Ask HN: Is it a good idea to add a Design your download page?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=479196076 Months ago, I created a website called Openbeam.cloud which lets users to transfer files up to 100 GB of files including entire folders, but all the downloading pages were looking very white, I could easily add ad different theme or a good design, but I thought adding a special feature of design your own downloading page,My idea is to let designers or developers to show their work in more creative way1. Like a 2D artist will be able to give preview as background to client in the downloading page. 2. Game developer can add a background image or a gif and icons of the game they developed,I wanted will give more creative liberty to designers or creative guys.Would anyone use this? What do you guys' thing?https://openbeam.cloud

Show HN: I read Replika's privacy policy and then built a competitorhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/friend-ai-private-chat/id6761649790I'm genuinely surprised at what people are willing to share with AI companions. Read Replika's privacy policy. Then Character.AI's. These apps store your most personal conversations on their servers, linked to your email address. A breach or subpoena and your identity is attached to everything you ever told your "AI friend." Eek.The only thing I think actually solves this is local inference. I remember browing r/LocalLLaMA and years ago and thinking this is the future. Local models are finally good enough. I was playing with the bonsai 8B 1-bit quant model a few weeks back and I think we're almost there. I built friendAI to see if there's market demand for local inference. Everything runs on your phone.What's actually on-device:- Bonsai-8B (1-bit quantized Qwen3-8B, ~1.3GB) via MLX for speed - Gemma 4 E2B (~4.5GB, GGUF) via llama.cpp for vision - A unified client that routes between themA few things I'm reasonably proud of solving in about a week:- Turns out the hardest part was actual

Show HN: I built a toy that plays grandma's stories when my daughter hugs ithttps://www.storyfriend.co.uk/This was a project I built for my daughter's first birthday present.For context, I'm a surgical resident in the UK by background and am currently taking a year out of training to study a masters in computer science. My daughter just turned one. There are two things she really loves: the first is particular soft toy that she just can't live without, and the other is a good story book.Her grandparents live hours away and I didn't want her to forget what they sound like between visits. I wanted her to hear them whenever she missed them.My parents brought my brother and I up with incredible stories and books from all sorts of cultures, many of the stories being passed down from their parents before them. I didn't want my daughter to miss out on that.Finally, I was sick of missing storytime with her when I had to leave for night shifts. I wanted her to hear my voice before she slept every night.For all these reasons, I decided to build Storyfriend. It's her favourite soft toy with a custom

Show HN: I blind-tested 14 LLMs on a WP plugin task. Surprising Findingshttps://github.com/guilamu/llms-wordpress-plugin-benchmark/blob/main/README.mdRecently, GitHub Copilot silently dropped support for Claude Opus on Pro accounts. Since Opus was my go-to model for my daily workflow (developing WordPress plugins), I needed a reliable replacement.I decided to run a rigorous, blind benchmark across 14 state-of-the-art and local LLMs to objectively measure which model understands WordPress development best. To ensure a perfectly fair test, I started with a completely fresh IDE and zero context for every single generation.I asked each model to build a "Gravity Forms Live Search" plugin using a minimal, zero-shot prompt. To avoid personal bias, I had Gemini 3.1 Pro blindly grade the anonymized outputs against a strict 100-point rubric, comparing them to my own reference implementation.Surprising Findings1. The "Blind Spot" (Re-inventing the wheel) Out of 14 models, exactly 0 successfully hooked into the native Gravity Forms search input (#form_list_search). Instead of analyzing the implicit context (the DOM), every single model forceful

Show HN: Reinhardt – Django-style Rust framework; WASM+SSR from one DSLhttps://github.com/kent8192/reinhardt-webReinhardt is a Rust web framework where one component DSL compiles to both WASM (client) and server-rendered HTML — a single file describes both sides of a page, with no separate frontend codebase, no JS build toolchain, and no duplicated types across the client/server boundary.It also bundles what Django/DRF users expect: an ORM with auto-generated migrations from #[model] macros, DI, auth, admin, REST, background tasks, and i18n. Feature flags let you pull in just what you need (minimal / standard / full), or import individual crates directly.I built it after moving from Django/DRF to Rust and repeatedly re-assembling the same Axum + ORM + migrations + auth stack for every project.Quickstart: https://reinhardt-web.dev/quickstart/v0.1.0-rc.18 release: Crates.io (published as reinhardt-web; the shorter name was taken): https://crates.io/crates/reinhardt-webBSD 3-Clause.

Show HN: Notation – an iOS chess coach (Stockfish on device and optional BYOK)https://notationchesscoach.appHi HN. Solo iOS middle aged, slightly burnt out dad from the UK here, wondering if anyone is interested in what I've been building. Lifelong chess fan, not very good but always trying to improve and I started to build Notation: Chess coach a while back. It's been live a month now on the App Store, doing modest numbers, and I've been learning a lot... mainly make my add brain slow down, stop, test everything twice and never when tired. Submissions will always wait another day!Many people play on chess com, or lichess, just as many in apps and OTB. What my app does (differently I hope) is bring that data together.You can import PGNs of your games, connect to chess com and lichess and sync your games over or play in the app. If you have a Chessnut electronic board, you can play IRL on that as well.Every game, every move is then analysed by a series of on device detectors, and classifiers. And I'm not talking about"I run Stockfish 18 and get your move evals" like most tools do.... Theres a

Instead of writing my manuscript, I built a toolhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47849297Hi my name is Jeff, and I am a chronic procrastinator when it comes to my writing…Tell me that doesn’t sound familiar, I’ve literally written two blogs about this instead of actually writing my manuscript, cause literally anything (even scrubbing the toilet) is more compelling than the grind of getting through chapter 6.I actually started writing a tool in early January 2025. At the time, I was trying to find a way to gamify my writing. I wasn’t really looking to launch a serious writing tool at the time, just find a way to hack my brain into doing the work (and find another excuse to not write).The result of that was a simple text box with a word counter (0/500 words) that used a little bit of JavaScript to count the words you dumped in the box, deduct any shorter than 3 letters and then let you know if you hit your writing goal for the day (and you even got some fireworks!)The tool worked, I found myself anticipating pasting my daily writing progress into the box for that dopamine re

Ask HN: Does magic link authentication use HTML canvassing?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47817835Many sites are starting to use magic link auth more often and I am wondering if its a trend to also glean more information from the account holder.I dont like this auth process because it forces me to have to use the email system to authenticate every time which adds to the amount of time it takes to log-in. With Claude.ai, the auth process at least gives you an option to use a code to sign in with after you get the email. The problem is, the email doesn't contain the code. You have to click on a link which opens a web page to gain the code and it appears at that point it wants to do an HTML canvassing operation. I feel like that is a violation of privacy to do this at the point of trying to log into a service I pay for. I'm wondering if I am off base or if anyone notices this, or finds a difference in the process. and if its happening, what can be done about it. Also I wonder what the real reason is why more and more companies are moving toward this authentication method.
