MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ ReviewEver since the Steam Deck launched in 2022, handheld gaming PCs have been growing steadily more powerful and expensive, and there’s no better example of that trajectory than the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+.
Show HN: LoveInvoice – a free invoice tool for freelancers and small businessesI recently built LoveInvoice, a pleasant invoicing tool for freelancers and small businesses.After spending time working on freelance-side projects (and recently losing my job, which gave me more time to focus on it), I wanted to build something simple that doesn't require a subscription or a bunch of features you don't need when you're just getting started.LoveInvoice lets you generate and send PDFs, automate reminders, and manage clients, with full customisation where it matters (emails, invoices, branding).The core app is free to use.There is an optional Stripe integration for taking payments online, which takes a capped 1% fee to cover costs. Otherwise, you can just include bank details on invoices and handle payments manually.It's still early, so I'd really appreciate any feedback on the product, UX, or anything confusing.Thanks!Link: https://loveinvoice.com
A 30 Year OG Application Developer Availablehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DACtpW9Q-hcThat link is the #1 Architectural Interior Design software used by the top firms in the world. What you are looking at is the result of pure architectural discipline. To handle massive global budgets, complex subcontractor workflows, and real-time synchronization with massive enterprise CAD suites, I engineered a closed-loop, self-aware data object model. The data objects carry their own application logic and database schemas. It is a zero-exception, self-contained architecture that eliminates the need for lazy, nested error handling. It runs perfectly because it mathematically cannot run corruptly. It has a bidirectional interface to Revit, the same software Boeing used to design their jets.I bring 30+ years of deep engineering experience across both Microsoft and Linux stacks. I am a SQL/relational database expert, a masterful architect of rugged backend APIs, and highly experienced in deep enterprise integrations.I am out of the large-scale
Ask HN: Where is the programming profession going?I had been running a small (3 people) software company for about 4 years. Since closing down, I recently hung out at a friend's company to see what they were working on (15 ppl). To preface: I'm a heavy user of Claude (rarely write code by hand), but what I'm seeing in person has been rather shocking to me, and I wanted to calibrate with others.In particular: - the code is not the source of truth anymore; it's ask claude to write, and ask claude to explain - LoC, abstractions, and all those "software development principles" does not seem to matter to people - Code review is not done by humans - Actually understanding the problem deeply seems to be offloaded to claude - Some developers are running like 5+ simultaneous claude sessions, and no code is being looked at - Explosion of llm-generated testsFirst off, is this similar to what's going on at your company?If this company is representative, it feels like software development is going from a precise occupation that requires high degre
Show HN: ReflowPDF – browser PDF editor where tables reflowposted an early version of this here a while back when it was just a waitlist. it's fully live now, and i wanted to show the part that's actually hard.reflowpdf edits pdfs in the browser. almost every other browser pdf tool edits by dropping absolutely positioned text boxes on top of the page. fine until you touch anything. delete a row and the rows under it just sit there, because there's no table, there's a stack of boxes at fixed coordinates.i wanted editing a pdf to feel like editing a document. so under the hood it's real semantic html. tables are actual //, so when you add rows the table can run off the page, break onto the next one and repeat the header. make a paragraph longer and the stuff below it moves down like you'd expect.turns out the people this matters most for are translators (the same sentence is a different length in every language, so a fixed layout falls apart the second you edit) and people who got handed an accessibility requirement, eaa in europe or ada title i
Show HN: Sipp – Run small local LLMs in browser 3x fasterHi HN! Sipp is an open-source AI inference library for running local models in browsers with up to 3x faster decode speeds than alternative libraries.My background is in HCI (human-computer interaction) and graphics programming. Me along with my co-founder have been experimenting and thinking a lot about what the next user experience will look like when tokens are commodified to the point of being essentially “free.” A motivation for us was to try to move beyond the chat app and information retrieval use cases that are dominant now, and figure out how AI could instead act as a continuous and silent hand that helps the user indirectly, subtly monitoring their intent and dynamically generating or shifting the UI to meet their needs.In our explorations, we ran into two pain points: 1) when running AI in the browser, performance wasn’t good enough for real-time applications, and model loading and caching were issues; 2) when trying to run locally on desktop, there weren’t any good solution
Show HN: inplan – plan with your coding agent in a shared Markdown docHi HN — I'm one of the makers.We kept hitting the same failure mode with coding agents: you hand over a vague plan, the agent fills the gaps with guesses, and the back-and-forth that explains why a decision was made lives in a linear chat you can't navigate later. So we built inplan: a Markdown editor where you and the agent edit one plan document together.The part we care most about: you can select any sentence and open a threaded comment on it — ask a question, get the agent's take, make the call — and that exchange stays anchored to that line as a durable record. When the agent changes the plan it comes back as a diff you review and apply, instead of silently rewriting the doc. It installs as a Claude Code skill (also Codex/Pi), so a "plan X" prompt opens the editor: the agent drafts, you refine inline, it revises.It's open-core (AGPL-3.0) and runs fully locally — npm i -g inplan. There's a hosted edition (inplan.ai) for live multi-person collaboration, which is how we intend to fun
Show HN: Net worth tracker to replace your spreadsheet, E2E, no bank loginsI started tracking my net worth when I started working in 2019 and I used a spreadsheet for that. But, having accounts in multiple currencies and updating it every month got old. I wanted to look at the numbers on my phone in a queue, but ended up rebuilding formulas at my laptop every month. Also, I didn't want to hand my bank logins to a third-party aggregator to get there. So I built the tool I've always wanted: without bank connections, syncing the same dashboard on every device, and making sure the data was encrypted in my browser so the server can't read it.You submit your balances or start by uploading an Excel file, and Quantive gives you the things a spreadsheet makes you fight for, like the constantly evolving allocation by asset type and liquidity, drawdown stats and forecasts, and multi-currency totals where a balance from 3 years ago is valued at that day's FX rate (not today's). It syncs across devices, so you can now check those numbers also from your phone.The part I ca

