Show HN: Zmina – clipboard with per-app paste transformshttps://zmina.app/Hi HN,Zmina sits between copy and paste. It reads what's in the clipboard and where you paste, and offers a short list of actions you can apply. Without switching apps.The problem: you copied the log and need to paste it into the issue, but it contains sensitive info (emails, IPs, usernames in paths, etc.). So you need to remove all of these from the log before publishing. It’s probably a couple of regexes.Another problem: you want to paste Rust code into Discord chat. So you have to wrap it in ```rust to have it formatted and highlighted properly.One more: you want to paste a large fragment of text (or code) from the clipboard into an email. As a file. Probably you will: create a new file, paste into it, save the file and then attach it to the email. And then probably you will want to remove this temp file.What about pasting an image from the clipboard as a data URL, pasting CSV as a table into Markdown, pasting JSON as a .env file?I built Zmina to resolve these (and other) problems.

Show HN: Pack AI and scientific models as self-contained boxeshttps://github.com/suffro/scrollcaseHi! I've been working on an open-source project called Scrollcase. I started this cause moving Python or ML projects between machines is often painful. You need the right Python version, libraries, native builds, model files, and so on. So instead of making someone rebuild a Python environment on their machine, Scrollcase packages everything once, including Python, locked dependencies, code, and model files.Then they can verify it, unpack it, and run it. No Python install, no pip install, no Docker, and no dependency to mantain. You just define what goes inside, lock the dependencies, and build a portable, self-contained, verifiable package that's ready to run.Would love feedback from people who had to package Python, ML, or scientific environments for machines they don't control.Aug 19, 2026 2:27 PM

I'm so f-n tired of the Internet It has become the worst placehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49361760Today, my 3-year-old Reddit account has been banned for no reason. They deleted all my posts and comments as well. Yesterday, the website I invested years of my time in SEO into was nuked by Google and lost its position overnight due to new anti-spam policies that rolled in. A month ago, on another project, I missed an email from a payment processing provider and lost payments and all revenue, only because Gmail put the most important email in spam. Nothing works well in this fucking shthle. I'm sick of that.Aug 19, 2026 2:02 PM
