Show HN: Chat Threadshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49382293The reason I wrote Chat Threads was because I started cursing at the AI in the middle of a long conversation. Then I continued with the conversation.Later, I wanted to pull that part out. I didn't want to start a new branch somewhere before it happened. I just wanted to take that part out of the middle and keep everything before and after it.That was the original idea behind Chat Threads.Chat Threads lets you work with a copy of a ChatGPT or Claude conversation. You can remove turns from the middle of a conversation without changing the original, and then continue with everything before and after them intact.It also lets you split a long conversation into separate topics. You can do that manually or optionally have an AI propose the topics and assignments for you to review.The project is open source:https://github.com/onyourmark/chat-threadsAug 21, 2026 12:48 AM

Ask HN: Is building military hardware and healthcare the AI-proof?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49382011As developing software as a skill becomes like flipping burgers in a fast food company, is building hardware for evergreen industries like military and healthcare the only escape for actual engineers, not prompters?Sure, it would be a lot more expensive to bring a product to market and sell, and more likely for a product to fail because of the long sale period. But at least you have a natural barrier then. You don't see some solo dev trying to compete with Apple in hardware, whereas in software nowadays there are billions of people who are your competition.Aug 21, 2026 12:12 AM

Show HN: Hackerznews – Yet Another HN Clienthttps://hackerznews.vercel.appAround a little more than a year ago, thanks to the advancements in agentic coding, I created my personal ideal HN reading app. There are oh so many of those, but this one is mine. I couldn’t write syntax in any programming language if my life depended on it, so I was glad to have different models help me in that regard. I’m transparent about it, because a lot of HN users might view this negatively and I don’t want to mislead anyone.The updated feature set includes:* Updated UI for everything, including the story view with a favicon and simplified actions. * Dark mode switching based on device settings as a default, but optional setting * Responsive design for hopefully easier reading on mobile * On Desktop split view: the comment section opening up with the story list as a sidebar for easier story switching. * Updated thread design * Added Save functionalityAs I’m only an avid reader, not really contributor, I don’t really care about any account management or reply features.

Show HN: Zero () friction local AI for Machttps://www.basecompute.co/localSuper excited to launch our new app Local today. What we’ve learned at Base Compute over the last months is that running AI directly on your laptop or workstation gives you maximum privacy and it’s free, but it’s also a massive headache to configure. So we’ve decided what matters is making the experience completely frictionless for users.Local analyses the hardware of your laptop, optimises the AI for it, and recommends the best models for your specific device.It let’s you do what you’re doing with cloud AI already, just for free and on your own machine: Chatting with PDF’s, Recording and summarising meetings, running coding agents...If you’re using Local in your office with colleagues, you can run it in “Office Mode”. The strongest computer in your office runs the AI and everyone can connect to it with their laptop. The data never leaves the office.It’s available for download on our website today, please try it out and let us know what you think!Aug 20, 2026 10:13 PM

Show HN: Youtilitics, energy usage analytics from utility data, no hardwarehttps://youtilitics.com/I posted an early version of this 2 years ago. Rebuilt most of it since then, so posting again with what's actually different.Youtilitics still pulls interval data your utility already collects (Green Button/ESPI — 15-60 min whole-house kWh) and turns it into usage analytics. The analytics stack is different: baseline anomaly detection (median/MAD by time-of-day bucket, not a flat threshold), overnight step-change alerts, usage heatmaps, cycle-over-cycle comparisons, etc. It is still based on a model trained on human-labelled data: used to differentiate baseline (eg vampire load) vs EV vs HVAC vs the rest. Inference runs with a python script when new data is received from the utility.I also changed the mobile app. It is still mainly used to store the user credentials without us having them (they never leave the device), for security/privacy reasons. This is used to scrape usage data from the utility dashboard, when they don't support Green Button. However now it also runs an embedded PAug 20, 2026 10:13 PM

Show HN: Praxos – team messaging with built-in memoryhttps://www.praxos.ai/Hey HN! What does a regular workflow at a startup look like?Probably like this:> One founder talks to customers> Another founder builds> A customer asks for something. The first founder explains it to the second. The second founder explains it to Claude> Two weeks any one of the founders asks one of the following questions: \* Why are we building it this way? \* What happened here? \* What did we promise ACME we’d do? \* How far along are we on X? > Then you scream on the inside because you have to figure out what happened...Before agents, the person who did one part of the work usually held a mental map. They could share the context with other people. Increasingly, they can’t.Small teams can run far more work in parallel than ever before thanks to AI, but someone now has to connect all that context manually. The reasoning behind one product change might now be scattered across a customer call, two emails, a Slack thread, and four Claude conversations.Praxos is a team messaging app.It Aug 20, 2026 8:55 PM

Show HN: PingChange – monitor web pages and OpenAPI specs for meaningful changeshttps://pingchange.comI built PingChange after watching the same thing happen over and over: a competitor prices change, a company policy is updated or important web content changes but there is often no reliable way to track it and know when it happens.The tool monitors web pages and API on a schedule and alerts your team when something meaningful changes. The keyword here is meaningful. Most monitoring tools trigger alerts for everything (ads, timestamps, cookie banners etc) and could be noisy or spam in your inbox. With PingChange, you can give it an instruction e.g "alert me when pricing changes" and it analyzes the page content and only notifies you when the changes matches what you're looking for on the page.Here are the main features:- Visual region selection / HTML element selector for tracking specific location on the page. - Changed diff viewer and screenshot of the pages. - Geolocation support - Monitor URL's from specific location to detect content from different geographies. - Anti-bot resolutiAug 20, 2026 8:51 PM

Show HN: We Added Notion Calendar to *Superhuman for iMessagehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49378903Another update on Attention: after launching here last week, over 100 people used Attention!We followed up on feedback and we added a Notion Calendar-style calendar!---We realized pretty quickly when working in Attention (Superhuman for iMessage) that a lot of our conversations were about scheduling things.When we talk to Righthand users, iMessage is a lot of "can we find time to debug the issue live" or "I'll get back to you by this evening with the answer". Personally it's a lot of booking travel and dinners.Since we've been spending so much time in Attention, we decided to add a calendar to fix the issue. It looks like Notion Calendar, but it also supports a few new features like "fuzzy events".The onboarding is more involved and so we'll do 1:1s for a bit (comment below if you want to be in the cohort), but we would love any and all feedback!As before:- Privacy / Security: Your data is yours, fully local in LanceDB + SQLite, never leaving your machine unless you turn on the AI agenAug 20, 2026 7:17 PM

Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AIhttps://www.danielvaughn.dev/posts/huzzah/Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah.I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself.I'd like to go back to writing code, but I don't want to go all the way back to fully manual coding. So I've come up with this interaction paradigm where you: 1. write pseudocode in whatever way makes the most sense to you 2. on save, the editor synchronizes your work to real source code 3. the pseudocode is persisted alongside the generated code, making your prompt effectively a stored record of intent. It may not work for every use case, but in my initial playthroughs I've found it very enjoyable.Right now it's just a proof of Aug 20, 2026 7:05 PM

Ask HN: How do you review and validate LLM generated code?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49378314It's become very fast to generate code nowadays, but how do you review and test all of it?Every time you ask a model to review some piece of code, it comes back with different "findings". So, you still have to filter through the noise of their findings to get to actual defects.And if you try to do the full review manually, then it might take more time to just understand the code than writing it yourself from the beginning.As for testing, you can ask the LLM to write the tests, but you can't be sure if the tests actually assert the expected product flow or just write pass/fail tests for a piece of logic.I would like to know if you have any workflows, strategies, or tricks.Aug 20, 2026 6:26 PM
