Show HN: Infinitely nestable visual task organizer and workload simulatorhttps://projectzen.com/homeI built ProjectZen because ordinary task managers often show what needs doing, but not whether the accumulated workload is realistic.The homepage includes a working demo, no login required. I’d especially value feedback on whether the workload view makes sense without explanation and whether it would change how you plan a real project.This project is personally interesting to me because, as a product manager for many years, I never found a tool with the usability and visual workload simulation I knew was possible. Without the latter, I felt disoriented and more helpless when it came to being pressured into scope creep. ProjectZen was created as a side project using Angular, Django, Google App Engine, Google Cloud SQL, and Firebase Authentication.The tool includes Infinite nesting for breaking down projects and tasks (inspired by tools like Workflowy and Dynalist) Displaying items in kanban boards Visualization of tasks based on size and simulation of overall workload over time Also incAug 19, 2026 2:08 PM

Strive to Be Earth's Best Employerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49356030Content Warning: This post discusses suicide.————————————————————————————————————————————————Friday morning, August 14, 2026, I received this text from a number I didn’t recognize:“ALERT! Dear Amazonians, GREF has temporarily closed the building for today. You are welcome to work from BOS17 until further notice."I thought the text was odd but I confirmed it was legitimate and continued my day working remotely. My team had our daily standup and everything seemed quite normal, until 3:00 PM when I received this canned email from HR:“This morning we closed BOS21 following the tragic loss of one of our Amazon colleagues….” [1]What that email didn’t mention was that this colleague died by suicide. Learning that was surreal… I’ve been working professionally for over a decade and this is the first time I’ve encountered a workplace tragedy like this. I didn’t know what to expect. Later that afternoon there were many positive messages in BOS21’s Slack channel, colleagues offering an open ear anAug 19, 2026 2:49 AM

Show HN: Clinch – Local-first Warp fork built for agent session managementhttps://clinch.sh/Warp was my daily driver for years, and I still love the core product. But I wanted more privacy, less Oz agent stuff and a better UX experience for managing all my Claude Code/Codex sessions, especially across the repos I'm working on at once.So I forked Warp, gutted all the telemetry, account requirements, Oz agent stuff and have fine tuned the UX over the months to optimize it for session management. The awesome Warp terminal is still first class (auto complete, auto command suggestion etc) but with lots of QoL improvements for agent session management and organization.Some notable features:* Claude Code and Codex sessions auto resume with the correct flags if you ever quit/restart Clinch -- this is a huge issue in Warp for me and always prevented me from updating to the latest version of Warp.* Clinch CLI + Skill so Claude and Codex can auto create new tabs for you and even auto suggest quick response buttons (see below). This is especially nice when you ask Claude to run a local wAug 18, 2026 10:31 PM
