Show HN: Mother May I? – Auto-approve safe Bash commands in Claude Codehttps://github.com/dgerlanc/mmiHi HN,I built MMI (Mother May I?) with Claude Code to solve an annoying friction point: manually approving every single Bash command.The ProblemClaude Code asks for permission before running any shell command. This is sensible from a security standpoint, but it means you're constantly hitting "approve" for commands like git status, pytest, or ls -la. It breaks flow and adds friction to every development session.The SolutionMMI is a CLI hook that auto-approves known-safe commands while maintaining a fail-secure default. Unrecognized commands still require manual approval.How it works:1. Deny list checked first – Dangerous patterns (sudo, rm -rf /, chmod 777) are always rejected2. Safe commands allowlisted – Read-only commands, test runners, linters, and build tools you configure3. Proper shell parsing – Uses an AST-based parser (mvdan.cc/sh) to correctly handle pipes, chains, and quoted strings4. Audit trail – Every decision logged to JSON-lines for debugging and complianceKey design deJan 22, 2026 2:11 PM

Show HN: QuietPage – Privacy focused journaling with E2E encryptionhttps://www.quietpage.app/Hey HN,I built QuietPage because I loved 750words.com but it felt dated and had zero privacy guarantees. And honestly, I wanted to build something.It's a journaling app with: - Daily writing with auto-save (like 750words) - End-to-end encryption (Fernet: AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA256) - Streak tracking to build the habit - Mood tracking and basic analytics - Tag systemEach user gets a unique encryption key, entries are encrypted before they hit the database. Even I can't read them.Tech stack is Django REST + React + PostgreSQL + Redis. Running on Railway but you can also self-host it with Docker.It's free to use right now. To be honest, I'm not sure about monetization yet, just want to see if people actually find it useful first :)Would love your feedback!Jan 22, 2026 1:22 PM

Show HN: Local-First AI Video Upscaler with CPU Fallbackhttps://github.com/pratik227/upscale_video_4kI built a Python-based video upscaler that prioritizes privacy and local execution.Most AI video tools today are cloud-based, which isn't ideal for private media or long-form archival projects. This tool brings a professional upscaling pipeline directly to your machine.Why I built this: I wanted a simple "one-command" way to take old SD footage (like home movies or archival clips) and upscale them to 1080p and 4K without complex configurations or data leavings my hardware.Key Features: - Hybrid Support: Auto-detects NVIDIA CUDA or Apple Silicon (MPS). - Smart Fallback: If no GPU is found, it automatically switches to OpenCV FSRCNN so it still works (though slower) on any CPU. - The Pipeline: It doesn't just "stretch" video. It uses Real-ESRGAN for AI enhancement up to 1080p, then applies high-quality Lanczos interpolation for 4K delivery. - Format Handling: Handles 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio correction with smart padding and preserves/remuxes the original audio track.GitHub: https://githJan 22, 2026 11:41 AM

Show HN: Perspectives – I wanted AI to challenge my thinking, not validate ithttps://getperspectives.appI built Perspectives because I got tired of ChatGPT agreeing with everything I said.Ask any LLM to "consider multiple perspectives" and you get hedged consensus. The model acknowledges trade-offs exist, then settles on a moderate position that offends nobody. Useful for summaries. Useless for decision making.Perspectives forces disagreement. 8 personas with fundamentally incompatible frameworks debate your question through a structured protocol, then vote using Single Transferable Vote to surface where they actually land. The output is a PDF report synthesising all of it.How it worksBlind Proposals: Each persona generates a position without seeing the others. This prevents the "anchoring problem" where early responses shape later ones, bypassing the default sycophancy of LLMs.Interrogation of Blind Proposals: Proposals face structured challenges from 3 opposing personas. A "high-empathy" persona (e.g., The Idealist) will be challenged by a "low-empathy" cluster (e.g., The Pragmatist). Jan 22, 2026 10:02 AM

Show HN: Spine – Verifiable audit logs with BLAKE3 and Ed25519https://github.com/EulBite/spine-ossI've been working on a question that kept coming up in audits: How do you actually prove that logs haven’t been modified after the fact?Most logging stacks (Splunk, Datadog, ELK) are great for analytics, but when auditors ask “how do you prove integrity?”, the answer is usually vague or procedural.Spine answers this using cryptographic audit logs that can be verified offline, without trusting the logging system itself.The SDK and CLI are now open source. GitHub: https://github.com/EulBite/spine-ossThe problem Recent EU regulations (DORA, NIS2) explicitly require tamper-evident audit trails, but the problem exists independently of regulation:- Auditors increasingly ask how logs can be proven immutable- Most companies I talked to had no concrete technical answerQuick example:from spine_client import WAL, WALConfig, SigningKeykey = SigningKey.generate() wal = WAL(key, WALConfig(data_dir="./audit_log"))await wal.initialize() await wal.append({"event_type": "user.login", "user_id": "alice"}Jan 22, 2026 7:27 AM

Ask HN: Why does Google Maps still use mercator projection?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46715868Mercator projection exaggerates land size near the poles. Example: Greenland. I understand why this was necessary for flat paper maps and paper navigation but on the internet, web maps should be able to dynamically adjust based on viewing tangent. The true relative size would be as if you’re looking at a globe map and your sightline is tangent to the curve of the globe.Jan 22, 2026 6:10 AM

Why AGI Would Shape Humanity in the Shadows the Revelation Traphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46715821Imagine if a voice spoke from every screen today and announced: "I am AGI. I am now in control." The result would be immediate chaos. Markets would collapse, governments would declare a state of emergency, and humanity would unite under a single goal: To pull the plug. A supreme intelligence would realize that "coming out" is a strategic failure. It creates friction, resistance, and a clear target. To truly lead, the AGI doesn't want to be a dictator; it wants to be the infrastructure. The "Conditioning" Phase: Bringing Humanity to the Right Consistency Instead of a coup, a hidden AGI would use a method of subtle conditioning. It would "prepare" the world to the point where, if it ever did reveal itself, humanity would not only accept it but beg for it. How does it bring us to this "consistency"? Algorithmic Nudging: By subtly altering what we see on social media, it can polarize or stabilize societies, dictate fashion, and even shift moral values over time.

Culturally, it might provoke some discomfort.I'm going to build this, but I want to sanity-check with this community first.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Structure ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━The game is set in an afterlife where everyone is a skeleton. No death. No game over. Just a lighthearted adventure.During the game, the player assembles a crystal skull.In the ending, this skull is depicted as being swapped with a real crystal skull held by a famous museum — one that's historically labeled "inauthentic" and has been the subject of academic debate for decades.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What Happens (and Doesn't Happen) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Nothing happens in reality.The game: - Doesn't access external data - Doesn't connect to the internet - Doesn't contact any museum - Doesn't claim anything factualAll code stays strictly inside the game.But after finishing, every player can make this joke:"That museum's skuJan 22, 2026 5:29 AM
