Show HN: Auctionnow.io – Launch a store to sell items via auction or buy-it-nowhttps://auctionnow.io/Hi HN - I'm Chris and my co-founder--Jacob--and I built a platform (https://auctionnow.io) that lets anyone launch an online store that lets you run real-time auctions and sell fixed priced items. Think of it like if Shopify and eBay had a baby.The idea for AuctionNow.io evolved from the comics and collectibles marketplace we built called Raremarq. With Raremarq, we noticed sellers were earning as much as 10x more with our auctions compared to other platforms like eBay, and we started getting requests from charities, content creators, TCG sellers, fashion designers, and a bunch more asking to use our tech for their own websites.So, we thought "what if we made an auction app for Shopify?". We launched this and it did well, but Shopify doesn’t let us auto charge auction winners, which was a new pain point we discovered. So, to get this really right we decided to turn our auction and ecommerce technology into a standalone platform in AuctionNow.io.The backend handles the complex parts of

Show HN: I improved my handwritten math OCR (now preserves derivations)https://www.useaxiomnotes.com/appI built this after almost losing a semester’s worth of handwritten math derivations.I was taking a Signals and Systems course and filling notebooks with Laplace transforms and long derivations. Before finals I tried digitizing them so I could search my notes.Everything failed.Most OCR tools can recognize the characters, but they destroy the structure that makes math readable:- aligned equations lose alignment - multi-step derivations collapse into paragraphs - numbered problems merge together - tables flatten into plain textSo I built *Axiom*.Instead of focusing only on transcription accuracy, it focuses on *preserving mathematical structure*.Upload a photo of handwritten STEM notes and it returns structured Markdown with real LaTeX — keeping aligned equations, derivation steps, and problem blocks intact.Under the hood it’s basically:image → vision model → structured Markdown + LaTeX → KaTeX renderMost of the work ended up being in *layout preservation*, not OCR.https://www.useaxiomnot

Show HN: Kasbah Guard – Free browser extension that catches secrets on GenAIhttps://bekasbah.com/Show HN: Kasbah Guard – Free browser extension that catches API keys before you leak themWe just launched Kasbah Guard, a free browser extension that detects and blocks 50+ secret formats (API keys, tokens, credentials, AWS keys, GitHub PATs, etc.) using ML entropy scoring + context filtering.It runs 100% locally in your browser (no server calls, no data collection). We built this because existing tools (like Snyk) only catch ~30 secret types, and regex-based detection has too many false positives.Key innovation: Naive Bayes multi-feature classifier that analyzes Shannon entropy, character transitions, bigram frequency, and context to distinguish real secrets from test fixtures and docstrings.Live on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari. All 5 browsers use identical detector.js (263+ tests passing).Happy to answer questions about the ML model, false positive suppression, or why we built this.https://bekasbah.com https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kasbah-guard/...Would love HN fe

Show HN: FirstVibe – AI analyzes your selfie and scores your vibe in 30 secondshttps://firstvibe.app/FirstVibe is an AI selfie analyzer that gives you a "vibe check" -- a personality and impression analysis based on your photo. Upload a selfie and get an overall score, personality label, 5 category scores (attractiveness, confidence, charisma, style, approachability), celebrity lookalike, aura type, dating energy, and a set of fun predictions and personalized improvement tips.It uses Claude's Vision API to read facial expressions, body language, styling choices, and overall energy from the photo. The difference from typical face-rating apps is that it focuses on personality and vibe rather than bone structure or symmetry (though it does golden ratio and face shape analysis too). The AI analyzes things like approachability, confidence level, conversation style, and what kind of first impression you make.Technical details: Rails 8, Hotwire/Turbo for real-time result streaming, PostgreSQL with JSONB for flexible AI output storage, Solid Queue for background jobs. Two Claude API calls run

