Show HN: Taurus Agents, my take on multi-agent hierarchieshttps://taurusagents.com/Hi HN! Serge here, solo founder. I built my own multi-agent orchestrator and it became so useful that for several months I've never had to touch codex or claude code anymore, just using Taurus now. The website explains what it is, but here I wanted to share how and why. If you think multi-agent orchestration is stupid, I'll try to convince you otherwise.(And if you'd rather watch a video than read the text, here's the walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa5CIxf5Rhk)Persistent identity: All my agents have names (Tessera = personal strategist, Alcyone = in charge of engineering at Taurus, and so on), roles, their own separate prompts, their own MEMORY.md, their own episodic memory (continuity logs they write for future selves) and so on. A lot of people still think it's silly vs talking to Claude or ChatGPT, but you'd be surprised how much everything changes once you seed a persona that cares about one specific mini-project or an aspect of it and takes care of it on every awaken

Design with a Soul: How to make your Vibe-coded site not look like AI Slophttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49287430I have some tips on how to make your site / app feel real and human even if it's vibe coded.- I'm not a graphics designer but I've worked with many and deeply interested in it for 15 years. - I led a UX team in a 50K+ organisation - I've launched 6+ businesses and did countless websites.So here's how I do it -- I'm not saying THIS IS THE WAY to do it. This is HOW I DO IT.1) Whiteboard. Sit your ass down, put some music on you find inspirational and imagine what you want your users to feel. What type of an "ambiance" this site should have? Energetic, calming, playful, serious? Pick 1 or 2 as your primary emotional anchors.2) Principles. You need to have these engrained in your bones. Less is more. If you try to do everything you do nothing. Design is an exercise in ruthless elimination. Read on design to build your internal mental heuristics library.3) Mental Image. Once you have a feel and direction decided (can change, but clarity is important) (For example, while I was building my cu

Xteink’s tiny e-readers are getting access to free books through Libbyhttps://www.theverge.com/tech/976390/xteink-x3-x4-x4-pro-e-reader-libby-plug-ins-drm-crosspoint-readerNew plugin support for CrossPoint Reader lets Xteink’s devices access DRM-protected ebooks. One of the big tradeoffs with Xteink's pocket-friendly e-readers is a lack of easy access to ebooks. On a Kindle or Kobo you can download tens of thousands of titles through each device's respective online bookstores, but with Xteink's devices you have to source DRM-free ebooks on your own.

Show HN: An agent engine with no SDK, just TOML and webhookshttps://substructure.ai/I was looking for a way to add AI agents to multiple systems that I maintain.I had a few requirements:- I work in multiple programming languages, so it needs to work for all of them.- I can control how tools access my system.- I can override the agent loop to try different patterns.- I can iterate on the loop without handling durability, streaming, and the rest of the nitty gritty.- I can iterate locally before deploying.- I can self host.Nothing existed that worked across programming languages, so I built it.It's not an SDK. It's a server that handles durability, streaming, MCP connections, LLM calls and connecting to channels like Slack.You can override every single step of the agent loop by handling a webhook.But you don't have to override anything, you don't even need to handle the webhook. You can define the agent in a TOML file and chat with your agent via Slack in minutes.Point it at your backend to receive a webhook at every decision point. The engine sends the current step and

Show HN: ProbeDeck an iOS app for ClickHouse incident triagehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49286299As a backend developer dealing with heavy applications, I run a ClickHouse node with 3.42 TB compressed and 19.10 TB uncompressed amongst its active components. I built ProbeDeck to run some operations on a cluster, inspect a cluster, and read some system logs on my iPhone or iPad with no laptop.The application presents some system tables as screens for running a query, replica state, storage pressure, and mutations. It pulls some stats from the system.metric_log table and shows 0 when that table is not active. One can inspect the system and decide if they want to execute KILL QUERY or KILL MUTATION. Those screens have a confirmation screen. While working with destructive SQL in the editor, a confirmation is needed and is type-safe.The app sends ClickHouse requests via HTTP or HTTPS to the ClickHouse server, or via one SSH bastion if a single SSH hop is needed. ProbeDeck does not proxy requests for a database. It stores passwords, SSH private keys, TLS client certificates, and the secr

