Launch HN: ProvenMetal (YC S26) delivers circuit boards in days instead of weekshttps://provenmetal.comHey HN, we’re Will & Johnny from ProvenMetal (https://provenmetal.com). You send us design files or specs and we give you assembled boards domestically in days.The US produced 30% of PCBs globally in 2000, now they produce 4%. Chinese manufacturers have completely dominated this space at 55% of global production.Now, the need for a domestic PCB supply chain is higher than ever before, yet the infrastructure has been dissolving over the last 2 decades. What is left is mostly small family run manufacturers (CMs) that have been operating in largely the same, labor intensive way since the early 2000’s.When you place an order through a CM it typically takes several days to receive a quote and complete design for manufacture review, and then you have to source all of the components (the hardest part) and bare boards yourself, then wait anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the assembly and testing of those boards.We started off assembling circuit boards out of a garage with prosumer Aug 6, 2026 3:59 PM

Show HN: Skyline Co-op is like SimTower, but built around democratic socialismhttps://intergalacticrobots.app/skyline-coop/I've been rebuilding old games with Claude. While creating a modern take on SimTower and having election news on TV in the background, I had the idea to build the economy of the game around democratic socialism instead of capitalism.Instead of a real estate tycoon, you are an elected steward of the building, held responsible by the Assembly. Homes are allocated off a waitlist, dues are set on a sliding scale, and you face outside pressures from neighboring capitalist landlords.The crown jewel is attracting a large grant to establish an observatory at the top of your tower, attracting scientists. To get there, you must make sure the people are fed, housed, healthy, and entertained. If the Assembly doesn't have confidence in your abilities, you get voted out.It kinda works, and the potential failures in the game are pretty unique. I'd be interested to hear HN's take. An entire SimCity clone based on a different economy like this could be fun.Aug 6, 2026 11:37 AM

Show HN: I was wrong about scrollytelling landing pageshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49185678My position for years: minimal static landing page, one clear offer, optimised for conversion. Everything else is designers entertaining themselves. Then the “built this 3D scrolling page with Fable in 5 minutes” posts started going around and my customers began asking for that. I pushed back, lost the argument, and built a few.Two things surprised me.First, the viral demos don’t survive contact with a client. I tested so many circulating prompt/skill setups. One-shot output looks great; changing anything afterwards is brutal... The demos are impressive because nobody in the thread ever has to revise them.Second, and worse for me: dwell time and conversion on the pages I built came out ahead of the minimal pages I’d have argued for. Small sample, and I’d like someone to tell me why it’s noise.So I built the thing that fixes the first problem: prebuilt interactive widgets that stay editable instead of a generated blob you re-prompt. https://scrollytelling.ai my own landing page is now bAug 5, 2026 5:05 PM

Show HN: AppScout – App Store downloads, revenue and widgetshttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/appscout-app-metrics/id6770866569Hey hackers!Signing in to App Store Connect just to check downloads or MRR is a friction. I wanted a simpler way. Ideally, just to look at a widget on my iPhone. There are some apps, but the design and implementation made me think here's a gap that I can potentially fill it with a new polished product. So I've built this app.It took me several months to start beta testing. But then I got feedback from users that they don't really want to share their App Store key credentials with a third-party app that uses a backend and collects data. So, I spent one more month pivoting to a private app by dropping a backend and storing credentials on a user's device in a keychain. So, now the app directly talks to Apple's API and there's no account registration. You add a team key - the app fetches data. App also uses background tasks to fetch most recent data so you don't need to open it every day to keep the data fresh. And as a final point - I added widgets to both home and lock screens.Please letAug 5, 2026 4:09 PM

Ask HN: How do you correct spatial reasoning of LLMs?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49181570I'm working on a complex multi-part 3D-printed product, and I needed some engineering input from LLMs. I use highest Gemini Pro reasoning levels, Fable, and K3 Max with everything tuned to highest.The problem I'm facing is mounting a sensor on a barbell sleeve. The sensor is a semi-hollow 100mm cylinder, 60mm diameter, with a 50mm diameter 50mm deep tube cutout for the sleeve. (It's a bit more complex than that.)I'm trying to brainstorm different clamping mechanisms, and evaluate durability and manufacturability of several designs.No matter what I try, the output of all LLMs is absolutely wild, especially if you ask to make a technical drawing. Anthropic reliably been the worst, and Gemini, surprisingly, the best.But none understand what goes where in any detail, besides spewing paragraph and paragraph of wild ideas including rotational cam clamps over a recessed ring TPU collet (apparently, a "brilliant pivot") and stuff like this.Is this the "unconquered frontier"?
