Show HN: CSS primitives for product videos, no render pipelinehttps://www.aliveui.dev/video-blocksMost product demo videos are made in screen recorders or tools like Remotion that render frames to MP4. I wanted something different: drop a CSS class on any HTML element and get cinematic motion that's ready for a product video, entirely in the browser. AliveUI Video Blocks is a set of CSS utility classes for common video UI primitives: animated metric cards, toast notifications, typewriter text, kinetic typography, lower thirds, scene backgrounds (aurora, starfield, bokeh), device frames, 3D effects, and particle FX. The interesting technical bit: there's no render pipeline. Animations run as native CSS keyframes. A small runtime (~2KB) handles declarative scene sequencing via data attributes, restarts animations on scene activation via an offsetHeight reflow trick, and drives CSS transition classes between scenes. The tradeoff vs Remotion: you can't do frame-perfect programmatic video or export a standalone MP4 without a headless browser. What you get instead is instant playback, zeMar 23, 2026 10:57 AM

Ask HN: AI productivity gains – do you fire devs or build better products?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47475859i was rolling my eyes at the hype, but reading about this is totally different from experiencing it. if you have any old repos out there - try it, you might actually be amazed.i'm not sure i buy the long-term "*90% productivity*" claims for complex, legacy enterprise systems, but for the boilerplate, libraries, build-tools, and refactoring? the gain is gigantic. all the time-consuming, nerve-wrecking stuff is mostly taken care of.you start off checking every diff like a hawk, expecting it to break things, but honestly, soon you see it's not necessary most of the time. you just keep your IDE open and feed the "analyze code" output back into it. in java, telling it to "add checkstyle, run mvn verify and repair" works well enough that you can actually go grab a coffee instead of fighting linter warnings.the theory is that what remains is just the logic and ideas. we'll see how that holds up when the architecture gets genuinely tangled. but for now, letting it branch off, create boilerplatMar 22, 2026 9:37 AM

We Replaced Every Tool Claude Code Ships Withhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47468649Claude Code ships with Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Task, Plan. For a single agent on a single task, they're fine. Once you're running a multi-agent system, the defaults break fast.The problems we hit:1) No cross-repo exploration. Want an agent to read another project's code? You need to manually configure permissions. There's no "go explore this OSS repo and answer my question."2) Summarized web fetching. WebFetch is actually a subagent that summarizes a single page into a haiku-length response. Can't trace links or browse related pages. Fetches fresh every time — no caching.3) Text-level editing. Edit has fuzzy matching, which helps — but it's still raw text. When tree-sitter can give you an AST with named symbols, why make the model reproduce strings to target a function?4) Ephemeral tasks and plans. Tasks don't persist outside the session. Plans vanish when context resets. Neither supports multi-round review or structured editing.5) Flat delegation. The Agent toolMar 21, 2026 4:44 PM

Show HN: Built a crosslister (in PHP!) that supports Vinted (which has no API)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47427739FLUF Connect (fluf.io) lets resellers list a product once and push it to Depop, eBay, Vinted, Vestiaire Collective, Shopify, Facebook Marketplace, Temu, and Yaga with real-time inventory sync. Available as a web dashboard, Chrome extension, and mobile app (iOS + Android).The hard problem isn't the listing — it's the sync. When something sells on Depop at 2am, eBay and Vinted stock needs to update in seconds or the seller wakes up to overselling complaints and bad reviews.Some things I learned building this:- Marketplace APIs lie: Response formats change silently. Endpoints return 404 for reasons that have nothing to do with the item not existing. You can't trust the contract — you need fallbacks for everything.- Relisting matters more than listing: Resellers delete and re-post items to boost visibility in marketplace algorithms. The difference between random relisting and data-driven relisting is measurable in sales.- AI handles the heavy lifting: Take a photo, and AI generates the titMar 18, 2026 4:23 PM

Show HN: Lukan – An open-source agentic workstation in a single Rust binaryhttps://lukan.aiHi HN, I've been building Lukan, an open-source (MIT) agentic workstation that runs entirely as a single Rust binary with zero runtime dependencies. I started this because I wanted a unified workstation optimized for my own productivity. My goal was to build an environment where I could securely remote into my machine from anywhere, seamlessly view and modify local files, and run AI agents or drop into a terminal side-by-side, all integrated with a rich set of built-in tools. Here is what makes it different: Multi-agent sessions: Run multiple agents in parallel, each with its own isolated context and history. You can switch between them using tabs, resume after disconnects, and even rewind to previous checkpoints. Embedded terminal: A full tmux-backed terminal lives inside the Web and Desktop UI. Sessions survive page reloads and network drops. You can run any CLI tool alongside your agent (including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Lukan Cli, etc.).

Hubble unexpectedly catches comet breaking uphttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Hubble_unexpectedly_catches_comet_breaking_upComet K1, whose full name is Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), had just passed its closest approach to the Sun and was heading out of the Solar System. Though it had been intact just days before, K1 fragmented into at least four pieces while the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was watching.

Show HN: PingCRM – Open-source personal networking CRMhttps://github.com/sneg55/pingcrmHey HN,Robin Dunbar figured the human brain caps out at roughly 150 stable relationships. After that, people just fall off. Not because you stop caring, but because you can't track that many threads at once. I built PingCRM to push past that limit, not by making you remember more, but by handling the part you're bad at: noticing who's going cold and drafting something worth sending.CRMs exist, but they're built for sales teams. I wanted something for one person maintaining their own network. Specifically:(1) Pull in conversations I'm already having. Gmail threads, Telegram DMs, Twitter DMs, LinkedIn messages, no manual logging.(2) Tell me who's going cold. A relationship score (0–10) based on recency, frequency, reciprocity, and breadth of interaction.(3) Draft the message for me. Claude reads your conversation history, picks the right tone (formal vs. casual), and writes a follow-up that references why now is a good time, like a job change, a long silence, or a fundraising announcemenMar 18, 2026 10:33 AM
