Show HN: Sinain captures screen and audio in KG, shares it with agents/peershttps://anthillnet.github.io/sinain-hud/Sinain is an open source tool allowing you to capture screen and audio context into a local knowledge graph (optionally could be build utilizing only local models) which you can share with your agents (via MCP) or other users (peer-to-peer).Over the last months both my fleet of agents grew rapidly and I was getting more and more context from different sources, including videos, calls, chats. Feeding the inbound context into agents became more and more time-consuming, so together with my team we've built a tool to gather the context live and store it in an accessible manner for both humans and agents - so we can stop copy pasting things to the terminal.A summary of what is ready: - For now MacOS only, other platforms support is in development - Knowledge graph accessible via MCP, web UI, and is shareable - Current benchmark is 82.8% IPR on LongMemEval (ICLR 2025) - HUD overlay - ambient agent wrapper advising on your context, plugs in CC, Codex, Goose, Junie - Default mode needs an Open

Show HN: Embedded Spritesheet PNG Standardhttps://mccormick.cx/games/embedded-spritesheet-png-spec/Hi HN!2d spritesheets for game development are often distributed as a PNG image, sometimes with a separate JSON or XML metadata document describing the layout, including any animation sequences within the sheet. Sometimes there is no metadata document and you have to work it out and manually write custom code to chop up the spritesheet and reference the sprites you want.I think it would be good if it became standard practice to distribute spritesheet PNGs with the metadata inline inside a PNG "chunk" so the whole thing is self-contained. That way artists can just distribute one file, and tools and libraries can read the metadata directly from it. That's what this spec/standard is about.The linked page proposes a standard, describes the technique's details, and provides an online tool for inlining metadata into the sheet. Hope it's useful!

Show HN: Display.dev, agent-native way to publish HTML or MD behind company authhttps://display.dev/Last week's post from Thariq "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" went viral in X. He made a good point about HTML being the more expressive and human friendly alternative to markdown files. I completely buy in where he's coming from, I've been asking Claude Code to create me HTML files to better understand what we're planning and building together.What Thariq didn't address was the part of sharing and collaborating on these HTML artifacts (he proposed uploading to S3). While I've been heavy user of HTML artifacts to share quarterly plans, implementation specs, technical guides and more, it has been a challenge of sharing them with my teammates securely. Not all people in the company have GitHub access to see the markdown file. Slack and Google Drive don't render HTML.There's been no good solution today on the market, until now, which gives you tools for your agent to publish the HTML and MD files, gate the artifacts behind company SSO or OTP and collaborate with your teammates on

Show HN: GIF Pile. a site to make piles of GIFshttps://gifpile.com/I'm quite fond of obnoxious looking gifs in a post-ironic way as a manner of shitposting and or injecting humor into a chat. The issue with this however is that, for no real good reason at all, the simple usecase of "Have image/gif background, bombard with garbage" had no real good tooling.There's gif editors out there, EZgif my beloved is probably my most used non-search-indexing-slash-social-media-site, but they're kinda clunky for my specific usecase of making digital eye-sandpaper bombastic garbage. Other options are bleak and gave me the mark of the beast via shitty watermarks. I just wanted a pile of gifs on top of each other, and thus far the "easiest" way was to bust open a video editor, muck around with it, mess up exporting as a gif directly, get mad, export it as a 4 second mp4, and then use ffmpeg to get it working. is this probably moronic? yes. am I likely to have missed a decent tool? yes. Did I give up looking after sending 4 dollars to some Indian guy for "No watermark

Show HN: Fast, reliable MCP for LinkedIn, Uber, Venmo (r/w)https://candle.fiMy friend and I have built a tool that can replicate mobile app API traffic precisely. We then wrap the app’s functionality in a standardized API and route traffic through a local proxy running on your computer or phone, so your traffic can’t be fingerprinted.We’re building an open platform around these connections, starting with a macOS app y’all can try for free. It lets you securely log in to your accounts and then exposes an MCP with one-click install for Claude. We’re most excited about enabling “write” actions, for example asking Claude to:- automate your biz ops on LinkedIn - schedule a ride to the airport with Uber - settle up with your friends on Venmo

Ask HN: What's your experience with AI in hiring?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48111921"AI-native hiring" is just faster keyword/vector matching. Every atomic hiring step such as filtering applicants, moving to different stages involves, we will be dealing with 100s of judgement parameters before we take any action forward. What are we offloading to AI today? - just admin tasks or human judgements?- Sourcing and filtering are intensive human judgements operations. - Accepting applications, managing, organising, collaborating, outreach are most time admin consuming tasks in hiring pipeline.Simple ATS sass automates most of these things. AI is a great tool, but before fitting into hiring user flows where judgements >>> automations, we need to resolve on fundamental principle, AI-augmented judgment or AI-replaced judgment? Which you think is actually working well today for HR professionals? Has AI helped, or just added noise?

(We did a Launch HN last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45877517.) Today we’re launching Hopper, an agentic development environment for mainframes.You can download it here: https://www.hypercubic.ai/hopper, and you can also request access and immediately get a mainframe user account to play with.There's also a video runthrough at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q81L5DcfBvE.Mainframes still run a surprising amount of critical infrastructure: banking, payments, insurance, airlines, government programs, logistics, and core operations at large institutions. Many of these systems are decades old, but they continue to process enormous transaction volumes because they are reliable, secure, and deeply embedded into business operations.A lot of that software is written in COBOL and runs on IBM z/OS.

