Show HN: Draco – A single-binary, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative in Rusthttps://github.com/0xchasercat/draco/Scraping modern websites has become a massive headache. You basically have two choices: pay for an expensive API like Firecrawl/Browserbase, or run a fleet of headless Chrome instances that eat 1GB of RAM per page and still get blocked by Cloudflare.I built Draco to fix this. It’s a fast, single-binary web scraper written in Rust. You point it at a URL, and it spits out perfectly clean Markdown or structured JSON for LLMs.The secret sauce is that it doesn't just boot a browser for every request. It uses a tiered escalation engine:Tier 1 (Stealth Fetch): Draco uses a custom TLS/JA4 fingerprint to perfectly mimic a real browser's network signature at the packet level. It turns out a lot of anti-bot walls will let you right through if your handshake looks correct. In my benchmarks against sites like Cloudflare and Target, Playwright ate ~500MB of RAM and timed out. Draco bypassed them in under a second using just 20MB of RAM.Tier 2 (V8 Isolate): If it hits a React/Next.js SPA that needs r

Show HN: A mod for Grand Prix Circuit (DSI/Accolade, 1988)https://marnetto.net/projects/grand-prix-circuitHello HN,I have built a mod for Grand Prix Circuit, an old 2.5D racing game: the latest episode of a long series of community efforts to reverse-engineer and improve the games made by Distinctive Software (today's EA Vancouver) in the DOS era.I've been dabbling in hacking old DOS games for almost two years, but this time I think my project is big enough to be worthy of a “Show HN“.From the gaming point of view, the mod offers a variety of new cars and tracks, from Spa to the Space, and more sophisticated EGA backgrounds than the original game.From the technical point of view, it was an interesting effort combining reverse engineering, development, design and pixel art, all of which both in classic and LLM-assisted variants.From the literary point of view, I have documented the making of the game in a series of (fully human-written) posts [1]. There is something for everyone: war stories, hacking techniques, the word “boustrophedonic” and, as bonus, an outdoor game to keep your kids awa

Show HN: Vein, a minimalist open-source resource management gamehttps://d2ykijtrvb890q.cloudfront.net/Recently I've been working on Vein, a small open-source resource management game built with Godot.I've always loved resource management board games, and I wanted to see how minimal I could make one. The core idea is simple: keep the heart beating by supplying it with the resources it demands. I tried to strip the mechanics down as much as possible while still leaving room for interesting decisions, and I added a short tutorial to help players get started.The problem is that I still don't feel like I've found the right gameplay loop. It works, but it isn't yet the game I imagined. I'd really appreciate any feedback—whether it's about the mechanics, pacing, tutorial, UI, or anything else that stands out. I'm especially interested in ideas for making the core loop deeper without making the game more complicated.Most of the development was done with Claude Sonnet as a coding partner, while I focused on the design, gameplay, and iteration. The game engine is Godot.You can play it here: http

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

Show HN: A little physical breakout clonehttps://brontosaurusrex.github.io/physical/v7/Idea: How about a 5 minute game I can play in my browser and it's actually fun to play.Controls: Mouse or keyboard (left/right, left alt/right alt or A/D), space and esc are pause toggle. Page up / Page Down are next or previous level (if already unlocked).Cheats: Z toggles zapper, M toggles magnets.Debug stuff: I, P, E keys are toggles for various stuff (E lets you change some aspects of physics engine).Game is maybe playable on mobile devices, there is a menu on top right, and then click the circle to select type of control.Physical engine is decoupled from refresh rate and runs at 240 Hz.Fully vibe coded (deepseek, chatgpt), levels are human made with some amount of love.

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: 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
