Show HN: My OSINT dashboard with 60+ feeds now has a pseudonymous P2P commshttps://github.com/BigBodyCobain/Shadowbroker/tree/mainSup HN,So a couple of months ago I posted my OSINT app ShadowBroker here and got WAY more attention than I expected. Some of the feedback was brutal, but honestly, a lot of it was right, and it made the project a lot better.And sure, I had a blast tracking billionaire jets and yachts or discovering GPS jamming in Ukraine was a thrill, and so was watching CCTV feeds from London, along with ships, satellites, conflict zones, etc., but eventually it dawned on me…where does my OSINT dashboard actually go from there? What good is all of the telemetry if people cannot communicate with each other about it, and it was just something that sat in my Docker container?I let the notion stew for a while, and eventually the idea of an OSINT dashboard started mutating into something more. I started thinking about utility. What usefulness could telemetry like this have? What lanes were underdeveloped in this space? Soon the angle became more clear. P2P obfuscated communication.I began to gravitate towaMay 3, 2026 2:24 PM

Show HN: A marketplace for LLM-powered webapps earning on token marginshttps://codeplusequalsai.com/dashboardHi everyone,I've encountered two major problems while building AI-powered sites: 1) Most agentic tooling doesn't have a enough of a targeted approach to edits to existing files, and will make extraneous edits, 2) Many users will want to try things casually but not spend on each LLM-powered webapp they want to use.The first problem of targeting edits was a much bigger issue previously, where, before agents, ChatGPT would just delete a chuck of code and replace it with `// existing code goes here`. Simply editing existing files was a pain. This is mostly solved now as Cursor et al. do a much better job by replacing specific lines and such. However, they still go off the rails a lot (especially gemini cli I've noticed) and make unnecessary and unwanted changes.I'm hoping to solve that by using my Abstract Syntax Tree approach: when editing a file, the LLM is actually instructed to write code that will modify the data structure backing the source text, rather than the source text itself.

Show HN: Browser-based light pollution simulator using real photometric datahttps://iesna.eu/?wasm=skyglow_demoHi HN — author here. iesna.eu is a browser-based ecosystem for working with photometric data: parsing standard luminaire files (LDT/EULUMDAT, IES LM-63, Oxytech, ATLA-S001), running design calculations against EN 13201 / ANSI/IES RP-8 / CJJ 45 / IES-IDA MLO, and (the part I most want to show off here) rendering real urban scenes in Bevy with the photometric data driving actual streetlight behavior, including sky-glow contribution. The Skyglow Analysis demo loads a real LDT file into a Bevy scene (Khronos Bistro test asset). The luminaire's intensity distribution drives the streetlight rendering directly — no fudging — and the sky-glow grade updates live as you adjust the uplight percentage. Swap to a full-cutoff fixture and the sky goes from F (Severe) back to A (Excellent). You can see the difference on the buildings as well as in the sky. Stack: Rust core (eulumdat-rs and friends, ~20 crates handling photometric formats), Bevy for the 3D rendering, WASM for browser deployment. No bacMay 2, 2026 9:08 AM

Hyperscalers are buying all the chips to then rent them to us laterhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47983138This may sound alarming, but it appears as simple math to me1. Chip price increase applies to everyone, including hyperscalers 2. I assume most of consumers refuse to pay for such ridiculous prices. 3. Hyperscalers pay the price because they expect return on investment 2. We, consumers, are actually the end-users of the chips they boughtIt appears then that Hyperscalers are outbidding us at buying chips, then will make us pay back the ridiculous price they outbid us with through renting them back to us.The way out seems simple: don't pay for AI and wait till one can afford chips for local (or federated) AI.But there's the whole b2b market that I don't know what to think aboutWhat are your thoughts?May 2, 2026 3:51 AM

Show HN: An Agent First Slack CLIhttps://github.com/tilework-tech/nori-slack-cliHey folks,My team and I have been building a background agents as a service product. One of the things we needed pretty early on was for some way for the agents to be able to drive slack.Right now, I don't think there are many good agent-first ways of doing this. I don't love MCP -- it's just too many tokens in the context window, and agents seem to do better with CLIs because they can embed them in code and so on. But other CLIs that exist are either a) subsets of the web api that only focus on human needs and b) have polished terminal UIs with spinners and colors and interactive things that make it hard for LLMs to actually use them.nori-slack-cli is a very thin dynamic wrapper over @slack/web-api (i.e. bolt). Whatever the SDK can call, the CLI can call. When slack adds a new method it should just work without a new release on our end. (Inspired by the GWS cli: https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli).So you(r agent) can do things like:`nori-slack chat.postMessage --channel C123 --texMay 1, 2026 7:05 PM

Show HN: Ramble, iOS voice notes that send webhookshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47976481Hi HN, I'm JPI wanted to automate my voice notes - pocket the phone (or watch), walk and talk, then send the transcript to my agent for processing. So I built Ramble for myself.It's a simple app. An on-ramp into your systems. Free. Open source. No accounts.Why a new app? 1) Apple Voice Memos are great, but no way to automate the result. You're also stuck with Apple's transcription (it got slightly better in iOS26 but still not the best) 2) Voice transcription in Claude / ChatGPT / messaging apps is built for short back-and-forth chat, not capturing a 10-minute walking ramble. They also don't let you record offline on Apple Watch. 3) I wanted a minimal distraction-free app to record thoughts and trust they'll be delivered. Nothing more.I've been using Ramble on my phone & watch for months. Talk-to-think became a regular habit and I started getting real value from it. I highly recommend long-form talking to voice notes as a way to process your thoughts, regardless!Some technical notes:NaMay 1, 2026 4:14 PM