Show HN: MosaicQR – QR codes that double as pixel art of any simple imagehttps://mosaicqr.comI wanted to make a QR code for a separate business (a software company for MEP engineers) where the QR code itself looked like the logo. I found several tools online, but none that produced the result I was looking for.I made a tool that powers MosaicQR.com to achieve the balance of aesthetics and functional scanning that I wanted. This website generates QR codes where the module layout looks like the inputted image. The free version auto-fetches the favicon from any URL you enter.Curious what people think.

Right now I'm on the back-end/DevOps team - my teammates are all Senior Staff/Principal Engineer (one is almost double my age lol!) and we have a pretty standard tech stack (NodeJS, AWS, C++, etc) with 95% brownfield development at a large but not FAANG-like company. I've had my current job for >6 years and out of ~20 in our department I'm the third newest!I'd say I'm a pretty stereotypical engineer AKA "a total nerd" with private side projects mostly around implementing computational geometry or procedural simulation papers in Rust, sometimes working on a lil website tool we use daily.

Show HN: OpenGravity – A zero-install, BYOK vanilla JS clone of Antigravityhttps://github.com/ab-613/opengravityHi. I’m a high school student studying for my GCSEs. I was using Google Antigravity heavily for my side projects, but I kept hitting the usage limits, and getting random "agent terminated" errors. So I decided to try build my own version of the IDE. I love the UI, so I copied it as accurately as possible, and then hooked up some logic into it, including the INCREDIBLY finicky webcontainer api.I tried to keep it super lightweight, no build steps, or dependencies, and now that its open source, I'm hoping people can build things on top of it that arent possible with closed source tools, like complex custom agent workflows.Some screenshots: - https://github.com/ab-613/OpenGravity/blob/main/examples/scr... - https://github.com/ab-613/OpenGravity/blob/main/examples/htm...What it's made from:- Pure Vanilla JS: no react, vue, or build step.

Coding might go the way of woodworkinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48096572At one point well before the age of industrialization all furniture was hand crafted so to speak by trained artisans. As time went on they started working together in workshops, had more formal training processes through guilds and perhaps most important saw improved work flows through specialization, improved tooling and the use of ever more sophisticated jigs and templates.Industrialization took things to another lever. Mastery meant skill in using ever more complicated and industrialized machinery. Profit seeking behavior set the focus on automation, repeatability and perhaps most important reducing the skill necessary to do the job.Today nearly all furniture is made in factories using not wood but rather sawdust and wood particles glued and pressed together. The process is deskilled, if anything the skilled work is in designing, manufacturing and tuning the machines that make the furniture, not in making furniture itself.We still teach woodworking in schools, oddly enough though we

Show HN: Objo Studiohttps://objo.devObjo Studio is a new development environment for building desktop and command line apps. It has a visual designer, a debugger, a compiler, and a modern BASIC-like language called ObjoBasic. The aim is simple: make it enjoyable to build real applications for macOS, Windows and Linux and learn how to program.I've been working on Objo Studio in one shape or another since about 2019. I've always loved tools that let you move quickly from idea to working prototype and that abstract a lot of complexity and get out of your way. This has been tried before (VisualBasic, Xojo, etc) but have either been abandoned, become expensive or lost focus on hobbyists.The whole stack is written in C#. There's a custom stack-based VM that is roughly on-par with Python for speed but this is not a high performance tool. It's an all-in-one IDE for visually developing cross-platform desktop apps. It tries to make it simple for users, abstracting runtimes and libraries to help newcomers learn but also let them th

Show HN: I built an anonymous social platform after fighting with LinkedIn's APIhttps://discreetvoice.comHi folks,I would like to share with you a project I built, which took me about 2 months as a side project to build. I am a solo dev, and mostly not using AI for my projects, as I want to keep the craft and actually learn stuff, while I am building the software.The original idea was to build a tool, where I can provide a Linkedin link of a post or a comment and some text as an "anonymous" comment, the tool should take it and post it from some "hidden" account, as sometimes I feel I would like to comment under something but the idea that a lot of my colleagues and people who know me might react in a very different way, and it might have a weird consequences.After wrestling a while with Linkedin's API and it's super heavy limitations, I decided to give up on the idea and build an anonymous webapp instead, where people can bring anything from any other platform and feel free to discuss things openly without the fear of getting "caught" and bad consequences.The DescreetVoice is a privacy fi

Show HN: Super ISO Updaterhttps://github.com/JoshuaVandaele/SuperISOUpdaterI built Super ISO Updater (SISOU), a tool that keeps bootable ISOs on a Ventoy drive automatically updated.This project started a few years back because I got tired of manually checking for new releases of the various troubleshooting tools and installers I kept on my Ventoy drive.SISOU automates checking for updates, downloading them, verifying the downloads, and storing everything in a neatly-sorted directory structure.It’s open source (GPL-2.0-or-later), written in Python, and works on both Linux and Windows.One note: on Python 3.14, libtorrent currently needs to be installed through your system package manager (or built manually), since upstream hasn’t published on pypi yet. On Arch Linux, the package is libtorrent-rasterbar.I would love to hear what you think. You can try it out by installing `sisou` using pip/pipx/uv. Issues and PRs are welcome!
