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: Kandelo – a POSIX-compatible multi-process WASM kernel for the browserhttps://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo/Kandelo is an open-source, Wasm-based multi-process kernel that runs POSIX programs in browsers and Node.js.Kandelo is still experimental, but it already runs a substantial range of existing software.Do you have use cases for this?We are trying Kandelo as a new foundation for WordPress Playground which runs server-side WordPress entirely in the browser. Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing with porting games and desktop environments and even compiling runnable programs within Kandelo.Yet it feels like there are many possibilities we haven't considered.How would you like to use something like this?Demos:Some notes: The demos have been tested in desktop browsers. Unfortunately, YMMV on mobile today. Some of the disk images are large (~50MB) and may take a while to boot initially.Main set, with Shell (bash, vim, nethack, and more), Nginx, PHP, WordPress, and Doom: https://kandelo.dev/202608

Show HN: Pond – lossless archive for agent sessions in your own S3https://github.com/tenequm/pondI wanted all of my sessions preserved in one S3 storage dump I could access from anywhere. I couldn't find anything that could store sessions from multiple machines in one remote S3 bucket without running a database service anywhere, make them available as an MCP for my agent, and efficiently search through them. pond was born out of this, and out of my necessity to stop being locked to my laptop. I'm convinced that the sessions we generate with agents are one of the most precious assets we have and it still feels so odd to me that we throw them away like we couldn't care less.With pond you just point it at an S3 bucket or a local directory. Under the hood is in-process Lance. It also supports safe concurrent writes, so I just collect all my sessions from all my local machines, remote VMs and telegram agent setups in one bucket dir. Right now that is 14,861 sessions, 2.83M messages, 10.6 GiB, from 8 tools (Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi, Claude Desktop, oh-my-pi and a few more).The o

Show HN: Excuse My French – an Open Source French-learning apphttps://excusemyfrench.org/hi HN! Many years ago (in 2018) I wrote a simple French-learning exercise generator in Javascript for my wife. I was looking for a way to generate as many exercises as possible for her to practice. The idea was being able to generate a huge combination of sentences and being able to transform them deterministically based on French grammar rules. The generation and transformation is rule-based (no LLMs back then).For example, we generate (using rule-based) :> Je mange une pommethen we ask the engine to transform it to past and replace the pronoun:> Je l'ai mangéeThen we compare with the user's answer.I recently picked the project back up, thanks to AI coding tools and some free time I improved the UI, added more conventional bits (flashcards, dictation, progress tracking, etc). I kept the core of it: the rule-based sentence generator, because it allows to generate extremely fast locally and in a controlled way.I pushed this new version on the same repository : https://github.com/Celebio

Show HN: LilScript makes JavaScript libraries smallerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49374554https://yeargun.github.io/lilscript/LilScript is a typed, compression-first language that compiles into js and sometimes into exec(will be more stable in future). The compiler mangles, reshapes the program into optimized js that happens to be 5-15% smaller (after gzip/br compression or raw) compared to the best performing JS toolchains like oxc/esbuild/terser/..## What has been proven to work with LilScript?- makes VSCode's core js modules 20% smaller on average- makes the world's most performant & small markdown rendering npm library, marked, 5-7% smaller and 10% faster- and many more demos.. works with pretty much any js/ts library## How it is compressing js finer than vite/oxc/terser/esbuild/..### 1.

Algorithm Interview: a conversation between two parrotshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49373709Algorithm Interview: a conversation between two parrotsAll children know that parrots can talk. All adults understand that parrots simply repeat sounds.You'll laugh, but these same adults actually believe that an Algorithm Interview is a conversation between a very smart algorithm expert who is trying to find out whether the candidate understands algorithms at an acceptable level…So, how many ycombinator.com readers have successfully passed the algorithms interview? Probably tens of thousands.Well, how many of them were able to understand that breaking down sorting into independent stages is a Fundamental Discovery? Zero!Zero questions and comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49314420P.S. Have you ever thought that NOT everyone has a mental model? But most people just memorize ready-made answers instead of understanding the problem?I recommend reading The Programmers' Stone https://www.datapacrat.com/Opinion/Reciprocality/r0/index.html ---------------8

Show HN: Protobuf.com, a visual, interactive guide to Protocol Buffershttps://protobuf.com/Protobuf is a fairly simple format, but the way people are first introduced to it often doesn't speak to them. That is how it was for me at first. I tried to address that in two ways: simple visual diagrams where a picture does the work better than prose, and interaction so you can get a feel for the language and how it behaves without installing anything.Some parts of the guide run a real Protobuf compiler, bufbuild/protocompile, in the browser through WASM. It's the same compiler the buf CLI uses.Feedback welcome.Disclosure: I work at Buf, and Buf owns the domain. The guide started as a side project before I joined.
