Show HN: Pokayoke – turn code conventions into checks for agentshttps://pokayoke.codesHey HN,Something I've been tinkering with in the background is a system to manage the "messy-middle" of TypeScript toolchains. Quite often, when I'm using Biome or any of the other linter / formatters, there will be repo conventions that I want to enforce (especially with AI agents), but which aren't supported by them, such as:- Enforcing lines-of-code limits in modules - Never using custom TailWind colors - Only using lowercase underscores in filenamesLike, this is quite "random" but also bread-and-butter stuff that it's easy to think or talk about when you're working by yourself or with a few other human teammates, but I've found that agents consistently miss these conventions if I put them in an AGENTS.md file for example.I wanted to make my esoteric repo conventions less stochastic, and more deterministic. I realised that agents are adept at writing the kind of code needed to run arbitrary checks on the TypeScript AST or workspace environment -- the kind of code that is cumbersome Jul 16, 2026 9:40 AM

Thinking: Alternate Distribution for Filmmakershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48931604This idea did not in anyway start with the intention of distribution. In my 20s there were a group of 12 of us, who shared a whatsapp group and every thursday, we had a standing appointment to decide and watch the interesting movie for the week.Over the years as life happens and folks got married, moved, priorities shifted, that ritual that almost lasted a decade fell apart.During the pandemic, given that most of us had a VR headset, we reconnected and started watching movies together - we'd setup a shared stream and would have a google chat going on the side, so that we can hear each other while the movie played.VR has been surprisingly good to recreate that theatrical atmosphere - but the worst bit is sitting in a virtual cinema as the only person. Dimming the lights out (within the virtual environment so that you don't see the empty chairs) and having a video call where we can hear each other on one of the ears, kinda felt a bit like the gang was back together.Even if it hasn't beenJul 16, 2026 8:06 AM

Show HN: Webround - an API-first e-commerce platformhttps://webround.com/enHi, I'm Luca, from Italy and I've spent the last two years building Webround: an API-first e-commerce platform. It started as a different project because I wanted to make my portfolio website editable without writing code and keeping the freedom to build any layout. But, while doing so, things evolved and the idea of making it a Headless platform for e-commerces started growing. That's when I went all-in and fired myself from my previous job and spent countless hours building (and re-building) it. You have a lot of freedom here: - You can no-code your website with the drag & drop editor and host it. - You can build custom React components in the very same editor, straight from the browser, installing any NPM package and using Tailwind. You also have access to an integrated SDK for e-commerce functions (like cart management, user auth sessions, checkout start, etc.) - You can leverage the public APIs documented at https://docs.webround.com to build virtually anything: integrations, custJul 15, 2026 8:59 AM

Ask HN: PhDs, how have you organized your research visits?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48906413Hi HN! Using a throwaway account but looking for advice from people having done research visits as PhD students, especially in terms of funding/accommodation/whether such an experience is worth the cost.I'm a second-year PhD candidate in France, working in NLP. In January I contacted a professor from another university in the Netherlands to ask about a research visit opportunity -- I did this because both my university and hers were part of a funding program for research visits. We had a call and she was very interested in my topic and the potential help I could give for her project (and I'm also very interested in what she's working on).I applied to this funding but my application was rejected because my university told me I should apply to another funding program specific to the university. I did that in March, but things have been going downhill, as the person who is supposed to deal with the applications left, and everything's mostly been on standby since. Thus, I haven't received Jul 14, 2026 1:19 PM
