IMAGELifting the canopy on Earth’s forestsESA’s state-of-the-art Biomass mission has been designed to shed new light on the health and dynamics of the world’s forests, revealing how they are changing over time and, critically, enhancing our understanding of their role in the global carbon cycle. It is the first satellite to carry a fully polarimetric P-band synthetic aperture radar for interferometric imaging. Thanks to the long wavelength of P-band, around 70 cm, the radar signal can slice through the forest canopy and whole forest layer to measure the ‘biomass’, meaning the woody trunks, branches and stems, which is where trees store most of their carbon.

IMAGENASA’s BlueFlux Campaign Supports Blue Carbon Management in South FloridaIntroduction Along the southernmost rim of the Florida Peninsula, the arching prop roots or “knees” of red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) line the coast – see Photo 1. Where they dip below the water’s surface, fish lay their eggs, enjoying the protection from predators that the trees provide. Among their branches, wading birds, such as the great […]
Show HN: Scribble/write on your desktop, with any phone/tabletScribble/write on your desktop, with any phone/tablet - I'd like your feedback.Expressed is a way to make it easy to draw directly on your desktop using any phone or tablet - think along the lines of "I want to draw (on my screen) to help aid my discussion". The desktop is projected onto the phone/tablet, so you can actually see what you're about to scribble over - pinch/zoom and various tools provide the typical/expected drawing tools - and whatever you scribble is seen on the desktop.If you wanted to try (link to m/soft store): https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N694D0PN6GB?cid=hn01I've often wanted to scribble in code reviews, brainstorming/ideation - so figured, now that AI makes coding a little easier (cough cough); I'll turn that idea into a product.It took me (part time) about 7 months from initial idea, through validation, writing the product, loads of wrong turns (there are monsters in some of those branches, branches? heck that's a FOREST), etc etc to get where it is today -

Show HN: Roadmark – roadmaps that branch instead of overwriting the planHere is a demo board link: https://yourroadmark.com/board/roadmark-demoThe data are mostly made up. On the board you can find all pivots, description of “why” it happened, target/completed dates, decisions log, on some milestones confidence rate or how many times date has been moved.I built a roadmap management tool that keeps “why” your plan changed and branches the plan instead of overwriting it. The product recently launched and has 15 users on Pro Trial plan.The problem was that I invested to the early-stage project, which changed directions several times, without keeping track of changes. The project continued development, but it was always unclear why certain decisions were made and where it was moving.The solution was to make a visual tool with main mechanic to keep “why” pivots were made and never rewrite the original plan. To make it real you can:- Make an original roadmap with milestones that keep the title, description, target date, status and confidence- Branch the main roa
Show HN: 100% native Swift harness (NOT Electron)hi everybody, I’ve been working on this harness that is all native Swift for macOS.It’s fully featured with every feature i could find in cline, codex, and claude code.There is all swift command line tooIt’s taking me a long, long time, a few months to build this, and it’s fully open source Apache 2 licensed.Hoping people fork this and make many branchesI’m looking for people who want to work on something that has much lower memory usage and much more potential to be just more efficient. Every other single harness has is written in using electron, so this harness is really unique in this way. It’s connected to trusted router so that it has end-to-end encryption confidential mode as well as access to hundreds of models, any model in the world. It works great with Deepseek. it’s great for swift development ios development.and for people who love Linux, I also made a compatibility layer that lets you compile SwiftUI into native Linux so that you either can new or QT actually so that you c
Show HN: 49IDE – 2D Grid IDE for managing many agents, Git trees, issuesBeads tables (Steve Yegge's) for issue tracking. Can view git trees, terminals, issue tables, notes, and files all on one screen. Can connect multiple machines via private network (like tailscale)I had this issue where i really did not like the when i had many terminals open at the same time - when you try to code with 6+ agents at the same time, across, say, 3 projects, you get huge context fragmentation. I am a visual person, and its way easier for me to remember where things are if I placed them there - I build this 2D canvas for myself initially and then decided to open-source - the main goal there is to let me (or the user) to place the terminals, github trees (to track agent's progress across branches on different repos), beads issues tables across many machines all on the same screen. Most important note, once again, is since its a 2D canvas, it feels more like a citybuilder where i I decide where to put stuff and thus remember exactly where what is running. It boosts my efficie
Show HN: More Branchless OptimizationI thought the recent post about branchless optimization in Rust was pretty cool.This morning I came across a HN post about someone's hand rolled word counter in C. I realized it was a great candidate to remove branches from the inner loop.It gets more than a 2x speed up when branches are removed. Fun little experiment.
