AQR Website Respect Usershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49293500I found that some websites respect me. I had my browser setting "send do-not-track", and today when I get on AQR, I saw "...accepted" on the bottom left corner. I didn't know what it meant at first, but then realized that it was my settings. This is the first and the only website I found that has a tip, telling me that I am not tracked. (Though I don't know whether I am tracked, it's still a positive response.)Aug 14, 2026 12:42 AM

Ask HN: What do you use for budgeting in the business?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49293175My wife and I use one app for personal and she now uses it for her business. I'm incubating a business and using that personal budgeting app is plenty for now, from the family perspective, it's basically a hobby.But we're going to build some app store apps that need excellent UI/UX before user #1 sees them. So we're going to do a raise and I'm guessing a personal budeting app isn't going to give the me insights I need into the transactions of a payment platform, integrate with a payroll platform, HR, benefits, etc, the information I will need to give me retrospective insights so I can steer the ship as we go. I anticipate having some enterprise customers and some individual subscribers, with mostly R&D spend for the first several quarters. But I want to plan on the assumption it will get complicated.Obviously, if I have net positive cash flow, and 200% annual growth, then budgets are a lot easier. But I want to assume that's not the case.What do y'all use?Aug 13, 2026 11:51 PM

Show HN: Hearth – a shared family workspace where an agent can build appshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49292004Hi HN — I built Hearth for my family: https://ourhearth.aiHearth is a shared workspace for a household. We use it for plans, notes, schedules, people, and recurring family rituals, with an AI agent that can work across that context. Kind of like a shared Obsidian with an agent.The cool part is that the agent can also build apps on top of the family's notes and run them inside the same workspace. We have a calendar and a travel app, for instance, and all the apps I use to manage my company's operations are in another Hearth.Hearth is built on Playground, a library we're developing for building collaborative AI coding harnesses. The common primitives are synchronized files, agents, people, app code sandboxing, and a policy layer. Hearth is the family-scale example; we're building Bear for construction projects using the same library.Hearth is beta software! We designed it with isolation and least-privilege in mind, but I recommend that you don't put anything too sensitive in there until Aug 13, 2026 9:18 PM

Show HN: Snippety.app – macOS snippet manager I've been building for 6 yearshttps://snippety.appSnippety is my most important project - an advanced, 100% native text expander for Mac and iPhone.I originally started building it for myself, but over time I decided to make it useful for others too. I've really enjoyed working on this app, and in March I quit my job to take some time to rest and focus more on Snippety.Since then, I've added a lot of features, including a compact interface, conditional blocks, a CLI, and more.I've created and maintained this app from top to bottom all by myself :).Snippety is free to try, and I also offer a one-time purchase with lifetime updates. It's probably not the best business model for me, but I really dislike how everything has become subscription-based, so this is my small way of fighting that trend. :)Aug 13, 2026 8:12 PM

Ask HN: What's slop? what's AI written text and why read/not read?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49289341Question, I check HN often, and noticed the trend towards "it's obvious that was written by AI so I didn't read it", or couldn't handle it, or hate the way the prose it's written.And a similar behavior towards AI generated code, also mirrored by multiple AI policies around AI submitted patches/PRs.Now question, say you have an idea about x product, or y improvement as a patch to a OSS, or whatever where AI can help you, then youa) outsource to this team of people, local to you, same language, you can go and say hi to the person working on it, then don't review the output and put on github b) team is in your country, more difficult to go say hi, but you don't review the output and put on github c) same but the team is in another country d) same but the work is done by a contractor of a contractor, again you don't review and put it on github e) ask it to the free chatgpt version, don't review, post to github f) ask it to haiku on your 20$ claude account, don't review, post it to github gAug 13, 2026 5:37 PM
