Show HN: Omacosy – Omarchy-style tiling desktop for macOS, no SIPhttps://github.com/paulsp94/omacosyI have been using omarchy on my tower since nearly a year now, shortly after it was released first. I really love the experience I am having with it but I still use my macbook for daly work, so I wanted to recreate a similar experience on it. Thats why I created omacosy, a setup for tiling windows, custom menu bar, some themes from omarchy, focus follows mouse, focus rings around windwos, some mac flavors with trackpad events and a custom mission control overview for your workspaces.I used AeroSpace over yabai for the tiling window manager because I didnt wanted to compromise on SIP which is a mac security feature. It is supposed to be keyboard first like omarchy to move windows organize workspaces etc The setup runs around 157mb of ram and consists of AeroSpace, Karabiner (for the super key), and five small self build swift binaries.I am running it daily on my M1 max macbook, currently on macOS26. I havent tested it much on other macbooks or macOS versions. The install script creates Aug 20, 2026 2:12 PM

Is this AWS RI/SP simulation engine interesting / valuable?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49374412TLDR; This AWS RI/SP tool we built might have unique features that are important especially for companies running large, high-variability workloads with high coverage targets. We want feedback on how true that is and whether we should open this up to others, possibly even for free or as OSS.Setup: We're a small cloud cost consultancy, but not a tools vendor. We do build a lot of internal tooling for our own use. We serve companies spending 7- to 9-figures (USD) annually.One of the internal tools we built over the past several years is a simulation engine for RIs/SPs that can do a number of things, some of which we believe might be one-of-a-kind in the space today and could be valuable to others.1.) Visualize the entire commitment savings/discount curve for any commitment type (any RI, any SP, of any flavor), showing the exact savings achieved and the marginal discount rate at every level of commitment. This unlocks what we feel is the best purchasing strategy: "buy SP dollars or RI uniAug 20, 2026 1:36 PM

Show HN: Open-source tool turning company knowledge into Duolingo-like courseshttps://www.scibly.com/de/My buddy and I have been working on a side project for the past few months called Scibly.The idea is pretty simple:Companies already have an incredible amount of knowledge sitting in PDFs, documentation, internal wikis, etc. The problem is turning all of that information into something employees can actually learn from and retain.For this reason we decided to build Scibly, a tool that automatically turns boring company knowledge into interactive, Duolingo-like (but better) learning experiences.Today, we decided to open-source the whole thing.We're still pretty inexperienced when it comes to open source, so we'd genuinely love to hear your feedback, whether that's about the product, the idea, the codebase, or how we're approaching the project.Short product demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcpLUNBRhQwGithub: https://github.com/scibly-dev/sciblyWould love to hear what you guys think!Aug 20, 2026 1:11 PM

Show HN: Markdown Buddy – Native macOS Markdown Editor with Quick Look and Xcodehttps://markdownbuddy.inawa.app/I write a lot of project documentation in Markdown, and two things kept annoying me on macOS: Quick Look shows .md files as raw text, and Xcode shows a README as plain source. So I built the app I wanted. Swift and AppKit, 4.8 MB, sandboxed. The editor is a plain NSTextView. The rendered view is WKWebView, so it uses the system engine rather than a bundled browser, which is where the size difference comes from. Quick Look and Finder thumbnails are separate app extensions sharing the same renderer.Beyond preview: open a folder as a workspace and browse every .md in a tree, search across all of them, and see a graph of the links between documents with broken ones flagged. An Xcode Source Editor extension opens the file you are looking at, rendered, from the Editor menu.One implementation detail I found non-obvious. The live preview restyles the NSTextStorage as you type. The hard rule is that it must never touch attributes while an input method is composing, or Japanese, Chinese and KoreAug 20, 2026 1:08 PM

Algorithm Interview: a conversation between two parrotshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49373709Algorithm Interview: a conversation between two parrotsAll children know that parrots can talk. All adults understand that parrots simply repeat sounds.You'll laugh, but these same adults actually believe that an Algorithm Interview is a conversation between a very smart algorithm expert who is trying to find out whether the candidate understands algorithms at an acceptable level…So, how many ycombinator.com readers have successfully passed the algorithms interview? Probably tens of thousands.Well, how many of them were able to understand that breaking down sorting into independent stages is a Fundamental Discovery? Zero!Zero questions and comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49314420P.S. Have you ever thought that NOT everyone has a mental model?

Does anyone find AI code review useful?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49369710I’m genuinely trying to understand the point of AI code review.Once an LLM generated change gets into a few hundreds or thousands of lines, a human reviewer can barely read the whole thing in any meaningful way. And even if they can, why should they spend their time reviewing thousands of lines generated by someone else’s AI?If the code is going to be reviewed by another AI anyway, why doesn’t the developer opening the PR just run one more iteration before submitting it?Is the assumption that after a thorough implementation pass, having a different AI review the code “some time later” will catch things the original AI somehow missed?Or is the assumption that my precious "Code Review AI" has some superior prompt and sacred collection of skills that makes it meaningfully different from the AI the developer used to write the code?If that’s the case, why not just give developers that reviewer AI locally and have them iterate against it before opening the PR?What’s the point?
