Show HN: Draco – A single-binary, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative in Rusthttps://github.com/0xchasercat/draco/Scraping modern websites has become a massive headache. You basically have two choices: pay for an expensive API like Firecrawl/Browserbase, or run a fleet of headless Chrome instances that eat 1GB of RAM per page and still get blocked by Cloudflare.I built Draco to fix this. It’s a fast, single-binary web scraper written in Rust. You point it at a URL, and it spits out perfectly clean Markdown or structured JSON for LLMs.The secret sauce is that it doesn't just boot a browser for every request. It uses a tiered escalation engine:Tier 1 (Stealth Fetch): Draco uses a custom TLS/JA4 fingerprint to perfectly mimic a real browser's network signature at the packet level. It turns out a lot of anti-bot walls will let you right through if your handshake looks correct. In my benchmarks against sites like Cloudflare and Target, Playwright ate ~500MB of RAM and timed out. Draco bypassed them in under a second using just 20MB of RAM.Tier 2 (V8 Isolate): If it hits a React/Next.js SPA that needs r

Show HN: LLM Tools that I made that I cant live withouthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49146317Hello HN ..I am posting here because I have made this bad ass thing. I want to be clear. I'm trying to make somthing worthy of people buying it and getting good value, I have not really shown it off or had anyone look at my site past the occasional web crawler, and I did 100% make this. Its called 0verload and the things it does, I will now list. Automatcially tracks versions on all your source code. It dosnt replace GIT, its for the saves you do between checkins...that one version you should have saved .it does..automatically. even oob writes get a version. I cant live with out it... somthing about telling my llm ....get me that thing I wrote like 2 days ago or a week ago or whenever.you can just tell the llm kinda where when and it will go get it and merge it in....I have files with hundreds of versions and you would think it would be annoying but if you have an llm ...I ship claude skills with it so it wakes up knowing how to use it, AND that brings me to somthing else it does..

Show HN: Open OneNote Viewer in Rusthttps://github.com/emsi/OneNoteViewerFor more than 15 years, I accumulated hundreds upon hundreds of notes in OneNote. I loved the application and still consider it one of the best and most distinctive note-taking tools available. Its free-form canvas supports a way of organizing information that Markdown-based tools simply cannot reproduce.The problem was that using OneNote became increasingly inconvenient for me. Microsoft never released a native Linux client, so I kept a Windows VM and later even a separate Windows small PC largely for OneNote. The OneNote Web Clipper for Firefox eventually stopped being supported, removing one of the ways I regularly captured information.The web version did not solve the problem. In particular, it could not search across all my notebooks at once. To find a note, I first had to remember which notebook contained it, which rather defeated the purpose of having a searchable archive. I also found the web application slow and substantially more limited than the desktop client.I looked at al

Show HN: Collab Word in Web - A collaborative DOCX Editor with MS Word Parityhttps://collab.word-in-web.com/TLDR: Collab WIW is a DOCX editor with MS Word parity that supports real-time collaborative editing. The collab layer is end to end encrypted and uses ephemeral rooms with stable share URLs. Ever collab room lives in only memory. Collaborator saved copies can bring the room back online at the same URL and reconcile offline edits.The MS Word parity DOCX editor: I made a previous HN post about the editor itself. It is a pure JS DOCX editor that renders and edits the original document directly in the DOM instead of converting it into some other format.I benchmarked it pretty heavily against thousands of pages to push for pixel and feature parity, including equations, tables, 3D objects, headers, footnotes, etc... I am not going to get too deep into that because I already posted a ShowHN earlier. The parity report has all of the fixtures I tested and the actual results.Edit: Link to previous HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48995304The server: The collab BE was actually inspired by

Show HN: I built a cross-browser extension that controls fingerprinting surfaceshttps://privacything.com/en/Hello Hacker News! I’m Tomasz, creator of Privacy Thing, a browser extension for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers. I’ve just released its Preview version.Privacy Thing aims to reduce browser fingerprinting—the tracking of users without cookies.It began as an internal project: a simple location simulator. Over time, I expanded it to cover more fingerprinting surfaces. It now has 13 protection categories affecting 50+ browser APIs and methods: Geolocation, time and locale settings, Canvas, WebGL, Audio, Navigator, Screen, Client Hints, Battery, WebRTC, Dedicated Workers, Service Workers, and Shared Workers. The list is still growing.The extension is fully configurable. Users can create regional profiles and assign them to domain rules, with separate protection settings for each domain. Or they can skip domain rules and rely on the global configuration—I’m not here to decide what works best for them :-)Privacy Thing uses Manifest V3, with all its pros and cons.

Ask HN: Looking for testers for my RAM-based Linux distributionhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102865Hi,I have been working on a project called Invelinux for quite some time now, and now that I have released the release candidate versions, I thought about posting it on Hacker News for people to try it out.The thing that makes it stand out is its use of the Toybox userspace project, a BSD-licensed alternative to Busybox and musl C library instead of the GNU C library. It also features a very minimal framework called AMPS (Automatically Mounted Packaging System) which mounts an external drive that functions as the non-volatile storage part of the OS. System configurations, applications/scripts etc. are all stored inside the /storage/AMPS directory. Since the base system is running on RAM, when the system is rebooted, the whole system gets wiped clean. But the external storage and configurations stay intact, allowing you to load your configurations easily.To access and edit these configurations, several custom TUI tools were made so the user doesn't have to mess around in /storage/AMPS/e

Show HN: MandoCode Desktop – Native Windows AI Coding Assistant on Ollama .NEThttps://github.com/DevMando/MandoCode.DesktopQuick backstory on how this version came to be: the original MandoCode is a CLI, and its UI is built with RazorConsole — Blazor components rendered into a terminal. Genuinely clever tech! I wanted tabs, though, and when I attended MS Build this year I got a good look at what WinUI apps could do and saw the potential to give the original agent some actual windows and tabs. Having up to 4 agents running in one window is pretty cool. Aside from that — tabs! I feel like everything is a chat these days, and for some reason my brain keeps screaming AGENTS, not chats, at me. I love the tabbed-browser experience a lot moreSome of the stuff I got to toy with once the plumbing worked:- Context snapshots — closing an agent archives the conversation instead of deleting it, and you can snapshot mid-conversation to get an AI-written recap you can hand to a different model or a fresh agent and have it pick up the thread. You pick the LLM from a dropdown right when you create the snapshot.- Transcript