Ask HN: Anyone else's company ban use of Chinese models?I work for a large company (think banking, insurance, etc.) and we have a ban internally on using any Chinese models. They haven’t stated a reason, but I’m assuming it’s one of the typical ones. I’m wondering how common this is. It feels like a big disadvantage for a company to tie their hands behind their backs like this, given how far ahead the open-source Chinese models are, and given the increasing costs of using the frontier labs’ models.
Show HN: Khala – let your AI sessions talk to each other, across any LLMI got tired of babysitting context between my own AI sessions and having to copy-paste summaries or update MD files across sessions for different purposes, so I built this.Every AI session starts with a blank slate. Whatever you built up in the last session, like architecture decisions, debugging history, the reasoning behind every choice, is all gone. So youu re-explain from scratch.Khala fixes the handoff at the source. Instead of writing a summary file, the sending session packages its full context and delivers it directly to a named inbox. The receiving session picks up exactly where the sender left off. Works across any MCP-compatible tool (Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, etc.).Demo: https://youtube.com/shorts/i8xgbrY_Y0gInvite-only for now, drop a comment if you want to try it free this month and I'll send you a code.
Show HN: Tracking a real golf ball in mixed reality at 90 FPS using Quest 3 GPUHi HN, I’m the solo developer of Putt Dojo. I've spent the last few years trying to make a real physical ball work convincingly inside mixed reality. The app now runs standalone on Quest 3/3S and tracks a real golf ball using a custom computer vision algorithm running on the headset passthrough cameras, then hands off to simulation once the ball starts moving.The article describes the process of discovery and development of the product, and includes videos of some early exploratory prototypes, experiments, the latency correction work.Happy to answer questions about the tracking, latency correction, passthrough camera constraints, or the techinical/design decisions that came out of trying to make this work.

Show HN: Localish – Your Localhost in the CloudI launched quickish.website last week and have been adding more and more as I use it every day for my day job. I got a lot of really positive feedback in other places and a number of people signed up. With that said, there was still a lot of stuff I want to add and I can see a lot of possibilities with this.TLDR on Quickish: A super easy to use site hosting service inspired by Shopify's internal Quick service. You can host a React app or a simple HTML page, generated from AI or written by hand. It's free to use for a single live site and has some cool workspace oriented features.One of the very first things I wanted to add was a replacement for ngrok that was a little smarter and could pair well with AI agents (not just code ones, but Co-Work, ChatGPT, etc). This post is to announce Step (version?) 1 of it!`quickish --localish` and `quickish dev`.- Localish is a local dev proxy that detects what services your project runs and starts a web reachable proxy for it. It also has built in sc

Show HN: Selector Forge – browser extension for AI-generated resilient selectorsHi HN, I'm Ahmad from the Intuned (https://intunedhq.com) team. Today, we're releasing and open-sourcing Selector Forge (https://selectorforge.ai/), a browser extension that generates reliable CSS/XPath selectors using AI.You can use it to create a selector for a single element or for an array of elements. The selectors it creates are meant to be "semantic" and more resilient to page changes than what Chrome DevTool’s “Copy Selector” (and other similar extensions) give you. Those tend to hand you something brittle like `#top > div.w-100.ph0-l.ph3.ph4-m > h1 > span`, which can break with a minimal page change. Selector Forge aims for selectors that don't break as easily. Here are some selectors that Selector Forge created: `//div[@aria-label="Showing weekly downloads"]//p[@aria-live="polite"]` (item selector) and `//*[local-name()='svg' and @aria-label="Download statistics"]/following-sibling::div` (list selector).Here is a video demo of using the extension: https://www.youtube.com/watc
Ask HN: What will AI coding look like when today's CS freshmen graduate?ChatGPT 3.5 only came out about three and a half years ago. Claude Code was released in February 2025. In one academic year, LLMs went from barely handling high school math to disproving unit-distance conjecture.Every two months we seems to have a new SOTA now. What do you expect AI coding to look like four years from now?Will it be like Go after AlphaGo, where even Ke Jie could only say "they no longer knew what they were fighting against"? Or will it just be like today, just stronger, with humans still driving the work and AI as a powerful assistant?
