Show HN: Dotproject – The project state standard for AI agents and humanshttps://github.com/jasonnam/dotprojectWe are already getting too slow to micromanage agents on individual features.Trying to review and steer every tiny task is quickly becoming the main bottleneck. Managing at the milestone and goal level still feels like something humans can realistically keep up with—at least for now...I built the dotproject skill around this idea. Curious how others here are structuring agent workflows as execution speeds keep outpacing human oversight.Theoretically, once goals and milestones are defined and enough AI agents are attached, we should be able to track and drive progress toward them in real time.

Show HN: Anonymous age verification with passkey-powered encryptionhttps://loginwithone.com/This project has been kicking around in my head since I first heard about the webauthn PRF extension in early 2024. I've slowly chipped away at it since, and finally got things to a shareable state over the summer thanks to a very fun parental leave. Headed back to work tomorrow, so I figure there's no time like the present.tldr: A client-held encryption key derived during passkey authentication encrypts all sensitive user data prior to persistence so that only the user is able to decrypt and reuse that data on their device. This allows short-lived, privacy-preserving age proofs to be issued to requesting applications (18+, no PII shared) without requiring users to re-upload their documents. The SSO user experience is built on top of the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow.https://loginwithone.com - demo video + high-level architecture + FAQI also made the parody demo apps from the video public if anyone wants to play around with the user experience:https://demo.brainrot.loginwithone.com
