Show HN: Hyperlane – A IDE and ADE merging agent worktrees with native toolinghttps://hyperlaneide.comHi HN, my co-founder and I run Akkento, a small self-funded team building Hyperlane, an independent IDE built on the VS Code source (Code OSS), made for merging worktree-based agent development with actual IDE features.Agent orchestrators give you a worktree based workflow where several agents run in parallel, but they are not IDEs (they are not meant to be), so the moment an agent finishes you have to leave and review the diff somewhere else, actually debug the code and go through a process to sanity check it. In a commercial team, that review step isn't optional which is the problem we came across, where you have 2 editors open at the same time for the same job. IDEs are where you actually read, debug and profile the code, but none of them give you the worktree workflow. We are hoping to fix that by merging the two together in an IDE with tooling for profiling, building and testing.Try it out: https://hyperlaneide.com/Hyperlane runs on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux (x64 an

Show HN: Neal – Codex writes the code, Claude reviews ithttps://github.com/navels/nealneal is a CLI I wrote while trying to use an LLM coding agent (in this case, Codex GPT-5.4) to work autonomously on a migration of our large frontend codebase. A few things came up during that project that guided the development of neal:1. Telling an agent to "keep working unless blocked" doesn't actually work over long stretches of time.2. Large projects should be broken up into smaller chunks of work.3. The coding agent should start each chunk of work with a fresh context to prevent context rot.4. The coding agent benefits from having a different agent doing adversarial reviews along the way.What I ended up with is an orchestrator that- lets you configure planner, coder, and reviewer roles. I started with Codex and Claude using their SDKs but later added OpenRouter as well as a compatibility mode for verifying that a model can handle the orchestration. Currently there are 44 compatible OpenRouter models.- runs a plan that you provide through a planner / reviewer loop which splits the

Show HN: Popkorn – A CSS based alternative for Lottie animationshttps://github.com/ayarse/popkornHi all,I’ve been working on this project for a while now and wanted to share it here for feedback and contributions. You can test drive it in the playground at:https://usepopkorn.devI’ve been calling it Popkorn. The idea is to author vector animations, similar to Rive and Lottie, but in a CSS-like language, with interactivity and other modern necessities baked into the format. I’ve stayed true to CSS for the most part, sprinkling on a little custom syntax for things like interactivity.Staying close to CSS gives it good DX, and it turns out to make it very LLM-friendly too. Nearly my entire examples gallery is AI generated. Even cheap models like GLM or DSv4 Flash can one shot whole animations from scratch, no fine-tuning required. There’s a Copilot feature the Playground that will let you bring your own key, or use the MCP to test drive AI features. Do share what you make please!There’s a web player that renders on Canvas or SVG, and a React Native player using Skia. It supports nested

Show HN: Self-hosted pet diary built on Frigate and a local vision modelhttps://github.com/bolt12/pet-reportI have a cat and a dog, and I worry about them whenever I am away. My cameras ping me with a clip of the cat crossing the kitchen, which tells me almost nothing. I could sit and watch hours of recordings to work out how their day went and whether anything looks off, but that's too time consuming. What I actually wanted to know were concrete things: did they eat, did they drink, did the cat use the litter box, are they sleeping more than usual.So pet-report sits on top of Frigate, which I already run for the cameras. Twice a day it sends the new clips to a vision model (I run Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on an RTX 5090) on my own server and writes up the day, with every line linking back to the footage behind it so you can check it yourself. You can also ask it things like "did the dog drink today?" and it answers from what the cameras actually saw.I've found myself needing an app like this for a long time, and pulling contextual metadata out of an image or a video is exactly what these models are g

Show HN: Christopher Nolan's Hymn to Athenahttps://jackcushman.org/writing/hymn-to-athena/Hi, HN! Did you know that Chris Nolan's casting of Tom Holland and Zendaya eerily echoes a 3000-year-old dance battle between Athena and Telemachus? I've been working on an art project that says so.If you like, it can be fun to go in blind with a strong research agent to sort out what this really is. Or there is a multi-layered CAPTCHA at the bottom that spells it out increasingly clearly.As a small spoiler: my day job is building reliable public data tools for a library. This piece draws on that background to try to make AI-native art -- fiction by and for humans who use AI agents as a source of truth. At best I hope it works as the kind of joke one Iain M. Banks Culture AI would tell another about humans.

Show HN: Collab Word in Web - A collaborative DOCX Editor with MS Word Parityhttps://collab.word-in-web.com/TLDR: Collab WIW is a DOCX editor with MS Word parity that supports real-time collaborative editing. The collab layer is end to end encrypted and uses ephemeral rooms with stable share URLs. Ever collab room lives in only memory. Collaborator saved copies can bring the room back online at the same URL and reconcile offline edits.The MS Word parity DOCX editor: I made a previous HN post about the editor itself. It is a pure JS DOCX editor that renders and edits the original document directly in the DOM instead of converting it into some other format.I benchmarked it pretty heavily against thousands of pages to push for pixel and feature parity, including equations, tables, 3D objects, headers, footnotes, etc... I am not going to get too deep into that because I already posted a ShowHN earlier. The parity report has all of the fixtures I tested and the actual results.Edit: Link to previous HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48995304The server: The collab BE was actually inspired by

A 1989 Unix finger protocol prank at UW-Milwaukeehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49121204In 1989, as a CS undergrad at UW-Milwaukee, I had access to a graduate Unix lab. One afternoon, the grad students discovered they could scan the network for users who had accidentally left their .plan files world-writable. For the uninitiated, the finger command let you see who was logged in, and it displayed their local .plan file. Because default security permissions were incredibly relaxed back then, you could sometimes write directly to someone else's file. The grad students wrote a script to append a snarky message mocking the users' permissions: "I AM FAR MOR THAN AN IGNORANT MORON..." Later that night, the lab cleared out. Left to my own devices, curiosity got the better of me. I ran a similar scan to see if any open files were left. I found one, and the user’s login name immediately caught my eye: "beaver". The temptation was simply too great. I opened their file and wrote the only logical sentence:"If you are reading this, then you are fingering the beaver!" After literally fa

Show HN: What should the GUI for AI agents look like?https://marbleos.com/demoHi HN! We’re Akilan and Miguel, the creators of MarbleOS.The inspiration for Marble comes from the GUI work at Xerox PARC, the 1984 Macintosh, and later NeXTSTEP, which became the foundation for Mac OS X. Before GUIs, interacting with a computer was limited to strange terminal commands:C:\> DIRC:\> COPY FILE.TXT A:You had to remember the command, syntax, paths, and parameters.The GUI made those capabilities visible. Instead of remembering commands, you could point at files, drag them, click buttons, and select actions from menus. It didn't necessarily make entirely new things possible; it just made existing capabilities much easier to understand and use. We feel like AI is still somewhere around this command-line stage.Even though the strict syntax has been replaced with natural language, the interaction can still be quite stiff and depend on heavily recall. Tools like Claude Cowork still look surprisingly terminal-like: /skill-name [param1] [param2]. The parameters are written in natu
