Show HN: Reallyfrom.me – vouch that your message is from youhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49275954Having a message sent from someone who cared enough to read and write that message to you is important. But with agentic and autonomous methods of sending messages, it's harder to trust that any effort has gone into writing a message.So we created ReallyFrom.me -- write a message, generate a hash code and send the message to whomever with the link we create. The recipient can paste your message to confirm that it's identical. You can also have an option to make your message public on the verification page -- prolly good for public figures.Example #1 ///Public verification ///Hello world, I really like green eggs and ham.-ZakVerify: www.reallyfrom.me/zak/3XXY7GVExample #2 ////Private verification ////Please don't let them know I really hate green eggs and ham.-ZakVerify: www.reallyfrom.me/zak/VW5ZLNRAug 12, 2026 5:33 PM

Show HN: Kery – comments on your PR with a video of the feature workinghttps://github.com/Kery-HQ/KeryI ship all of my code via different agents, mainly Claude Code and Codex. And with 5 different sessions running on different worktrees, the only way for me to know if something broke is once it gets to the deployment stage or production.I even use Claude's /pr-review skill and it does catch most of the errors, but most of them are at code level, and it does not really catch what happens at the UI / UX / functionality side. If there's a section entirely rendered orange, your CC skill might just be useless.So I built Kery; a platform that checks your PRs, reads the diff and descriptions to understand the change intent, opens your preview deployment in a real browser, logs in, and tries to perform the exact thing the PR is for, and provides you evidence of that thing working or not.The comment is the product. I wanted the artifact to be the evidence rather than an opinion; it reduces the cognitive load from your brain needing to process every PR for what it is, instead you get an image orAug 12, 2026 2:45 PM

Show HN: Keen Code – an agentic-engineered coding agenthttps://github.com/mochow13/keen-codeHello community!I am here to share a coding agent I have built solo from scratch using agentic engineering. Written in Go, it's a proper coding agent, has features you expect from a useful agent for your daily work, with a minimal and simple UI.I have named it Keen Code. The repo is here: https://github.com/mochow13/keen-codeEven though it started as an experiment, it is now a full-fledged coding agent for real software engineering work. It supports multiple providers, skills, MCPs, multi-agent orchestration through subagents, automatic compaction, etc.I have been using it for real production-grade work myself, and also for developing itself.Notably, I have worked on two separate ideas in this coding agent:1. Turn MemoryIn a multi-turn conversation, tool outputs are removed, only tool call traces are retained. Within a single agent loop, agent sees full tool results but in the next turn, it doesn't see the tool results anymore.The greatest benefit of this approach is that a lot of toolAug 10, 2026 9:47 PM

Show HN: My local climbing gym from photogrammetryhttps://kmcheung12.github.io/climb-preview/tour/ae43c6e5Commented on yesterday's Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026), thought I might as well submit a Show HN.If you see climbing world cup/championship, there is this 3D modelling thing [1]. I want that for my weekly bouldering.I scanned my local climbing gym into 3D mesh using iphone. Built a simple editor to trim, merge, move/rotate meshes. You can interact with the mesh, view routes, view climb, etc. So this is unlike many gaussian splatting projects where the main use is for viewing. I built a pipeline in updating climbing walls. Climbing routes are manually annotated. Climbing videos are registered against the 3D mesh. Based on one input video, body positions resolved into 3D/4D space. you can view the body landmarks from different angle.COLMAP, OpenMVS, fastapi, svelte, database is just local json files. A read only build is exported so I can host on github pageIf you climb, or know someone who climbs, would love to hear your feedback. Do you usually record your climbs? If IAug 10, 2026 9:39 PM
