Show HN: Hackerznews – Yet Another HN Clienthttps://hackerznews.vercel.appAround a little more than a year ago, thanks to the advancements in agentic coding, I created my personal ideal HN reading app. There are oh so many of those, but this one is mine. I couldn’t write syntax in any programming language if my life depended on it, so I was glad to have different models help me in that regard. I’m transparent about it, because a lot of HN users might view this negatively and I don’t want to mislead anyone.The updated feature set includes:* Updated UI for everything, including the story view with a favicon and simplified actions. * Dark mode switching based on device settings as a default, but optional setting * Responsive design for hopefully easier reading on mobile * On Desktop split view: the comment section opening up with the story list as a sidebar for easier story switching. * Updated thread design * Added Save functionalityAs I’m only an avid reader, not really contributor, I don’t really care about any account management or reply features.

Show HN: Aristra, your life OShttps://aristralabs.comMost AI cares only about the outcome users want. Aristra cares about your process. It works alongside and for you across the things you already use, learning about you and from you, day and night. What works becomes a playbook it reaches for next time. What stops being true quietly fades. How you actually get things done is the most valuable thing about you, and it's the one thing no AI understands. One AI. One memory. Your life OS.

Show HN: Zero () friction local AI for Machttps://www.basecompute.co/localSuper excited to launch our new app Local today. What we’ve learned at Base Compute over the last months is that running AI directly on your laptop or workstation gives you maximum privacy and it’s free, but it’s also a massive headache to configure. So we’ve decided what matters is making the experience completely frictionless for users.Local analyses the hardware of your laptop, optimises the AI for it, and recommends the best models for your specific device.It let’s you do what you’re doing with cloud AI already, just for free and on your own machine: Chatting with PDF’s, Recording and summarising meetings, running coding agents...If you’re using Local in your office with colleagues, you can run it in “Office Mode”. The strongest computer in your office runs the AI and everyone can connect to it with their laptop. The data never leaves the office.It’s available for download on our website today, please try it out and let us know what you think!

Show HN: Praxos – team messaging with built-in memoryhttps://www.praxos.ai/Hey HN! What does a regular workflow at a startup look like?Probably like this:> One founder talks to customers> Another founder builds> A customer asks for something. The first founder explains it to the second. The second founder explains it to Claude> Two weeks any one of the founders asks one of the following questions: \* Why are we building it this way? \* What happened here? \* What did we promise ACME we’d do? \* How far along are we on X? > Then you scream on the inside because you have to figure out what happened...Before agents, the person who did one part of the work usually held a mental map. They could share the context with other people. Increasingly, they can’t.Small teams can run far more work in parallel than ever before thanks to AI, but someone now has to connect all that context manually. The reasoning behind one product change might now be scattered across a customer call, two emails, a Slack thread, and four Claude conversations.Praxos is a team messaging app.It

Show HN: PingChange – monitor web pages and OpenAPI specs for meaningful changeshttps://pingchange.comI built PingChange after watching the same thing happen over and over: a competitor prices change, a company policy is updated or important web content changes but there is often no reliable way to track it and know when it happens.The tool monitors web pages and API on a schedule and alerts your team when something meaningful changes. The keyword here is meaningful. Most monitoring tools trigger alerts for everything (ads, timestamps, cookie banners etc) and could be noisy or spam in your inbox. With PingChange, you can give it an instruction e.g "alert me when pricing changes" and it analyzes the page content and only notifies you when the changes matches what you're looking for on the page.Here are the main features:- Visual region selection / HTML element selector for tracking specific location on the page. - Changed diff viewer and screenshot of the pages. - Geolocation support - Monitor URL's from specific location to detect content from different geographies. - Anti-bot resoluti

Show HN: Astronomy Buddy–what's worth pointing a telescope at tonighthttps://astronomy-buddy.com/I wanted a simple dashboard for my TRMNL display in my entryway that told me whether it was worth taking my telescope out that night, which I ended up extending into a web + iOS app if anyone else finds it useful.All the apps talk to my own endpoint that consumes AstronomyAPI (current celestial body positions in our solar system), 7Timer! (cloud cover, seeing, transparency), and Open-Meteo (air quality), compares to your current location/elevation/equipment, and determines both a verdict on whether it's worth stargazing tonight and what to look at if you do go out. All the logic/strings to display are contained in my API so I can adjust if needed without re-deploying the separate front ends.Hope someone else finds it handy!

InstantDB Is Shutting Downhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49378706Nothing on their website - but I got an email.Hey there, you’re one of our active users and we wanted to let you know we’re sunsetting Instant.In more detail:New signups will be closed soon. We recommend migrating your apps off of Instant Cloud within the next 12 months. Any subscriptions that were started after July 31st, 2026 will be fully refunded. On August 31st, 2027, all cloud apps will shut down. Backups will stay available for 12 more months, until August 31st, 2028. We’ve written a guide to help you self-host Instant and migrate your apps too. All of Instant is open source, and we’ve worked to make the migration process as seamless as possible. The idea behind Instant started in 2021. We shared a blog post about a database in the browser. It was only an idea, but the more apps we built, the more we saw the need for it. We joined YC in 2022, built a prototype, and shared a version zero.Turning a prototype into something production-grade was a long journey. The work was hard, bu

Show HN: Kandelo – a POSIX-compatible multi-process WASM kernel for the browserhttps://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo/Kandelo is an open-source, Wasm-based multi-process kernel that runs POSIX programs in browsers and Node.js.Kandelo is still experimental, but it already runs a substantial range of existing software.Do you have use cases for this?We are trying Kandelo as a new foundation for WordPress Playground which runs server-side WordPress entirely in the browser. Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing with porting games and desktop environments and even compiling runnable programs within Kandelo.Yet it feels like there are many possibilities we haven't considered.How would you like to use something like this?Demos:Some notes: The demos have been tested in desktop browsers. Unfortunately, YMMV on mobile today. Some of the disk images are large (~50MB) and may take a while to boot initially.Main set, with Shell (bash, vim, nethack, and more), Nginx, PHP, WordPress, and Doom: https://kandelo.dev/202608

Show HN: Skilldocs – Figma for Markdownhttps://skilldocs.dev/tourI got fed up with Notion, so I built my dream document editor. It's all markdowned so it's easy to view skills or other agent-related documents. It's got the collaboration features I love from Figma (shared cursory and the ability to follow) and Google Docs (comments, realtime editing). Then you can export the diff and comments to an agent. I've been really liking it for talking over skill documents live on a call. I'm curious if this resonates with other people. More generally, I feel like notion is less and less relevant in an age where documents have a very different purpose and Markdown is king. Curious what people think!
