Show HN: Learn Leap, an AI tutor that teaches from your own materialhttps://learnleap.xyzI built Learn Leap because I found myself constantly asking ChatGPT questions while reading research papers. I wanted something that already understood what I was reading. With Learn Leap you can upload your own material and have an AI tutor teach directly from it. The tutor has full context on your material and can create quizzes, flashcards, and exams to test your understanding. It's still early and I'd love feedback from HN on the product and the learning experience. Cheers.Aug 22, 2026 8:07 AM

Show HN: Reverse-engineered a gaming mouse's HID protocol to bring it to Linuxhttps://github.com/blak0p/attack-shark-linuxI’ve been reverse-engineering the HID protocol of an Attack Shark X6 gaming mouse (no official Linux support) using Ghidra and USB captures, and building a native Linux desktop app around it in Go + Wails, with a React frontend.The protocol itself is fairly advanced. DPI, RGB lighting, polling rate and button remapping are all documented at the protocol level. The app currently only exposes DPI configuration though, the rest is reverse-engineered but not yet wired into the UI.One piece is still unsolved: the macro report isn’t captured yet, so there’s no macro editor. If you’ve done HID/USB reverse engineering before, I’d appreciate a hand there.There’s also plenty of non-reversing work: building out the RGB/polling/remap screens in the frontend, implementing what’s already known in the Go backend, or testing on other Attack Shark models (X3, R1, X11) that likely share the same dongle and protocol.Happy to answer questions about the protocol work or the architecture in the comments.Aug 22, 2026 7:47 AM

Ask HN: How to Claude Like Anthropichttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49396175I just received an email from Anthropic. Besides the usual new feature ad, there is a piece that I find quite amusing:> How to Claude like Anthropic> "My daily driver currently looks like: two lead agents that keep each other accountable and restart the other if either fails. These delegate to tech lead or PM agents for the 8-10 projects I'm running at any one time, and each project has 5-10 IC agents, generalists or specialists depending on the problem. Across all of these I'm still only doing 30-50 prompts per day, and my IC agents typically work autonomously for 2-3 days. About 60% of my interaction is with the leads, 35% with a project lead, and 5% is when something has gone off the rails. All of these agents communicate directly with the SendMessage tool."> – Daisy, Engineer on Claude CodeThis sounds very foreign to me because it couldn't be more different from how I use Claude Code.

Show HN: Anjadhe – privacy first AI assistant, no account, no server DBhttps://www.anjadhe.com/demoHi HN, I am Ram. For the last few months I have been building Anjadhe. It is a personal AI assistant for macOS. The main idea is simple: A macOS app where AI does the job of a personal assistant for the user. Not a chat only app where user needs to dig through chats to understand today’s schedule or a project they planned with the ai last week, but a canvas where the user and AI work together around basic tools.I started building this as DYI tool for myself, but at this point I see that its truly useful for me, so sharing with others to see if it can be useful to others too.Here is a quick Demo - https://www.anjadhe.com/demoWhat it can do today:- It reads your incoming email and files the important things: bills with due dates, renewals, receipts, deliveries. A bill becomes a task with a date, by itself. Two booking emails become one trip. - You set goals by talking to it, not by filling forms. It asks you questions, makes a plan with dated tasks. Later you can say "work got crazy, pusAug 22, 2026 2:12 AM

Show HN: Flight Ledger – Track your flights, what they cost, and United statushttps://app.flightledger.netHello HN,Flight Ledger is a private ledger of your flights, focused on (but not limited to) the United Airlines ecosystem. I am a physicist who has been based near two United hubs, first SFO and now IAH, and I fly United a lot, mostly for work.I built this app to track my flights, flight expenses, and Premier status qualification without having to log into various accounts. All the imports (such as MileagePlus activity csv, .eml receipts, or Flighty/myFlightRadar24 exports) and data filling are manual.A primary feature is that the app requires no sign-up and has no backend. Everything is stored locally, using SQLite and WebAssembly. This means that frequent back-ups are advisable to avoid losing data. For more robust backups and multi-device sync, the app also supports sync via Google Drive. I use this option for myself, but would be curious about other possible solutions.Perhaps the main features that differentiate it from other apps are that the app tracks costs and metrics like CPM Aug 22, 2026 1:08 AM
