Show HN: hnsubstacks – Browse only Substacks submitted to HNhttps://hnsubstacks.com/I made an HN clone that lists only Substacks posted here.- Why? Over the years, I've discovered some great blogs here, so I thought it would be nice to have a filter for them.- Why only Substacks then and not blogs more generally? Because it's easy to query for "substack.com" in the public HN Algolia API (see below). Plus, hnblogs was already taken :)- What about substacks on custom domains then? At the bottom of the page there is a form to submit a custom domain. The site attempts to auto-validate that it is a Substack. If that fails, it is marked for manual review (which I'll do every once in a while). Approved ones will be included in the results.- How? I use HN's Algolia API to fetch substack stories by searching for "substack.com" in the url. I do this via a CloudFlare worker that has 3 separate cron triggers: (1) fetches new stories every 10 minutes and saves them in a KV store. (2) runs 2 minutes after the first, computes hot stories from new ones by simulating HN's score algoriJul 7, 2026 2:31 PM

Show HN: I scratched my own itch by solving a niche Basecamp problemhttps://feedhammer.comFirst things first: On the landing page, click on the "demo" link below the Hero section to try it without jumping any hoops**I'm a long-time Basecamp user and satisfied with its overall functionality. Of course, there are many things that can be improved but that is not the point of this post.*Background*Basecamp lets users create "Projects". These projects are isolated workspaces that contain: members, todos, chat, files, message board, and calendar, etc. My issue was with the scattered calendars. Because I (and every other Basecamp user) creates a dedicated project for different scope of work, even if it is for the same client. For example, at any given time, I may have 4 projects for client-X and 3 projects for client-Y.*My pain point*I have experienced that most clients (especially the decision-makers) do not use Basecamp as often as we--the agency folks use it. They just use it when some reviews or comments are required or some file access.The clients organize their days in theirJul 7, 2026 2:17 PM

Show HN: Fast, native Mac file manager (filters, fuzzy find, 9 MB, no Electron)https://whimfiles.comMy Downloads folder had been left unkept for a really long time and cleaning it up using Finder was quite cumbersome. So I started creating a simple app to help me filter out and delete or move the files in the folder.It started out very basic and the filtering options genuinely helped me clean out the Downloads folder, then as I thought of more features I would like to see in a file manager I started to add them. Some of the features are:- Fuzzy go to folder/file where you only need to write a few letters of a full path, get suggestions and can jump to the correct path instantly - Hover over a file to preview an image or PDF without opening it - Dual-pane view and tabs that remember selected filters - Command palette to find actions fast - Batch rename (with regex support and presets for common operations), image conversion (HEIC/WebP/AVIF to JPG/PNG), zip creation - Bookmarks, Quick Look, single-click open, keyboard controlAnd many other small quality of life features.I used Claude CJul 7, 2026 8:12 AM

Show HN: Aestheticscience.net – A website for rating academic papershttps://aestheticscience.net/Hi all, I made a website similar to Rateyourmusic or Letterboxd for rating and cataloguing academic papers, as well as any other writing on the internet. This website was inspired by a very particular moment during a journal club where a professor I used to work for revealed he categorizes all papers he reads with a numerical rating, immediately leading the entire room to ask what were his five star papers.What is your favorite academic paper? I made this website because I want everyone to tell me what their favorite paper is, and I am not aware of a website that exists which facilitates this RYM-like experience. You could argue it is anti-scientific to allow anyone to put a paper on some arbitrary scale, but this is my response to a point in intellectual history where it is easier than ever to create analyses and papers which are technically true and correct but feel utterly meaningless. I would like to find papers which are not only technically correct but deeply moving and beautifulJul 6, 2026 9:54 PM

Webb reveals millions of stars in nearby galaxyhttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_reveals_millions_of_stars_in_nearby_galaxyIn new images from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to celebrate its fourth science anniversary, a familiar galaxy transforms into something far richer, and far more complex, than ever seen before. Webb’s unprecedented sensitivity across near- and mid-infrared wavelengths cuts through the thick lanes of dust that obscure Centaurus A’s centre in visible light, showing a densely packed tapestry of individual stars and an active, everchanging galaxy. These images mark four years of better-than-anticipated performance and successful science operations for the most powerful space telescope in history.Jul 6, 2026 4:00 PM

Show HN: PAI, a Linux-y personal-assistant for Machttps://www.whitematterlabs.ai/Hi HN!I've been spending the past month on PAI, a Linux-esque harness for a personal assistant AI for your Mac. Instead of giving a chatbot a bunch of tools, I wanted to just drop the LLM into a terminal and see how it'd fare.I've been using it to manage my calendar, 5+ email accounts, and engaging with / responding to people in a timely manner (casus belli for this entire project).After seeing how other always-on assistants were designed, I thought the Unix / Linux philosophy of system design could be applied to AI harnesses, and I wanted to experiment with how it'd hold up compared to them. So, I built PAI with the following things in mind:1. Engaging "code mode" in the LLM (LLMs are natural SDEs / SysAdmins) - If you remember the [code mode](https://blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode/) post from a while ago, I wanted to try and utilize those capabilities within the model for it to naturally interface with the harness rather than trying to load it up with a bunch of exposition.

Show HN: I hated how much my 12-year-old played Roblox, so we built our own FPShttps://cooked.houseI'm a father of two, 7 and 12. They are obsessed with Roblox, especially Rivals.Like a lot of parents, we did not love it. We tried the usual things: block it, limit it, set timers." It became a daily battle, a lose-lose situation.So I flipped the problem.Instead of fighting what they loved, I decided to lean into it, but with a twist.Why just play an FPS when you could build one together?My kids became the PMs. Claude and I became their engineer.I was shocked by how fast we moved. We picked a name, Cooked and started building.Get in. Lock in. Get cooked!In the first 3 hours, we had an actual FPS we could play together in the browser.Next day I invited my friend's two kids over. Suddenly, I had four PMs.We had 3 laptops, 1 iPad and 1 iPhone.So in 30mins we added mobile support and could play all 5 together.The kids would ask for features:"Can we have a rocket launcher that knocks people off the map?""The knife should stab faster when you hold it."I know almost nothing about FPS design,Jul 5, 2026 5:14 PM
