Show HN: Slate – agentic pre-production studio for solo Youtubershttps://useslate.app/I built slate as a personal tool to centralize my strategy, research, scripting, thumbnails and shots in one place. Started showing it to other youtubers and that made me wonder if more people could have the same problem as me.Here's a quick walkthrough: https://youtu.be/7Ml5dVcFFdsI've been doing Youtube videos since I was a teenager. There's so many work before even recording: researching what's working in your niche, finding outliers worth studying, obsessing over titles and thumbnails that will earn you the click, writing scripts that actually hold viewers attention and somehow keeping your B-roll from turning into a mess.Big channels hire teams for this. Solo creators struggle juggling dozens of tabs, google docs and notion templates.I'd love to hear for feedback.May 8, 2026 2:28 PM

Show HN: An OTel exporter that posts the cause to your incident channelhttps://incidentary.com/Hi HN, Ahmed here. If you already run an OpenTelemetry collector, this is the entire install: exporters: otlp/incidentary: endpoint: api.incidentary.com:4317 headers: authorization: "Bearer ${INCIDENTARY_API_KEY}" service: pipelines: traces: exporters: [otlp/incidentary] What it does: when an alert fires (PagerDuty, OpsGenie, a Slack command, or a direct webhook), it takes the trace data your services already emitted in the window around the alert and assembles a causal chain like "service-A's HTTP call to service-B returned 503 at 14:22:03; service-B was timing out on Redis; Redis primary was failing over." That artifact lands in the incident channel before the war room fills up.I built this because every incident I was on opened the same way: a team of engineers opening different tools and coming up with different theories. Datadog had the trace data, Sentry had the errors, Slack had the channel, PagerDuty fired the alert. Nothing stitched them into "what failed first, and what calleMay 8, 2026 12:11 AM
mysigner.dev
Show HN: MySigner – Ship iOS and Android apps with one commandhttps://mysigner.dev/I built MySigner because every mobile release meant juggling Xcode, Fastlane, App Store Connect, the Play Console, plus a $200/mo ASO tool and another for reviews. Five things. I wanted one command.So the main piece is `mysigner ship appstore`. It builds, signs, uploads, waits for Apple's processing, then submits for review. Same idea for Android: `mysigner ship play-production`. It figures out what kind of project you have on its own (native, React Native, Flutter, Capacitor, Expo). No config file unless your setup is weird.The dashboard does the rest in one place. Screenshot Studio with device frames and translated captions for 30 locales, keyword tracking, reviews from both stores in one inbox, analytics synced daily from ASC and Play.On trust because I know this matters: the build runs on your machine, not mine. Your Apple cert and provisioning profile decrypt only inside your local build, my servers never see them in the clear. Credentials at rest are AES-256. Hosted on Hetzner USMay 7, 2026 2:41 PM

Show HN: Looties – a marketplace for tech swag fanshttps://looties.io/Hi HN,I'm Quentin, and I built something called Looties. Think Vinted, but for developers. It's a peer-to-peer marketplace where you can list and resell tech/company and conference swag. Hoodies, stickers, mugs, caps, onboarding kits… the stuff we all accumulate over the years.This started pretty personally.I've spent ~10 years in tech, the last 6 working closely with developer tools companies. Every onboarding, every offsite, every conference... I grabbed the swag. I'm a nerd at heart (gaming, DnD, the whole thing), so I genuinely liked that stuff. My laptop was covered in stickers. I now use a computer case to collect them and swap it based on my mood.Honestly, there's something weirdly powerful about wearing merch from a company or ecosystem you admire. It's not just cotton. It's signaling. Belonging. "I'm part of this world." That's why I'm so attached to my K8S sweatshirt.Then I left Strapi, and suddenly I had collector stuff from a brand I still liked… but wasn't part of anymore.May 6, 2026 7:22 PM

Show HN: I built a skill, grounded in research, to make your writing less boringhttps://github.com/ericfitz/skills/blob/main/boring/README.mdMy job at a large tech company requires me to write. A lot. Mainly I write docs to help align technical people on a technical strategy, or to inform executives about technical matters, or to make requests of executives about technical proposals.I wanted to ensure that my writing was captivating and that the audience didn't just read the summary and skip the rest.I used a chat agent to build a research report on the academic literature about what makes writing boring or not-boring ("not-boring" is NOT the same thing as "interesting"). I synthesized that into a taxonomy, and built tooling for mechanistic analysis and prompts for LLM analysis, synthesis and recommendation.What this is: research-grounded analysis of a document with concrete evidence-based suggestions of how to improve it.What this is NOT: it's not a simplistic prompt "Help me make my document better" or even "make every section/paragraph/sentence earn its place".

