Show HN: Sagorax, a Three.js/WebGPU Arena Shooter in the Browserhttps://sagorax.com/I built Sagorax because I missed the speed and simplicity of UT99 and UT2k4. It now has both Instagib and classic weapons Deathmatch with plasma combos, flak, shotguns, charged rocket salvos, loadouts, adrenaline abilities, tactical bots and full controller support.No installation, just pick a gamertag and play: https://sagorax.comThe client is built with TypeScript, Three.js and WebGPU. Under the hood it uses FSR 3-based upscaling, adaptive dynamic resolution, GPU pipeline warmup, screen-space reflections, dynamic lighting and shadows, visibility culling and a custom post-processing pipeline.Multiplayer is next if there is enough interest (looking good so far).If you had told me a few months ago that this would be possible in a browser, I wouldn’t have believed you. But Opus 5 + GPT-5.6-Sol = GODMODE.Feedback is very welcome.

Show HN: Draco – A single-binary, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative in Rusthttps://github.com/0xchasercat/draco/Scraping modern websites has become a massive headache. You basically have two choices: pay for an expensive API like Firecrawl/Browserbase, or run a fleet of headless Chrome instances that eat 1GB of RAM per page and still get blocked by Cloudflare.I built Draco to fix this. It’s a fast, single-binary web scraper written in Rust. You point it at a URL, and it spits out perfectly clean Markdown or structured JSON for LLMs.The secret sauce is that it doesn't just boot a browser for every request. It uses a tiered escalation engine:Tier 1 (Stealth Fetch): Draco uses a custom TLS/JA4 fingerprint to perfectly mimic a real browser's network signature at the packet level. It turns out a lot of anti-bot walls will let you right through if your handshake looks correct. In my benchmarks against sites like Cloudflare and Target, Playwright ate ~500MB of RAM and timed out. Draco bypassed them in under a second using just 20MB of RAM.Tier 2 (V8 Isolate): If it hits a React/Next.js SPA that needs r

Show HN: Open OneNote Viewer in Rusthttps://github.com/emsi/OneNoteViewerFor more than 15 years, I accumulated hundreds upon hundreds of notes in OneNote. I loved the application and still consider it one of the best and most distinctive note-taking tools available. Its free-form canvas supports a way of organizing information that Markdown-based tools simply cannot reproduce.The problem was that using OneNote became increasingly inconvenient for me. Microsoft never released a native Linux client, so I kept a Windows VM and later even a separate Windows small PC largely for OneNote. The OneNote Web Clipper for Firefox eventually stopped being supported, removing one of the ways I regularly captured information.The web version did not solve the problem. In particular, it could not search across all my notebooks at once. To find a note, I first had to remember which notebook contained it, which rather defeated the purpose of having a searchable archive. I also found the web application slow and substantially more limited than the desktop client.I looked at al

Starburst Galaxy Centaurus Ahttps://www.nasa.gov/image-article/starburst-galaxy-centaurus-a/In this July 6, 2026, image, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) reveals the nearby galaxy Centaurus A, exposing the dusty structures and hidden activity that shape this unusual system. Centaurus A is 11 million light-years away from Earth, relatively close in cosmic terms. Yet, unlike most nearby galaxies, it is very active, […]

Show HN: Data structures as containers – sample chapter from my Big O book [pdf]https://thebigobook.com/downloads/data-structures-sample-chapter.pdfI was a self taught software engineer that later went to grad school to get a masters in software engineering. What I learned along the way was that many of the intimidating subjects around algorithms and data structures were much simpler and less scary than I ever thought.My hope for this book is to try and help the self taught developers get on more equal footing with people who have a CS degree - at least the algorithms class - which I always thought was most important for interviews. Along the road, I realized Big O, logs, and algorithmic complexity weren't as confusing as I first thought. This book hopes to close the gap between self taught developers and formal CS knowledge - which often gave me imposter syndrome.The linked PDF is a complete chapter from the book about common data structures you'll encounter in javascript - and leaving out some of the data structures you may never see (like Linked Lists).Note - this is one chapter of the book that was published and is available o

The Cost of Seamlessnesshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49048352The Hidden Cost of Frictionless Technology Taotuner — 2026I recently asked an AI assistant for restaurant recommendations. It listed five places, complete with ratings, distance, and popular dishes. I picked one, went, had a fine meal. Later, when a friend asked what I'd eaten, I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant.The experience wasn't bad. It was frictionless. And it left almost no trace.We've built tools that eliminate the gap between want and satisfaction, question and answer, curiosity and resolution. We call it seamlessness. We've assumed it's progress. But the gap wasn't inefficiency — it was where memory, judgment, and understanding used to form.What if removing it is making us less capable?The Pattern This isn't just about restaurant recommendations. The same dynamic shows up across AI, therapy, cities, and education.Take AI assistants. The industry evaluates them on speed, accuracy, and satisfaction. Those metrics capture whether the tool works. They don't capture wh

Show HN: Cygnus – A fast, lightweight self-hostable serverless runtime and PaaShttps://cygnus.runI built Cygnus because of a long standing frustration with the compromises needed to be made when choosing a deployment option for web applications.The ecosystem is fragmented into a few distinct camps, each sacrificing user experience or runtime compatibility to balance isolation, startup latency, and their own profit margins.Docker: Heavier and slower because it has to supervise more than web apps. Paying overhead you don't need. MicroVM's: Good isolation, but huge maintenance surface area and substantial overhead. Great for untrusted code, overkill for your own apps. Workerd: Tries to dance around hardware isolation by enforcing an in-process V8 isolate model. Neutered runtime to prevent arbitrary syscall execution. Personally I still find the tradeoff worthwhile for their edge footprint, but I still find myself complaining about it from time to time. Vercel/Managed serverless: Delivers a great developer experience, uses microVM's which is good for compatibility but has a business m

Show HN: Rendi, an agent harness on Trigger.dev without spinning up a VMhttps://github.com/mcheemaa/rendiHi all,Rendi is a full agent harness that runs background jobs, schedules, a real browser, and email without you needing to spin up a virtual machine. I built it for the ClickHouse and Trigger.dev hackathon but honestly super excited on how it came out.If you look at my github I have been working on deploying agents for a decent time now but mainly by spinning up VMs on Hetzner or AWS. The one thing I still wasn't able to crack was how to make these agents per tenant yourself without buying a huge bare metal machine to create micro VMs or use third party VM providers, but I think with Trigger.dev and this work on Rendi I can easily provision these agents per tenant without having to deal with all things VMs and also cost is so low.I also spent a lot of time on the UI and the component library. I literally came up with a brand for my project before starting it up hehe. I have also been thinking a lot more towards accessible UIs specially since it makes an agents life a lot easier when b
