Show HN: An aesthetic customizable online flip clock and my first ever apphttps://flipcloc.com/I know there are many flip clocks out there, but flip clocks are truly wonderful and my version FlipCloc is smooth, optimized, detailed, and fully customizable to match your workflow / aesthetics / mood.Often, flip clocks online feel half baked: choppy animations, bad flipping animations, lazy flap separations, sometimes not even distinct top and bottom flaps, zero customization, and so on. After playing with time related concepts in various projects, I wanted to build an app of my own and made this using WebGL and React. This is my first ever app and I’m quite proud of this beta version.Try the full experience for free in any browser. No ads, just a beautiful clock you can run in a tab, window, or PiP while working or studying. (One-time purchase unlocks saving custom themes, settings, and presets and is usable on the web, app, or screensaver.) You can start by trying out some of the different preset styles and then customizing it to your preferences.Key features:• Show/hide seconds, Feb 12, 2026 12:52 PM

Show HN: Privacy-first iOS Keyboard with above-key predictionshttps://www.klava.space/Hey y'all, building Klava – an iOS keyboard inspired by BlackBerry, Windows Phone and other iconic aesthetics. It's pretty cool, I love it.It started because I missed BlackBerry keyboard's above-key predictions dearly. That is, suggestions are displayed above individual keys as you type, and you can flick them up to input words. Then came the realisation that I am violently nostalgic for the design languages of the past, when phones were fun – and have been looking for something like that on iOS for ages. Lastly, I realised that everything should be highly customisable and privacy-first because that's nice for me and for everyone.v1.2 now out with 25+ languages supported. Any Qs on the peculiarities (there are a ton) of building a custom iOS keyboard – feel free to shoot, and any thoughts & feedback.Feb 11, 2026 6:11 PM

Show HN: Tangs.dev – Upload → Save to Drive → Share with Friendshttps://tangs.devHello!I’m the maker of Tangs, a simple way to upload a file, save it directly to your Google Drive, and share it instantly with a temporary link.I built Tangs because sharing files through Drive often feels more complicated than it should be: messy permissions, long links, and too many steps.As a developer, I often prepare documents or presentation materials on my work PC before meetings. But when I need to use those files in a conference room or on another computer, it always becomes a hassle.In a rush, I’d end up emailing attachments to myself, uploading to random shared folders, or dealing with access issues and cluttered links — all just to move a file quickly. It felt unnecessarily frustrating and restrictive, especially for something so common during day-to-day work.That pain point is what led me to build Tangs: a faster, cleaner way to get a file onto the right machine and share it instantly.With Tangs:- Upload once- Save to your own Google Drive- Share in seconds- Minimal GooglFeb 9, 2026 2:39 PM

As I didn't find a free-to-play version that fit my aesthetic standard, I decided to build my own.It's still a little rough around the edges, but you can already play against bots, invite online players via the lobby code, or play on the same machine with your friends.All in the browser.

Show HN: I built a RAG engine to search Singaporean lawshttps://github.com/adityaprasad-sudo/Explore-SingaporeI built a "Triple Failover" RAG for Singapore Laws, then rewrote the logic based on your feedback.Hi everyone!I’m a student developer. Recently, I created Explore Singapore, a RAG-based search engine that scrapes about 20,000 pages of Singaporean government acts and laws.I recently posted the MVP and received some tough but essential feedback about hallucinations and query depth. I took that feedback, focused on improvements, and just released Version 2.Here is how I upgraded the system from a basic RAG to a production-grade one.The Design & UI I aimed to avoid a dull government website.Design: Heavily inspired by Apple’s minimalist style.Tech: Custom frontend interacting with a Python backend.The V2 Engineering OverhaulThe community challenged me on three main points. Here’s how I addressed them:1. The "Personality" Fix Issue: I use a "Triple Failover" system with three models as backup.

Show HN: WarpParse – Rust ETL engine 1.5–8x faster than Vectorhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46880903Hey HN, We’ve been working on WarpParse, an open-source (Apache 2.0) ETL engine built in Rust, and we’re excited to share it with you today. We built it because we found that existing tools often struggled with resource efficiency or configuration complexity when handling massive log volumes. WarpParse aims to solve this with: Performance: 1.5x to 8x higher throughput than Vector in our benchmarks. Efficiency: Uses ~1/3 the CPU and ~37% of the memory of Vector under similar loads. DSLs: We created WPL (Warp Parse Language) for strong-typed parsing and OML (Object Modeling Language) for declarative data enrichment with native SQL integration. We’ve also built a visual editor (WpEditor) to make rule-writing less of a headache. We’d love to hear your thoughts on the architecture, the DSL approach, or any feedback you have after checking out the repo.

Even as a fast dev, I wasn't fast enough for my ideas. Then came Vibe Codinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46877447The Speed Trap of Modern DevI’ve always been a fast developer. I know my stack, I know my shortcuts. But there was still a painful latency between my mental architecture and the screen. My ideas always outpaced my output. No matter how fast I typed, the "Implementation Friction" was a tax on my creativity.The 10x Shift: Moving at the Speed of ThoughtVibe Coding didn't just make me "better" — it removed the mechanical bottleneck. I’m no longer translating thoughts into code; I’m describing the vibe of the system and watching it manifest.The Result: I’m building things alone that previously required a dedicated team or a month-long sprint.The High: The dopamine hit isn't just about "it works." It’s the rush of zero latency. It's the feeling of your brain being directly plugged into the compiler.The "Dark Side" of Hyper-FlowBut here’s the rub: When you remove the friction, you remove the "sanity check."The Addiction: The feedback loop is so fast that it becomes a slot machine.

Show HN: OpenSymbolicAI – Agents with typed variables, not just context stuffinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46876687Hi HN,We've spent the last year building AI agents and kept hitting the same wall: prompt engineering doesn't feel like software engineering. It feels like guessing.We built OpenSymbolicAI to turn agent development into actual programming. It is an open-source framework (MIT) that lets you build agents using typed primitives, explicit decompositions, and unit tests.THE MAIN PROBLEM: CONTEXT WINDOW ABUSEMost agent frameworks (like ReAct) force you to dump tool outputs back into the LLM's context window to decide the next step.Agent searches DB.Agent gets back 50kb of JSON.You paste that 50kb back into the prompt just to ask "What do I do next?"This is slow, expensive, and confuses the model.THE SOLUTION: DATA AS VARIABLESIn OpenSymbolicAI, the LLM generates a plan (code) that manipulates variables. The actual heavy data (search results, PDF contents, API payloads) is stored in the Python/runtime variables and is never passed through the LLM context until a specific primitive actually neFeb 3, 2026 8:19 PM

Show HN: I turned my PDFs into audiobooks I can have conversations withhttps://asktotle.comHey HN,TLDR: Upload any document, get an audiobook with synced highlighting you can pause and talk to.I'm a self-taught dev (admittedly mediocre), currently between jobs and my brain is absolutely fried from social media. I can't read anymore. My eyes glaze over after two paragraphs.So I went down a rabbit hole looking for scientifically proven ways to actually focus while reading:- Encoding info visually AND aurally reduces mind wandering by up to 40% - Retrieval practice (asking questions) beats passive re-reading every time - Background music matched to content keeps you in flowCouldn't find anything that did all this. So I built it myself:- Synced text highlighting while you listen - Talk with your book; pause and ask "wait what does that mean?" and it knows exactly where you are (won't spoil what's ahead) - Adaptive background music that matches the mood of each pageI've removed all slop. No flashy features, no gamification etc. etc. Just reading on steroids for fried brains, likeFeb 2, 2026 11:49 AM
