Show HN: Hearth – a shared family workspace where an agent can build appshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49292004Hi HN — I built Hearth for my family: https://ourhearth.aiHearth is a shared workspace for a household. We use it for plans, notes, schedules, people, and recurring family rituals, with an AI agent that can work across that context. Kind of like a shared Obsidian with an agent.The cool part is that the agent can also build apps on top of the family's notes and run them inside the same workspace. We have a calendar and a travel app, for instance, and all the apps I use to manage my company's operations are in another Hearth.Hearth is built on Playground, a library we're developing for building collaborative AI coding harnesses. The common primitives are synchronized files, agents, people, app code sandboxing, and a policy layer. Hearth is the family-scale example; we're building Bear for construction projects using the same library.Hearth is beta software! We designed it with isolation and least-privilege in mind, but I recommend that you don't put anything too sensitive in there until Aug 13, 2026 9:18 PM

Show HN: Binaural beats CLI with server/IPC mode and custom presetshttps://github.com/axyz/binauralMostly an excuse to play around with: - CLI distribution and github actions workflow - kdl as a config language - beats :)I decided to share it as it may be useful to somebody else. I included a "daemon" mode, so that external environments can attach keybindings to control it (e.g. your wayland compositor)Also looking for feedback on the github actions workflow, and general adherence to modern best practices for a rust based CLII tested on linux, it should work on mac os, I highly doubt it would work on windows, but PRs are welcome :)Aug 13, 2026 3:34 PM

Design with a Soul: How to make your Vibe-coded site not look like AI Slophttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49287430I have some tips on how to make your site / app feel real and human even if it's vibe coded.- I'm not a graphics designer but I've worked with many and deeply interested in it for 15 years. - I led a UX team in a 50K+ organisation - I've launched 6+ businesses and did countless websites.So here's how I do it -- I'm not saying THIS IS THE WAY to do it. This is HOW I DO IT.1) Whiteboard. Sit your ass down, put some music on you find inspirational and imagine what you want your users to feel. What type of an "ambiance" this site should have? Energetic, calming, playful, serious? Pick 1 or 2 as your primary emotional anchors.2) Principles. You need to have these engrained in your bones. Less is more. If you try to do everything you do nothing. Design is an exercise in ruthless elimination. Read on design to build your internal mental heuristics library.3) Mental Image. Once you have a feel and direction decided (can change, but clarity is important) (For example, while I was building my cuAug 13, 2026 3:25 PM

Show HN: Lark, OSS realtime database, drop-in compatible with Firebase SDKshttps://github.com/lark-sh/larkHey everyone,In early 2026, I started working on Lark, with the goal of creating a realtime database with the same fundamental premise of Firebase RTDB: syncing a JSON tree with persistence to thousands of concurrent users. Today, Lark is releasing as open-source software under an AGPLv3 license.I've been building on Firebase RTDB since the earliest days, and I still think it's one of the most magical ways to build realtime apps for the web and mobile. However, I've always been bothered by the fact that it's building on top of a closed ecosystem. Lark brings the magic of Firebase RTDB to you with the freedom to run it on your own infrastructure.Lark is unique in that it is fully drop-in compatible with the existing Firebase client SDKs. That means you can change a few config vars in your project, move your data to Lark, and you're good to go. In addition, you can continue using other parts of Firebase, like Auth[1], Analytics, and Hosting. This makes it very easy to migrate an existingAug 13, 2026 3:22 PM
