Show HN: LettersPractice – Teach your child to read with a modified SRS enginehttps://letterspractice.com/Hi everyone. 2nd submission attempt here of a very-indie, very-passion project after a no-op first try.Backstory: ~10 years ago I started tinkering with a web based platform for experimenting around the fringes of SRS. The project had three major goals: to expand the sorts of content that SRS could address, for example doing musical exercises via midi instrument hookup; to hybridize SRS scheduling with other pedagogical protocols like prerequisite graphs, Elo ratings, procedurally tuning difficulty of specific exercises, and similar; and to permit usage-driven pedagogy discovery among competing protocols, in terms of things like learned pre-req edges, and surfacing aggregate learning bottlenecks to curriculum designers.This project stayed at hobby level. It got a fair bit of personal in-house use, but I've always itched to put a more direct, sustained focus on it.~4 years ago I found myself with a toddler.So: I started throwing phonetic exercises into our in-house learning platform.

Show HN: Remembrane – agent memory in one SQLite file, zero dependencieshttps://github.com/satyasairay/remembraneThis is a small library for giving an agent persistent memory without running any infrastructure. The whole store is one SQLite file, and the default install has no dependencies. I built it because whenever I wanted an agent to remember a handful of facts across sessions, the options were a hosted API, a vector database, or a framework, and that felt like too much for what is usually a few thousand short strings.The part I find most useful is that recall is deterministic, so you can write unit tests that assert what your agent remembers and run them in CI. I haven't seen that elsewhere and it's what I rely on most. Beyond that: it's one file you can copy, inspect, or delete, with no server or background process; every result can show its own score breakdown, so ranking isn't a black box; and every change is journaled, so you can snapshot the store and diff it later. It also exposes an MCP server, so an MCP-capable agent like Claude can use it directly, and there are LangChain and CrewA

Launch HN: ProvenMetal (YC S26) delivers circuit boards in days instead of weekshttps://provenmetal.comHey HN, we’re Will & Johnny from ProvenMetal (https://provenmetal.com). You send us design files or specs and we give you assembled boards domestically in days.The US produced 30% of PCBs globally in 2000, now they produce 4%. Chinese manufacturers have completely dominated this space at 55% of global production.Now, the need for a domestic PCB supply chain is higher than ever before, yet the infrastructure has been dissolving over the last 2 decades. What is left is mostly small family run manufacturers (CMs) that have been operating in largely the same, labor intensive way since the early 2000’s.When you place an order through a CM it typically takes several days to receive a quote and complete design for manufacture review, and then you have to source all of the components (the hardest part) and bare boards yourself, then wait anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the assembly and testing of those boards.We started off assembling circuit boards out of a garage with prosumer

Show HN: Skyline Co-op is like SimTower, but built around democratic socialismhttps://intergalacticrobots.app/skyline-coop/I've been rebuilding old games with Claude. While creating a modern take on SimTower and having election news on TV in the background, I had the idea to build the economy of the game around democratic socialism instead of capitalism.Instead of a real estate tycoon, you are an elected steward of the building, held responsible by the Assembly. Homes are allocated off a waitlist, dues are set on a sliding scale, and you face outside pressures from neighboring capitalist landlords.The crown jewel is attracting a large grant to establish an observatory at the top of your tower, attracting scientists. To get there, you must make sure the people are fed, housed, healthy, and entertained. If the Assembly doesn't have confidence in your abilities, you get voted out.It kinda works, and the potential failures in the game are pretty unique. I'd be interested to hear HN's take. An entire SimCity clone based on a different economy like this could be fun.

Show HN: I was wrong about scrollytelling landing pageshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49185678My position for years: minimal static landing page, one clear offer, optimised for conversion. Everything else is designers entertaining themselves. Then the “built this 3D scrolling page with Fable in 5 minutes” posts started going around and my customers began asking for that. I pushed back, lost the argument, and built a few.Two things surprised me.First, the viral demos don’t survive contact with a client. I tested so many circulating prompt/skill setups. One-shot output looks great; changing anything afterwards is brutal... The demos are impressive because nobody in the thread ever has to revise them.Second, and worse for me: dwell time and conversion on the pages I built came out ahead of the minimal pages I’d have argued for. Small sample, and I’d like someone to tell me why it’s noise.So I built the thing that fixes the first problem: prebuilt interactive widgets that stay editable instead of a generated blob you re-prompt. https://scrollytelling.ai my own landing page is now b