Show HN: I packaged decade of video infra battle scars into tools for AI agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47249002Hi HN,I’m Ashu, founder of VideoDB. I’ve spent a big chunk of my life building video infrastructure. Not video creation. Video plumbing.The stuff you only learn after production breaks: timebases, VFR, keyframes, audio sync drift, container quirks, partial uploads, live streams, retries, backpressure, codecs, ffmpeg flags, cost blowups, and “why is this clip unseekable on one player but fine on another”.This week we shared VideoDB Skills, a skill pack that lets AI agents call those infra primitives directly, instead of you wiring pipelines with screenshots plus FFmpeg glue.Repo: https://github.com/video-db/skillsWhat it enables (infra level):- Ingest videos and live streams- Index and search moments- Return playable evidence links- Run server side edits and transforms- Trigger automations from video eventsWhy this matters for agents:Agents can reason, write code, browse. But continuous media is still mostly invisible. In an agentic world, perception needs to be a first class interface,

Open Memory Initiative (OMI) - an open DDR4 UDIMM reference designhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47248756Hi HN! I’m building the Open Memory Initiative (OMI): a community-driven engineering project to make system memory understandable, reproducible, and independently verifiable (not performance-leading, not commercial, not “competing with vendors”).A quick clarification upfront (based on earlier feedback): yes, JEDEC DDR/DIMM standards exist, and you can build/use memory controllers. My claim isn’t that DDR is unknowable. The gap I’m trying to close is that a complete, end-to-end, publicly reproducible DIMM module implementation (with explicit constraints, bring-up steps, and publishable validation evidence including failures) is still hard to find in one place, in a form others can rebuild without NDA/proprietary dependencies.OMI v1 target (intentionally narrow):DDR4 UDIMM reference design8 GB, single rank (1R)x8 DRAM devices, non-ECC (64-bit bus)Status:Stages 5–7 are complete/frozen (architecture decisions → block decomposition → full schematic + edge pin map integrity).We’re now in Sta

Google Account "Digital Execution" While Auditing a Chrome Store Vulnerabilityhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47248397A Digital Execution in Real-Time: The Last Seconds of NTT PrimeThe Manifesto“Hello world, I am NTT Prime.I am writing this as an analyst—one who lives and works with irrefutable evidence, charts, and data. I have prepared screenshots and the most detailed technical analysis to show you how dangerous the ‘Zombie Assets’ vulnerability is.But, I want to offer my sincere apologies: I failed before the deadline. Imagine you are a researcher pouring your heart and soul into an Audit Report to protect the community. You have absolute faith in the Google ecosystem. You click on a captcha solver downloaded directly from the official Chrome Web Store—a tool approved and endorsed by Google itself.And then, BAM! No delay. No review. The moment that click echoed, a cold, impersonal message appeared:‘Your account has been disabled.’I witnessed my digital identity being executed in an instant.

Gaia – open-source assistant that does for actions what ChatGPT did for answershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47247862Three years ago, finding information meant opening Google, clicking 4 links, reading, and piecing together an answer yourself. ChatGPT collapsed that into one step.We haven't had that moment for taking action yet. To set a recurring water reminder today, you still open your todo app, hit New Task, type it out, set a recurrence, and save. To block focus time, you open Calendar, find a slot, create an event, then update your Slack status separately. Every small action is a small tax. They add up to hours of invisible overhead every week.GAIA is our attempt at that shift. You tell it what you want done — or it acts before you have to ask.Gmail & Calendar "Summarise my unread emails and flag anything needing a reply" — runs every morning automatically. "Block 2 hours Thursday for deep work" → calendar event created, Slack status updated. "Draft a follow-up to anyone I haven't heard back from in 5 days" → drafted, waiting for your review.Slack & Notion "Turn the action items from today's st

Show HN: Focus Warden – Block sites, set time limits, and micro-learnhttps://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/focus-warden/chgkcjgkhgcajpndkpibgbpglempcegbI built Focus Warden, a Chrome extension for people who want more control over how they spend time online.The core features: - Block specific sites or entire categories (Social Media, News, Gaming) with one toggle - Set daily time limits per site — hard limits or soft limits with a snooze - Deep Focus mode that blocks everything except your whitelist; exiting early requires typing a custom phrase (default: "get distracted") - Micro-learning unlocks: earn extra time on a blocked site by completing a short learning resource you define yourself - Usage dashboard showing daily time spent per site - Global tab cap (default 20) to reduce tab hoardingEverything runs locally. No accounts, no servers, no analytics — your data never leaves your device.The micro-learning unlock was the feature I found most interesting to design. Rather than just punishing distraction, it gives you a productive off-ramp. You define the resource yourself, so it stays relevant to what you're actually trying to learn

