Show HN: Get dopamine from real action instead of doomscrollinghttps://quest.visionary-path.com/Hi everyone!This is my first project, so I want to make sure I avoid rookie mistakes in it. Guidelines told me to avoid llm creating this message, so please, accept my apologies for the grammar in advance.In short, this is an app to unstuck overwhelmed mind and make it get dopamine with something useful instead of reels scrolling.Choose a category based on your current interest and environment. Choose difficulty level - it is not about completion time, but mostly how uncomfortable for me to do the task. Easy - normal tasks (wash the mug), legendary - I would die to do it without an app (talk to a stranger about zombie apocalypse).In “not so short”:The idea popped up from my own struggle: I never been diagnosed with adhd, but my brain is flooded with thoughts and tasks majority of time. Prioritization systems somewhat help but I give up on them and also have a hyper focus superpower that compensates it and I am fine with that. So the issue is not in “Not doing anything” - the real problMay 14, 2026 1:53 PM

Show HN: Sinain captures screen and audio in KG, shares it with agents/peershttps://anthillnet.github.io/sinain-hud/Sinain is an open source tool allowing you to capture screen and audio context into a local knowledge graph (optionally could be build utilizing only local models) which you can share with your agents (via MCP) or other users (peer-to-peer).Over the last months both my fleet of agents grew rapidly and I was getting more and more context from different sources, including videos, calls, chats. Feeding the inbound context into agents became more and more time-consuming, so together with my team we've built a tool to gather the context live and store it in an accessible manner for both humans and agents - so we can stop copy pasting things to the terminal.A summary of what is ready: - For now MacOS only, other platforms support is in development - Knowledge graph accessible via MCP, web UI, and is shareable - Current benchmark is 82.8% IPR on LongMemEval (ICLR 2025) - HUD overlay - ambient agent wrapper advising on your context, plugs in CC, Codex, Goose, Junie - Default mode needs an OpenMay 13, 2026 9:01 PM

Show HN: Neural window manager, neural network moving windows from mouse actionshttps://lusob.github.io/neural-os/I'd been mulling over this crazy idea for a while. Can programs be generated? Inspired by recent advances in world models, I wondered if we could do away with source code and generate pixels directly and interactively.As an experiment to answer this, I set out to create a neural window manager, training a neural network to predict what the screen would look like next.Basically, the idea was to generate the next frame based on the last two frames and the mouse position. That's it: moving windows without programming an event system, just a simple convolutional neural network guessing pixels.To implement the experiment, I used Pygame to simulate a turquoise desktop background, a gray window with a navy blue title bar, a white cursor, and four colors in total. Then, a bot randomly dragged the window, and I recorded everything, processing the frames as color index matrices (not RGB, to avoid complications) and the mouse delta (dx, dy, click) that caused each transition. 8000 frames, a few mMay 13, 2026 5:46 PM

Show HN: An open source tool for generating macOS app icons with AIhttps://github.com/TeamDev-IP/MoBrowser-App-Icon-MakerI’m Vladimir. I’m a software engineer. In our company we often develop desktop apps for internal needs and prototyping. And every time I bump into the same problem: how do I make an icon for the macOS app I have just built?I could use the existing icon generators, but they are basically just image converters. You upload an existing image, and the tool generates the required icon sizes and formats from it.But I don’t have an image, and I’m not a designer. Asking designers to create an icon is not always an option.I wanted something that could help me actually create an icon. Something where I can describe an idea, iterate on it over several rounds, experiment with materials, lighting, composition, and gradually arrive at an icon that feels like a real native macOS app icon.Since I’m an engineer, I built a small tool that allows generating a macOS app icon using AI. It’s completely free and open source, so other engineers building desktop apps for macOS can use it too.The app lets you geMay 13, 2026 1:03 PM

What is your AI agent constantly doing wrong?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48120148My colleague and I have found AI is consistently falling short on the following things. I'd be interested to know whether this is a prompting issue or a model issue (we use claude 4.7):- comments being too verbose, and making reference to the previous code. Also just using phrases that no human would ever use (e.g. saying 'gate', 'belt-and-braces' a lot)- over-using default arguments in method definitions- failing to see the bigger picture in terms of DRYness, code organisation- way too much defensive coding like handling edge cases that would never happen, adding fallbacks for everythingMay 13, 2026 10:36 AM

Show HN: Embedded Spritesheet PNG Standardhttps://mccormick.cx/games/embedded-spritesheet-png-spec/Hi HN!2d spritesheets for game development are often distributed as a PNG image, sometimes with a separate JSON or XML metadata document describing the layout, including any animation sequences within the sheet. Sometimes there is no metadata document and you have to work it out and manually write custom code to chop up the spritesheet and reference the sprites you want.I think it would be good if it became standard practice to distribute spritesheet PNGs with the metadata inline inside a PNG "chunk" so the whole thing is self-contained. That way artists can just distribute one file, and tools and libraries can read the metadata directly from it. That's what this spec/standard is about.The linked page proposes a standard, describes the technique's details, and provides an online tool for inlining metadata into the sheet. Hope it's useful!May 13, 2026 9:04 AM

Show HN: Display.dev, agent-native way to publish HTML or MD behind company authhttps://display.dev/Last week's post from Thariq "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" went viral in X. He made a good point about HTML being the more expressive and human friendly alternative to markdown files. I completely buy in where he's coming from, I've been asking Claude Code to create me HTML files to better understand what we're planning and building together.What Thariq didn't address was the part of sharing and collaborating on these HTML artifacts (he proposed uploading to S3). While I've been heavy user of HTML artifacts to share quarterly plans, implementation specs, technical guides and more, it has been a challenge of sharing them with my teammates securely. Not all people in the company have GitHub access to see the markdown file. Slack and Google Drive don't render HTML.There's been no good solution today on the market, until now, which gives you tools for your agent to publish the HTML and MD files, gate the artifacts behind company SSO or OTP and collaborate with your teammates on May 12, 2026 11:36 PM
