Show HN: Specsight – Living product specs generated from your codebasehttps://specsight.appHeyy HN, I'm OlaI'm an engineer myself, and everywhere I've worked there was a similar dynamic: someone from the non-technical side of the team (PM, CS, stakeholders) needs to understand what changed recently or how something works today. They rely on stale Confluence pages or ping engineers in Slack and wait. engineers get interrupted daily answering "how does this actually work". it's a mess that gets worse as the team growsor when you join a new company and try to get a sense of the product. turns out the documentation doesn't exist or is months old. you ask 5 people and get 5 different answers. I've seen it and experienced it sooo many timesI decided to start exploring this space and built Specsight for those non-technical teams. it connects to your GitHub repos, analyses the codebase with Claude (Agent SDK), extracts business-level features of the product, and generates plain-language specifications in Context/Action/Outcome format for every feature. it also builds a visual graph Apr 12, 2026 5:39 PM

Ask HN: Would you take your engineering team to Buenos Aires for an offsite?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47726018Hey HN,I’m doing some market research on the logistics and viability of hosting corporate tech offsites in Buenos Aires, Argentina.With the shift to remote/distributed work, annual or bi-annual company retreats have become the main way teams build rapport. We see a lot of teams going to Mexico City, Lisbon, or Costa Rica, but I'm looking closely at Buenos Aires (as I live there).Timezone: Favorable for the US (EST +1 or +2) and easier for EU overlap.Cost: Highly favorable exchange rate makes luxury/premium experiences much more affordable.Culture: World-class food, infrastructure, and a strong local tech ecosystem.However, the flight time from the US West Coast or parts of Europe is significantly longer than going to Mexico or Portugal.I’d love to hear from founders, CTOs, and engineering managers who have planned or attended company retreats:1. Has your team done an offsite in LATAM? If so, where, and how did you choose the location?2. Is flight duration the ultimate dealbreaker? WoulApr 11, 2026 12:59 AM

Show HN: A music player built for Steam Deck with full gamepad navigationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47675416Hi everyone, my name is Oleg. I’ve been using the Steam Deck OLED for over a year and a half, and I love it. It’s not perfect, but as a portable gaming PC it’s revolutionary in hardware and software design.I use it for gaming both portable and on my TV, sometimes connected to a NAS and even a GPU dock for heavier titles. It’s basically my main gaming machine now.One thing has always bothered me: there’s no decent audio player for Steam Deck. Yes, there are dozens of Linux music players, but they either have terrible interfaces, are overloaded, or just don’t feel right with a gamepad. Moving a mouse with the joystick works, but it’s tedious on the couch, especially when the Deck is connected to a TV. Fonts are tiny, navigation is awkward.So I decided to build my own player. I’ve been coding for personal projects for 12+ years, including two music players (for VK and Yandex Music), a movie streaming app, a terminal ChatGPT assistant, and other tools. My goal is to make a player that workApr 7, 2026 1:52 PM

Show HN: Veil – Dark mode PDFs without destroying images, runs in the browserhttps://veil.simoneamico.com/Hi HN! here's a tool I just deployed that renders PDFs in dark mode without destroying the images. Internal and external links stay intact, and I decided to implement export since I'm not a fan of platform lock-in: you can view your dark PDF in your preferred reader, on any device. It's a side project born from a personal need first and foremost. When I was reading in the factory the books that eventually helped me get out of it, I had the problem that many study materials and books contained images and charts that forced me, with the dark readers available at the time, to always keep the original file in multitasking since the images became, to put it mildly, strange. I hope it can help some of you who have this same need. I think it could be very useful for researchers, but only future adoption will tell.With that premise, I'd like to share the choices that made all of this possible. To do so, I'll walk through the three layers that veil creates from the original PDF:- Layer 1: CSS fMar 26, 2026 11:47 AM
