Show HN: A LaTeX resume builder that compiles offline in the browserhttps://ihatelatex.com/Whenever my juniors used to ask me how to build an ATS-friendly resume, I used to advise them to create a LaTeX resume. I'd share a .tex file with my template.They opened it, copied and pasted it into Overleaf, compiled it, and whoa - it generated my resume.Then they went through the complex LaTeX code, figuring out what to change and where, ran into hundreds of errors, and even AI-generated code gave them bugs.Resume contains personal information, which students hesitate to share with everyone.To solve exactly this problem, I created a small tool: "IhateLaTex" IhateLaTex.comIt's the first free, offline LaTeX resume builder, without going through complex code. It works offline, right in your browser, without saving your sensitive information in any server.

Show HN: Minna – On-device semantic search across your own documents (macOS)https://github.com/impel-intelligence/MinnaHi HN! Minna is a new tool geared towards people who have a knowledge base so big they forget where things are.- Chat answers are constrained to retrieved results. The model has to search your knowledge base first and cite the document it pulled from. It won't answer from outside your knowledge base which means you can trust the LLM instead of having to be weary about what it outputs. - Hybrid retrieval — BM25 over an inverted index for exact and keyword matches, plus a vector index for semantic matches, results are fused using Reciprocal Ranked Fusion. - Embeddings and inference both run on-device. Search uses bge-small-en and run on the neural engine. Chat uses Qwen3 4B running on MLX. - Search latency is ~12 ms across 250 documents split into 30,000 chunks on Apple Silicon.What’s not done; OCR scanning on PDFs is limited, the app is currently Apple Silicon only, and there are some rough edges in the UI.It’s a TestFlight beta (apologies, but it is the cleanest distribution path right

Show HN: MCP app for Android, drive apps via AI (no root, PII redacted locally)https://github.com/danielealbano/android-remote-control-mcp/Hi HN, author here.Android Remote Control MCP is an MCP server that runs directly on your Android phone (no root, no ADB, no computer in the middle) and lets an AI agent drive real apps the way a human would: it reads the screen through the accessibility tree, taps, types, scrolls, optionally also screenshots.I spent a lot of time optimizing tool usage and token consumption, and making it work not only via local harnesses but also via Claude.ai / Claude Desktop and chatgpt.com (if you have the proper account, the app acts as its own OAuth server, you approve connections with a code on the phone).The newest part is Privacy Mode, and it exists because after an earlier release someone told me in plain terms they'd never use it because, rightfully, they didn't want the LLM provider to see everything on their screen! So now a combination of a small local model plus deterministic detectors identify personal information (emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IBANs, national IDs, English names,

Show HN: Infinitely nestable visual task organizer and workload simulatorhttps://projectzen.com/homeI built ProjectZen because ordinary task managers often show what needs doing, but not whether the accumulated workload is realistic.The homepage includes a working demo, no login required. I’d especially value feedback on whether the workload view makes sense without explanation and whether it would change how you plan a real project.This project is personally interesting to me because, as a product manager for many years, I never found a tool with the usability and visual workload simulation I knew was possible. Without the latter, I felt disoriented and more helpless when it came to being pressured into scope creep. ProjectZen was created as a side project using Angular, Django, Google App Engine, Google Cloud SQL, and Firebase Authentication.The tool includes Infinite nesting for breaking down projects and tasks (inspired by tools like Workflowy and Dynalist) Displaying items in kanban boards Visualization of tasks based on size and simulation of overall workload over time Also inc

Show HN: Halftone Stencil Cutterhttps://github.com/kink80/cutterI felt in love with simple sprayed stencil making with my new laser engraver but shortly after I thought I could make it to the next level and try something more elaborate.My idea was to create cardboard stencils so I can then airbrush it onto the final medium colour by colour. This isn't anything new, there are online services that would let you to download cuts or even let it order them pre-cut.This sparked an idea of how to simplify the stencil creation process without needing to swap between different software tools - this is how the cutter had been born.It actually works, I usually need to fine tune the cutout shape so the airbrush works to my liking but otherwise it greatly improved my creative process.The UI is rather simple, it contains all the important knobs and transformations needed for the final cut.Happy cutting.

