Show HN: Weekly Log, Old-school journaling social mediahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47843663Weekly Log is a minimalistic social media website designed for you to do journaling and creative writing.A lot of modern social media apps are set up in a way that addicts and detriments the users, meanwhile profiting off of their data. I really wanted to make a site that doesn't operate in that way.Some of its distinctions: - You can create one post per week. This encourages care and consideration. - Nobody knows who you follow or what posts you react to, besides you and the other user. These stats are personal, so people view your logs free of outside influence. - Posts are rich text-only, no images or videos, in an effort to reduce mental clutter. - Your feed only features users you follow, to give you increased control of what you see, unless you click the "global" checkbox to see all posts.quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CTnORsGnL8 overview page: https://www.weekly-log.com/about/overview---I have soft-launched this website, and a handful of my friends have signed up a

Getting back into photography, ditching the phone camera in 2026?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47842292I've been looking through twenty-five-odd years of my own photos. The collection includes scanned 35mm and medium format images; digital pictures from a few Canon Powershot generations and a 20D SLR; and about five iPhones.I've noticed that the non-cell-phone pictures tended to be better, and that in general I seemed to have quite a bit more fun with photos taken with, well, "real" cameras. Probably the best ones were taken with the 20D, which for its time was a really nice camera, for which I was able to bring over some lenses from my film days.I wouldn't rule out more film photography but I think of that as a somewhat separate track. I'd like to get a digital camera that captures a bit more of what I enjoyed about film photography - that high image density, looking through a physical viewfinder, not necessarily curating images in real time... looking, shooting, and moving on.I've been following Fujifilm cameras for awhile in this market, having read about them here a few years ago.

Observability Stack – AI First?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47819461So... I'm way behind. Just got into Claude this week... it's already doing most of my coding and bug fixes. Crazy stuff.Some background on my company: Mature (14 yrs) Ruby on Rails app, Sidekiq, Redis, PG, AWS lambda/eventbridge, react/preact, swift, and others. Hosted on Heroku. Very database heavy. Solo guy, owner/operator.Current stack:Datadog logging (dabbled in APM, metrics, and others, but the build pack for Heroku is so bloated I had to remove it), so now it's a simple Heroku log drain to datadog. I really miss the statsd host and APM stuff... but it took my slug size from ~250mb to over 350 and made booting and deploys much slower. I'd also like to get off Heroku.... some day... but I can't event fathom it.Bugsnag for errors. Already moved this to Sentry to try out the AI stuff.A little fed up with Datadog and receiving $600 monthly bills on top of my enterprise commitment. biggest pain points: indexing is priced per line, not by gb (discourages me from simple logging, so I res

Show HN: Co-op: Your 24/7 Digital Internhttps://app.subconscious.dev/AI is in a weird place right now. Technical people marvel over it while non-technical people don't really care.So we built Co-Op, an app specifically designed for non-technical people to run AI agents without needing a Mac Mini or laptop running 24/7. Your agents run throughout the day and complete real work across your most important apps, no code required.For me, this looks like a daily notification with my unread emails across Outlook, Gmail, and any other inbox, the weather, commute time, flight prices I'm monitoring, and the news. But it goes way beyond that. Our agents can build slideshows on Google Slides, track your finances, follow sports scores, summarize and write documents, manage your calendar, and a lot more. All running in the background without you having to constantly prompt.

Why Vibe Coding Failshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47778946i am using claude to maintain an agent loop, which will pause to ask for users' approval before important tool call. while doing some bug fixes，i have identified some clear patterns and reasons why vibe coding can fail for people who dont have technical knowledge and architecture expertise.let me describe my workflow first - this has been my workflow across hundreds of successful sessions: 1. identify bugs through dogfooding 2. ask claude code to investigate the codebase for three potential root causes. 3. paste the root causes and proposed fixes to claude project where i store all architecture doc and design decision for it to evaluate 4. discuss with claude in project to write detailed task spec - the task spec will have a specified format with all sorts of test 5. give it back to claude code to implement the fixin today's session, the root cause analysis was still great, but the proposed fixes are so bad that i really think that's how most of vibe coded project lost maintainability

