Show HN: Aestheticscience.net – A website for rating academic papershttps://aestheticscience.net/Hi all, I made a website similar to Rateyourmusic or Letterboxd for rating and cataloguing academic papers, as well as any other writing on the internet. This website was inspired by a very particular moment during a journal club where a professor I used to work for revealed he categorizes all papers he reads with a numerical rating, immediately leading the entire room to ask what were his five star papers.What is your favorite academic paper? I made this website because I want everyone to tell me what their favorite paper is, and I am not aware of a website that exists which facilitates this RYM-like experience. You could argue it is anti-scientific to allow anyone to put a paper on some arbitrary scale, but this is my response to a point in intellectual history where it is easier than ever to create analyses and papers which are technically true and correct but feel utterly meaningless. I would like to find papers which are not only technically correct but deeply moving and beautifulJul 6, 2026 9:54 PM

Show HN: Code Review Enviornment for the Modern Erahttps://plannotator.ai/code-review/Plannotator opens a local diff viewer (git, jj, p4). You annotate lines, tokens, or comment on files, and when you're done they feed straight into your agent session; creating an automated feedback loop.It works on local diffs, commits, branches, worktrees, and GitHub/GitLab PRs. The PR view lets you annotate the descriptions and comments while also being able to filter bot comments.The core tool enables focused manual review, the optional AI layer: - Ask AI: Ask questions directly inline - Guided Reviews: Have an agent reorganize a large diff into semantic overview sorted by importance (inspired by linear) - Review Agents: Run review agents whose findings land as inline annotations. Review jobs can be your own skills that plannotator links to locally. There's also a local API, your agents can POST findings or other markers/insights/notes onto the diff. Every annotation you make is saved to ~/.plannotator. Point an agent at that history and repeated feedback distills into a custom reviJul 6, 2026 7:12 PM

Show HN: Arda Translate, free private on-device (iOS) translationhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/arda-translate/id6778970560Hi C.J. here, I made a free app that does on device translation using Gemma Translate 4B AI model repackaged for iOS. This allows for after model download, private offline translation locally on your iOS device.I made this app after trying to talk to my neighbor and service not being great at the bus stop where I drop off my daughter. I have tried to make the app UX easy to use and I really like the default view where the translations appear flipped on each side so you can hold the phone in the middle and each person has a side of the phone.Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!Jul 6, 2026 6:49 PM

Show HN: Cona – design your real room in 3D, in the browserhttps://cona.designHey HN! I've been working on this idea for around 9 months and want to know your opinion on the concept and the experience.I came up with it when I moved in with my girlfriend and we had a hard time making our small studio work. In Cona, you can draw your floor plan with real dimensions, scan your room, or pick from a template, then design it with real, purchasable items. It's free and there's no sign-up to try it. I wanted to build something that helps people like me actually live in the space they want: for me that was a proper home office setup that works in a tiny room.Want to know what you think. Thank you! I'll be in the comments answering questions about the tech behind it if you're interested in the graphics, the ML, or anything else.Jul 6, 2026 4:35 PM

Webb reveals millions of stars in nearby galaxyhttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_reveals_millions_of_stars_in_nearby_galaxyIn new images from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to celebrate its fourth science anniversary, a familiar galaxy transforms into something far richer, and far more complex, than ever seen before. Webb’s unprecedented sensitivity across near- and mid-infrared wavelengths cuts through the thick lanes of dust that obscure Centaurus A’s centre in visible light, showing a densely packed tapestry of individual stars and an active, everchanging galaxy. These images mark four years of better-than-anticipated performance and successful science operations for the most powerful space telescope in history.Jul 6, 2026 4:00 PM

Ask HN: I use coding agents daily, but how do real engineers use them?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48806479I have a broad but shallow technical background (longtime management consultant) and use agents (a variety of services and models in VS Code) extensively for my own projects. I know I'm hitting a ceiling. My workflow is naive and nonpro, a lot of tinkering and bashing my way through code generation, context drift, manual fixes, etc.I want to learn how senior engineers treat these tools. Processes, systems, guardrails, must-dos, etc.If you write code for a living and have integrated agents into your workflow, what does your system look like?Any/all input is welcomed: resources, URLs, outlines, warnings, discoveries, recommendations.None of these are specifically needed, but ideas?-How do you structure a brand new project? Scaffolding, git init/ignore? Repos? Initial commit strategies? How do you keep stuff out of the context window that you don't want in it?-How do you "layer" your work so it's much more about the context and integrity of the structure and much less about prompts?-Do yoJul 6, 2026 3:58 PM

Show HN: Nectar, a Rust-like React that compiles to WebAssemblyhttps://buildnectar.comAfter a pretty rough gig experience, I wanted to remind myself that I was a vaguely capable developer. I had recently jumped on the Rust train and wanted a Rust equivalent of React that is more performant and easier to work with. I also wondered if I could effectively eject Javascript. This project came from that... Nectar is a programming language that compiles your entire app, logic, state, and rendering, to WebAssembly. JavaScript is reduced to a roughly 10 KB syscall layer that only bridges WASM to the DOM.The origin: I set out to get React-style ergonomics with better performance, and about halfway in I realized I had hit the ceiling of what was possible going through the browser's DOM (Blink/C++) and a diffing step. So I stopped fighting it and built my own signal-driven rendering layer that compiles to WASM and updates exactly the DOM nodes that changed, in O(1), with no virtual DOM and no garbage collector.What it is right now:- One binary. The same compiler does formatting, liJul 6, 2026 3:16 PM

Show HN: Quiet Sky, a weather app built for privacyhttps://github.com/NW-Hiker-Skier/quietsky-privacy-proxyHi, all.I wanted to share an app and privacy proxy I made. I'd appreciate your feedback and thoughts.I've been frustrated for years by the fact that weather apps use our information to track us in real time. I searched high and low for a weather app that promised privacy. I was surprised I couldn't find one. Even apps with good privacy policies make no guarantees about how the provider will use your information. I decided this would be a good time to make an beautiful weather app that delivered on the privacy commitment cleanly.Many of you probably know weather apps are one of the silent ways your location gets sold. The NY Times did a piece on this a few years ago. Most of the apps take your location for a forecast, then pass your that plus your IP and device ID to either directly to ad networks and data brokers, or to providers who then do the same. There are some good apps and providers, but it is difficult to tell. I wanted a weather app that couldn't leak who you are, and I thoughJul 6, 2026 2:02 PM

Show HN: A strategy game about the AI race where you can't verify alignmenthttps://criticalwindow.org/I made a strategy game where you play the US or China through the AI race, 2026 to 2030, sixteen quarterly turns in the browser. One run takes about half an hour.At the start, the game seals two dice you never get to see. Inside: how hard alignment really is, and how fast takeoff compounds. You get eval reports, but only as ranges, and they flatter you most exactly when your systems are least aligned. At the end you get a debrief which shows what your evals said each quarter and also what was actually true. I lost every run I played myself so far.Every number in the game is source-backed or a labeled design choice. Some of them are wrong somewhere. There is an issue template for challenging a number with a better source, and the better source wins.No accounts, no tracking, no server, works offline after first load. AGPL, nonprofit. Cards and parameters are plain JSON. Contribution is possible without writing code. Would like to have your thoughts if it is fun to play, how you like it aJul 6, 2026 1:14 PM