Show HN: Automatically detect and patch walking-dead states in Sierra gameshttps://github.com/katiahayati/lucasartsifier/Hi HN, I've become lazier in my old age and struggle to replay my favorite Sierra games from the 80s and 90s because I keep getting into those situations where I need an item from 3 acts ago, I have no save game handy, and now I gotta make dinner.So I'm building the Lucasartsifier: a static analysis tool that decompiles Sierra resource files, automatically finds those states, automatically generates code to prevent the player from getting into those states, then emits loose patch files that can be placed alongside the original game resources. There's no game-specific code involved; all the logic is generic, though of course Sierra introduces new idioms and mechanics in every game so every new supported game needs a bunch of engine work.So for example in Leisure Suit Larry 2, the patched game prevents you from boarding the cruise ship until you have both the sunscreen and the Grotesque Gulp. Without them you die on the raft 3 play-hours later.So far this works on Leisure Suit Larry 2 (S

Show HN: ResumeSkip – automatically tailor your resume to jobshttps://resumeskip.com/just gonna make it simple: all job portals scan resumes with AI now, if you aren't tailoring your resume to each posting you're already behind.. Some companies even use AI to interview ().You can do this yourself for free * (token cost) if you want, but you'll have to craft a good prompt, use a good agent you have access to, and validate the outcomes over time, or have an agent build an app for you to track this. That's the future we're in I guess.TL;DR / Why us? - ResumeSkip makes it easy to tailor your resume to every job posting and track application status - We have tools for validating what we are doing is working for you - you can tailor resumes to job listings based on your data, you can get personalized interview prep guidance for a job posting and your skill set, and you can generate or improve cover letters. We don't promise they will pass any AI scanners (though we try our best to make them authentic) we do promise we do everything in our power to ground all content in your

Show HN: Voidleap Code – agentic IDE, own harness, swap models mid-conversationhttps://voidleap.com/We wanted to build a development environment that can make you a better agentic engineer, not a tool that makes money when you waste tokens. A tool where you can swap models between turns, edit the context, and see every agent action. To do it, we had to build our own harness.Free to use. We don't sell inference, so bring your own key. The sore spot is Claude subscriptions. We can't support them because of Anthropic's terms.The app runs on your machine, and your data never touches our servers.We've been building Voidleap Code using Voidleap Code since January. We didn't rush to launch, but instead focused on getting the architecture and package just right. There are still more features to build, and more polishing to do, but it's ready for you to try.Judge it for yourself and tell us what you think.

Show HN: Pg_disorder – shuffle or reverse unordered SELECT resultshttps://github.com/viralpraxis/pg_disorderHey HN!I'm interested in chaos engineering, automatically detecting flaky tests, and, more generally, building tools that can find/trigger invalid states in software systems.My latest experiment is pg_disorder, a PostgreSQL extension that automatically shuffles (or reverses) the results of `SELECT` queries without an `ORDER BY` clause. While the order of rows isn't specified, applications (sometimes) implicitly assume that rows will be returned in insertion order. The project was initially aimed at finding flaky tests, but it also helped uncover bugs in projects like Gitea and Rails (see references in the repo).Some DBMSs have this feature built-in, e.g. SQLite's `reverse_unordered_selects` pragma, but PostgreSQL doesn't.I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

I made a secure way for agents to request secrets from you using HyperDHThttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49346770Hi all,I kinda got sick of having to give secrets to my agents and all the potential leakage in the pipeline (with the harness, the model router, the model provider, the training set, the chat application etc etc) so I decided to make peardrop.fyi - this tool allows your agent to declaratively generate secret request pages/links which you can fill in via web or CLI. The agent can determine a script that runs once the values are received or can put them in a target folder. This is useful if you want to put something in your machine vault/keychain without either giving access to the credentials or the browser to the agent.here is the repo: https://github.com/smashah/peardrop(cli, core and self-hostable relay are all open source)

Show HN: My agents kept hallucinating APIs, so I built them a headless IDEhttps://context-engine.appI built Context Engine last year mostly out of frustration. Agents impressed me and made me angry at the same time: they kept calling APIs that don't exist, re-implementing APIs already defined in the codebase, and getting stuck in write-compile-rewrite loops. Sometimes they seemed very intelligent and sometimes extremely stupid. But they aren't stupid: take any brilliant engineer, give them a whiteboard, and ask them to implement a new feature in a large codebase they have never seen. And for agents, every session is a project they have never seen.The problem is that agents lack proper tooling. They work with plain text, like human engineers in 1995, in the pre-IDE era, and they face the same problems engineers faced 30 years ago. Where a human engineer just hovers over a symbol or presses F12, an agent spends thousands of tokens to get the same result. So I built the IDE part they were missing, without the editor part they don't need — an IDE headless in the same sense as a headless
