Ask HN: One SSH key or many SSH keys?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49377427Is there any benefit to using multiple, separate keys to authenticate to different resources versus only using a single SSH key?On one hand, I've heard that an SSH key is supposed to represent an identity, so using your "identity" everywhere makes sense.On the other hand, I've heard that keeping SSH keys separate is important in the same way using separate passwords for different resources is important.What do you all think?

outbid.to
Show HN: Outbid.to, a pay-to-win leaderboard for websiteshttps://www.outbid.to/I built outbid.to as a simple experiment in transparent paid discovery.Submit a website, place a whole-dollar bid, and your bid determines your rank. The highest bidder takes #1. If someone outbids you, your listing moves down but stays live.There are no hidden ranking factors or editorial decisions. The minimum bid is $2, payments are handled through Stripe, and each listing shows the traffic it receives.I’m curious whether an openly pay-to-win leaderboard can be more useful and entertaining than traditional ads or sponsored directories.Would appreciate feedback on the ranking mechanics, pricing, and anything that feels unclear.

compute.cx
Show HN: Compute.cx is simple (modal.com like) interface for on-demand GPUshttps://compute.cxHi everyone, Please checkout compute.cx which is a simple cli interface for using on demand GPUs from RunPod and HotAisle. I created this because I really like the ease of modal.com for severless gpu access, but don’t always want to pay their markup. Compute.cx gives the same DX but on public on-demand GPUs like runpod and hotaisie.Please try it out, and write to me harsh@theoric.com for any questions/suggestions, or file a bug report on https://github.com/theoriclabs/docs.compute.cxThanks! Harsh Gupta https://x.com/hargup13P.S. BYOK AWS, GCP and Azure coming soon, let me know if you want it.

epho.io
Show HN: Epho – run Claude Code with a curlhttps://epho.ioHey folks, Burak here.Epho is an API that allows running Claude Code, Codex or Opencode in a sandbox in the cloud. It abstracts away sandboxes, and allows running coding agents with a single HTTP request.Epho came out of our own struggles with building our own AI analyst: - Sandboxes give you bare machines; you need to configure them for agentic workloads. - Each agent behaves differently, and you need to build integrations with each of them. - Sandbox providers are not very reliable, which means you need to figure out a multi-provider strategy to avoid failures. - Logging, artifacts, input/output, event streaming, and all of the other operational aspects need to be figured out.We had to go through the pain ourselves. We got to a point where things got quite reliable, and it became more obvious to us that this should be a primitive on its own: send a POST request, get the events streaming back to you.Epho is an agents-as-an-API product: you send a request, it spins up a sandbox, config

zoneless.com
Show HN: Open-source Stripe Connect alternativehttps://zoneless.comHey, I'm Ben. I built Zoneless because I was paying so much to use Stripe Connect on my own marketplace. The fees were really, really bad, and it was also limiting in terms of the seller countries I could onboard. To give you an idea, I was paying around $9,000 per month in fees just to run payouts. Using Zoneless, that cost goes down to around $6.I've been using it personally for the past few months, and onboarded 5,000+ sellers and done 3,000+ payouts. 74% of new sellers on my marketplace choose Zoneless over Stripe, which is really interesting. I appreciate crypto and stablecoins are a bit of a touchy subject, but for this use case of sending global payouts cheaply, it's perfect.The project is open source with an Apache 2.0 licence, which means there's the benefit of no lock-in and no risk of your account getting flagged or shut down. It also has an almost identical API and dashboard to Stripe.Would love to hear any feedback you may have in the comments.

Show HN: Bisecto – A minimalist game about cutting shapes into 50/50 halveshttps://bisecto.com/Hey HN,I built Bisecto (https://bisecto.com), a minimalist browser game with one simple mechanic, cutting (bisecting) a procedural 2D shape into two exact 50/50 halves with a single straight line.Confession: I got completely hooked watching those viral reels of people trying to cut fruits and vegetables into perfectly equal halves, and that was my inspiration for this game :D I've been writing code for 12+ years, but for this project I leaned heavily on LLMs to quickly spin up this game, I thought it's going to be quick, but it took me some time (around 2 weeks) to make the game the way I want it to be.A few game modes to try: - Classic: Endless run, you get to choose difficulty and line cutting mode- Arcade mode: You get 3 lives, you have to keep accuracy above 95%.- Daily challenge: A shared daily seed, 10 identical shapes for everyone, see how you rank.- Friends challenges: Create a challenge and send it to your friends and see who is better at cutting shapes in half.Under the hood:

Show HN: Omacosy – Omarchy-style tiling desktop for macOS, no SIPhttps://github.com/paulsp94/omacosyI have been using omarchy on my tower since nearly a year now, shortly after it was released first. I really love the experience I am having with it but I still use my macbook for daly work, so I wanted to recreate a similar experience on it. Thats why I created omacosy, a setup for tiling windows, custom menu bar, some themes from omarchy, focus follows mouse, focus rings around windwos, some mac flavors with trackpad events and a custom mission control overview for your workspaces.I used AeroSpace over yabai for the tiling window manager because I didnt wanted to compromise on SIP which is a mac security feature. It is supposed to be keyboard first like omarchy to move windows organize workspaces etc The setup runs around 157mb of ram and consists of AeroSpace, Karabiner (for the super key), and five small self build swift binaries.I am running it daily on my M1 max macbook, currently on macOS26. I havent tested it much on other macbooks or macOS versions. The install script creates

