Show HN: Collab Word in Web - A collaborative DOCX Editor with MS Word Parityhttps://collab.word-in-web.com/TLDR: Collab WIW is a DOCX editor with MS Word parity that supports real-time collaborative editing. The collab layer is end to end encrypted and uses ephemeral rooms with stable share URLs. Ever collab room lives in only memory. Collaborator saved copies can bring the room back online at the same URL and reconcile offline edits.The MS Word parity DOCX editor: I made a previous HN post about the editor itself. It is a pure JS DOCX editor that renders and edits the original document directly in the DOM instead of converting it into some other format.I benchmarked it pretty heavily against thousands of pages to push for pixel and feature parity, including equations, tables, 3D objects, headers, footnotes, etc... I am not going to get too deep into that because I already posted a ShowHN earlier. The parity report has all of the fixtures I tested and the actual results.Edit: Link to previous HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48995304The server: The collab BE was actually inspired by

A 1989 Unix finger protocol prank at UW-Milwaukeehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49121204In 1989, as a CS undergrad at UW-Milwaukee, I had access to a graduate Unix lab. One afternoon, the grad students discovered they could scan the network for users who had accidentally left their .plan files world-writable. For the uninitiated, the finger command let you see who was logged in, and it displayed their local .plan file. Because default security permissions were incredibly relaxed back then, you could sometimes write directly to someone else's file. The grad students wrote a script to append a snarky message mocking the users' permissions: "I AM FAR MOR THAN AN IGNORANT MORON..." Later that night, the lab cleared out. Left to my own devices, curiosity got the better of me. I ran a similar scan to see if any open files were left. I found one, and the user’s login name immediately caught my eye: "beaver". The temptation was simply too great. I opened their file and wrote the only logical sentence:"If you are reading this, then you are fingering the beaver!" After literally fa

Show HN: One page personal calendar with hierarchyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49119723Hello everyone! actions.life is a one page personal calendar. Unlike traditional to-do lists, which divide information into many pages, this app uses hierarchy to fit everything* on one page.The UI is designed to be predictable, like a physical desk with moveable objects, so nothing gets forgotten. The limitation from this physical design helps with focus and restraint: unlike knowledge bases, which are vast and interconnected, “action bases” should be constraint and scoped, for encouraging action.It complements apps like Notion and Google Calendar, and works for mobile and desktop on iOS 26+ and Chrome.I hope you can give it a shot and become my user! I will fix things and improve things (I've been full-time since 2024).https://beta.actions.life

Show HN: What should the GUI for AI agents look like?https://marbleos.com/demoHi HN! We’re Akilan and Miguel, the creators of MarbleOS.The inspiration for Marble comes from the GUI work at Xerox PARC, the 1984 Macintosh, and later NeXTSTEP, which became the foundation for Mac OS X. Before GUIs, interacting with a computer was limited to strange terminal commands:C:\> DIRC:\> COPY FILE.TXT A:You had to remember the command, syntax, paths, and parameters.The GUI made those capabilities visible. Instead of remembering commands, you could point at files, drag them, click buttons, and select actions from menus. It didn't necessarily make entirely new things possible; it just made existing capabilities much easier to understand and use. We feel like AI is still somewhere around this command-line stage.Even though the strict syntax has been replaced with natural language, the interaction can still be quite stiff and depend on heavily recall. Tools like Claude Cowork still look surprisingly terminal-like: /skill-name [param1] [param2]. The parameters are written in natu
