Show HN: AI Subroutines – Run automation scripts inside your browser tabWe built AI Subroutines in rtrvr.ai. Record a browser task once, save it as a callable tool, replay it at: zero token cost, zero LLM inference delay, and zero mistakes.The subroutine itself is a deterministic script composed of discovered network calls hitting the site's backend as well as page interactions like click/type/find.The key architectural decision: the script executes inside the webpage itself, not through a proxy, not in a headless worker, not out of process. The script dispatches requests from the tab's execution context, so auth, CSRF, TLS session, and signed headers get added to all requests and propagate for free. No certificate installation, no TLS fingerprint modification, no separate auth stack to maintain.During recording, the extension intercepts network requests (MAIN-world fetch/XHR patch + webRequest fallback). We score and trim ~300 requests down to ~5 based on method, timing relative to DOM events, and origin. Volatile GraphQL operation IDs are detected and fo
Show HN: Octopoddy – iOS Podcast App Using Transcripts and LLMs to Skip AdsTL;DR I'm a fan of podcasts and I despise ads. I built an iOS app to detect and skip in audio ad content.Motivation: I love podcasts, especially multi hour ones that go into detail on niche topics. One thing that puts me off some podcasts is having the flow become interrupted, especially mid sentence by dynamically inserted ads. Last year this led me down a rabbit hole of experimenting with removing ads from the podcasts I listen to.Experimentation: At first I tried using Whisper for ad detection to generate a transcript of an episode, then feed this to ChatGPT and ask it to find the ad timestamps. This worked surprisingly well. I had a proof of concept working but I wanted something I could actually use on my phone.Productionization: Next I wondered if I were to productionize my prototype how would I do that? From experimenting the main issue would be volume of audio transcription required to satisfy a moderate-heavy podcast listener. I estimated ~100 hours of audio per month would be

Show HN: Puppetflow a free browser automation platformHi HN,I'm Jess, dev based in France. Been building software for ~15 years, and for almost a year now I've been working on Puppetflow, a source-available browser automation platform built around Puppeteer, with a big focus on observability and debugging.Source is here: https://github.com/puppetflow/puppetflowIf you want the long story, I wrote some blog posts along the development process: https://b.puppetflow.comIt all started when I was using Puppeteer more and more on real projects and kept hitting the same wall: writing the automation was the easy part but running it and figuring out why it broke was the real pain. When a script fails in production, I want answers: what happened, which step failed, what was on the page at that moment, what happened before, and what was in the console.I was writing just a bunch of scripts I was constantly debugging with screenshots, logs, endless retries, and little diagnostic tools. Last year, I finally tried to build a proper workflow/framework and
