Show HN: Compile all your competitor research in one placehttps://intel.comsync.in/Hey HN!We built SyncIntel, an internal tool we use at Comsync [https://comsync.in/] to power our other products, and we're excited to share what we've been building.We kept running into a problem while building Comsync. Our competitor research was scattered everywhere. We'd run deep research through Gemini, Claude, and other AI tools, read through lengthy documents, and then... lose track of everything. Important insights would disappear into browser tabs and forgotten Google Docs. We needed a dead-simple way to track competitors, their customers, and turn that intelligence into action. So we built SyncIntel, which was first used as an internal tool to power our other products, and now we're making it available to everyone.Competitor research shouldn't end at a PDF nobody reads again. SyncIntel takes it further. It discovers competitor customers, builds ideal customer profiles, finds matching prospects, and generates personalized outreach. All in one place, always up to date.Whether yoMar 5, 2026 9:09 AM

Show HN: FadNote – Zero-knowledge secret sharing for your CLI and AI workflowshttps://github.com/easyFloyd/fadnoteHi HN,I built FadNote because I realized that while services like Privnote or Yopass exist, they often feel like an "interruption" to a developer's flow. You have to leave your terminal, open a browser, paste, and copy again.FadNote is designed for integration, not just web-visiting. The goal is to provide a zero-knowledge "utility layer" that lives where you already work:OpenClaw Skill: For AI-powered workflow automation.CLI First: A zero-dependency Node.js script to pipe secrets directly from your terminal (echo "secret" | fadnote).Obsidian Plugin (In Dev): To share snippets directly from your knowledge base.The Security Model (Trust-less):Local Encryption: Secrets are encrypted via AES-256-GCM with 600,000 PBKDF2 iterations before they leave your machine.The URL Fragment: The decryption key is stored in the URL fragment (#key). Since browsers never send fragments to the server, I literally cannot read your data even if I wanted to.One-Time & Faded: The encrypted blob is deleted fromMar 4, 2026 8:23 PM

Show HN: FirstVibe – AI analyzes your selfie and scores your vibe in 30 secondshttps://firstvibe.app/FirstVibe is an AI selfie analyzer that gives you a "vibe check" -- a personality and impression analysis based on your photo. Upload a selfie and get an overall score, personality label, 5 category scores (attractiveness, confidence, charisma, style, approachability), celebrity lookalike, aura type, dating energy, and a set of fun predictions and personalized improvement tips.It uses Claude's Vision API to read facial expressions, body language, styling choices, and overall energy from the photo. The difference from typical face-rating apps is that it focuses on personality and vibe rather than bone structure or symmetry (though it does golden ratio and face shape analysis too). The AI analyzes things like approachability, confidence level, conversation style, and what kind of first impression you make.Technical details: Rails 8, Hotwire/Turbo for real-time result streaming, PostgreSQL with JSONB for flexible AI output storage, Solid Queue for background jobs.

Show HN: I packaged decade of video infra battle scars into tools for AI agentshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47249002Hi HN,I’m Ashu, founder of VideoDB. I’ve spent a big chunk of my life building video infrastructure. Not video creation. Video plumbing.The stuff you only learn after production breaks: timebases, VFR, keyframes, audio sync drift, container quirks, partial uploads, live streams, retries, backpressure, codecs, ffmpeg flags, cost blowups, and “why is this clip unseekable on one player but fine on another”.This week we shared VideoDB Skills, a skill pack that lets AI agents call those infra primitives directly, instead of you wiring pipelines with screenshots plus FFmpeg glue.Repo: https://github.com/video-db/skillsWhat it enables (infra level):- Ingest videos and live streams- Index and search moments- Return playable evidence links- Run server side edits and transforms- Trigger automations from video eventsWhy this matters for agents:Agents can reason, write code, browse. But continuous media is still mostly invisible. In an agentic world, perception needs to be a first class interface,Mar 4, 2026 3:34 PM

Gaia – open-source assistant that does for actions what ChatGPT did for answershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47247862Three years ago, finding information meant opening Google, clicking 4 links, reading, and piecing together an answer yourself. ChatGPT collapsed that into one step.We haven't had that moment for taking action yet. To set a recurring water reminder today, you still open your todo app, hit New Task, type it out, set a recurrence, and save. To block focus time, you open Calendar, find a slot, create an event, then update your Slack status separately. Every small action is a small tax. They add up to hours of invisible overhead every week.GAIA is our attempt at that shift. You tell it what you want done — or it acts before you have to ask.Gmail & Calendar "Summarise my unread emails and flag anything needing a reply" — runs every morning automatically.