Show HN: Cockpit for you Claude Code agents in RustHi everyone!Hope you had a great day so far, and maybe its about to get just a little bit better (thanks Winter ;)So I had way to many terminal windows flying about when using Claude, and kept losing track of which terminal / session / project im in right now. So I built a solution for that, presented it to my team, and now we're using our new tool all the time, and developing it to be the most helpful agents organization tool we can think of.Unfortunatelly, Claude Code only for now, will do Codex soon tho.What it does for you:Main features: - Overview of your projects, with branches, worktrees, etc. - Start sessions in the integrated terminal, in whatever branch or worktree you want - Your projects run scripts all auto-discovered in one place - Complete Claude history to resume convo's easilyComfort: - Project overview: commits, PRs, notes, timeline with summaries - Context usage and session costs (to see what you would have payed without a subscription) - Cost aggregation for the ent
Show HN: Supapool – a Supabase per coding agent in ~400 mshi HN,I built supapool.io, an ephemeral full copy of supabase's services that you can spin up in ~400 ms (Auth, postgres, storage, realtime).so if you run multiple coding agents in parallel in different worktrees, they can now have their own copy of supabase without making changes that conflict with eachother.> why not use supabase docker locally?when I run 3-4 instances locally, my macbook gets hot and sometimes freezes.> why not use supabase branches?branches take minutes to setup, and are designed for persistence. this is expensive, and for a dev environment, it is too slow.> why not use mocks?mocks are bad for agents. i expect agents to test their migrations, SQL against real prod service behavior. agents hallucinate working mocks often. However, upside of mocks is that its faster and runs locally, but with supapool, the upside is less convincing.> how does it work/how is this economically viable?starting supabase in 400ms requires a few things: 1. a pool of ready supabase instance
Show HN: BixRouter – a non-linear AI chat interface for OpenRouterUsing chat interfaces often spawns many different thoughts, and while the AI and it's agents are okay at keeping track of it, I'm not always there. I needed to be able to see where my thoughts diverged, and retrace them back to the source. While mulling over a better interface, and trying to get memories into the OpenRouter CLI, I decided to roll it all into one.BixRouter is a tool for visualising your thoughts and conversations.- Every response is a node. Ask a follow-up from any of them and the conversation forks. - Memory and context follow each branch back to the root, so that your conversations can diverge completely and maintain a foundational root. - Long branches can be compacted, and the context window will start again from the latest compacted node in the graph. - Highlight tips spawn threads with context-driven definitions, so you can maintain direction without getting hung up on a misunderstood term. - By default, requests run off a shared OpenRouter key, which is limited t
Show HN: Code Review Enviornment for the Modern EraPlannotator 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 revi
Show HN: Run multiple Docker Compose instances for your agentsHey folks.While running multiple agents and git worktrees with a Docker Compose setup, I kept running into host port, container name, and volume collisions. Before building this tool, I tried some combinations of -p to namespace the projects/hash the worktree path for a unique name, managing .env files with port variables and Caddy for reverse-proxying, but I still had some issues getting everything to play together automatically without me making any changes to my compose files or thinking about it. I also tried a bunch of tools that try to address this but you end up with a Docker-in-docker setup, or they requires you to rewrite your compose files.Docktree solves these issues by dynamically generating Compose overrides without editing your compose file. It auto-allocates unique host ports, isolates networks and named volumes, and rewrites explicit container names so different branches of the same stack run simultaneously without manual tweaks. There's also an option where, for certai
