) - a thumbnail gallery for Show HN posts. It got some love (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4053755, 158 pts), then went offline like all side projects do.Fourteen years later, Show HN gets hundreds of posts per day and it's harder to find the interesting stuff. So I rebuilt it from scratch.Every post gets a Playwright screenshot, then Claude Haiku analyzes the screenshot + page content + GitHub README to classify it into tiers (Gem → Banger → Solid → Mid → Pass) with a one-sentence editorial take and vibe tags like "Wizardry" or "Dark Horse."The whole rating system was built by iterating with AI — I gave it the objective (surface interesting projects, don't inflate scores) and had it design the tier rubric, pick real posts as calibration benchmarks, and tune itself until the distribution had teeth. I didn't hand-label a single example. Out of a couple thousand posts analyzed, under 1% g

Show HN: 2d platformer game built with Codex (zero code)Hi HN!On Sunday I spent a couple of hours building a short 2d platformer ("Prince of Persia" style). What's interesting is how I built it. I went for a zero-code approach, and built the whole thing using OpenAI Codex CLI and agent skills (with the progressive disclosure paradigm).You can play the game here: https://acatovic.github.io/gothicvania-codex-demo/You can see the full code, agent skills and a complete writeup here: https://github.com/acatovic/gothicvania-codex-demoSome takeaways:* This was one of the most enjoyable experiences ever!* Applying harness engineering with progressive disclosure is incredibly powerful - I treated my SKILL.md as simply a ToC (a "skills map") and took it from there* Implement -> Evaluate loops are key - I used Playwright and an evaluation checklist and the agent built and corrected automagically* I used PROGRESS.md as a memory/log mechanism for the agent, and a way to minimize context noise* The game dev agent was steered by the DESIGN-DOCUMENT.md, st

Show HN: Smooth CLI – Token-efficient browser for AI agentsHi HN! Smooth CLI (https://www.smooth.sh) is a browser that agents like Claude Code can use to navigate the web reliably, quickly, and affordably. It lets agents specify tasks using natural language, hiding UI complexity, and allowing them to focus on higher-level intents to carry out complex web tasks. It can also use your IP address while running browsers in the cloud, which helps a lot with roadblocks like captchas (https://docs.smooth.sh/features/use-my-ip).Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62jthcU705k Docs start at https://docs.smooth.sh.Agents like Claude Code, etc are amazing but mostly restrained to the CLI, while a ton of valuable work needs a browser. This is a fundamental limitation to what these agents can do.So far, attempts to add browsers to these agents (Claude’s built-in --chrome, Playwright MCP, agent-browser, etc.) all have interfaces that are unnatural for browsing. They expose hundreds of tools - e.g. click, type, select, etc - and the action space is

Show HN: Eigent – the open source alternative of CoworkHi everyone!For the past six months, we’ve been building an open-source local agent called Eigent, an open-source alternative of Cowork and was #1 on GitHub Trending! It supports BYOK and can help you to organize local files, automate browsers end-to-end. GitHub: https://github.com/eigent-ai/eigentAt the core is CAMEL’s Workforce system, which is inspired by distributing systems: a root node for task planning and coordination, worker nodes for execution, and an asynchronous task channel. It also supports failure tolerance and recursive workers for long-horizon tasks. All of this is open source.For browser automation, Eigent uses a two-layer architecture:- a Python layer for agent reasoning and orchestration- a TypeScript layer (built on Playwright) for native browser control (DOM ops, SoM markers, occlusion handling)These two layers communicate asynchronously via WebSockets to keep things low-latency and avoid the limits of Python-only automation. This stack is also open source.Happy t

Ask HN: Is there a free MCP for web and documentation search?I'm struggling to find a way for Codex to perform thorough searches without having to pay for a plan or wasting tokens. What I've tried:* Codex's built-in web search tool: can't browse JS-only sites. In my case, it's unable to browse developer.apple.com. * `microsoft/playwright-mcp`: It's able to perform searches and read pages, but very heavy hit on context. Burned through 10% of the context window for a single search. * Exa.ai, context7.com, Brave Search MCP: I'm strongly turned off by the pay-per-thousand model or caps on free plans. I understand they have to make money, it's just not what I want to spend money on. * https://github.com/arabold/docs-mcp-server: I didn't test this, but I was turned off by the fact you have to run the server in the background instead of allowing it to be booted by the Codex instance (via npx) like it can for other kinds of MCP servers.Does anyone have a solution to this that hits on all marks: free, able to read websites including JS ones, thorough and

Ask HN: Would you use a service that generates OG images via one meta tag?Most sites don’t bother with Open Graph images for every page (blog posts, product pages, docs, etc.), which leads to boring or broken previews on Twitter/LinkedIn/Slack.I’ve been experimenting with a hosted service where you add just one meta tag like:When someone shares your page, the OG image is generated dynamically (via browser rendering), cached with stale-while-revalidate, and served quickly. You can set up templates for consistent branding, titles, etc.This avoids:Manually designing images for each pageRunning your own Puppeteer/Playwright setupAdding heavy infra for what’s essentially a small but important detailMy questions for HN:Is this actually a pain point you’ve run into?Would you trust a third-party service for OG images, or prefer rolling your own?What would make this useful enough to adopt (API access, cache-busting, more control, pricing)?I’d love to hear whether this scratches a real itch or is just a “nice-to-have.”

Launch HN: Simplex (YC S24) – Browser automation platform for developersHi HN! We’re Marco and Shreya, founders of Simplex (https://www.simplex.sh/). We’re building all the infrastructure you need for modern browser automation – including remote browsers, steerable web agents, and more.Here’s a demo: https://youtu.be/7KpWJbOcm1YWe’re excited to be posting on HN again! Back in January, we Show HN’d the earliest version of Simplex (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42704160). We’ve now spent close to a year working with real customers, forward-deploying into their codebases, and building web agent systems for them from the ground up to understand what it takes to get agents working in production.We built Simplex because we started seeing a pattern: companies would initially roll their own Playwright/Stagehand web automation solutions. This worked fine in the early prototype stages, but they’d quickly get overwhelmed with technical challenges as they productionized automations across all the websites their customers use.As they scaled, they’d have to build
