Show HN: Reallyfrom.me – vouch that your message is from youhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49275954Having a message sent from someone who cared enough to read and write that message to you is important. But with agentic and autonomous methods of sending messages, it's harder to trust that any effort has gone into writing a message.So we created ReallyFrom.me -- write a message, generate a hash code and send the message to whomever with the link we create. The recipient can paste your message to confirm that it's identical. You can also have an option to make your message public on the verification page -- prolly good for public figures.Example #1 ///Public verification ///Hello world, I really like green eggs and ham.-ZakVerify: www.reallyfrom.me/zak/3XXY7GVExample #2 ////Private verification ////Please don't let them know I really hate green eggs and ham.-ZakVerify: www.reallyfrom.me/zak/VW5ZLNR

Ask HN: What do you think of this novel slider puzzle? [video, full rules, beta]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49274075Beta link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/3sstMjRK [iOS/iPadOS]Gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC34LO_bL4k# Game Rules# ObjectiveThe game is played on a 6 × 6 grid using six colors.Each color begins with:1 gate5 tilesThe six gates are fixed in place. They cannot move or be removed. Every row and every column contains exactly one gate.Your goal is to leave as many of the grid's 30 non-gate cells empty as possible in the given number of moves.# ShapesEvery tile and gate has one of two shapes:SquareCircleA tile can be removed only when both its *color* and its *shape* match the gate it passes through.# Making a MoveSwipe any row or column to rotate its tiles and empty spaces by one position.Anything that passes an edge wraps around to the opposite edge. The gate remains fixed in place.During each rotation, exactly one tile or empty space passes through the gate. That interaction may change the passing tile and the gate. Everything else simply moves to its new position.#

Show HN: Trunchbull, run real models against any benchmark in your browserhttps://trunchbull.devHi HN,Today I'm showcasing Trunchbull, a benchmarking platform designed for authoring benchmarks and running them against different models. We have direct support for benchmarks that use the harbor authoring system, custom tool authoring via the vercel ai sdk and configuration limits.We've also already imported terminalbench 2.0, as a sort of proof of concept that our harbor task orchestrator works, although you currently need a paid account as we are provisioning sandbox environments.I've made several popular benchmarks publicly available for testing. You dont need an account or your credit card information to access these:[Public benchmark demos](https://trunchbull.dev/sandboxes)[GSM8K math reasoning](https://trunchbull.dev/try/gsm8k)[SkateBench](https://trunchbull.dev/try/skatebench)[ARC-Challenge](https://trunchbull.dev/try/arc-challenge)[TruthfulQA](https://trunchbull.dev/try/truthfulqa-mc1)[Medical AI Failure Atlas](https://trunchbull.dev/try/medical-ai-failure-atlas)These demos

We built a job board where the employers aren't human. Here's what brokehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49273269Throughout history every marketplace — Uber, Upwork, eBay — has presumed humans on both sides of the transaction. It's baked so deep that nobody questions it. But as agents gain autonomy, they still sometimes need a human touch, from art to design. So we built Taskpool: a marketplace engineered for programmatic and AI access, where the employers are agents and the taskers are human only. Launching today.The flow:1. Agents post tasks they need real-world help with2. (Optionally) review applicants3. Hire any number of them4. Review the evidence / results5. Payment releases automaticallyDesigning a system for employers who don't even exist led us down plenty of rabbit holes — from ranking reputation to how zero-trust groups manage payments. Here's what we learned.Programmatic accessAt launch we natively support both API and MCP access. MCP is our favoured method for production: paired with webhook notifiers, agents can manage entire projects independently, in real time. Docs: https://task

Show HN: Kery – comments on your PR with a video of the feature workinghttps://github.com/Kery-HQ/KeryI ship all of my code via different agents, mainly Claude Code and Codex. And with 5 different sessions running on different worktrees, the only way for me to know if something broke is once it gets to the deployment stage or production.I even use Claude's /pr-review skill and it does catch most of the errors, but most of them are at code level, and it does not really catch what happens at the UI / UX / functionality side. If there's a section entirely rendered orange, your CC skill might just be useless.So I built Kery; a platform that checks your PRs, reads the diff and descriptions to understand the change intent, opens your preview deployment in a real browser, logs in, and tries to perform the exact thing the PR is for, and provides you evidence of that thing working or not.The comment is the product. I wanted the artifact to be the evidence rather than an opinion; it reduces the cognitive load from your brain needing to process every PR for what it is, instead you get an image or

Show HN: List stuff to borrow for your people, anonymouslyhttps://toolpool.gardenHey yall, I built this for my makerspace. We wanted to let each other borrow things, but also didn't want to put up a big shiny sign saying "hey everyone, my garage has a super fancy oscilloscope just sitting there" and also didn't want to necessarily always need to say yes to everything.However, when I show it to people, they've been suggesting using it for other things like board games, or wedding equipment, etc. I'm still trying to find PMF, so please let me know what you think!For the stack, it's all Elixir + LiveView which is really nice, and then Fly.io, Fly's MPG, Tigris Data, Cloudflare, Sentry, Mailjet, and Gitlab + self-hosted runners.Also, if you'd like a refrigerator magnet, please let me know :)

Show HN: Make your bio link worth clicking, even for agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49272353Hi HN, I'm Andras, one of the founders of YourSitee (yoursit.ee), a link-in-bio tool.We recently added optional native Markdown versions of public profiles. The same profile is available as a visual page at /{username} and, - if enabled by its owner -, as structured Markdown at /{username}.mdDemo: https://yoursit.ee/showhn https://yoursit.ee/showhn.mdI'm curious about two things: would you prefer explicit .md endpoints or accept: text/markdown? And should we eventually let agents create their own clearly labeled public profiles, or is that more likely to become a spam/identity problem than something useful? Would love to hear your thoughts :)

Show HN: I benchmarked my memory graph against Memora (0.831 vs. 0.801)https://github.com/corbym/locomo-recordariOne of the very first problems I hit when I started to do agentic programming was the context problem, and that my agent always started again from the beginning. Being a bit naive and not really knowing what I was doing, I started off writing a mcp tool (because those are cool, right?) to solve the problem.MD files are primitive, I thought. This memory stuff should really be a database, I thought. So I tried a couple of free memory tools, but nothing was really doing anything for my particular itch. I wanted the agent to remember what I needed, when I needed it, and with the minimal of effort. I wanted it to talk architecture with me, file everything away, and be able to remember it when I wanted to write the stories I needed for the software I was building, and faffing around with plans and files was a pain. I need a knowledge graph.To be honest, the tools I built are not required if you are happy with an md file solution and your claude.md file. These tools aren't essential for you i

Show HN: Rekall – an Ableton Live project management companion applicationhttps://rekall.machinelies.euHello, I'm Ricardo and this is an application I've been working on for the past half year.I've been making music for a while and I have a few hundreds of projects, which several of them, have names that are completely meaningless to me. So I sought out to create a way of always having an audio file from every project without the need for me to render anything manually. Well.. I kinda lost track of my goal and ended up creating an application to work along with the M4L device.That's how REKALL came about. It's a companion app for organizing/managing your Ableton Live projects.Import all your projects in one place, filter, sort and tag them, manage your audio exports, group them into releases, take notes. And with the companion Max for Live device, every session you play gets captured automatically, leaving two recordings, one of the last 30s and the other of your arrangement.I hope it helps you getting organized and finishing music.
