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 Aug 21, 2026 10:37 AM

Show HN: For learners who can understand English but freeze when speakinghttps://nattly.mathswariz.uk/Many intermediate learners can understand native English seamlessly, but freeze or revert to clunky, direct translations when forced to speak. Flashcards teach you to recognize words on a screen; they don't teach your brain to produce natural phrases under conversational pressure.To bridge the gao between language recognition and production I have rebuilt Nattly around a four-step loop:Meaning → Attempt → Native Alternatives → ReuseHow it works in practice:Instead of testing vocabulary isolation (“What does held up mean?”), Nattly puts you in a scenario:The Situation: Your friend asks: why you were late?Your Attempt: You answer using whatever words come to mind first.Native Alternatives: The app exposes natural ways a native British speaker would express that exact thought:"The bus held me up.""I got held up by the bus.""The bus was running late."Contextual Reuse: Those constructions reappear later in fresh, non-repetitive scenarios where they make sense contextually.https://nattly.matAug 21, 2026 10:37 AM

Show HN: Can you tell Wodehouse from a model imitating Wodehouse?https://voxoria.ai/ai-or-not-text/Every spot-the-AI game I've seen uses modern text as its control, so it's hard to prove it wasn't entirely written by AI.The human paragraphs here are verbatim from public domain works published between 1660 and 1922 (Pepys, Gilbert White, Twain, Jerome, the Grossmiths, Wodehouse), so they predate the clankers by a century; the other half is Opus 5 continuing in the same voice. There are 10 rounds, I managed to get a ~60% win rate.Aug 21, 2026 9:00 AM

Show HN: I built an open source video editor that you can control with an LLMhttps://github.com/DonkeyCut/DonkeyHey HN, my name is David. I'm building an open source video editor.I'm a novice at video editing and previously only used iMovie. I recently opened iMovie to edit a video but noticed it didn't have some features I wanted, like text overlays. Apple probably hasn't updated it in ages. How hard could it be to build one?It's actually pretty hard. There are so many basic things that need to get right, like behavior in the timeline, drag and drop, coloring, etc. Good thing there are LLMs. I was able to put out a simple version in 3 days and have continued to refine it ever since.The idea is that it's focused on novice to intermediate video editors. I find modern video editors to be very overwhelming, with lots of features and controls. It's needed because video editing is a creative tool, and not everything can be built into one. So I turned every button, toggle, and slider into a tool that's accessible to an LLM. A user just needs to tell an LLM what to do, and it has access to tools that cAug 21, 2026 5:19 AM

Ask HN: Has Microsoft forgotten how to test software?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49383954This is a serious question.I've an older Mac with some critical apps that runs a slightly obsolete macOS. This OS version is no longer supported by Edge and Chrome 151+.This did not stop Edge from auto-updating to a known incompatible version and bricking itself.One minute I had the browser open; the next, the icon was overlayed with the Ghostbusters symbol and could do nothing but display a dialog explaining that my OS is unsupported.A fluke once perhaps, but this is the third time this has happened to me with various MS apps bricking themselves.I'm officially done with Microsoft products. This isn't some annoying bug; this is suddenly and abruptly locking me out of my own computer.Aug 21, 2026 4:55 AM

Receive calls only from saved contactshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49383219Hello folks, I built an app to block calls from non saved contacts, it works for Android.I live in Brazil, and at least here the situation with spam and bot calls is pretty bad, some days you can get calls from unknown numbers constantly.If someone wants to talk to me, they can usually reach me asynchronously (email or whatsapp) and I answer when I can/want. If it’s urgent, the people I care about enough to receive an immediate phone call from are generally already saved in my contacts.So Fone1 does one thing: when enabled, it blocks calls from numbers that aren’t saved in your contacts.I know this usage pattern definitely isn’t for everyone, but if you feel similarly, I’d love for you to try it and share feedback.It’s free and has no ads.If you are an Android user and wants to test, just send me your email so I can add you to list of testers.Aug 21, 2026 3:01 AM
