Show HN: Pictolab (online HDR image editor)https://pictolab.io/Source code: http://github.com/anchpop/pictolabI love HDR, but until recently dynamic HDR content was hard to render in the browser. But now, with browsers shipping support for WebGPU and canvases with extended color spaces, it's actually feasible.So what I wanted to was make an image editor capable of doing the simple edits I often need to do, but with full HDR support, which is rare in browser editors. Turning up the brightness on an HDR-capable monitor is a great way to see what your monitor can do :PI tried to go overboard in every way I could. So brightness/saturation/hue adjustments use the okLCH color space, and there's an option to do a "content-aware resize" with seam carving, which is fast because it's parallelized using Sam Westrick's triangle-blocking algorithm [0].Also, the site supports importing HEIC photos as taken with an iPhone, which is surprisingly hard to do correctly. Libraries like libheic don't fully support the format used by iPhones, so if used naively the HDRMay 31, 2026 9:45 PM

Show HN: I brought back Airbnb categorieshttps://www.vibebnb.fyi/I miss airbnb categories. It was fun and I loved being able to just browse thorugh cool listings. I'm not exactly sure why they removed it. Then, a couple weeks ago, they hit me with some A/B test and I had access to a "what" freeform textbox to custom filter results. Now apparently they removed that too.At this point, I wasn't happy - so I decided to look into how to bring it back. I noticed they still use some of the categories pages for SEO. For example: https://www.airbnb.com/united-states/stays/ski-in-ski-outThat gave me hope - those filters still existed somewhere. Turns out they were only removed from the UI and the search backend still supports all of them.So after a bit of googling, I figured out how it works. Airbnb's search runs on a GraphQL endpoint you can hit anonymously, and the categories map to params on the search URL that I recovered and verified one by one:- Property types: property_type_id[]= (Chalet=22, Cabin=4, Treehouse=6, Castle=5), still filtering even though May 29, 2026 7:53 PM

Show HN: Monkdev is a toolkit and methodology for coding with LLMshttps://github.com/oeo/monkdevI'm sure many people have some solutions similar to this but I've been using some variation of this since roughly the release of Opus 3 to get higher quality results. Like, significantly higher. So I decided to make it into a more structured package.Problem: bad decisions and short sighted solutions due to the LLM not having enough context before acting. They'd read one file, or a few segments of a set of files using a super conservative offset and limit, guess about the rest, apply a patch, run a unit test and then tell you with its entire chest that the code is production-ready.Those bandaids over time became debt, drift, complexity. Unnecessary LOC in a codebase where I find myself wondering is this thing even making me more efficient or should I be in VIM more often and just save myself the API costs (I use OpenCode + OpenRouter and have been known to blast through hundreds of dollars a day in spend using Frontier models).I found that, for whatever reason, LLMs respond to role-playMay 26, 2026 7:08 PM

Tell HN: The Threat to US Citizen's ID / Voting Is Private Serviceshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48238426THE REAL RISK AROUND VOTER ID NOW COMES FROM PRIVATE ENTERPRISEThis post has been condensed due to character limitations on HN posts.[...]What's happening is that private entities are curating the databases and operating automated adjudication services which the government contracts to utilize. "But it's little things, administrative things." Yeah maybe, but look where they are in the kill chain. During approximately the week surrounding 15-May-2026 I was denied the "privilege" of scheduling an appointment at the United States Post Office by one of these "administrative things" and there is no particular reason to think that the government runs this service themselves, relying entirely on compute and data which they control. So THIS is how the woodpecker destroys civilization; or at least our representative democracy. There is no appeal. There is no overt denial at the time of service either.Here's how it works in real life:The United States federal government operates Login.Gov, a sinMay 22, 2026 4:54 PM

Show HN: ClassKeep – Booking, credits, and smart waitlists for boutique studioshttps://www.classkeep.appHi HN — I built ClassKeep.The trigger: every small studio owner I know (pilates, yoga, pottery, even a dog trainer) runs the operational side of their business on WhatsApp + a Google Sheet, or on one of the expensive incumbents (Mindbody/Glofox) they actively dislike. The single biggest leak is last-minute cancellations: someone bails at 6am and the seat just goes empty, because there's no fast way to notify a waitlist.ClassKeep tries to remove that end-to-end:- Public booking page on a free *.classkeep.app slug (custom domain optional), with a drag-and-drop page builder so it doesn't look like a generic SaaS template. - Credits, drop-ins, and recurring subscription plans, all via Stripe Connect — the studio gets paid directly, I never touch the money. - A waitlist that auto-notifies via email + web push + SMS the instant a seat opens; first tap wins. This is the part most studios told me they'd pay for on its own. - 1-tap tablet check-in for instructors so they're not fumbling with a May 19, 2026 4:38 PM

Show HN: CrowdRank – live leaderboards for internet argumentshttps://crowdrank.appHi HN. I built CrowdRank, a small web app where people vote through head-to-head matchups and the results become a live leaderboard.Backstory:A few years ago, while I was learning to code, I wanted to build a Tinder-style voting app to rank the funniest characters from The Office. I hit a lot of dead ends, mostly on the frontend, and abandoned it.Now with a bit more technical background i rebuilt the idea as a more general platform. The backend/API is Laravel, and I used AI heavily to help build the frontend because somehow centering a div still finds ways to humble me.What did I end up building?A web based platform for ranking candidates inside different topics. There are no community-created topics yet. For now, I seeded a bunch of debates and used an Elo style ranking system, similar to chess ratings, to build a live leaderboard for each debate.No signup is needed to try it.A few example debates:- who’s actually funny in The Office?

I've also never worked with other developers until recently. I came from graphic design/web dev work (Wordpress, CSS, some JS, some PHP), did HTML email development for a bit (awful black magic), scripting/automations to help a content migration for a year, and now I have a full-stack role at a small company.I now work with everything.

Man tar why we use -fhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47995364Device selection and switching -f, --file=ARCHIVE Use archive file or device ARCHIVE. If this option is not given, tar will first examine the environment variable ‘TAPE'. If it is set, its value will be used as the archive name. Otherwise, tar will assume the compiled-in default. The default value can be inspected either using the --show-defaults option, or at the end of the tar --help output. An archive name that has a colon in it specifies a file or device on a remote machine. The part before the colon is taken as the machine name or IP address, and the part after it as the file or device pathname, e.g.: --file=remotehost:/dev/sr0 An optional username can be prefixed to the hostname, placing a @ sign between them. By default, the remote host is accessed via the rsh(1) command. Nowadays it is common to use ssh(1) instead. You can do so by giving the following command line option: --rsh-command=/usr/bin/ssh The remote machine should have the rmt(8) command installed. If its pathname doMay 3, 2026 10:06 AM

Show HN: An Agent First Slack CLIhttps://github.com/tilework-tech/nori-slack-cliHey folks,My team and I have been building a background agents as a service product. One of the things we needed pretty early on was for some way for the agents to be able to drive slack.Right now, I don't think there are many good agent-first ways of doing this. I don't love MCP -- it's just too many tokens in the context window, and agents seem to do better with CLIs because they can embed them in code and so on. But other CLIs that exist are either a) subsets of the web api that only focus on human needs and b) have polished terminal UIs with spinners and colors and interactive things that make it hard for LLMs to actually use them.nori-slack-cli is a very thin dynamic wrapper over @slack/web-api (i.e. bolt). Whatever the SDK can call, the CLI can call. When slack adds a new method it should just work without a new release on our end. (Inspired by the GWS cli: https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli).So you(r agent) can do things like:`nori-slack chat.postMessage --channel C123 --texMay 1, 2026 7:05 PM
