Show HN: Stagehand – the open source SDK for browser agentsHey HN, I’m Sam, a maintainer of Stagehand, and I’m excited to show off Stagehand v4: the SDK for browser agents.For agents to do most knowledge work, they needs access to the internet. Today most people allow their agents to use Playwright to control a browser for them.But Playwright was built for testing, not agents.If you’ve ever tried to give it to your agent, you’ll quickly run into bloated context windows, inability to use iframes, and painful state sync issues (on remote browsers).We built Stagehand specifically for agents. v4 fixes all of Playwright’s issues, with better page snapshotting, nested iframe support, webmcp, self-healing primitives, and we even rebuilt it to run as an extension in the browser which minimizes round trip time for all requests.We’re roughly ~80% more token efficient and 2x faster than Playwright.Use AI primitives for self-healing automations in natural language: // Act: execute natural language actions await stagehand.act("click the login button"); //
Show HN: OpenParser – swappable OCR models in one APIWe build document AI workflows, and OCR is finicky. At scale, it becomes hard to debug errors and compare confidence scores across providers.New OCR models appear all the time, so we wanted one interface that lets us swap models in and out without rewriting around each provider. So far, we’ve integrated nine models from PaddleOCR, Mistral, Azure, Google and AWS Textract. We run them at cost, with no markup.We also created and open-sourced a shared schema, openparser@1, plus adapters that normalize each provider’s response. You can switch OCR models without changing the rest of your application:https://github.com/eigenpal/openparserI’d appreciate feedback on the schema and which models or providers we should add next.
Show HN: Nitpicler. I was quoted $1M for AI PR review – so I bulit it myselfHi HN. I wanted an AI reviewer on every PR at work. Quotes came back around $1M/year, almost entirely per-seat licensing. I built a true open source alternative. We use it internally at Postman and the cost is ~$300/m in token usage. It's open source, self hosted (also supports AWS lambda, cloudflare workers or Github actions) and can be deployed in under a minute. It is lightweight (only diff is sent to the LLM), support any LLM provider and scalable. Our busiest repo has thousands of PRs a day and we usually get PR reviews within 30 seconds.Give it a try and let me know what you think - https://nitpicker.dev
Show HN: Edgi – Letterboxd or Strava for your brainHi HNExcited to share edgi.tv - an educational media platform where the things you learn accumulate into a visual map of your intellectual interests. The experiment is whether you can build a consumer product around intellectual identity, something like Letterboxd or Strava but for your brain.The main entry point is a curated TikTok-style feed that surfaces vids from creators like Kurzgezagt, VSauce, AstroAlexandra, Cleo Abram, 3Blue1Brown, etymologynerd, etc with interactive games accessible on top of the videos. You can also create podcasts, quizzes, etc with AI on any topic you’re interested in and earn XP towards concepts.Concepts are the unit that connect all media together and create the knowledge graph and power the rec algo. As you engage with a concept, you have a chance to earn a Concept Card (a Pokemon-style collectible for that idea). The concepts then accumulate on a mind map, which doubles as a social surface so you can see what friends are interested in and where your in
SETI@Home was the coolest thingI still remember it decades ago, sitting at home, staring at graphics on my screen, staring at graphs of it processing data.I felt like I was contributing to something. And for the time and the era that it was in, the graphics were cool. The graphs were cool.The guy who thought that up should get an award. What a way to take a non-profit program, and turn it into something of beauty. What are way to engage the public!It was groundbreaking, new and unique And in me, it just produces fond memories.This seems to be missing from the modern web. I think it's almost like a small town feel, that flare of uniqueness that you get when you know everybody in the town. The web is just gone, past that point, never to return.

Show HN: Working on gym weight progress calculatorTL;DR: I made a weight lifting progression planner (no ads/subscription): https://www.gymcalc.noI like to plan my progress either for whole workout programs or for specific exercises for some weeks at the time. I also like to start with a bit high rep/low weight, while decreasing reps and steadily increasing the estimated 1RM.I messed around a lot with Excel to make different "rep/set schemes" and calculated weights. After experimenting a bit, I ended up making a little web based tool for this: https://www.gymcalc.noIt is NOT a workout tracker or full program builder, but a generic rep/weight progression planner for a single exercise, where you can:- Set weight progression method (linear, power, step-based, percentage-based) - Choose progression target (working weight or estimated 1RM) - Set rep progression (constant, cyclic, interpolated) - Distribute set weights (same, RM-adjusted, percentage-based) - Add deloads and pre/post sets - Pick RM formula used for any calculations - Save, l

Show HN: OptiQra – Open-source AI website optimization and intelligence platformHi HN,I've been building OptiQra for quite a while, and I finally finished the desktop version.OptiQra is an open-source website intelligence and optimization platform. It can crawl and analyze websites or local projects, identify SEO/AEO/GEO, accessibility, performance and technical issues, explain them with AI, and automatically fix them.The desktop version is where the project gets particularly interesting. It can run locally, work with local projects, operate offline for analysis that doesn't require cloud services, and run scheduled scans in the background.The workflow is roughly:URL/project → crawl → analyze → understand the issues → inspect them on the actual site → fix them → verify the result.It also has a fairly visual crawler, including live 2D and 3D crawl trees, and the AI interface is customizable rather than being limited to a single assistant personality.I built the UI and CSS myself rather than using Tailwind/shadcn, and the project has grown considerably beyond a simp
