Show HN: Open-source Stripe Connect alternativehttps://zoneless.comHey, I'm Ben. I built Zoneless because I was paying so much to use Stripe Connect on my own marketplace. The fees were really, really bad, and it was also limiting in terms of the seller countries I could onboard. To give you an idea, I was paying around $9,000 per month in fees just to run payouts. Using Zoneless, that cost goes down to around $6.I've been using it personally for the past few months, and onboarded 5,000+ sellers and done 3,000+ payouts. 74% of new sellers on my marketplace choose Zoneless over Stripe, which is really interesting. I appreciate crypto and stablecoins are a bit of a touchy subject, but for this use case of sending global payouts cheaply, it's perfect.The project is open source with an Apache 2.0 licence, which means there's the benefit of no lock-in and no risk of your account getting flagged or shut down. It also has an almost identical API and dashboard to Stripe.Would love to hear any feedback you may have in the comments.Aug 20, 2026 2:38 PM

Show HN: Check if any of the $656M in unclaimed royalties at The MLC is yourshttps://pub.doub.ly/Hi HN, I built this. Quick background on why it exists:When music is streamed on digital streaming platforms (think Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora), there are two separate royalty streams: one for the recording, paid through your distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, CDBaby), and one for the underlying work (generally known as publishing). The work side's mechanical royalties are collected by The MLC, a nonprofit that was created by the 2018 Music Modernization Act (MMA). If you haven't registered your songs with The MLC, there are issues with your metadata, or about half a dozen other reasons, that money will never reach you, it just collects in a big pile we call the "black box".That pile is big. The MLC's own dashboard currently shows over $656M is held (themlc.com/blanket-royalties), and the biggest problem is the MMA dictates that The MLC cannot hold that money indefinitely. At some point, by law, The MLC must distribute this big pile of cash, and since they don't know who it's supposeAug 20, 2026 2:38 PM

Show HN: Omacosy – Omarchy-style tiling desktop for macOS, no SIPhttps://github.com/paulsp94/omacosyI have been using omarchy on my tower since nearly a year now, shortly after it was released first. I really love the experience I am having with it but I still use my macbook for daly work, so I wanted to recreate a similar experience on it. Thats why I created omacosy, a setup for tiling windows, custom menu bar, some themes from omarchy, focus follows mouse, focus rings around windwos, some mac flavors with trackpad events and a custom mission control overview for your workspaces.I used AeroSpace over yabai for the tiling window manager because I didnt wanted to compromise on SIP which is a mac security feature. It is supposed to be keyboard first like omarchy to move windows organize workspaces etc The setup runs around 157mb of ram and consists of AeroSpace, Karabiner (for the super key), and five small self build swift binaries.I am running it daily on my M1 max macbook, currently on macOS26. I havent tested it much on other macbooks or macOS versions. The install script creates Aug 20, 2026 2:12 PM

Is this AWS RI/SP simulation engine interesting / valuable?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49374412TLDR; This AWS RI/SP tool we built might have unique features that are important especially for companies running large, high-variability workloads with high coverage targets. We want feedback on how true that is and whether we should open this up to others, possibly even for free or as OSS.Setup: We're a small cloud cost consultancy, but not a tools vendor. We do build a lot of internal tooling for our own use. We serve companies spending 7- to 9-figures (USD) annually.One of the internal tools we built over the past several years is a simulation engine for RIs/SPs that can do a number of things, some of which we believe might be one-of-a-kind in the space today and could be valuable to others.1.) Visualize the entire commitment savings/discount curve for any commitment type (any RI, any SP, of any flavor), showing the exact savings achieved and the marginal discount rate at every level of commitment.

Show HN: Open-source tool turning company knowledge into Duolingo-like courseshttps://www.scibly.com/de/My buddy and I have been working on a side project for the past few months called Scibly.The idea is pretty simple:Companies already have an incredible amount of knowledge sitting in PDFs, documentation, internal wikis, etc. The problem is turning all of that information into something employees can actually learn from and retain.For this reason we decided to build Scibly, a tool that automatically turns boring company knowledge into interactive, Duolingo-like (but better) learning experiences.Today, we decided to open-source the whole thing.We're still pretty inexperienced when it comes to open source, so we'd genuinely love to hear your feedback, whether that's about the product, the idea, the codebase, or how we're approaching the project.Short product demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcpLUNBRhQwGithub: https://github.com/scibly-dev/sciblyWould love to hear what you guys think!Aug 20, 2026 1:11 PM

Show HN: testmagic.link – Zero-setup magic link testing for coding agentshttps://testmagic.linkI built testmagic.link because Claude Code kept using my personal Gmail when testing magic-link authentication, filling my inbox with test emails.I know there are existing email testing services, but the ones I found require signing up, getting credentials, and integrating an API. That felt like overkill when I just wanted to tell Claude Code: "test the email sign-in using testmagic.link".So I made testmagic.link. No signup, no API keys, no integration. It’s basically a one-liner with a domain that’s easy to remember. I also added an llms.txt file at the root, so agents instantly know how to read the inbox without me explaining it.There’s also an optional mail-scanner simulation: add ?prefetch=1 to the inbox URL, and testmagic.link will GET each message’s magic link once before you open it, without following redirects — similar to how Outlook Safe Links or a corporate mail scanner might prefetch links.
