Show HN: Csift – the missing tool to sift your Claude Code sessionshttps://github.com/wdhwg001/csiftI built csift to address all my complaints about Claude's handling of its own session files. Claude Code sessions are plain-text JSONL with everything, but they never document the structure anywhere. Every time, Claude has to craft an ad hoc tool to guess, and SKILL.md isn't enough to cover everything.This is what happened in the night that made it a real tool: Claude deleted project files, froze, and said sorry at midnight. I didn't Ralph loop it, and I asked it to recover from its own JSONL and continue. I thought it would be easy, until it stopped again in the middle of rewriting them, since they're scattered across subagents, with its 5hr limit burnt out. This wasn't the first time after I used --dangerously-skip-permissions. And I created the tool that could put the file back together byte-exact.Now csift recovers deleted files and plans, reconstructs turns, matches plans to sessions, does typed search over 25 record labels, extracts pasted images, and maps the subagent topology tAug 19, 2026 3:24 AM

Show HN: Particle – Extract and save articles in a clean, self-hosted readerhttps://particle.crnst8.com/try/I've seen a few of those "Every fucking website in 202*" examples on here the last few days, and I feel it deep in my bones. As a result of the constant auto-play videos, CTAs, cookie warnings etc. etc., this is probably the most used self-developed app I run. It's super simple - just drop in the URL of the article and it'll extract (maintaining structure, formatting, pullquotes, images etc.) and save into an SQLite library if you want to come back to it later. Saves nicely as a PWA for tablet / phone reading.Aug 18, 2026 11:14 PM
