Ask HN: What toolchains are people using for desktop app development in 2025?IMAGE

Ask HN: What toolchains are people using for desktop app development in 2025?I recently came across a comment [0] here that highlighted the challenges of building native desktop apps with LLMs. The commenter pointed out how scarce training resources have become—few blog posts, tutorials, or open-source projects exist compared to web or mobile development. They also noted that while desktop app development was a solid career path in the 90s, it's now seen as a dead end for most, outside of big players like Microsoft or Adobe.This got me thinking: My own experience with desktop development dates back to the late 90s using Turbo Pascal 6 in Delphi, and I'm out of the loop on modern practices. With the evolving landscape, I'm curious about what tools and workflows developers are actually using today.Some questions to spark discussion:- What programming languages and frameworks are popular for desktop apps? - Are there any go-to IDEs, build tools, or libraries that make development easier? - Do the above answers change if you care about code performance or efficienc

Marking 13 Years on Mars, NASA’s Curiosity Picks Up New SkillsNew capabilities allow the rover to do science with less energy from its batteries. Thirteen years since Curiosity landed on Mars, engineers are finding ways to make the NASA rover even more productive. The six-wheeled robot has been given more autonomy and the ability to multitask — improvements designed to make the most of Curiosity’s […]

The Prompt-Intent Gap: Why We're All Bad at Talking to AIIMAGE

The Prompt-Intent Gap: Why We're All Bad at Talking to AILast month, I watched my colleague spend 3 hours trying to get ChatGPT to write a simple technical blog post. He kept tweaking his prompts, adding details, removing details, changing tone. Nothing worked. That's when it hit me: we're all terrible at writing prompts, and we don't even realize it. The Hidden Problem Nobody Talks About Here's what I discovered after analyzing hundreds of prompts from our team: when we write prompts, our brains do this weird thing where we assume the AI knows what we know. We write "create a marketing strategy" when we really mean "create a B2B SaaS marketing strategy focusing on developer communities with a $10k monthly budget targeting series A startups." But it gets worse. Even when we try to be specific, we dump everything into one giant paragraph. No structure. Just a stream of consciousness that confuses any system. I tracked how much time our 15-person startup was losing to bad prompts: roughly 100+ hours per month of iterations and rewrites. The Ex

Show HN: Flowcus – Kanban Board for OmniFocus and Apple RemindersI've been an OmniFocus user for years but always felt something was missing – I could capture everything but couldn't see the bigger picture of my work. Traditional task managers are great at collection and to do lists but I think they don't solve the problem of visualising and managing work.*What It Does*Flowcus is a macOS app that visualises your OmniFocus, Apple Reminders & plain text tasks as a customisable Kanban board. It's not intended to replace your task managers, rather it enhances them by providing:- Visual workflow with customisable columns and swimlanes - Drag-and-drop task management that syncs back to your original task managers - Work-in-progress limits to prevent overcommitment - Eisenhower matrix view for prioritising important vs. urgent work - Ability to mark tasks as blocked and visualise dependencies - A unified view of tasks from multiple platforms - Throughput & ageing work metricsFor example, you might have research tasks in OmniFocus, meeting reminders in Appl

Show HN: Synapse – Multi-model AI combining LLMs and humans for marketing outputHey HN,I’m Zack, CEO at Averi AI, and we just released Synapse, a modular AI architecture we built to solve a problem we kept running into within the marketing ecosystem:“How do you get domain-specific intelligence without trying to recreate GPT-4 from scratch?”The ProblemMost domain-specific AI tools (marketing, legal, ops, etc.) tend to fall into one of three camps: Use GPT-4/Claude as-is and rely on prompt engineeringTrain a small model from scratch but lose general reasoningGo full frontier model… and burn millions tryingWe’ve considered all three. None hit the mark.Our Approach: Multi-Model + Human RoutingSynapse is our attempt at something better: A routing architecture that matches tasks with the best resource whether that’s an LLM, a smaller domain model, or a vetted human expertA way to balance specialization and scale, instead of choosing oneIt powers our own domain-specific foundation model (AGM-2), and integrates GPT-4, Claude, and others alongside it. Tasks get routed base
Has AI coding gone too far? I feel like I'm losing control of my own projectsIMAGE

Has AI coding gone too far? I feel like I'm losing control of my own projectsI wanted to share some thoughts on AI coding assistants that have been bothering me for a while, and I think the analogy of "a kid with a credit card" perfectly captures the danger of what some call "vibecoding." At least until we have true AGI, this feels like a serious issue.After using Cursor intensively for the better part of a year, I'm stunned by how fast it is. It can scaffold entire features, wire up components, and write complex logic in seconds. The feeling is like the difference between driving a car with a manual versus an automatic transmission. Or maybe, more accurately, like the difference between reading detailed documentation versus just watching a summary video.It's brought me back to when I first started using GitHub Copilot in 2023. Back then, it was mostly for autocompleting methods and providing in-context suggestions. That level of assistance felt just right. For more complex problems, I'd consciously switch contexts and ask a web-based AI like ChatGPT. I was sti

Spheres in the SandWritten by Andrew Shumway, Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Washington It is not common for a rover to spot nearly perfect spheres in the soil beneath its wheels. Over two decades ago, the Opportunity rover famously discovered spherules made of hematite (nicknamed “blueberries”) near its landing site in Meridiani Planum. More recently, the Perseverance […]

Show HN: A macOS clock that stays visible when coding or binging in fullscreenHave you ever wished you could see the time while coding or watching videos in fullscreen or when your menu bar is hidden? Corner Time is a minimalist macOS app designed for those who value a clean desktop but still want the clock to be always visible.Unlike other widgets or solutions, Corner Time sits unobtrusively in the corner of your screen as if it were a native part of macOS—even when you’re in fullscreen mode or using auto-hide for your menu bar. The app is highly customizable: you can choose your preferred date format, adjust the style, match your system language, and use it seamlessly across all your monitors.My personal use case is using it on my MacBook with TopNotch, along with always auto-hiding the menu bar and dock, to create a maximized, distraction-free workspace.Corner Time has quickly become a favorite among digital minimalists and power users. Many users describe it as a long-awaited solution, praising its simple but thoughtful design.Feedback and suggestions are we
