I Replaced My AI Agent's Flat Fact Store with a Graph Databasehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48383578# I Replaced My AI Agent's Flat Fact Store with a Graph Database and It Runs in 85MBI've been building LocalClaw, a local-model-first AI agent framework running on personal hardware through Ollama. No cloud, no API costs. A few weeks ago I posted about the router/specialist architecture. A lot of people asked about the memory system so here's that.## The ProblemStarted with a JSONL fact store and embedding similarity retrieval. Simple enough until it wasn't. After a few weeks of real use I had 14 near-duplicate facts about the same topics from different sessions. Layered dedup on top of dedup and it still wasn't clean.The bigger problem was relationships. "Peter works at DevMesh" and "DevMesh is building an outreach platform" were two separate embeddings. You could retrieve each one but you couldn't traverse from one to the other. No multi-hop. No fact evolution. Old facts and new facts coexisted with no signal about which was current.Four iterations on the flat store later I accepted Jun 3, 2026 1:15 PM

Show HN: Open-source general-purpose alternative to Exa Websetshttps://github.com/tinyfish-io/bigsetHey Everyone!So I get to spend most of my day tweaking and playing around with really powerful search engines at TinyFish (which is so awesome). I’ve recently been super fascinated by the idea of using a search engine recursively to build datasets.Been playing around with Exa’s WebSets product quite a bit and realized it was mainly focused on prospecting, and it creates datasets with a lot of missing data.So we built a fully open source project, that can build and update datasets on any topic.Datasets I have generated so far, “All products that Starbucks sells on amazon, with their price and if they are in stock”, “All theme parks in California, with ticket prices” , “All YC companies that are currently hiring for eng roles with their hiring page link” Would love for yall’s to try it out, and drop your thoughts, stars and feedback. Thanks!Jun 2, 2026 5:58 PM

Show HN: Circus Chief – Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini from Your Phonehttps://github.com/ferrislucas/Circus-ChiefHi HN,Circus Chief is a tool for managing coding agent sessions from a browser. It's specifically optimized for small screens. It supports Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Gemini CLI agents.FeaturesAgents can operate Circus Chief itself. Agents can spawn sessions, schedule sessions, interact with the Kanban board — anything you can do in the UI, an agent can also do.Schedule work ahead of time.Automatically reschedule when you hit usage limits.Configurable, chainable prompt templates.User-defined commands - agents can run them and see the results, and so can you in the UI. Handy for local CI or routine workflow steps.Worktree-per-session isolation, or elect to work on a specific branch.Shared canvas - this is a place for shared artifacts that don't belong in the code. Useful for iterating on planning documents.Bring your own provider. Use subscription auth for Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, or point sessions at third-party providers with Anthropic- or OpenAI-compatible endpoints.IfJun 2, 2026 1:59 PM

Show HN: Scan2Sheet – Receipt Scanner to Google Sheets for easy expense trackinghttps://www.scan2sheet.comAfter several months of development and refinement, my mobile app, Scan2Sheet, is finally published and live on Apple Store and Play Store.The idea for Scan2Sheet came from a problem I had myself: managing piles of paper receipts for tax deductions and expense tracking. Manually entering receipt data into spreadsheets is time-consuming, tedious, and prone to errors. On top of that, paper receipts can easily be lost, damaged, or overlooked.With Scan2Sheet, simply take a photo of the receipt whenever making your purchases. In just a few clicks, the extracted expense data and a copy of the receipt image are automatically saved to your own Google Sheets document. There's minimal manual data entry, and no need to learn or manage another dashboard, database, or accounting system.Here are the links to download:- For IOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scan2sheets/id6760991697- For Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.scan2s...The product's landing page: https://www.scJun 2, 2026 12:38 PM

Ask HN: Anyone else seeing serious degradation in DX with Opus 4.8?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48356061As an anthropic fan boy(check my prev. comments), this is the first opus release where I feel like the model is just not pleasant to talk to not to mention untrustworthy.The two examples for me where I lost confidence in it is once where it started with 2 random echo commands: https://snipboard.io/tpqfP2.jpg Another where I asked it to create a new landing page and it just deleted an existing app page as a replacement.I'm not exactly sure if this is a harness problem with the claude code updates(maybe system prompt changed) or if its just the model itself that has gotten too "safety-pilled" as I've been seeing similar opinions where devs are complaining about the fact that the model seems to distrust the user's intentions.Either way, this is the first model release where I've downgraded to previous model since I was already pretty happy with it before. Should make it clear if its a model problem or the harnessJun 1, 2026 12:40 PM