Show HN: HWT (Hash Web Tokens) – minimalist protocol for auth statehttps://www.jimmont.com/hwt/My frustration solving auth with JWTs led to reinventing the wheel for more predictable token integrity and transparency, while improving flexibility. The mix of features separates concerns more cleanly than what's been available, allowing higher throughput, custom codecs, delegation to both services and domains while easing key rotation and other practicalities.The design is focused on the token as state guarantee, not creation, revocation and the range of other separate concerns and application responsibilities. The spec conventions attempts to ease development with jurisdiction/data sovereignty and authorization in the authz field. It also enables and eases delegation between services and domains without centralized service exposure. The implementation is standalone and has demos for Deno, Cloudflare, etc in https://github.com/hwt-protocolFeedback and critique of the security logic and approach appreciated.

Show HN: iOS app that continuously turns contact dates into calendar eventshttps://keepdates.appI built KeepDates after realizing I kept missing important dates that were already saved in my contacts.Birthdays are automatically handle by iOS, but everything else was just ignored. I always dutifully curated my contacts, adding different dates to each (friends' kids' birthdays, anniversaries, significant events), but always seemed to forget about them as the day approached. I tried manually adding them to my calendar, but it quickly became annoying to maintain.So, this app is just there to handle it - it runs in the background (as much as that's possible on iOS) and periodically checks for changes to the contacts, and updates a separately maintained calendar with new dates/events (or removing ones that disappeared). That way, I can be sure that when I update a contact with new date information, it will be reflected in my calendar, and I'll get alerted on time.That's it... that's the app.It also has a bunch of different toggles, customizations, notifications and widgets, if handling

Show HN: Specsight – Living product specs generated from your codebasehttps://specsight.appHeyy HN, I'm OlaI'm an engineer myself, and everywhere I've worked there was a similar dynamic: someone from the non-technical side of the team (PM, CS, stakeholders) needs to understand what changed recently or how something works today. They rely on stale Confluence pages or ping engineers in Slack and wait. engineers get interrupted daily answering "how does this actually work". it's a mess that gets worse as the team growsor when you join a new company and try to get a sense of the product. turns out the documentation doesn't exist or is months old. you ask 5 people and get 5 different answers. I've seen it and experienced it sooo many timesI decided to start exploring this space and built Specsight for those non-technical teams. it connects to your GitHub repos, analyses the codebase with Claude (Agent SDK), extracts business-level features of the product, and generates plain-language specifications in Context/Action/Outcome format for every feature. it also builds a visual graph

Show HN: Helm Terminal – Free portfolio intelligence that tells you what to dohttps://helmterminal.devHi HN,I'm the solo founder of Helm Terminal (helmterminal.dev). It's a free portfolio analytics tool that connects to your accounts via Plaid and surfaces actionable insights and intelligence. Concentration risk, tax-loss harvesting, earnings exposure, idle cash, sector drift, etc. Automatically, every day.Every other portfolio tracker/brokerage I've tried showed me balances and pie charts but never informed me what to do or what was going on. I'd check my accounts, see things were generally "fine", and move on. Then I realized I'd been sitting on thousands of dollars in unharvested tax losses, 60%+ of my portfolio was exposed to tech, and I didn't know half of my positions were reporting earnings soon.Helm is the tool I built to fix all of these issues, and a tool I wish existed. It runs on a set of intelligence engines on top of your connected accounts and gives you a prioritized inbox of things worth doing, as well as news tailored to your holdings worth looking at.

Show HN: A music player built for Steam Deck with full gamepad navigationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47675416Hi everyone, my name is Oleg. I’ve been using the Steam Deck OLED for over a year and a half, and I love it. It’s not perfect, but as a portable gaming PC it’s revolutionary in hardware and software design.I use it for gaming both portable and on my TV, sometimes connected to a NAS and even a GPU dock for heavier titles. It’s basically my main gaming machine now.One thing has always bothered me: there’s no decent audio player for Steam Deck. Yes, there are dozens of Linux music players, but they either have terrible interfaces, are overloaded, or just don’t feel right with a gamepad. Moving a mouse with the joystick works, but it’s tedious on the couch, especially when the Deck is connected to a TV. Fonts are tiny, navigation is awkward.So I decided to build my own player. I’ve been coding for personal projects for 12+ years, including two music players (for VK and Yandex Music), a movie streaming app, a terminal ChatGPT assistant, and other tools. My goal is to make a player that work