Ask HN: How do you pilot a service company full of AI agents?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48026033I've been running my small service company (marketing agency) with a ton of AI agents for a few months now. Got NanoClaw running (OpenClaw-like) with custom automations, tools connected, agents doing some work for me. It's amazing when it works.But there's a missing piece i can't find, at the cross road between interface and AI backend.A single Slack/Telegram doesn't work when you're on 10 topics at the same times. Terminal is great but has no memory. Nothing works if you actually want to pilot your company with agents.In an ideal words i would need to approve tasks the AI is suggesting, run benchmarks on new automations and skills, navigate my knowledge, manage who on my team can trigger what, access what, and have everything running on my claude code subscription (ofc haha)What I'm missing feels like a desktop app, part cockpit, part Obsidian, part approval queue, part agent manager, part team dashboard, part kanban boardIs this already being built somewhere?

Show HN: SecretEnv – Run any process with secrets from all your backendshttps://github.com/TechAlchemistX/secretenvHi Guys,I built SecretEnv to help solve one common thing that I have seen at every org, that I have worked at.We always had more than one password/credential manager. Service tokens maybe in Vault, AWS SSM etc and some team specific service account or temp account credentials being store in another password store such as 1Password or Keeper, there was never one single credential store.This is where SecretEnv comes in play, it runs any command with secrets injected as env vars, sourced from whatever combination of backend your team already uses.I am sure there are other tools as well that do a similar thing, which is run a command and inject secret. However SecretEnv does one thing differently.The key idea is separating two items which are most of the time combined. Think of SecretEnv's resolution structure like an Address Book.- Your repo gets a secretenv.toml file which has labels in there as values against ENV Vars. These can be literally anything. DB_URL, STRIPE_KEY whatever.- You hMay 5, 2026 4:15 PM

Show HN: Airbyte Agents – context for agents across multiple data sourceshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48023496I’m Michel, co-founder and CEO of Airbyte (https://airbyte.com/). We’ve spent the last six years building data connectors. Today we're launching Airbyte Agents (https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/), a unified data layer for agents to discover information and take action across operational systems.Here’s a quick walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZosDytyf1fgAs agents move into real workflows, they need access to more tools (e.g. Slack, Salesforce, Linear). That means a ton of API plumbing: authentication, pagination, filters, handling schema, and matching entities across systems.Most MCPs don’t fix this. They’re thin wrappers over APIs, so agents inherit their weak primitives and still get it wrong most of the time, especially when working across tools.An even deeper issue is that APIs assume you already know what to query (think endpoints, Object IDs, fields), whereas agents usually start one step earlier: they need first to discover what matters before they can even start reMay 5, 2026 3:03 PM

My co-founder Mahmood and I have spent the past few months building Rizq, a financial platform for Pakistani freelancers.After speaking with 50+ freelancers, we saw a clear gap: despite issues like high fees and account freezes, many still rely on Payoneer because no alternative offers the same experience. Most end up juggling multiple tools just to make it work. Existing solutions focus a lot on USD accounts but we want to go a step further and offer invoice tooling and getting the details right for freelancers.Rizq aims to simplify everything into one platform with lower fees.What we’re building:- Virtual USD accounts- Payment links for clients- Virtual cards- P2P transfers- Access to global stocks & ETFsWe’re still early, but the waitlist is live.

Show HN: A marketplace for LLM-powered webapps earning on token marginshttps://codeplusequalsai.com/dashboardHi everyone,I've encountered two major problems while building AI-powered sites: 1) Most agentic tooling doesn't have a enough of a targeted approach to edits to existing files, and will make extraneous edits, 2) Many users will want to try things casually but not spend on each LLM-powered webapp they want to use.The first problem of targeting edits was a much bigger issue previously, where, before agents, ChatGPT would just delete a chuck of code and replace it with `// existing code goes here`. Simply editing existing files was a pain. This is mostly solved now as Cursor et al. do a much better job by replacing specific lines and such. However, they still go off the rails a lot (especially gemini cli I've noticed) and make unnecessary and unwanted changes.I'm hoping to solve that by using my Abstract Syntax Tree approach: when editing a file, the LLM is actually instructed to write code that will modify the data structure backing the source text, rather than the source text itself.