Show HN: Open-source tool turning company knowledge into Duolingo-like courseshttps://www.scibly.com/de/My buddy and I have been working on a side project for the past few months called Scibly.The idea is pretty simple:Companies already have an incredible amount of knowledge sitting in PDFs, documentation, internal wikis, etc. The problem is turning all of that information into something employees can actually learn from and retain.For this reason we decided to build Scibly, a tool that automatically turns boring company knowledge into interactive, Duolingo-like (but better) learning experiences.Today, we decided to open-source the whole thing.We're still pretty inexperienced when it comes to open source, so we'd genuinely love to hear your feedback, whether that's about the product, the idea, the codebase, or how we're approaching the project.Short product demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcpLUNBRhQwGithub: https://github.com/scibly-dev/sciblyWould love to hear what you guys think!

markdownbuddy.inawa.app
Show HN: Markdown Buddy – Native macOS Markdown Editor with Quick Look and Xcodehttps://markdownbuddy.inawa.app/I write a lot of project documentation in Markdown, and two things kept annoying me on macOS: Quick Look shows .md files as raw text, and Xcode shows a README as plain source. So I built the app I wanted. Swift and AppKit, 4.8 MB, sandboxed. The editor is a plain NSTextView. The rendered view is WKWebView, so it uses the system engine rather than a bundled browser, which is where the size difference comes from. Quick Look and Finder thumbnails are separate app extensions sharing the same renderer.Beyond preview: open a folder as a workspace and browse every .md in a tree, search across all of them, and see a graph of the links between documents with broken ones flagged. An Xcode Source Editor extension opens the file you are looking at, rendered, from the Editor menu.One implementation detail I found non-obvious. The live preview restyles the NSTextStorage as you type. The hard rule is that it must never touch attributes while an input method is composing, or Japanese, Chinese and Kore

testmagic.link
Show HN: testmagic.link – Zero-setup magic link testing for coding agentshttps://testmagic.linkI built testmagic.link because Claude Code kept using my personal Gmail when testing magic-link authentication, filling my inbox with test emails.I know there are existing email testing services, but the ones I found require signing up, getting credentials, and integrating an API. That felt like overkill when I just wanted to tell Claude Code: "test the email sign-in using testmagic.link".So I made testmagic.link. No signup, no API keys, no integration. It’s basically a one-liner with a domain that’s easy to remember. I also added an llms.txt file at the root, so agents instantly know how to read the inbox without me explaining it.There’s also an optional mail-scanner simulation: add ?prefetch=1 to the inbox URL, and testmagic.link will GET each message’s magic link once before you open it, without following redirects — similar to how Outlook Safe Links or a corporate mail scanner might prefetch links. This is useful for catching magic-link flows that break when a security scanner visi

Show HN: Sitmap – a World in Conflict inspired map maker for Cold War scenarioshttps://tomaytotomato.github.io/sitmap/I loved the game World in Conflict (2007)One of those aspects I enjoyed was the maps shown during the loading screens. The colour choices and aesthetics were really striking and made the game even more immersive.Using Claude Fable and some photoshop skills, with a few tweaks here and there. I managed to get something quite useable and probably useless to most people shipped.If you enjoy maps, military, strategy etc, hopefully it is of interest to you.

Algorithm Interview: a conversation between two parrotshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49373709Algorithm Interview: a conversation between two parrotsAll children know that parrots can talk. All adults understand that parrots simply repeat sounds.You'll laugh, but these same adults actually believe that an Algorithm Interview is a conversation between a very smart algorithm expert who is trying to find out whether the candidate understands algorithms at an acceptable level…So, how many ycombinator.com readers have successfully passed the algorithms interview? Probably tens of thousands.Well, how many of them were able to understand that breaking down sorting into independent stages is a Fundamental Discovery? Zero!Zero questions and comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49314420P.S. Have you ever thought that NOT everyone has a mental model? But most people just memorize ready-made answers instead of understanding the problem?I recommend reading The Programmers' Stone https://www.datapacrat.com/Opinion/Reciprocality/r0/index.html ---------------8

Show HN: I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-devicehttps://simedw.com/2026/08/20/midi-autocomplete/I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15).The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device.The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

protobuf.com
Show HN: Protobuf.com, a visual, interactive guide to Protocol Buffershttps://protobuf.com/Protobuf is a fairly simple format, but the way people are first introduced to it often doesn't speak to them. That is how it was for me at first. I tried to address that in two ways: simple visual diagrams where a picture does the work better than prose, and interaction so you can get a feel for the language and how it behaves without installing anything.Some parts of the guide run a real Protobuf compiler, bufbuild/protocompile, in the browser through WASM. It's the same compiler the buf CLI uses.Feedback welcome.Disclosure: I work at Buf, and Buf owns the domain. The guide started as a side project before I joined.