Show HN: AppScout – App Store downloads, revenue and widgetshttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/appscout-app-metrics/id6770866569Hey hackers!Signing in to App Store Connect just to check downloads or MRR is a friction. I wanted a simpler way. Ideally, just to look at a widget on my iPhone. There are some apps, but the design and implementation made me think here's a gap that I can potentially fill it with a new polished product. So I've built this app.It took me several months to start beta testing. But then I got feedback from users that they don't really want to share their App Store key credentials with a third-party app that uses a backend and collects data. So, I spent one more month pivoting to a private app by dropping a backend and storing credentials on a user's device in a keychain. So, now the app directly talks to Apple's API and there's no account registration. You add a team key - the app fetches data. App also uses background tasks to fetch most recent data so you don't need to open it every day to keep the data fresh. And as a final point - I added widgets to both home and lock screens.Please let

Show HN: SlickFast Deterministic Chart/Dash Renderer, No Browser(JSON → SVG/PNG)https://slickfast.com/SlickFast started 6 months ago, and evolved in a super backwards way. I was using lowfruits to look for good SEO keywords, I wanted to make a simple free tool to rank with SEO. I found some great keywords related to graphs/charts. I did research for optimizing for SEO. Turns out edge processing / using static HTML is super fast and lightweight, great for SEO. I made freepiechartmaker.com. I was really blown away by how fast the site was loading, and how lightweight all the processing was. The site renders changes on the fly, and is much much faster than other sites in the space. I started looking into the tech, pure math rendering, and I saw a lot of openings for what this tech can do. That's how SlickFast was made.SlickFast is a JSON input > pure javascript SVG Native render core > with PNG+SVG output. No headless chrome. No library calls. deterministic output. on my local machine(m1 max) it renders 140,000 svg charts a second. PNG @ ~50/sec at retina (scale-2) and ~145/sec at scale-1

Do You Think OpenAI Is Apple Circa the 1980s?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49178393OpenAI is a deeply mismanaged company. Most recently, a blog post that feels like it has got to have dozens of PR violations, responding to the Apple lawsuit.More broadly, OpenAI’s main problem is that it does not have a real competitive advantage. No real models do; the real differentiation is price; they will become commodities. The need to move upwards in the market in enterprise software is difficult since the current stack should remain the same, since sticking with Salesforce plus its new AI features is much simpler than the cost of switching to an AI-first startup version, which won’t be around 3 to 5 years from now. So consumer hardware and trying to become the next Apple could work, except you would likely have to focus on people not in the Apple ecosystem because of the double-sided lock-in Apple has.The opposite dynamic works in consumer and mobile, really. Apple with AI is a much worse experience than something AI-first built from the ground up. Especially considering the c

Show HN: Hyperlane – A IDE and ADE merging agent worktrees with native toolinghttps://hyperlaneide.comHi HN, my co-founder and I run Akkento, a small self-funded team building Hyperlane, an independent IDE built on the VS Code source (Code OSS), made for merging worktree-based agent development with actual IDE features.Agent orchestrators give you a worktree based workflow where several agents run in parallel, but they are not IDEs (they are not meant to be), so the moment an agent finishes you have to leave and review the diff somewhere else, actually debug the code and go through a process to sanity check it. In a commercial team, that review step isn't optional which is the problem we came across, where you have 2 editors open at the same time for the same job. IDEs are where you actually read, debug and profile the code, but none of them give you the worktree workflow. We are hoping to fix that by merging the two together in an IDE with tooling for profiling, building and testing.Try it out: https://hyperlaneide.com/Hyperlane runs on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux (x64 an

Show HN: Sagorax, a Three.js/WebGPU Arena Shooter in the Browserhttps://sagorax.com/I built Sagorax because I missed the speed and simplicity of UT99 and UT2k4. It now has both Instagib and classic weapons Deathmatch with plasma combos, flak, shotguns, charged rocket salvos, loadouts, adrenaline abilities, tactical bots and full controller support.No installation, just pick a gamertag and play: https://sagorax.comThe client is built with TypeScript, Three.js and WebGPU. Under the hood it uses FSR 3-based upscaling, adaptive dynamic resolution, GPU pipeline warmup, screen-space reflections, dynamic lighting and shadows, visibility culling and a custom post-processing pipeline.Multiplayer is next if there is enough interest (looking good so far).If you had told me a few months ago that this would be possible in a browser, I wouldn’t have believed you. But Opus 5 + GPT-5.6-Sol = GODMODE.Feedback is very welcome.
