We Replaced Every Tool Claude Code Ships Withhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47468649Claude Code ships with Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Task, Plan. For a single agent on a single task, they're fine. Once you're running a multi-agent system, the defaults break fast.The problems we hit:1) No cross-repo exploration. Want an agent to read another project's code? You need to manually configure permissions. There's no "go explore this OSS repo and answer my question."2) Summarized web fetching. WebFetch is actually a subagent that summarizes a single page into a haiku-length response. Can't trace links or browse related pages. Fetches fresh every time — no caching.3) Text-level editing. Edit has fuzzy matching, which helps — but it's still raw text. When tree-sitter can give you an AST with named symbols, why make the model reproduce strings to target a function?4) Ephemeral tasks and plans. Tasks don't persist outside the session. Plans vanish when context resets. Neither supports multi-round review or structured editing.5) Flat delegation. The Agent toolMar 21, 2026 4:44 PM

Building a high-end, documentation-first API for DualHeart Financial Associationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47394206We just wrapped up the public API layer for DualHeart Financial Association. Instead of treating the API as an afterthought, we used a documentation-first approach to ensure the integration experience matches our minimalist design philosophy.Key technical focus for DualHeart Financial Association:Strict Typing: Leveraged a custom schema validator to ensure 100% data integrity across all DualHeart Financial Association endpoints.Performance: Implemented a granular rate-limiting engine that prioritizes low-latency responses for mission-critical data fetches.Developer Experience: Built a high-end, interactive playground that generates code snippets in real-time, reducing onboarding time for new partners.What’s your current go-to strategy for maintaining clear, high-performance APIs as your data models evolve?Mar 16, 2026 1:51 AM

Ask HN: Can a word game work as a competitive strategy esport?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47347625I've been experimenting with a browser game design problem.Most word games (Scrabble, Wordle, etc.) are either slow or mostly about vocabulary. I wanted to see if it was possible to build one that behaves more like a competitive strategy game — something closer to chess in terms of tension and reversals.The result is a prototype called The Word Gambit. The board grows organically from placed words, and late-game detonations from long words can swing the match dramatically.The surprising thing during testing is that matches often feel more like territory control than spelling.Players also started creating AI opponents ("gladiators") and pitting them against each other, which I didn't originally plan.I'm curious about a few design questions:• Can vocabulary realistically function as a competitive skill in an esport context? • What mechanics would make a word-based game strategically deep rather than dictionary-driven? • Would spectators even enjoy watching something like this?If anyone iMar 12, 2026 7:37 AM

Show HN: I turned my PDFs into audiobooks I can have conversations withhttps://asktotle.comHey HN,TLDR: Upload any document, get an audiobook with synced highlighting you can pause and talk to.I'm a self-taught dev (admittedly mediocre), currently between jobs and my brain is absolutely fried from social media. I can't read anymore. My eyes glaze over after two paragraphs.So I went down a rabbit hole looking for scientifically proven ways to actually focus while reading:- Encoding info visually AND aurally reduces mind wandering by up to 40% - Retrieval practice (asking questions) beats passive re-reading every time - Background music matched to content keeps you in flowCouldn't find anything that did all this. So I built it myself:- Synced text highlighting while you listen - Talk with your book; pause and ask "wait what does that mean?" and it knows exactly where you are (won't spoil what's ahead) - Adaptive background music that matches the mood of each pageI've removed all slop. No flashy features, no gamification etc. etc. Just reading on steroids for fried brains, likeFeb 2, 2026 11:49 AM

Show HN: I built a weather alert system for photographershttps://app.photoweather.app/demo/live-demoI kept missing the good stuff (fog, aurora, beautiful sunsets) because I wasn't checking forecasts at the right time, so I built PhotoWeather...You define rules like: `aurora_quality > 60 AND cloud_cover < 20% AND moon_below_horizon` `fog_prob > 70% AND within 30min of sunrise AND wind < 5 mph`When a rule matches, you get an email and/or an iCal event. The iCal feed is the part I am maybe most proud of: subscribe once and upcoming "shoot windows" show up in your calendar.One example that made me sure this wasn't just a toy: last October it alerted "clear skies + no moon + strong aurora" and I drove to a nearby high spot in Helsinki. Ended up catching aurora and Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) in one frame: https://reddit.com/r/Finland/comments/1obc5nz/Not my best photo ever, but probably the most unique and memorable, and I'll continue to remember my real-life "photoweather actually works" moment through it.A few things that differentiates this from your average weather app:Spatial sampling AJan 1, 2026 12:54 PM

Show HN: Vizzly – Visual testing platform with built-in review workflowshttps://vizzly.devHey HN! I’m Robert. I worked on [Percy’s SDKs/support from 2018–2022.](https://github.com/percy/cli/graphs/contributors) If you ever reached out to support or opened an issue, I probably helped you. Hopefully it was positive :) After a few years away, visual testing still felt stuck, so I'm building Vizzly.The problem: Design handoffs kinda suck. Designers make beautiful specs, devs implement them, then everyone realizes the details got lost somewhere. Current visual testing tools catch broken CSS but miss the real issue - making sure what ships actually matches what was designed, functionally (like really in the browser/OS/etc).What it is- Visual testing + review where you send actual screenshots (not DOM re-renders). Can be _any_ image to review (PDFS!)- Collaboration built-in: reviewer assignment, approvals, @mentions, screenshot-level threads.- Baselines: automatic (Git-aware), manual (not Git-based), or hybrid.- Team-based pricing; generous free plan for OSS; on-prem available.WhaSep 7, 2025 3:44 PM

Show HN: Cutmuse – AI tool for haircut recommendations by face shapehttps://www.cutmuse.com/Hi HN,A few months ago, I started building Cutmuse after hearing the same thing over and over from friends and family:“I never know what haircut suits me.”The idea was to create a tool that uses AI and facial analysis to recommend personalized haircuts, hair colors, and even glasses based on each user’s unique features.You upload a photo (no login required or payment for the free version), and within minutes get a custom style report that includes:Haircuts that fit your face shapeHair color suggestions based on your skin toneEyewear styles that match your proportionsAnd optional grooming/skincare tipsThis isn't like Instagram filters or beauty apps that overlay random looks. What makes Cutmuse different is the depth of the analysis. It applies real visagism principles — a method used in professional image consulting — combined with facial landmark detection and color analysis to give you results that are not just aesthetic, but structured.We're currently live with users in 10+ countrieJun 22, 2025 4:56 AM
