Show HN: Airut – Sandboxed Claude Code sessions over emailhttps://github.com/airutorg/airutI built Airut to solve the friction I hit while switching to an agent-first workflow.With the latest models and a solid CLAUDE.md, I could reliably go from prompt to PR using Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions. But that left me with two problems:1. Safety: Running permissive mode on my host machine felt reckless. I needed real sandboxing — not just a container, but network isolation too.2. Session management: I needed a way to run multiple long-running Claude Code sessions without juggling terminals.I realized the ideal interaction model matches email: asynchronous, threaded, long-form. So I built a service that runs headless Claude Code inside rootless Podman containers, mapping email threads to agent sessions.The security model goes beyond container isolation. All network traffic routes through an mitmproxy instance that enforces a per-repo allowlist — the agent can only reach pre-approved hosts. Credentials use a masked secrets system where containers get surrogate tokeFeb 9, 2026 5:04 PM

Show HN: I made a tool that finds customers who already want your producthttps://overlead.co/enHere's the problem: I launched two products. I wrote blog posts. I posted on X, built in public. I tried running ads. And you know what actually got me customers? Replying to someone on Reddit who asked, "What's the best tool for this?" One reply. Three signups. I felt like an idiot for not doing it sooner. But here's the issue: I don't have time to refresh Reddit all day looking for these posts. I have products to build. Bugs to fix. Emails to answer. Life to live. So I built Overlead to do the searching for me. Overlead scans Reddit, Quora, and Hacker News (and many more to come) for threads where people are actively asking for tools, complaining about competitors, or describing problems you solve. Then it hands you the best matches so you can jump in, be helpful, and turn questions into customers.Feb 9, 2026 4:17 PM

Ask HN: How do you recover after realizing your OSS v0.1.0 was wrong?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46946005I recently shipped v0.1.0 of a small open source project and quickly realized that while it "worked" the architecture and scope were fundamentally wrong.Instead of stacking fixes, I decided to step back and rebuild it properly toward v1.0.0, with a much stronger focus on simplicity and contributor-friendliness.I’m curious how others here have handled similar situations:- When you realize early architectural decisions were wrong, how far back do you roll things? - How do you balance “learning by building” with not over-engineering? - At what point does it make sense to invite contributors after a reset?I’m less interested in validation and more in learning how OSS maintainers think about resets like this.Feb 9, 2026 3:05 PM

Show HN: Tangs.dev – Upload → Save to Drive → Share with Friendshttps://tangs.devHello!I’m the maker of Tangs, a simple way to upload a file, save it directly to your Google Drive, and share it instantly with a temporary link.I built Tangs because sharing files through Drive often feels more complicated than it should be: messy permissions, long links, and too many steps.As a developer, I often prepare documents or presentation materials on my work PC before meetings. But when I need to use those files in a conference room or on another computer, it always becomes a hassle.In a rush, I’d end up emailing attachments to myself, uploading to random shared folders, or dealing with access issues and cluttered links — all just to move a file quickly. It felt unnecessarily frustrating and restrictive, especially for something so common during day-to-day work.That pain point is what led me to build Tangs: a faster, cleaner way to get a file onto the right machine and share it instantly.With Tangs:- Upload once- Save to your own Google Drive- Share in seconds- Minimal GooglFeb 9, 2026 2:39 PM

Show HN: FederalGifts – What foreign governments give American officialshttps://federalgifts.com/Every year, foreign governments give gifts to US government officials — everything from jeweled swords to luxury watches to ornate rugs. Federal law requires these to be disclosed (and most go to the National Archives, since officials can't keep gifts worth over ~$480).I built FederalGifts to make this data browsable and searchable. You can explore by:- Individual gifts (with descriptions and estimated values)- Recipients (which officials received the most?)- Donor countries (which nations give the most lavishly?)- AgenciesSome interesting finds: Saudi Arabia and UAE consistently give the most expensive gifts. The most common gifts are jewelry, decorative items, and books. The State Department receives the lion's share.The data comes from the Federal Register and State Department disclosures — public information that's technically available but practically impossible to browse.Built with Rails and open data.

Show HN: EdgeAI-OS – Air-gapped Linux distro where AI is a system primitivehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46942012I built a bootable Linux distribution that treats AI as a system primitive – like CPU or memory. Designed for security-conscious environments where data cannot leave the network.The problem: Most AI requires cloud APIs, which means your data leaves your control. For banks, healthcare, defense, and regulated industries – that's a non-starter.The solution: EdgeAI-OS runs everything locally. No cloud calls. No API keys. No telemetry. Boot the ISO, use AI. Your data never leaves the machine.Security features: - 100% offline operation – air-gap friendly, zero network dependencies - No external API calls – all inference runs locally on CPU - Command risk assessment – every command classified as Safe/Moderate/Dangerous - Dangerous pattern blocking – prevents rm -rf /, curl|bash, fork bombs, etc. - Open source & auditable – MIT licensed, inspect every line of code - No data exfiltration – nothing phones home, everWhat's in the ISO: - Local LLMs (TinyLlama 1.1B + SmolLM 135M) – runs on CPU, no Feb 9, 2026 5:56 AM

Show HN: Dwrite.me A minimalist writing space that blocks copypaste to fight AIhttps://dwrite.meLately, the internet has started to feel loud, yet incredibly empty. Every time I browse Google, Medium, or news portals, I run into articles that feel "too perfect." The structure is flawless, the grammar is impeccable, but there is absolutely no soul in them.We all know why. It’s AI.As a developer, I love technology. But as a human, I’ve started to crave writing that has "scars"—writing that has emotion, rhythm, and is actually born from someone’s messy brain, not a polished prompt.That’s why I built dwrite.me.An Internet That’s Too Fast My frustration is simple: We live in an age where everything is expected to be instant. Need a 2,000-word article? One click. Need an opinion? Ask a chatbot.But here’s the problem: If everyone is using AI to write, why should we bother reading each other at all? We aren't exchanging thoughts anymore; we are just swapping machine-processed data. Our way of thinking is becoming lazy.

Show HN: MCP App Template designed for coding agentshttps://github.com/sebderhy/mcp-app-templateHi, author of the repo speaking here!When I tried building MCP Apps [1], the official repos (https://github.com/openai/openai-apps-sdk-examples, https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/tree/main/e...) were great starting points, but they're designed for human developers. When I used them with Claude Code, I ended up in the usual loop: agent writes code → I manually test the app on ChatGPT → describe errors back → repeat. Plus, we didn't know what the best practices are, and struggled to enforce them.So I built an MCP App template designed for coding agents to work as autonomously as possible on an MCP app.The key idea: orthogonal testing. 450+ tests parameterized across 12 widget modules that verify infrastructure (protocol compliance, best practices grade, browser rendering), not business logic. Modify widgets, change data, add features — the tests should still pass. Agents iterate freely and get feedback without a human in the loop.Other features: - Hierarchical documentatioFeb 8, 2026 4:12 PM
