NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope previously viewed this planetary nebula in 2000, imaging the lion face-shaped target in visible light and revealing features such as the “mane” of hazy, comet-shaped objects.

Show HN: Edgi – Letterboxd or Strava for your brainhttps://app.edgi.tv/Hi HNExcited to share edgi.tv - an educational media platform where the things you learn accumulate into a visual map of your intellectual interests. The experiment is whether you can build a consumer product around intellectual identity, something like Letterboxd or Strava but for your brain.The main entry point is a curated TikTok-style feed that surfaces vids from creators like Kurzgezagt, VSauce, AstroAlexandra, Cleo Abram, 3Blue1Brown, etymologynerd, etc with interactive games accessible on top of the videos. You can also create podcasts, quizzes, etc with AI on any topic you’re interested in and earn XP towards concepts.Concepts are the unit that connect all media together and create the knowledge graph and power the rec algo. As you engage with a concept, you have a chance to earn a Concept Card (a Pokemon-style collectible for that idea). The concepts then accumulate on a mind map, which doubles as a social surface so you can see what friends are interested in and where your in

Show HN: Try Benzi – A coding harness/agent beating Claude Code itself on Sonnethttps://benzi.fly.dev/aboutHi y'all. Been working on something that should've been made a long time ago imo. It compiles codebases into O(1) hashmaps that the agent queries to discover the structure of your code/answer questions/write code.It also does complete static analysis checks on any writes the agent makes.Don't take my word for it though. Here are the benchmarks: https://benzi.fly.dev/benchmark. on 2/20 tests, Claude Code (mostly Sonnet on one task) regressed or timed out. Benzi didn't because of course, it has a map it can query and not get lost in the sauce. On the other 18 it is cheaper, faster, or often both.Would love to get some early adoption and criticism!(Only available on Windows for now. soz. and also keep an eye on the benchmarking page; I think I can push it far more -- no promises, still work in progress. Haven't thoroughly tested greenfielding experience either.)(another note: VS Code extension/website is running DeepSeek V4 flash. not Sonnet. Everything mostly built with CC Sonnet tho )

Show HN: ESP32 Bowling System technical write-uphttps://nicholas-a-hall.github.io/openlanelink/Hi everyone! I'm the ESP32 Bowling guy from a few weeks ago, back with a technical write-up and a repo link.Since my last post, I've received -tons- of support and encouragement for the project. I'm absolutely blown away. I didn't think there would be much interest!This last week, I spent a ton of time working on the prototype. It can trigger my pinsetter machines and read ball state, there's a basic state machine for the game and a React UI for the bowlers. I've also built the prototype uart bridge which connects an ESP32 gateway node to a raspberry pi lane compute module, which acts as a bridge between the ESPNOW mesh and lane-external services.The last major blocker is object detection on an ESP32-CAM module. I could go with a webcam wired to the Pi, but that feels like cheating. I really want the Pi running the state machine, websocket and REST API endpoints only. One of my key constraints for this project is that each node serves one purpose only, and it performs that purpose well

Show HN: Llmem – Local persistent memory for AI coding, no embeddingshttps://github.com/netrixone/llmemHi folks. This part of AI coding always felt really dumb: after working on many projects it repeats the same mistakes, uses awkward patterns or looks up stuff over and over. It just does not remember. Skills exists, but I don't like maintaining lots of markdown files. There were other solutions for this and I'm sure there are even more now, but I simply did not fancy those for one reason or another.So I wrote my own good-enough persistent memory which easily integrates with all AI coding tools I use. Lightweight, local, 1 Go binary + 1 SQLite file. Speaks MCP + good old REST API I can curl.After some testing I settled on BM25 lexical search with optional WordNet synonym expansions - no embeddings, no vector DB, no external API calls. A downside is English memories only, but that's OK for me.Memory_context pulls priority-tagged memories at session start, auto-consolidation merges near-duplicates to prevent bloat. Later I added optional memory types, project scopes and hashtags.I've been

