Show HN: Marigold – Get more done with your agenthttps://marigold.pageTwo things I've settled on after a lot of agent work: 1. For most outputs, reviewing a fit-for-purpose rich HTML doc beats reviewing markdown (diagrams, charts, dynamic elements). 2. Feedback works best as in-line comments on the output, rather than re-describing what your feedback applies to.Marigold wires both into one loop. Your agent drafts output as a local HTML file. The file opens in your browser with a comment layer on top. You click an element, type some feedback, and hit send. Your CLI agent gets the feedback, anchored to the elements you clicked. When it updates the file, the tab live-reloads and your comments re-anchor to the new version.The net effect: collaborating with your agent is a few clicks instead of a few paragraphs, and everyone moves faster.Setup is one command: `npm i -g marigold-draft`, then `marigold-draft agent-setup` wires up any CLI assistants are on your machine — Claude Code, Codex, opencode. Or you can find a blurb to paste into your agent on the websit

Thinking: Alternate Distribution for Filmmakershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48931604This idea did not in anyway start with the intention of distribution. In my 20s there were a group of 12 of us, who shared a whatsapp group and every thursday, we had a standing appointment to decide and watch the interesting movie for the week.Over the years as life happens and folks got married, moved, priorities shifted, that ritual that almost lasted a decade fell apart.During the pandemic, given that most of us had a VR headset, we reconnected and started watching movies together - we'd setup a shared stream and would have a google chat going on the side, so that we can hear each other while the movie played.VR has been surprisingly good to recreate that theatrical atmosphere - but the worst bit is sitting in a virtual cinema as the only person. Dimming the lights out (within the virtual environment so that you don't see the empty chairs) and having a video call where we can hear each other on one of the ears, kinda felt a bit like the gang was back together.Even if it hasn't been

Ask HN: PhDs, how have you organized your research visits?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48906413Hi HN! Using a throwaway account but looking for advice from people having done research visits as PhD students, especially in terms of funding/accommodation/whether such an experience is worth the cost.I'm a second-year PhD candidate in France, working in NLP. In January I contacted a professor from another university in the Netherlands to ask about a research visit opportunity -- I did this because both my university and hers were part of a funding program for research visits. We had a call and she was very interested in my topic and the potential help I could give for her project (and I'm also very interested in what she's working on).I applied to this funding but my application was rejected because my university told me I should apply to another funding program specific to the university. I did that in March, but things have been going downhill, as the person who is supposed to deal with the applications left, and everything's mostly been on standby since. Thus, I haven't received

Show HN: I MitM'd Plex to make remote streaming suck lesshttps://github.com/inhumantsar/plex-proxy/I've been hoarding media for a long time. Longer than I care to think about honestly. At this point the collection is large enough that several of the friends and family members I've shared my Plex server with have cancelled their streaming service subscriptions.After getting laid off a while back, I started working on a degree online. It seemed like a good opportunity to spend some time traveling too, so I signed up for Starlink and got a friend to host my Plex server in his basement for the duration. Surely that would be good enough to watch whatever from where-ever.Turns out that no, it's not. Plex really doesn't like streaming over Starlink. It would top out at 8-9mbps in good conditions, often dropping down to 2 or 3, while other streams and downloads would happily hum along at 100mbps+.I spent a little time looking into the issue early on. None of the remote or server network changes I could think of made a noticable difference. Customizing Plex's internal MPV configuration to in

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 (for

I got tired of every .NET HTML-to-PDF library so I built a free one from scratchhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48853670Hi all, I've just open-sourced NetPDF, a project I've been building to scratch an itch that's bugged the .NET community for as long as I can remember, there has never been a genuinely free, high-quality HTML-to-PDF library.Every existing route has a real tradeoff:Headless-browser wrappers (Puppeteer/Playwright/Chromium): huge footprint, a native browser to ship and secure, a process to spawn per render.wkhtmltopdf wrappers: built on an unmaintained engine.Commercial libraries: excellent, but licensed per seat/server."Free" libraries: AGPL (viral copyleft) or a revenue cap that becomes a license fee once you grow.After years of working around this, I decided to build the thing I wanted. NetPDF is a real HTML/CSS layout engine written from scratch in C# - the same category as Prince or WeasyPrint, not "automate a browser."What it isA pure C# / .NET 10 engine that parses HTML + CSS and lays it out itself: block, inline, flexbox, grid, and tables, fragmentation across pages, paged-media (@

Show HN: envapt, typed env config for decoupled TS codebases (Node to edge)https://github.com/materwelonDhruv/envaptHi HN. I'm Dhruv and I've been working on envapt for about a year now and I've FINALLY completed the roadmap I scope creeped and QA'd over the past few months. It reads environment config in TypeScript and returns the typed value instead of string | undefined, from whatever source you bind. It runs on Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, the browser, and well, anywhere.Most typed-env libraries have you declare every variable in one central schema and read the result from one object. That works well for a single application. Mostly. That didn't work for me because in a framework or a monorepo, decoupled packages each read their own config values, and sharing one config object across every package just doesn't make sense to me, plus some other nits.envapt does the opposite. You bind a source once at startup, and on Node/Deno/Bun it binds your .env files and process.env for you, with cascading profiles per environment. After that, ANY typed read in ANY file uses that source, and each valu

Show HN: Cruxible – Open-source governed truth layer for AI agentshttps://github.com/cruxible-ai/cruxibleMemory as text for LLMs works well enough when the truth can be plainly stated and doesn't change, but I kept running into the same problem with LLM wikis, markdown, vector stores - I just didn't trust them, and I didn't trust my agent to properly state its evidence for a claim, its reason for changing something, or rebuild its semantic connections the same way between sessions from a text corpus. I found myself constantly asking my agents to re-verify what was already in my wikis, so what was really the point of the wiki in the first place?I built Cruxible to fix that. It's a governed state layer that human/agent teams operate and iterate on together: you model what's true for your domain in an explicit, typed ontology, and the runtime enforces how state may change. It's designed to be unobtrusive: the state compounds as the exhaust of normal agent work, not as an ontology someone has to manually comb through.Repo is here: https://github.com/cruxible-ai/cruxible- All state that can be

Originally I'm an iOS Engineer for 6+ years but now I'm diving deep into AI, product building and everything around it.Here I want to present my first product which I built for two months - as usual for tech background guy I was trying to make it perfect but then decided to start distributing it along future improvements, anywayI got an idea when were discussing another travel idea with my personal agent - it can suggest where to fly, what are places to visit and etc but can't find the best windows to fly there, and nobody can - every time you need to open Google Flights, Kayak and search each date, then watch it and try to figure out is it a good price or not, should you wait 2 days or buy it right now? And each website provides different rates... Using API even not freeSo I build this one. Under the hood we put fares from different sources, aggregators, cross-checked against live market prices.

Show HN: Rowboat – Open-source, local-first alternative to Claude Desktophttps://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboatClaude’s desktop app is brilliant, but for our own daily work we kept wanting it to be less like a chat app and more like a full-fledged work app. Rowboat is our attempt at that, including the ability to build your own work surfaces inside Rowboat (more below).Our repo is https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat, and there’s a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et5yQABJ3xIIn a previous startup, we built a deep-learning product for enterprise support reps, including teams supporting P&G brands. Models took live notes, suggested replies, and recommended actions while support reps were on calls or handling emails. One lesson stuck with us: it's not enough for the AI to be right, the help has to show up where the work is happening.So we added what we came to call “work surfaces”: dedicated areas for email, meetings, notes, browser, and parallel coding, where the assistant can help inside the workflow itself rather than only through chat:- Email client: Rowboat has a simple emai
