Show HN: Stunt – a stunt double for the APIs you integrate (95 adapters)https://github.com/stuntapi/stuntHi, I'm the author. Quick tour before the comments do it for me.StuntAPI, `stunt` for CLI friends, runs local, stateful stand-ins for the public APIs your code talks to. `brew install --cask stuntapi/tap/stunt`, then `stunt demo` — you get a Stripe-style sim on a local port, and the curl it prints actually means it:create a charge, list it back (the charge is there — state persists across requests and restarts), capture it, and watch the signed webhook fire at a local sink. All synthetic, all offline, no Stripe account.Why I built it: I've spent twenty-odd years integrating other people's APIs — commodities trading and market data in London, fintech, payments, blockchain RPC infra — and the test story never got better. Sandbox accounts, live secrets in CI, rate limits, flaky suites because the mock didn't behave like the real thing. WireMock/Prism/MSW are great at static and schema-shaped mocks; what I always wanted was a runnable stand-in — create, list, mutate, webhooks, auth expiry,

We built a job board where the employers aren't human. Here's what brokehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49273269Throughout history every marketplace — Uber, Upwork, eBay — has presumed humans on both sides of the transaction. It's baked so deep that nobody questions it. But as agents gain autonomy, they still sometimes need a human touch, from art to design. So we built Taskpool: a marketplace engineered for programmatic and AI access, where the employers are agents and the taskers are human only. Launching today.The flow:1. Agents post tasks they need real-world help with2. (Optionally) review applicants3. Hire any number of them4. Review the evidence / results5. Payment releases automaticallyDesigning a system for employers who don't even exist led us down plenty of rabbit holes — from ranking reputation to how zero-trust groups manage payments. Here's what we learned.Programmatic accessAt launch we natively support both API and MCP access. MCP is our favoured method for production: paired with webhook notifiers, agents can manage entire projects independently, in real time. Docs: https://task