Show HN: DailyStack – Aggregate your work tools into a 5-minute morning briefhttps://dailystack.ai/Hey HNI’m one of the founders of DailyStack.Like many of you, my workday used to start with a "tab crawl." I’d open Gmail, then Outlook for the corporate stuff, then scan Todoist, check the Linear board for dev tickets, and finally peek at Asana for the marketing syncs. By the time I actually knew what my day looked like, I’d already context-switched five times and lost the "deep work" window of my morning.We built DailyStack to solve this. It’s a single, high-signal brief that aggregates your day before you dive into the noise.How it worksWe currently support Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Todoist, Linear, and Asana. Instead of just giving you a long list of notifications, we pull the "delta" from the last 24 hours:Email: Highlights threads that actually need a reply vs. newsletters.Tasks: Correlates what you finished yesterday in Linear/Asana with what’s actually due today in Todoist.Calendar: A unified view across Google and Outlook so you don't double-book your life.The "No-Stora

Show HN: Spendtrace, Feature-level AWS cost attribution (found a 17× gap))https://github.com/Joshyi-Abini/SpendtraceLast year our Bedrock costs tripled in six weeks. AWS Cost Explorer told us "Amazon Bedrock: $4,200." That was the entire report. We had eight features using the model. We had no idea which one had changed. We spent two days correlating deployment timestamps with billing spikes before we found it. A caching bug in our recommendations feature was making three model calls where it should have made one. $2,800 of that bill was a single if-statement. I built spendtrace to make sure that never takes two days again. bash```bash pip install spendtrace ```python```python import spendtrace spendtrace.auto_instrument() # patches boto3, openai, anthropic at startupfrom spendtrace import cost_track@cost_track(feature="ai_recommendations") def recommend(user_id): items = dynamo.get_item(...) # captured response = bedrock.invoke_model(...) # captured return response ```That's the whole install.

Show HN: Agile died in a Jira board – we replaced sprints with flightshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47247408Over year ago, our engineering team ditched Scrum. Not because we read some contrarian blog post, but because we looked at our calendars and realized we spent more time talking about work than doing it. Standups that ran long. Grooming sessions nobody prepared for. Retros that concluded "we should have fewer meetings" and then we'd schedule a meeting to discuss that.We tried going process-free. That lasted a few weeks before leadership started asking "when does this ship?" and nobody had an answer.So we landed somewhere in the middle. It's called Flights - and it's not new; someone tried it back in 2021: https://simonhoiberg.medium.com/...The idea is dead simple: a project is a flight. It has a takeoff date, a landing date, and a captain who's responsible for getting it there. Tasks are crates loaded onto the flight. Team members are crew. People doing maintenance between flights are ground mechanics.That's it. No story points. No velocity charts. No burndown graphs that give everyone

Show HN: A .NET Web Framework on the Base .NET Core SDKhttps://github.com/WispFramework/WispI’ve been experimenting with building a web framework directly on top of the base .NET runtime without using the ASP.NET Web SDK.I'm calling it Wisp.The main motivation was frustration with some aspects of ASP.NET, especially the requirement to target the Web SDK instead of the base .NET SDK. That makes embedding small HTTP apps inside existing applications harder than it should be since it forces you to pollute your scope with the Web SDK.I also don't like CSHTML/Razor and wanted a more traditional templating language.Wisp is a relatively lightweight MVC framework built without any dependencies on the .NET Web SDK.Some highlights: - Runs on the base .NET SDK (no ASP.NET dependency) - Traditional MVC controllers - Dependency injection via Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection - Configuration via Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration - Templating via the Fluid engine (Liquid-compatible) It's still very alpha and definitely rough around the edges, but I've already built a few small appli
