Show HN: eInk Optimized Manga with Kindle Comic Converter (+Kobo/KOreader)https://github.com/ciromattia/kccKindle Comic Converter optimizes black & white (or color) comics and manga for E-ink ereaders like Kindle, Kobo, ReMarkable, and more. Pages display in fullscreen without margins, with proper fixed layout support. KCC runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.KCC's main goal is maximum image quality at significantly smaller file size. For example, KCC1) can compress a 600 MB manga volume from Humble Bundle to 100 MB. This is mostly accomplished by downscaling to the native resolution of your specific device. This can also improve battery life, page turn speed, and general performance on underpowered ereaders with small memory and storage capacities.2) fixes black levels to avoid gray/faded blacks found in many Kindle Store manga3) fixes the rainbow effect on Kaleido 3 color eink without blur using the Discrete Fourier Transform (community PR)It can also semi-automatically join pre-split 2 page spreads and has several KOreader optimizations as well.

Coding Agents killed my identity. How do you feel?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49389408I always was a nerdy, deeply technical programmer. Contributing-to-open-source-and-reading-papers-in-my-spare-time type of programmer.Programming is like a game of chess for me: winning (i.e. delivering a product) is important, but only if I played this game myself. I don't enjoy winning if my opponent disconnected. I don't enjoy beating people who don't know how to move pieces. I don't enjoy winning with an engine, and coding agents are basically "winning with a chess engine".I started to use AI for coding a long time ago, when copilot was first introduced. At first, I was happy: "wow, this can write boring boilerplate and unit tests". Time went by, agents got better, time spent writing code myself went down. Half a year ago I suddenly realized I hadn't written any code for over a month, and I am a full-time software dev without any managing work. Not only did I stop writing code, but agents also became pretty good at proposing plans and architectures, and I was mostly providing missi

The team's opening match against Stade Rennais this Sunday has been moved to Rennes after their Parc de Prince pitch was deemed unsafe to play on after weeks of sweltering heat in Paris.

Ronaldinho returns in search of 'beautiful' 300th goalhttps://www.france24.com/en/video/20260821-ronaldinho-returns-in-search-of-beautiful-300th-goalFormer Brazil star Ronaldinho, who retired from the game in 2015, said on Thursday that he was making a comeback 11 years later with Italian third-division side Ravenna to try and score "a 300th goal". The 46-year-old, who won the World Cup in 2002 and the Ballon d'Or in 2005, ended a glittering career when he played his last official match in September 2015 with Brazilian club Fluminense.

Show HN: Kitten PM – A product management SIM game inspired by Lemmingshttps://kittenpm.com/I made a silly product management sim inspired by Lemmings. Except the lemmings are kittens, and the kittens are your customers.The game is based around a 30-day subscription loop, and the core idea is to make the cause & effect of trade-offs in product management visible and playable.I’ve worked in product for many years, and wanted to see if there was an interactive way to share my experiences with people who have an interest in making product. Learning by doing, rather than reading a book. Hopefully it’s fun too.// Built with React, TypeScript & Phaser. The sim engine is pure TypeScript / maths, and the game draws from its state. I’m a PM, so used a standard-ish product workflow, & Claude as my engineering team.Right now it’s desktop only, as I want to validate the idea before spending even more time on this and adding even more complexity.So honest question (& brutal honesty welcome):Does the concept work? Is it educational / useful / fun? & yes I get it’s a bit bonkers, but is it

Show HN: Astronomy Buddy–what's worth pointing a telescope at tonighthttps://astronomy-buddy.com/I wanted a simple dashboard for my TRMNL display in my entryway that told me whether it was worth taking my telescope out that night, which I ended up extending into a web + iOS app if anyone else finds it useful.All the apps talk to my own endpoint that consumes AstronomyAPI (current celestial body positions in our solar system), 7Timer! (cloud cover, seeing, transparency), and Open-Meteo (air quality), compares to your current location/elevation/equipment, and determines both a verdict on whether it's worth stargazing tonight and what to look at if you do go out. All the logic/strings to display are contained in my API so I can adjust if needed without re-deploying the separate front ends.Hope someone else finds it handy!

Show HN: Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AIhttps://www.danielvaughn.dev/posts/huzzah/Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah.I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself.I'd like to go back to writing code, but I don't want to go all the way back to fully manual coding. So I've come up with this interaction paradigm where you: 1. write pseudocode in whatever way makes the most sense to you 2. on save, the editor synchronizes your work to real source code 3. the pseudocode is persisted alongside the generated code, making your prompt effectively a stored record of intent. It may not work for every use case, but in my initial playthroughs I've found it very enjoyable.Right now it's just a proof of

Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing with porting games and desktop environments and even compiling runnable programs within Kandelo.Yet it feels like there are many possibilities we haven't considered.How would you like to use something like this?Demos:Some notes: The demos have been tested in desktop browsers.

Show HN: Language Audio Trainer – Learn languages without looking at the screenhttps://playling.netlify.app/I recently built a language learning app with a slightly different approach. I deliberately didn't want it to be another Duolingo-like app.I think users should be able to choose what they want to learn and when.The main idea behind Language Audio Trainer is that you can simply press Play and listen to useful phrases in the background with the screen off — while walking, driving, cooking, etc. You can skip or repeat phrases, change the speech speed and number of repetitions, and choose the translation direction.There is also a flashcard mode for when you want to study more actively.I'd be interested to hear what you think about this approach to language learning.iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/playling-language-trainer/id67619...
