Show HN: OtoDock, run Claude Code and Codex as a team of agents on your serverhttps://github.com/OtoDock/oto-dock/Hi HN, i am Dimitris,I have been using Claude Code and Codex agents, for some time now from the beggining i had been using them from inside my terminal mainly for coding.For the past 3 years i kept building so i have a homelab and a business server, which already has a lot of vms, so a lot of things to manage.So i decided to start building my own ideal version of using claude code, and codex flexibly and connect them easily with all my vms and infra but at the same time keep using them for coding, and as a personal assistant for daily use.So for the past months I built OtoDock. Its a self hosted platform, that runs real CLaude code and Codex as the engine. On top of them i build a live dashboard with websockets and integrated in depth the clis, so its even nicer to work with the cli through the dashboard instead of working on the terminal. I even ended up integrating interactive terminals as well (due to the subscription change Anthropic was trying to do for harnesses) so you can also Jul 15, 2026 4:11 PM

Show HN: Rules-free solo-only client for the Paperback tabletop gamehttps://wanderinghorse.net/gaming/paperback/solo.htmlMy past couple of weeks were spent writing an app with which to play the word-spelling tabletop game Paperback in the browser.Tim Fowers, creator and publisher of the game, has given me permission to post my homemade electronic copy of the game (initially built so that i could print-and-play a copy with "US-Mini" size cards), and recently sent me (much to my surprise) the publisher's official graphical assets and an invitation to use them in this little side-project(!!!).The version housed at that link has a known bug or two (there's one too many 7-cent W's, for one thing) but it's otherwise believed to be usable for its intended purpose: allowing an experienced Paperback player to sit and play solo mode without the app interfering rules- or dictionary-wise. (My only real fuss about their official app is the locked dictionary. It does not allow the word "pawn", nor a wide range of other perfectly viable words.

Show HN: 9lives – Self-healing test runner that refuses to mask real bugshttps://github.com/Quality-Max/9livesI built 9lives because coding agents kept breaking my Playwright tests in the dumbest way: rename a button, the test goes red, and the agent — or I — rewrites a perfectly good test.9l heal login.spec.ts runs the test, classifies the failure, and heals it in tiers:Tier 1 is offline and deterministic. When a selector stops matching, 9lives re-finds the element in the page snapshot Playwright captures at failure (data-testid > id > aria-label > text > class — the most stable surviving anchor wins) and rewrites the locator. No LLM, no network, no account. Most selector drift heals in seconds, for free. Unlike Healenium-style tools, it needs no baseline DOM from previous green runs — it works from the failure itself.Tier 2 uses the subscription you already pay for. For structural changes it shells out to your installed claude / codex / opencode CLI in headless mode, so the fix rides your existing coding-agent plan. No new API key to mint. (Raw ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY work too.)EvJul 10, 2026 6:01 PM

Show HN: Mojave Paint for macOS, edit images like it's 1999https://mojavepaint.app/We all need a swiss army knife for images. A tool for really getting in there and dealing with the pixels precisely. You might be combining images into a sprite sheet, you might be matting images to squares, cutting out solid backgrounds, re-tinting graphical elements. For a website, a video game, for an app.There's a million photo editors, there's a million design tools, and Mojave Paint can do those things in varying degrees but "graphical asset production" is its first and primary mission.It's cheap! $9.99 (one-time, sad I even have to say that) for the "Pro" version. It's Mac-only, and Apple Silicon Mac at that. Does it look a little like Photoshop 5.5 from the year 1999? Maybe a little but also it's got plenty of its own original ideas. (Blog post on that is forthcoming…)I've always been passionate about image editing tools for the technically-minded so I'm throwing my hat in the ring in that space. And sure GIMP is for the technically-minded but boy is it ugly on the Mac!Jul 10, 2026 12:29 PM

Show HN: Banana Battle – DOS Gorillas rebuilt as a web gamehttps://michael480th.github.io/Banana-Battle/As a kid, I loved to play the DOS Gorillas game where you would throw bananas at your opponent, smashing cities as you go.I wanted to play it, so I rebuilt the classic QBasic/DOS "Gorillas" game from scratch as a mobile web app. It is playable in the browser and installable to your iPhone home screen.It's all vanilla HTML/Canvas/JavaScript. No frameworks, no build step, no dependencies, no tracking. A single static page served from GitHub Pages.A few bits that were fun to build: - Destructible terrain: buildings are painted to an offscreen canvas and explosions erase pixels - Ballistic physics with wind, sub-stepped so a fast banana can't tunnel through a thin building between frames. - Native share sheet (Web Share API) so you can text a friend your result with a "beat my score" challenge linkIt's hot-seat two-player (pass the phone, or share a keyboard: arrows to aim, space to throw).No original Microsoft code or assets — the code and pixel art are all my own (with some help from ClaJul 10, 2026 6:14 AM

I got tired of every .NET HTML-to-PDF library so I built a free one from scratchhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48853670Hi all, I've just open-sourced NetPDF, a project I've been building to scratch an itch that's bugged the .NET community for as long as I can remember, there has never been a genuinely free, high-quality HTML-to-PDF library.Every existing route has a real tradeoff:Headless-browser wrappers (Puppeteer/Playwright/Chromium): huge footprint, a native browser to ship and secure, a process to spawn per render.wkhtmltopdf wrappers: built on an unmaintained engine.Commercial libraries: excellent, but licensed per seat/server."Free" libraries: AGPL (viral copyleft) or a revenue cap that becomes a license fee once you grow.After years of working around this, I decided to build the thing I wanted. NetPDF is a real HTML/CSS layout engine written from scratch in C# - the same category as Prince or WeasyPrint, not "automate a browser."What it isA pure C# / .NET 10 engine that parses HTML + CSS and lays it out itself: block, inline, flexbox, grid, and tables, fragmentation across pages, paged-media (@Jul 9, 2026 11:14 PM

Show HN: Learn to Read with SRS++https://letterspractice.com/showHNHey everyone. The short story here is that I've made an early literacy app that you are encouraged to try with your pre-literate or only-sorta-literate kids. It's intended to be minimalist, friendly, and efficient. Its preferred-usage pattern is parent-child co-use, and my hope is that it resonates values-wise with parents who are generally screen-time averse (I am such a parent).The main landing page is https://letterspractice.com. The submission link is an annotated view of a live study session, showing some of how the engine surfaces content, and how user-interactions feed back into the engine.The slightly longer story is that (like many around here) I've had a long interest in Anki and SRS generally, and been frustrated at the gap between its effectiveness (high) and its success with respect to penetration into the mainstream (low).So: many years ago I started playing with a web based framework ( https://github.com/patched-network/vue-skuilder ) for SRS based apps with a broader inJul 9, 2026 6:52 PM
