Show HN: Liftstack – Snippet-level A/B testing for CRM marketershttps://www.liftstack.com/I've spent years in CRM and email marketing, and one thing has always driven me mad: the constant pressure from the business to "test everything" when you know damn well you'll never reach statistical significance.Most ESP's use frequentist models. You need a fixed sample size calculated upfront, you can't peek at results early without inflating your false positive rate, and if your list isn't massive, you're waiting weeks for a result that often comes back inconclusive anyway. So teams either ignore the statistics entirely and just pick whichever variant "looks better" after a day, or they stop testing altogether. Either way, you learn nothing.On top of that, the testing workflow itself is painful. You duplicate your entire template, change the one thing you want to test (a subject line, a hero image, a CTA), split your audience, send, and wait. Want to test two things at once? Now you need four template versions. Three things? Eight versions. It scales terribly, and most teams just dMar 5, 2026 3:18 PM

Ancient impact may explain moons contrasting sideshttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Ancient_impact_may_explain_moons_contrasting_sides_999.htmlTokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 05, 2026 For decades scientists have puzzled over why the moons two hemispheres look so different despite sharing a common origin in the early solar system. The near side that always faces Earth is dominated by dark flat volcanic plains called maria that create the familiar man in the moon pattern seen with the naked eye. In contrast the far side has a much thicker crust and appears as a rugged heaMar 5, 2026 9:54 AM

Ask HN: How are you structuring Markdown-based context for AI coding agents?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47231386I’ve recently transitioned from using LLMs in-browser to a local agentic workflow in VS Code (Gemini Code Assist). I can approve/disapprove changes which is nice, but I’ve hit a wall regarding context management. Initially, I provided all the whole repo as context to the non-agentic version of Gemini code assist and it performed well.I read the agentic mode is "better" so to keep the agent aligned with my project's architecture, I’ve manually built 7 dense Markdown files that serve as the system instructions for the project. I require Gemini to update these files as we implement features.gemini.md (instructs gemini to read the other md files and handle updating) project_overview.md, architecture.md, features.md, database.md, api.md, security.mdEach file is between 500–1,500 words so I’m concerned if f this is the right way to go. There seems to be no consensus on context file best practices. I’m seeing strong arguments for both minimalist, lean instructions and dense, project-wide specMar 3, 2026 12:29 PM

Launch HN: OctaPulse (YC W26) – Robotics and computer vision for fish farminghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47220320Hi HN! My name is Rohan and, together with Paul, I’m the co-founder of OctaPulse (https://www.tryoctapulse.com/). We’re building a robotics layer for seafood production, starting with automated fish inspection. We are currently deployed at our first production site with the largest trout producer in North America.You might be wondering how the heck we got into this with no background in aquaculture or the ocean industry. We are both from coastal communities. I am from Goa, India and Paul is from Malta and Puerto Rico. Seafood is deeply tied to both our cultures and communities. We saw firsthand the damage being done to our oceans and how wild fish stocks are being fished to near extinction. We also learned that fish is the main protein source for almost 55% of the world's population. Despite it not being huge consumption in America it is massive globally. And then we found out that America imports 90% of its seafood. What? That felt absurd. That was the initial motivation for starting Mar 2, 2026 4:39 PM

Show HN: Open-source expense and budget tracker with SQL API for AI agentshttps://github.com/kirill-markin/expense-budget-trackerI've been categorizing every transaction for over five years — from a 2 euro coffee to rent payments. At the end of each month I close the books and look at a 12-month forecast of where my money is going.It started when I was 19 and ran my first company. I had no idea what I was doing with money, so I found an experienced financial advisor who sat me down and showed me how companies actually do budgeting. Where money goes, how much you're spending, what income to expect. Basic stuff, but nobody had explained it to me before. I just started applying the same approach to my personal finances and never stopped.Once a week I sit down, drop my bank statements into an AI agent, and it parses everything — categorizes transactions, inserts them into the database, checks that balances match across accounts. If something doesn't add up, it asks me before fixing it.I tried a bunch of apps over the years — CoinKeeper, ZenMoney, spreadsheets. They all worked to some degree.

Show HN: I built a zero-browser, pure-JS typesetting engine for bit-perfect PDFshttps://github.com/cosmiciron/vmprintHi HN, I'm a film director by trade, and I prefer writing my stories in plain text rather than using clunky screenplay software. Standard markup like Fountain doesn't work for me because I write in mixed languages, so I use Markdown with a custom syntax I invented to resemble standard screenplay structures.This workflow is great until I need to actually generate an industry-standard screenplay PDF. I got tired of manually copying and pasting my text back into the clunky software just to export it, so I decided to write a script to automate the process. That's when I hit a wall.I tried using React-pdf and other high-level libraries, but they failed me on two fronts: true multilingual text shaping, and complex contextual pagination. Specifically, the strict screenplay requirement to automatically inject (MORE) at the bottom of a page and (CONT'D) at the top of the next page when a character's dialogue is split across a page break.You can't really do that elegantly when the layout engine Mar 1, 2026 12:25 PM

You can search in natural language ("articles about distributed systems tradeoffs") or with simple keywords.It's single-tenant by design: one password, no user accounts, no tracking. Your data stays on your machine.The project is MIT licensed don't hesitate to contribute.

Show HN: Context Harness – Local first context engine for AI toolshttps://github.com/parallax-labs/context-harnessContext Harness is a single Rust binary that gives AI tools like Cursor and Claude project-specific memory. It ingests docs, code, Jira tickets, Slack threads, and anything else into a local SQLite database, indexes them with FTS5 and optional vector embeddings, and exposes hybrid search via CLI and an MCP-compatible HTTP server.I built this because I kept hitting the same problem: AI tools are powerful but have no memory of my complex multi-repo project. They can't search our internal docs, past incidents, or architecture decisions. Cloud RAG services exist, but they're complex, expensive, and your data leaves your machine. I wanted something I could point at my sources and just run `ctx sync all`.Quick start: # Install (pre-built binaries available for macOS/Linux/Windows) cargo install --git https://github.com/parallax-labs/context-harness.git # Create config and initialize ctx init # Sync your data sources (filesystem, Git, S3, or Lua scripts) ctx sync all # Search from CLI ctx seaFeb 26, 2026 6:26 AM