Show HN: Spendtrace, Feature-level AWS cost attribution (found a 17× gap))https://github.com/Joshyi-Abini/SpendtraceLast year our Bedrock costs tripled in six weeks. AWS Cost Explorer told us "Amazon Bedrock: $4,200." That was the entire report. We had eight features using the model. We had no idea which one had changed. We spent two days correlating deployment timestamps with billing spikes before we found it. A caching bug in our recommendations feature was making three model calls where it should have made one. $2,800 of that bill was a single if-statement. I built spendtrace to make sure that never takes two days again. bash```bash pip install spendtrace ```python```python import spendtrace spendtrace.auto_instrument() # patches boto3, openai, anthropic at startupfrom spendtrace import cost_track@cost_track(feature="ai_recommendations") def recommend(user_id): items = dynamo.get_item(...) # captured response = bedrock.invoke_model(...) # captured return response ```That's the whole install.

Show HN: A .NET Web Framework on the Base .NET Core SDKhttps://github.com/WispFramework/WispI’ve been experimenting with building a web framework directly on top of the base .NET runtime without using the ASP.NET Web SDK.I'm calling it Wisp.The main motivation was frustration with some aspects of ASP.NET, especially the requirement to target the Web SDK instead of the base .NET SDK. That makes embedding small HTTP apps inside existing applications harder than it should be since it forces you to pollute your scope with the Web SDK.I also don't like CSHTML/Razor and wanted a more traditional templating language.Wisp is a relatively lightweight MVC framework built without any dependencies on the .NET Web SDK.Some highlights: - Runs on the base .NET SDK (no ASP.NET dependency) - Traditional MVC controllers - Dependency injection via Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection - Configuration via Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration - Templating via the Fluid engine (Liquid-compatible) It's still very alpha and definitely rough around the edges, but I've already built a few small appliMar 4, 2026 10:41 AM

And when it comes to your face, even small changes can feel like a big step.Lip Flip AI was created for one simple reason:to help you visualize subtle enhancements before making any commitment.Instead of guessing how a lip flip might look based on other people’s photos, you can now preview a realistic simulation on your own face — in seconds.No injections.No appointments.No pressure.Just clarity.---## What Is a Lip Flip, Really?A lip flip is a cosmetic procedure that uses small amounts of Botox to relax the muscle above the upper lip. When that muscle softens, the upper lip gently rolls outward, creating the appearance of slightly more fullness — especially when smiling.It does not add volume.It does not reshape the lips dramatically.It’s subtle.That subtlety is exactly why many people are curious about it — and also why it can be difficult to imagine the outcome.That’s where Lip Flip AI comes in.---##Mar 4, 2026 2:39 AM

Ask HN: How are you structuring Markdown-based context for AI coding agents?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47231386I’ve recently transitioned from using LLMs in-browser to a local agentic workflow in VS Code (Gemini Code Assist). I can approve/disapprove changes which is nice, but I’ve hit a wall regarding context management. Initially, I provided all the whole repo as context to the non-agentic version of Gemini code assist and it performed well.I read the agentic mode is "better" so to keep the agent aligned with my project's architecture, I’ve manually built 7 dense Markdown files that serve as the system instructions for the project. I require Gemini to update these files as we implement features.gemini.md (instructs gemini to read the other md files and handle updating) project_overview.md, architecture.md, features.md, database.md, api.md, security.mdEach file is between 500–1,500 words so I’m concerned if f this is the right way to go. There seems to be no consensus on context file best practices. I’m seeing strong arguments for both minimalist, lean instructions and dense, project-wide specMar 3, 2026 12:29 PM
