Show HN: A LaTeX resume builder that compiles offline in the browserhttps://ihatelatex.com/Whenever my juniors used to ask me how to build an ATS-friendly resume, I used to advise them to create a LaTeX resume. I'd share a .tex file with my template.They opened it, copied and pasted it into Overleaf, compiled it, and whoa - it generated my resume.Then they went through the complex LaTeX code, figuring out what to change and where, ran into hundreds of errors, and even AI-generated code gave them bugs.Resume contains personal information, which students hesitate to share with everyone.To solve exactly this problem, I created a small tool: "IhateLaTex" IhateLaTex.comIt's the first free, offline LaTeX resume builder, without going through complex code. It works offline, right in your browser, without saving your sensitive information in any server.Aug 19, 2026 3:10 PM

Show HN: BRep Geometric CAD Kernel and Parametric Code CADhttps://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/I'm pretty excited to show off something I've been working on for the past few months. A free, open-source geometric kernel that allows humans/LLMs to write code (in this case, a DSL called Firmament) and generate 3D models of CAD parts, to finally provide an alternative to OpenCascade.To get some questions out of the way. - Full STEP import/export support for AP242, AP203 and AP214 are still experimental at the time, but everything produced by Aetheris should open in any CAD app with STEP support. - Support for single edge/planar fillets/chamfers right now, should be more than sufficient for most CNC/3D printing use cases. - Fillets: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Chamfers: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Supports dimensional/GD&T annotation via STEP 242's semantic PMI. - Kernel is written entirely in C#, with bindings for Go, Rust, Python, and TypeScript available.If you just want to vibe-CAD, clone the repo, run itAug 19, 2026 3:09 PM

Show HN: Minna – On-device semantic search across your own documents (macOS)https://github.com/impel-intelligence/MinnaHi HN! Minna is a new tool geared towards people who have a knowledge base so big they forget where things are.- Chat answers are constrained to retrieved results. The model has to search your knowledge base first and cite the document it pulled from. It won't answer from outside your knowledge base which means you can trust the LLM instead of having to be weary about what it outputs. - Hybrid retrieval — BM25 over an inverted index for exact and keyword matches, plus a vector index for semantic matches, results are fused using Reciprocal Ranked Fusion. - Embeddings and inference both run on-device. Search uses bge-small-en and run on the neural engine. Chat uses Qwen3 4B running on MLX. - Search latency is ~12 ms across 250 documents split into 30,000 chunks on Apple Silicon.What’s not done; OCR scanning on PDFs is limited, the app is currently Apple Silicon only, and there are some rough edges in the UI.It’s a TestFlight beta (apologies, but it is the cleanest distribution path rightAug 19, 2026 3:09 PM

Enshitification Comes for Cursorhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49362593Sometimes I feel like the last person on HN that's still using Cursor for development work. But if anyone is curious - its getting a lot shittier, quickly.The entire application seems to exist to steer you towards using Grok and whatever new product Cursor's team has pumped out this week. You're constantly prompted to switch to using a Cloud agent, including the UI seemingly changing as you're working which caused me to accidentally select a cloud agent instead of my local system a few times. There are daily pop-ups in the app to check out this and that new thing, these are at least pretty easy to close and ignore. This morning Cursor decided to select a new Grok model by default without prompting, which I didn't notice until it had spent 10 minutes burning tokens on a simple bug investigation that Opus resolved in 30 seconds.I finally bit the bullet and setup Pi with Open Router the other day. I still prefer the UI of Cursor but this is like death by a thousand cuts.Aug 19, 2026 3:04 PM

Show HN: A design skill that turn your feelings into UI and remembers ithttps://github.com/MonkeyUI-dev/vibe-to-uiShare a skill that I built for myself and friends. I don't have any design background as a PM and engineer. When I vibe coding, I said: "I want to make it feel like Stripe". My friend said: "More elegant, more Apple." LLM doesn't undserstand them well, for we don't know how to speak design words. I also found that I don't want to repeat or write lines of prompts to LLM. So here it is. tbh, I'm not sure if it is solving someone's urgent situation. UI usually would be P3/P4 compared to features, bugs, etc. Wish it could help someone. If so, pls leave comments, and I would be really happy and reward myself a bubble tea:)Aug 19, 2026 3:01 PM
