Show HN: BRep Geometric CAD Kernel and Parametric Code CADhttps://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/I'm pretty excited to show off something I've been working on for the past few months. A free, open-source geometric kernel that allows humans/LLMs to write code (in this case, a DSL called Firmament) and generate 3D models of CAD parts, to finally provide an alternative to OpenCascade.To get some questions out of the way. - Full STEP import/export support for AP242, AP203 and AP214 are still experimental at the time, but everything produced by Aetheris should open in any CAD app with STEP support. - Support for single edge/planar fillets/chamfers right now, should be more than sufficient for most CNC/3D printing use cases. - Fillets: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Chamfers: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Supports dimensional/GD&T annotation via STEP 242's semantic PMI. - Kernel is written entirely in C#, with bindings for Go, Rust, Python, and TypeScript available.If you just want to vibe-CAD, clone the repo, run it

Show HN: Minna – On-device semantic search across your own documents (macOS)https://github.com/impel-intelligence/MinnaHi HN! Minna is a new tool geared towards people who have a knowledge base so big they forget where things are.- Chat answers are constrained to retrieved results. The model has to search your knowledge base first and cite the document it pulled from. It won't answer from outside your knowledge base which means you can trust the LLM instead of having to be weary about what it outputs. - Hybrid retrieval — BM25 over an inverted index for exact and keyword matches, plus a vector index for semantic matches, results are fused using Reciprocal Ranked Fusion. - Embeddings and inference both run on-device. Search uses bge-small-en and run on the neural engine. Chat uses Qwen3 4B running on MLX. - Search latency is ~12 ms across 250 documents split into 30,000 chunks on Apple Silicon.What’s not done; OCR scanning on PDFs is limited, the app is currently Apple Silicon only, and there are some rough edges in the UI.It’s a TestFlight beta (apologies, but it is the cleanest distribution path right

Show HN: A design skill that turn your feelings into UI and remembers ithttps://github.com/MonkeyUI-dev/vibe-to-uiShare a skill that I built for myself and friends. I don't have any design background as a PM and engineer. When I vibe coding, I said: "I want to make it feel like Stripe". My friend said: "More elegant, more Apple." LLM doesn't undserstand them well, for we don't know how to speak design words. I also found that I don't want to repeat or write lines of prompts to LLM. So here it is. tbh, I'm not sure if it is solving someone's urgent situation. UI usually would be P3/P4 compared to features, bugs, etc. Wish it could help someone. If so, pls leave comments, and I would be really happy and reward myself a bubble tea:)

Ask HN: What's the endgame of the AI comments buried in every post?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49362305A lot of submissions nowadays have a few LLM comments (whether directly written by an agent, or human with a LLM I don't know), often downvoted and sitting at the end of the comment section. No-one even bothers to call them out anymore, it's just part of the landscape. Just wondering why ? What's the point for these people ?

Show HN: MCP app for Android, drive apps via AI (no root, PII redacted locally)https://github.com/danielealbano/android-remote-control-mcp/Hi HN, author here.Android Remote Control MCP is an MCP server that runs directly on your Android phone (no root, no ADB, no computer in the middle) and lets an AI agent drive real apps the way a human would: it reads the screen through the accessibility tree, taps, types, scrolls, optionally also screenshots.I spent a lot of time optimizing tool usage and token consumption, and making it work not only via local harnesses but also via Claude.ai / Claude Desktop and chatgpt.com (if you have the proper account, the app acts as its own OAuth server, you approve connections with a code on the phone).The newest part is Privacy Mode, and it exists because after an earlier release someone told me in plain terms they'd never use it because, rightfully, they didn't want the LLM provider to see everything on their screen! So now a combination of a small local model plus deterministic detectors identify personal information (emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IBANs, national IDs, English names,

Show HN: Dotproject – The project state standard for AI agents and humanshttps://github.com/jasonnam/dotprojectWe are already getting too slow to micromanage agents on individual features.Trying to review and steer every tiny task is quickly becoming the main bottleneck. Managing at the milestone and goal level still feels like something humans can realistically keep up with—at least for now...I built the dotproject skill around this idea. Curious how others here are structuring agent workflows as execution speeds keep outpacing human oversight.Theoretically, once goals and milestones are defined and enough AI agents are attached, we should be able to track and drive progress toward them in real time.
