Show HN: Zmina – clipboard with per-app paste transformshttps://zmina.app/Hi HN,Zmina sits between copy and paste. It reads what's in the clipboard and where you paste, and offers a short list of actions you can apply. Without switching apps.The problem: you copied the log and need to paste it into the issue, but it contains sensitive info (emails, IPs, usernames in paths, etc.). So you need to remove all of these from the log before publishing. It’s probably a couple of regexes.Another problem: you want to paste Rust code into Discord chat. So you have to wrap it in ```rust to have it formatted and highlighted properly.One more: you want to paste a large fragment of text (or code) from the clipboard into an email. As a file. Probably you will: create a new file, paste into it, save the file and then attach it to the email. And then probably you will want to remove this temp file.What about pasting an image from the clipboard as a data URL, pasting CSV as a table into Markdown, pasting JSON as a .env file?I built Zmina to resolve these (and other) problems.

Show HN: MCP app for Android, drive apps via AI (no root, PII redacted locally)https://github.com/danielealbano/android-remote-control-mcp/Hi HN, author here.Android Remote Control MCP is an MCP server that runs directly on your Android phone (no root, no ADB, no computer in the middle) and lets an AI agent drive real apps the way a human would: it reads the screen through the accessibility tree, taps, types, scrolls, optionally also screenshots.I spent a lot of time optimizing tool usage and token consumption, and making it work not only via local harnesses but also via Claude.ai / Claude Desktop and chatgpt.com (if you have the proper account, the app acts as its own OAuth server, you approve connections with a code on the phone).The newest part is Privacy Mode, and it exists because after an earlier release someone told me in plain terms they'd never use it because, rightfully, they didn't want the LLM provider to see everything on their screen! So now a combination of a small local model plus deterministic detectors identify personal information (emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IBANs, national IDs, English names,Aug 19, 2026 2:23 PM

I'm so f-n tired of the Internet It has become the worst placehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49361760Today, my 3-year-old Reddit account has been banned for no reason. They deleted all my posts and comments as well. Yesterday, the website I invested years of my time in SEO into was nuked by Google and lost its position overnight due to new anti-spam policies that rolled in. A month ago, on another project, I missed an email from a payment processing provider and lost payments and all revenue, only because Gmail put the most important email in spam. Nothing works well in this fucking shthle. I'm sick of that.Aug 19, 2026 2:02 PM
