Show HN: Skim – a minimalist open-source email client for Windows (MIT)https://skim-tech.com/I built Skim because I was super dissatisfied with all existing Windows clients.I mean, it's not a rocket science, there should be some lightweight modern solution, isn't it? So I decided to create a client that just, you know, MAKES SENSE and has design younger than dinosaurs.Key points:* Obsessed with installer size: it should be under 5Mb.* BYOK AI. Cowriter, agentic search, summarization and other AI stuff is powered by your own key for Anthropic/Openrouter, or you can connect your own OpenAI-compatible server (including local)* No bloat. It should be as contextual as possible: gives you right button when you need it. No menu at all. No integrations. Just email.* Instant startup, super modest on resources* Cool warm zine design with paper colors and really calming vibesIt's MIT - contribution and stars are welcome!

Show HN: Rendi, an agent harness on Trigger.dev without spinning up a VMhttps://github.com/mcheemaa/rendiHi all,Rendi is a full agent harness that runs background jobs, schedules, a real browser, and email without you needing to spin up a virtual machine. I built it for the ClickHouse and Trigger.dev hackathon but honestly super excited on how it came out.If you look at my github I have been working on deploying agents for a decent time now but mainly by spinning up VMs on Hetzner or AWS. The one thing I still wasn't able to crack was how to make these agents per tenant yourself without buying a huge bare metal machine to create micro VMs or use third party VM providers, but I think with Trigger.dev and this work on Rendi I can easily provision these agents per tenant without having to deal with all things VMs and also cost is so low.I also spent a lot of time on the UI and the component library. I literally came up with a brand for my project before starting it up hehe. I have also been thinking a lot more towards accessible UIs specially since it makes an agents life a lot easier when b

Show HN: An open source schema definition for datasheetshttps://nkorai.github.io/datasheet-schema/Not the first person to do this but all the other examples I've seen are either dead or miss the point. Why: I was designing a Eurorack compatible instrument and I did not want to brush up on now 10 years old college electrical engineering knowledge and I just want Claude to make me a PCB board. I realized that all of the sources for electrical component information are PDFs and not very nicely machine readable. That led me to ask why not and one of the gaps I see is a lack of an agreed upon easy to use schema for both extraction and consumption of datasheet information.So I've been building datasheet-schema. It's an open JSON Schema for the electrical specs in a component datasheet. One of the core idea's is that a number by itself is useless. "VOUT = 3.3V" tells you nothing until know it was measured at 1mA load, 25C, 4.3V in. So every value in the schema carries its test conditions and a pointer back to the page it came from. That last part matters to me because if a model extracts

Show HN: An interactive game of British Columbiahttps://bigfootsbc.ca/I recently drove through the beautiful lands of British Columbia. I've called this place home for a better part of 20 years, and I realized that I know very little outside the little bubble that I live in.So I created this interactive map/game where you play as the Sasquatch, roaming the land and discovering hidden gems, towns, and other wildlife. You can read up on the town's story, view pictures to get a sense of what they look like, and stuff like that.I wanted to put this out there for those who are curious about our lovely province and enjoy roaming around.I am a software developer, but this app is vibe-coded. I do believe that this kind of usage of AI is fantastic--to better understand the world around us through immersive simulation.Let me know what you guys think!

Show HN: PMG, open source package firewallhttps://github.com/safedep/pmgHi HNI am the founder of SafeDep. We have been detecting malicious packages for a while. Coming from DevSecOps background, I always considered malicious package detection & protection to be a build stage problem. But I was wrong since the S1ngularity and early Shai-Hulud days.In 2026, we pretty much started worrying more about our own dev machines than CI/CD environment. Depending only on threat intelligence data (OSV / SafeDep / Socket / any other source) to protect our own dev machines did not feel right. We wanted to build a multi-layered protection that can get 100% visibility of OSS packages coming in, and can protect against known and “hopefully” unknown threats. That’s how Package Manager Guard (PMG) started. Core idea was simple:- Start a local proxy (localhost)- Make sure supported package managers like npm, pnpm, pip etc. goes through it- Use threat intelligence data to fail fast on known malicious packages- Apply policies like dependency cooldown as additional guardrails- Ad

Show HN: An MCP server that turns async-work practices into toolshttps://github.com/open-and-async/mcpMore than a decade ago, I adopted the self-imposed rule, if I answer a question more than once, the third time I need to be able to answer with a URL. Today, I published one very large URL - a book distilling what I learned from helping people work remotely at GitHub, and I wanted to rethink my rule for the age of AI.What if, instead of a URL, I could create an interactive experience that could tailor the guidance to your particular situation?What I ended up building was an Open and Async Advisor MCP server. To install (in claude or any other AI):> claude mcp add open-async -- npx -y @open-and-async/mcpTransparently, yes, it's from a book I wrote which launched today, but the MCP server is open source and free to use. No purchase required. It knows the key principles of the book, and has specialized tools like `draft_decision_doc`, `convert_meeting_to_async`, `score_status_update`, `triage_sync_vs_async`.This is an experiment for me, and I'm genuinely curious if it's helpful for others

