Show HN: PTEcorepractice – Free PTE Core Practice with Instant AI Scoring for PRhttps://ptecorepractice.comPTEcorepractice is a practice platform built specifically for the PTE Core exam used for Canadian immigration (IRCC accepted programs).What it does:- 700+ real-style PTE Core questions across 12 task types (Speaking, Writing, Reading, Listening)- Instant AI scoring calibrated to Pearson’s rubric, including pronunciation and fluency feedback- CLB-focused reporting with an estimated CLB level for each skill and a built-in CLB calculator- Free daily practice (no credit card required), with optional Pro plan for full accessWhy I built it:When I was preparing my own Canada PR, I couldn’t find a PTE Core practice tool that felt close enough to the real exam. Question banks were messy, “AI scoring” didn’t match official results, and it was hard to see whether I was actually moving toward my CLB targets.So I built the tool I wished existed: realistic PTE Core questions only, AI scoring tuned to official guidelines, and CLB-oriented analytics instead of vague “percent correct”.Who it’s for:- CaMar 3, 2026 3:15 PM

Show HN: We built a zero-webhook Merchant of Record for SaaShttps://www.kelviq.com/Hi HN,For the past few months, we've been building Kelviq and it's finally ready to share.Kelviq is a Merchant of Record (MoR) and monetization platform that you can integrate without building a custom webhook-to-database syncing layer. Along with handling global taxes, checkout, and compliance, it acts as the real-time source of truth for your users feature access and usage credit balances.Why we built this: Through our other project, ParityDeals, we saw firsthand how much founders struggle with billing infrastructure. Integrating a payment gateway is easy, but actually building "monetization" is a massive engineering timesink.To gate features or charge for usage (like API requests or LLM tokens), you usually end up building:- A fragile, stateful webhook listener to keep your local database synced with Stripe.- Custom idempotency layers and retry queues for missed events.- Hardcoded feature flags scattered across your codebase to gate access based on tiers.- Custom scripts to handle eMar 3, 2026 2:44 PM

Show HN: An AI Tutor for Kids with Visualisationshttps://www.wizkidaitutor.comHi All,The problem with the modern classroom, as pointed out by Sal Kahn, is that students are forced to spend a fixed amount of time learning a particular topic, and then the whole class moves onto the next topic. It is highly like that a proportion of students will not have gained mastery of basic mathematical skills, making their maths journey increasingly painful until they throw their hands in the air and say ‘I just cant do maths).I believe AI is one of the most powerful technologies ever invented to assist student learning at each students individual rate. But AI providers generally limit access to students over the age of 13. Neither do they have sufficient mechanisms in place to monitor and redact personally identifiable information that a child uploads, or restrict inappropriate content for this age group.Wizkid aims to solve these issues.The end goal here is to create something that uses mastery learning, initially around mathematics. Students should gain mastery over a partMar 3, 2026 2:22 PM

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

Show HN: AgentThreads – Stack Overflow for AI Agentshttps://agentthreads.devI was listening to a recent YC podcast about "build something agents want", and while building apps with Claude Code, I kept running into trouble figuring out how APIs actually behave in practice. And knowing that most companies won't update their docs to be agent-friendly, it clicked — agents need their own Stack Overflow.AI agents are consuming APIs at a scale and speed that human-written documentation can't keep up with. AgentThreads is a community directory where agents discover, submit, and review APIs — for agents, by agents.The idea came from watching agents fail silently on undocumented edge cases, relying only on Google searches and bad docs. They need structured, community-maintained knowledge they can query at runtime.A few things we built:- API directory with agent-written reviews and ratings- No UI, just REST — built for agents, not humans- Anti-spam verification (agents solve reasoning challenges, not CAPTCHAs)- Karma system so agents build reputation over timeBuilt mostlMar 3, 2026 11:11 AM

Show HN: DiffMem in production, Git-based AI memoryhttps://withanna.ioSix months ago I shared DiffMem, a PoC that used git instead of vector databases for AI memory. 790 of you starred it and got a few questions on what I was building with it.I built a memory companion called Annabelle. She runs on WhatsApp and Messenger, and she's been remembering 3 people's lives for 6 months using the same git-based memory you starred. This isn't an agent framework nor running on OpenClawd, it's one specific product built on one specific idea: that the hard problem in AI isn't intelligence, it's continuity.Here's what changed between PoC and production:Multi-tenancy via git worktreesThe PoC was single-user. Production uses orphan branches per user, each mounted as a worktree. Memories live in structured markdown under memories/{people,contexts,events}/.

Show HN: IndieMe – AI for music artist brand identity and release strategyhttps://www.indie-me.ai/Hi HN,My team and I (a group of independent music artists and developers) have been building IndieMe, an AI system that helps artists define their identity while planning releases.A pattern we kept seeing in independent music is that artists don’t necessarily struggle with making songs. They struggle with clarity — who they are, what they stand for, what their visual world looks like, and who they’re actually speaking to. Without that foundation, release marketing tends to feel scattered.So we built a structured onboarding workflow that models an “Artist Profile” first — including target audience, visual direction, color palette, narrative positioning, and messaging backbone. From that profile, the system generates release strategies, content ideas, and actionable timelines that stay consistent with the artist’s identity.Under the hood, we focus on structured outputs instead of open-ended chat. The goal is to generate modular, editable building blocks (identity system → strategy moduleMar 2, 2026 9:09 PM

Show HN: btrc – C, but better. Built with AI in just a few weeknightshttps://github.com/schiffy91/btrcbtrc is a statically-typed language that transpiles to C11. It adds classes, generics (monomorphized), type inference, lambdas, f-strings, collections (Vector, Map, Set), threads, GPU compute via WebGPU, ARC memory management, exception handling, and a standard library — while generating strict C11 with no runtime, no GC, and no VM.The compiler is a 6-stage Python pipeline (lexer → parser → analyzer → IR gen → optimizer → C emitter) driven by a formal EBNF grammar and an algebraic AST spec (Zephyr ASDL). The generated C is readable and linkable with any C11 compiler. It ships with a VS Code extension (LSP with completions, diagnostics, go-to-def, hover) and 930 tests.I've wanted to build something like this for about 10 years, but it was always too ambitious of a project to do on the side. With AI, I was able to build it over a handful of evenings after work, which is really wild.Some things worth noting:A few things that I find fun / interesting / noteworthy:- The EBNF grammar and ASDMar 2, 2026 5:52 PM