Show HN: Stackdome – An open source self-hostable Railway alternative on K8shttps://stackdome.comHello Hacker News, this is Ashish.We started building Stackdome in 2024 as a hobby project. The idea was to package the tooling in the CNCF/cloud-native ecosystem into an opinionated platform, so that developers can get a well engineered platform without learning Kubernetes YAMLology or a dozen other projects from the CNCF landscape.Railway and Render did this well for their hosted products. I wanted to bring that level of polish and DX to something you can self-host. Stackdome uses Kubernetes underneath, but it's completely transparent to users. (I have some ideas for an expert mode that exposes more of the bells and whistles.)My day job involves working with cloud native technologies, and it made me appreciate how much is already solved by Kubernetes and the tooling around it. If you are already running Kubernetes, Stackdome is something you can adopt incrementally. (I have some ideas around adopting already-running workloads.)Features:- First class support for multi-service applicat

Show HN: Read it easy – Read-only code editor with an improved Go to Definitionhttps://www.readiteasy.app/I built a desktop app that improves the UI/UX for reading source code . Code editors/IDEs have many features, but I didn't make the best use of them when reading the source code. So, I designed the app by picking up some features for source code reading. It is read-only because it is intended to focus users on reading. Switching from your favorite code editor or IDE to the app can help with context switching from coding to code reading. I wonder if this context switch can help people focus on reading.One of the features I designed specifically for this app is "Animated Go to Definition," which works by double-clicking a function name in the code and is designed around some principles I use when reading code. This feature exactly embodies the ideas and concepts of this app. Now, Animated Go to Definition supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, and C#.AI empowers documentation in software development, but it does not always eliminate the need to read source code.

Show HN: I built a life planner that has only "one page"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49282537I spent 5 years working a f*cking to-do app and being a loser. Here's what I learnt.Life planners don't work if they're too simple (e.g. Apple Notes for everything). They also don't work if they're too complicated (e.g. Notion templates).They must be adequate, such as having basic fucking hierarchy where you can have tasks and sub-tasks. They must also be centralized, because reminders don't fucking work if I can't see them because they're hidden in 5 different places.The resultant version is https://beta.actions.life. It's free forever for early beta users, and you can try it without going through some bullshit sign-up flow.I hope you can tell me what's good and what's shit about the app, so I can make it better for you. Thanks.

Ask HN: Why Connected Home Appliances?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49278761Asking for a magazine writer for a feature story about "IoT" connected home appliances. The primary question behind this feature is: “I have to now use an app to operate my washing machine. Why?!”The feature explores why this is happening, what technology is behind that, and how this trend (?) might evolve as consumers increasingly complain about app overwhelm.Any pointers to details on how these systems work would be welcome. If you have worked on any of the underlying software, the writer would love to interview you or communicate via email. They have given me some questions they are hoping to answer (see first comment below). Thanks!

Show HN: Tmux-agent-switcher: see which Claude/Codex agents need your attentionhttps://github.com/Ymirke/tmux-agent-switcherSince the start of this year I've coded pretty much exclusively by running multiple AI agents in parallel.Having tried a bunch of tools for managing them, I kept coming back to tmux. This is becaues I want to run them on a separate machine as I like being able to close my laptop, or even have long running tasks continue even if I board a flight without WiFi.So I built tmux-agent-switcher, a tmux plugin that gives me a better overview of all of them without replacing tmux as the core tech for managing processes on the server.Ctrl+n opens a sidebar showing windows across all sessions. The sidebar shows the agent's state as icons. After selecting an Idle session it also checkmarks it, so you get indicator if you've seen it or not. It also has Vim and "number-based" navigation styles.I didn't want to make a wrapper that would own how agents are launched, so I still run claude or codex normally. The plugin passively looks at tmux metadata, and visible terminal output to infer the agent stat
