Show HN: Visual way to understand things in parallelhttps://wondering.app/canvasHey HN!Really excited to be showing what I think is a better way to understand complex topics with AI.You start a chat with your question, and whenever you want to clarify something or understand some jargon, you can branch out a new chat from that thread.The cool unlock is being able to see all related chat threads in the same context without tab switching, for e.g. I can first dive into understanding world models, then spin a new chat thread on who the key players are in there, and another asking what's the frontier with this stuff.The responses are also not just a wall of text. They're: - Filled with interactive diagrams and visuals - Super fastAnd for those curious, this is how we built it: - React Flow (@xyflow/react) for the canvas - React Components for interactive diagrams - GPT Image 2 for image generations - Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite for super fast response - Parallelization whenever possible to keep things fastYou can also highlight and add notes :)Try it out and let me know wha

Show HN: Steganeur – Hide secret messages in LLM-generated text (Rust)https://github.com/marcsnid/steganeurHi HN! I made a project that I found really fun and I'm proud of the idea and implementation. This first came up when speaking to a friend, we were talking around how to do steganography in natural text, and realized an LLM's token choices are a natural channel.Steganeur accomplishes this by encoding a secret message into the token choices of a language model, producing cover text that reads like a normal sentence. A recipient recovers the message using only the cover text and the model. With the rejection method, the output is statistically identical to normal generation, not just something that looks similar.The interesting problem I hit: steganeur reads the model's logprobs directly, and three of the four methods need them to come out exactly the same on encode and decode. On GPU reductions are non-deterministic, so the logprobs drift between runs, which is enough to corrupt the bits. Only one method (block) survives on GPU, because it bins tokens by their id rather than by probabil

Show HN: eInk Optimized Manga with Kindle Comic Converter (+Kobo/KOreader)https://github.com/ciromattia/kccKindle Comic Converter optimizes black & white (or color) comics and manga for E-ink ereaders like Kindle, Kobo, ReMarkable, and more. Pages display in fullscreen without margins, with proper fixed layout support. KCC runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.KCC's main goal is maximum image quality at significantly smaller file size. For example, KCC1) can compress a 600 MB manga volume from Humble Bundle to 100 MB. This is mostly accomplished by downscaling to the native resolution of your specific device. This can also improve battery life, page turn speed, and general performance on underpowered ereaders with small memory and storage capacities.2) fixes black levels to avoid gray/faded blacks found in many Kindle Store manga3) fixes the rainbow effect on Kaleido 3 color eink without blur using the Discrete Fourier Transform (community PR)It can also semi-automatically join pre-split 2 page spreads and has several KOreader optimizations as well.

Show HN: Caspian – Talk to Human Tool for AI Agentshttps://github.com/TryCaspian/caspian-sdkSup HN! Dipanshu and Rushant here from Caspian. One is a functional programmer and the other has been deploying AI employees. Together we realized how agents have communication bottleneck.Given the coming agentic economy, we had a thought experiment on what can be the key infrastructure for agents as they get better. Our inspiration for solving for communications infra came from our own time spent just setting up comms while we were deploying open claw for companies plus we noticed about 15%+ of issues in Openclaw and Hermes were that of comms.So we abstracted the headache of reliable communication web-hooks, handling of queues, provision and identity management behind an single SDK integration / tool call. Think of it like rather than rolling your own auth, you can use better auth sdk, same thesis here.Technically, we designed the SDK from the ground up as a DSL for communications (heavy inspiration from functional programming) and then add on our own run time environment which auto p

Show HN: Telex Page – Turn secrets into AES 256 encrypted PDFs, locallyhttps://telexpage.com/Hey! Every time I had to send something confidential, like a password, secret, .env, etc, I ended up using some openssl enchantment. It worked, but it was annoying for the team and impossible for my family.PDF docs already support strong AES 256 encryption and open pretty much everywhere. The annoying part was creating a doc and then jumping into a cli just to encrypt it.So I made telexpage.com. It runs 100% local in your browser and makes creating an encrypted PDF from a message as simple as possible. It works offline too.It's been really useful for me, hopefully it's useful for you too.Remember to send the password trough a different channel!

Millions in Cuba face water shortages as oil crisis deepenshttps://www.france24.com/en/video/20260821-millions-in-cuba-face-water-shortages-as-oil-crisis-deepensIn Cuba, seven months of an effective oil blockade imposed by the Trump administration has not only increased power outages but is also leaving more and more people without running water. In August 2025, 2.6 million people on the Caribbean island nation had difficulty accessing water, according to the Cuban Institute of Hydraulic Resources. Today, that figure has risen to 3.5 million – around a third of the population. FRANCE 24’s Ed Augustin reports on the health risks rippling through the island.

Show HN: A desktop fly drawn to the scent of vibecodehttps://github.com/kulikov0/desktop-vibe-flyIt is a fork of https://github.com/DenisSergeevitch/desktop-fly, but with an important update.Now the fly can pick up the scent of the codebase with its neurons and fly straight to the source code of your B2B AI SaaS startup. It has learned to scan its surroundings for agent markers: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, .kiro/steering, and forty others. Anything on the screen that points to these markers becomes a source of the scent - an editor window with an open project, a line in Finder, or a desktop icon. An open project reeks the strongest, while a closed icon or nested folders give off a fainter odor.

Coding Agents killed my identity. How do you feel?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49389408I always was a nerdy, deeply technical programmer. Contributing-to-open-source-and-reading-papers-in-my-spare-time type of programmer.Programming is like a game of chess for me: winning (i.e. delivering a product) is important, but only if I played this game myself. I don't enjoy winning if my opponent disconnected. I don't enjoy beating people who don't know how to move pieces. I don't enjoy winning with an engine, and coding agents are basically "winning with a chess engine".I started to use AI for coding a long time ago, when copilot was first introduced. At first, I was happy: "wow, this can write boring boilerplate and unit tests". Time went by, agents got better, time spent writing code myself went down. Half a year ago I suddenly realized I hadn't written any code for over a month, and I am a full-time software dev without any managing work. Not only did I stop writing code, but agents also became pretty good at proposing plans and architectures, and I was mostly providing missi
