Show HN: Hearth – a shared family workspace where an agent can build appshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49292004Hi HN — I built Hearth for my family: https://ourhearth.aiHearth is a shared workspace for a household. We use it for plans, notes, schedules, people, and recurring family rituals, with an AI agent that can work across that context. Kind of like a shared Obsidian with an agent.The cool part is that the agent can also build apps on top of the family's notes and run them inside the same workspace. We have a calendar and a travel app, for instance, and all the apps I use to manage my company's operations are in another Hearth.Hearth is built on Playground, a library we're developing for building collaborative AI coding harnesses. The common primitives are synchronized files, agents, people, app code sandboxing, and a policy layer. Hearth is the family-scale example; we're building Bear for construction projects using the same library.Hearth is beta software! We designed it with isolation and least-privilege in mind, but I recommend that you don't put anything too sensitive in there until Aug 13, 2026 9:18 PM

Show HN: LymeScribe – one computer on your network transcribes for the resthttps://transcribe.lymestack.com/Transcribed with LymeScribe just before posting this: "I realize it's a little bit late in the day to be posting on Hacker News. However, I've been looking at this frog for a good two weeks now, and F it, I'm just going to ship it. I've posted on Hacker News now like three or four times with little to no results. So if a tree falls in the woods..." (I censored the F word, but it transcribed just fine.)TL;DR: LymeScribe is local speech to text for Mac and Windows: dictate into any app, or drop in a recording and get a transcript with speaker labels, and nothing goes to a server you don't own. On a machine that can handle it, it all runs right there. On anything that can't, or anywhere you'd rather keep transcription in one place, one computer does the work for the rest of the network. Offices care about the second one, because the audio and the transcripts never leave hardware they control.This whole thing started as a command line program I built to transcribe and label speakers in audAug 13, 2026 6:18 PM