Show HN: VoxThermic – A macOS journaling app that uses Apple's Foundation Modelshttps://voxthermic.jbri.workers.dev/TL;DR version: I made a macOS journaling app that use Foundation Models to analyze entries for mood + written themes, and also has voice transcription, because I couldn't find any other journaling app that does those things.OK, now for the longer, I-rambled-too-much version:For the past few weeks I've been working on a macOS journaling app called VoxThermic.The idea for it came from my own journaling habits, where my mood tends to shift a lot depending on whatever I'm dealing with. I've tried some journaling apps, but I've never found one that can analyze mood or see how my mood changes depending on what I'm writing about.So I just figured I'd build it myself. I've been experimenting a lot with Apple's Foundation Models and Natural Language frameworks, and those all work on-device and offline (which is good because there's no way I'm sending journal entries to some AI company's data centers!)But there's one problem with using Foundation Models: they're tiny. About 3 billion parameters,

Ask HN: Does a local, Git-backed LLM "compiler" for personal notes make sense?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48968447Back in 2012, my very first startup was a note-taking and document storage app. Think Evernote meets Google Drive, but with a much faster UI. We managed to claw our way up to 1,800 active users. Then Google announced 25GB of free storage for Drive, and overnight, our business model evaporated. We had to shut down the company.I've been through the startup ringer four times since then. Despite the explosion of knowledge management tools over the last decade, I still manage almost my entire life and todo list in a single Markdown file. I’ve grown to severely distrust SaaS note-taking apps. I don't want my second brain held hostage by a monthly subscription, and I don't want it locked in a proprietary database.I'm thinking about building something new in this space, completely free and open-source, and I want a sanity check to see if anyone actually cares about this approach.The Idea: A lightweight, native desktop and Mac/Windows app that acts as an "LLM compiler" for your local files (ins

How Google decided to Destroy its Search Monopolyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48945074This is a bit of a rant, yet it's one I think is rightly deserved.Over the last several months, Google has exploded with:* extreme delays in rendering search results* popups of captcha + prove you're human, for simple searches* extreme delays in doing anything after hitting enter on searchInstead of taking 100ms or less to return search results, it now takes 5+ seconds, 10+ seconds sometimes. Often with a captcha in between.This 100% isn't me. I've noticed these changes, discussed with others, and it's happening to people across a wide swath of industry, and situations. Co-workers at home. Elderly parents. People at workplaces. The list goes on.This is worst at night, and of course that's when I tend to work the most. It's so bad, that once I see that first captcha, I just switch to Bing. Yes, Bing. Kagi works, but from where I sit its results have been sliding and slipping, sadly. I don't know what they've been focusing on at Kagi recently, but it's not what it once was. Likely, relia

Show HN: Ratel, give agents unlimited tools and skills without context bloathttps://github.com/ratel-ai/ratelHi HN! We're Giacomo and Roberto, authors of Ratel (https://github.com/ratel-ai/ratel)We used to help SaaS companies build agents on top of their products. Whenever we wanted to expand the agents’ complexity/scope, by adding more and more tools and instructions, we always run in the same issue: context bloat, with frequent hallucinations and sky high token bills. So we started constantly engineering the agents, dynamically loading tools, splitting them into subagents, inventing our own way to support skillsAnd that's exactly when we started building Ratel: a library to let your agent keep its full catalog of tools and skills, but progressively disclosing only the few that actually matter for each turn. Now you can grow your agent's capabilities without breaking it or taking out a loan for itPeople are already using it in production, with a user cutting their token cost up to 81% in the first month without compromising the accuracyWe support both keyword and semantic retrieval, all in-p

Show HN: I've built tldraw for HTML and Markdown pages (with encryption)https://pastehex.dev/Hello, HN!This is a small app I've built to satisfy three pains/wishes I've had for a while and I think there might be people out there who can benefit from it as well.1. I want to pop up a new tab, start writing my thoughts and, maybe, share them over the internet. As fast as I can and with as little friction possible. tldraw totally does this for drawing stuff in a whiteboard but for text, Obsidian is a local tool that requires installing and Notion is too involved. I want a simple link that just works the moment you navigate to the page.2. Sometimes I wanted to share code or other text artifacts with customers over Discord, but the platform caps messages to a certain length before it forces you to submit a .txt. Pastebin kinda fills this gap but it's an old site and it doesn't handle BIG pastes very well also it doesn't double as your own document vault (plus I don't care about all their "public pastes" thing).3. This is a recent one. Now, due to AI tools, everyone is sharing Markdo

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
