Show HN: Protobuf.com, a visual, interactive guide to Protocol Buffershttps://protobuf.com/Protobuf is a fairly simple format, but the way people are first introduced to it often doesn't speak to them. That is how it was for me at first. I tried to address that in two ways: simple visual diagrams where a picture does the work better than prose, and interaction so you can get a feel for the language and how it behaves without installing anything.Some parts of the guide run a real Protobuf compiler, bufbuild/protocompile, in the browser through WASM. It's the same compiler the buf CLI uses.Feedback welcome.Disclosure: I work at Buf, and Buf owns the domain. The guide started as a side project before I joined.Aug 20, 2026 10:53 AM

Show HN: HN Notifyhttps://hnnotify.orgA few years ago I built a very simple, though overly complicated, hacker news notification service. I always had dreams for a "bigger" application, where I could follow some people and read what they have to post, or specific topics and get notified with they show up, and if you don't want email, you can just have it sent to an RSS feed, or install it as a PWA and get the option for push notifications. Don't want immediate updates, change them to daily/weekly/monthly digest emails instead.The old HN Notify got shut down because it was getting to be too much work to maintain my sloppy code when I had other hobbies to play with. And you can read more about that here: https://jeremyaboyd.com/post/sunsetting-hn-notifyThankfully the rise of agentic coding has allowed these side projects I abandoned to be worked on once more, in the background, while I do the work that actually pays me.Anyway, enjoy this if you want it.

Does anyone find AI code review useful?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49369710I’m genuinely trying to understand the point of AI code review.Once an LLM generated change gets into a few hundreds or thousands of lines, a human reviewer can barely read the whole thing in any meaningful way. And even if they can, why should they spend their time reviewing thousands of lines generated by someone else’s AI?If the code is going to be reviewed by another AI anyway, why doesn’t the developer opening the PR just run one more iteration before submitting it?Is the assumption that after a thorough implementation pass, having a different AI review the code “some time later” will catch things the original AI somehow missed?Or is the assumption that my precious "Code Review AI" has some superior prompt and sacred collection of skills that makes it meaningfully different from the AI the developer used to write the code?If that’s the case, why not just give developers that reviewer AI locally and have them iterate against it before opening the PR?What’s the point?
