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 reApr 21, 2026 2:25 PM

Ask HN: Is it still worth making "Huge" Language Models for dev tools?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47599270I just want to ask the frontier builders and developers who are working on the flagship models a few questions. Is it still cost-efficient and worth it to keep making huge language models, when smaller, specialized models should be enough?Meaning that, when a user is working in a codebase with a certain framework, should the agent/model also know the complete chemical composition of an element, world history, and other random facts? Or should it only know the related and needed things? For example, an agent working in a MERN stack should really only know:- Language Documentation - Framework and Library Documentation - English Interpretation - Composition and Combination of the aboveThe writing style and other details are already customized by developers who have been building for a long time; tools like Prettier and ESLint can do this. And in engineering, aren't the steps usually:- What is needed? - What are we working with? - What is the end goal? - What should be the best combinationApr 1, 2026 11:06 AM

We Replaced Every Tool Claude Code Ships Withhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47468649Claude Code ships with Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Task, Plan. For a single agent on a single task, they're fine. Once you're running a multi-agent system, the defaults break fast.The problems we hit:1) No cross-repo exploration. Want an agent to read another project's code? You need to manually configure permissions. There's no "go explore this OSS repo and answer my question."2) Summarized web fetching. WebFetch is actually a subagent that summarizes a single page into a haiku-length response. Can't trace links or browse related pages. Fetches fresh every time — no caching.3) Text-level editing. Edit has fuzzy matching, which helps — but it's still raw text. When tree-sitter can give you an AST with named symbols, why make the model reproduce strings to target a function?4) Ephemeral tasks and plans. Tasks don't persist outside the session. Plans vanish when context resets. Neither supports multi-round review or structured editing.5) Flat delegation. The Agent toolMar 21, 2026 4:44 PM

Show HN: FixYou – AI tool that tells you which cancer screenings you needhttps://www.fixyou.app/The USPSTF and ACS publish thorough cancer screening guidelines, but they're dense and scattered across dozens of pages. What you actually need depends on your age, sex, family history, smoking status, and other factors. Most people, including me until recently, simply don't know what they should be getting checked for.I built FixYou after losing my grandfather to colon cancer that was caught too late. After his diagnosis, my parents went for colonoscopies and found polyps, early and treatable. We didn't lack access to healthcare. We lacked clarity.FixYou is a free tool that: 1. Walks you through a short AI conversation about your health profile 2. Cross-references your answers against current USPSTF and ACS screening guidelines 3. Gives you a "Shield Score" (0 to 100) and a prioritized list of screenings to scheduleThe goal isn't to replace your doctor. It's to prepare you for the conversation, and to be the nudge that gets you to actually book that colonoscopy or mammogram you've beeMar 3, 2026 2:02 PM

Show HN: Context Harness – Local first context engine for AI toolshttps://github.com/parallax-labs/context-harnessContext Harness is a single Rust binary that gives AI tools like Cursor and Claude project-specific memory. It ingests docs, code, Jira tickets, Slack threads, and anything else into a local SQLite database, indexes them with FTS5 and optional vector embeddings, and exposes hybrid search via CLI and an MCP-compatible HTTP server.I built this because I kept hitting the same problem: AI tools are powerful but have no memory of my complex multi-repo project. They can't search our internal docs, past incidents, or architecture decisions. Cloud RAG services exist, but they're complex, expensive, and your data leaves your machine. I wanted something I could point at my sources and just run `ctx sync all`.Quick start: # Install (pre-built binaries available for macOS/Linux/Windows) cargo install --git https://github.com/parallax-labs/context-harness.git # Create config and initialize ctx init # Sync your data sources (filesystem, Git, S3, or Lua scripts) ctx sync all # Search from CLI ctx seaFeb 26, 2026 6:26 AM
