Show HN: HWT (Hash Web Tokens) – minimalist protocol for auth statehttps://www.jimmont.com/hwt/My frustration solving auth with JWTs led to reinventing the wheel for more predictable token integrity and transparency, while improving flexibility. The mix of features separates concerns more cleanly than what's been available, allowing higher throughput, custom codecs, delegation to both services and domains while easing key rotation and other practicalities.The design is focused on the token as state guarantee, not creation, revocation and the range of other separate concerns and application responsibilities. The spec conventions attempts to ease development with jurisdiction/data sovereignty and authorization in the authz field. It also enables and eases delegation between services and domains without centralized service exposure. The implementation is standalone and has demos for Deno, Cloudflare, etc in https://github.com/hwt-protocolFeedback and critique of the security logic and approach appreciated.Apr 15, 2026 1:24 PM

Show HN: Context Harness – Local first context engine for AI toolshttps://github.com/parallax-labs/context-harnessContext Harness is a single Rust binary that gives AI tools like Cursor and Claude project-specific memory. It ingests docs, code, Jira tickets, Slack threads, and anything else into a local SQLite database, indexes them with FTS5 and optional vector embeddings, and exposes hybrid search via CLI and an MCP-compatible HTTP server.I built this because I kept hitting the same problem: AI tools are powerful but have no memory of my complex multi-repo project. They can't search our internal docs, past incidents, or architecture decisions. Cloud RAG services exist, but they're complex, expensive, and your data leaves your machine. I wanted something I could point at my sources and just run `ctx sync all`.Quick start: # Install (pre-built binaries available for macOS/Linux/Windows) cargo install --git https://github.com/parallax-labs/context-harness.git # Create config and initialize ctx init # Sync your data sources (filesystem, Git, S3, or Lua scripts) ctx sync all # Search from CLI ctx seaFeb 26, 2026 6:26 AM