Launch HN: ProvenMetal (YC S26) delivers circuit boards in days instead of weekshttps://provenmetal.comHey HN, we’re Will & Johnny from ProvenMetal (https://provenmetal.com). You send us design files or specs and we give you assembled boards domestically in days.The US produced 30% of PCBs globally in 2000, now they produce 4%. Chinese manufacturers have completely dominated this space at 55% of global production.Now, the need for a domestic PCB supply chain is higher than ever before, yet the infrastructure has been dissolving over the last 2 decades. What is left is mostly small family run manufacturers (CMs) that have been operating in largely the same, labor intensive way since the early 2000’s.When you place an order through a CM it typically takes several days to receive a quote and complete design for manufacture review, and then you have to source all of the components (the hardest part) and bare boards yourself, then wait anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the assembly and testing of those boards.We started off assembling circuit boards out of a garage with prosumer

Show HN: I was wrong about scrollytelling landing pageshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49185678My position for years: minimal static landing page, one clear offer, optimised for conversion. Everything else is designers entertaining themselves. Then the “built this 3D scrolling page with Fable in 5 minutes” posts started going around and my customers began asking for that. I pushed back, lost the argument, and built a few.Two things surprised me.First, the viral demos don’t survive contact with a client. I tested so many circulating prompt/skill setups. One-shot output looks great; changing anything afterwards is brutal... The demos are impressive because nobody in the thread ever has to revise them.Second, and worse for me: dwell time and conversion on the pages I built came out ahead of the minimal pages I’d have argued for. Small sample, and I’d like someone to tell me why it’s noise.So I built the thing that fixes the first problem: prebuilt interactive widgets that stay editable instead of a generated blob you re-prompt. https://scrollytelling.ai my own landing page is now b

Show HN: AppScout – App Store downloads, revenue and widgetshttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/appscout-app-metrics/id6770866569Hey hackers!Signing in to App Store Connect just to check downloads or MRR is a friction. I wanted a simpler way. Ideally, just to look at a widget on my iPhone. There are some apps, but the design and implementation made me think here's a gap that I can potentially fill it with a new polished product. So I've built this app.It took me several months to start beta testing. But then I got feedback from users that they don't really want to share their App Store key credentials with a third-party app that uses a backend and collects data. So, I spent one more month pivoting to a private app by dropping a backend and storing credentials on a user's device in a keychain. So, now the app directly talks to Apple's API and there's no account registration. You add a team key - the app fetches data. App also uses background tasks to fetch most recent data so you don't need to open it every day to keep the data fresh. And as a final point - I added widgets to both home and lock screens.Please let

Do You Think OpenAI Is Apple Circa the 1980s?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49178393OpenAI is a deeply mismanaged company. Most recently, a blog post that feels like it has got to have dozens of PR violations, responding to the Apple lawsuit.More broadly, OpenAI’s main problem is that it does not have a real competitive advantage. No real models do; the real differentiation is price; they will become commodities. The need to move upwards in the market in enterprise software is difficult since the current stack should remain the same, since sticking with Salesforce plus its new AI features is much simpler than the cost of switching to an AI-first startup version, which won’t be around 3 to 5 years from now. So consumer hardware and trying to become the next Apple could work, except you would likely have to focus on people not in the Apple ecosystem because of the double-sided lock-in Apple has.The opposite dynamic works in consumer and mobile, really. Apple with AI is a much worse experience than something AI-first built from the ground up. Especially considering the c

Show HN: Sagorax, a Three.js/WebGPU Arena Shooter in the Browserhttps://sagorax.com/I built Sagorax because I missed the speed and simplicity of UT99 and UT2k4. It now has both Instagib and classic weapons Deathmatch with plasma combos, flak, shotguns, charged rocket salvos, loadouts, adrenaline abilities, tactical bots and full controller support.No installation, just pick a gamertag and play: https://sagorax.comThe client is built with TypeScript, Three.js and WebGPU. Under the hood it uses FSR 3-based upscaling, adaptive dynamic resolution, GPU pipeline warmup, screen-space reflections, dynamic lighting and shadows, visibility culling and a custom post-processing pipeline.Multiplayer is next if there is enough interest (looking good so far).If you had told me a few months ago that this would be possible in a browser, I wouldn’t have believed you. But Opus 5 + GPT-5.6-Sol = GODMODE.Feedback is very welcome.
