Show HN: envapt, typed env config for decoupled TS codebases (Node to edge)https://github.com/materwelonDhruv/envaptHi HN. I'm Dhruv and I've been working on envapt for about a year now and I've FINALLY completed the roadmap I scope creeped and QA'd over the past few months. It reads environment config in TypeScript and returns the typed value instead of string | undefined, from whatever source you bind. It runs on Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, the browser, and well, anywhere.Most typed-env libraries have you declare every variable in one central schema and read the result from one object. That works well for a single application. Mostly. That didn't work for me because in a framework or a monorepo, decoupled packages each read their own config values, and sharing one config object across every package just doesn't make sense to me, plus some other nits.envapt does the opposite. You bind a source once at startup, and on Node/Deno/Bun it binds your .env files and process.env for you, with cascading profiles per environment. After that, ANY typed read in ANY file uses that source, and each valuJul 8, 2026 4:14 PM

Show HN: Fast, native Mac file manager (filters, fuzzy find, 9 MB, no Electron)https://whimfiles.comMy Downloads folder had been left unkept for a really long time and cleaning it up using Finder was quite cumbersome. So I started creating a simple app to help me filter out and delete or move the files in the folder.It started out very basic and the filtering options genuinely helped me clean out the Downloads folder, then as I thought of more features I would like to see in a file manager I started to add them. Some of the features are:- Fuzzy go to folder/file where you only need to write a few letters of a full path, get suggestions and can jump to the correct path instantly - Hover over a file to preview an image or PDF without opening it - Dual-pane view and tabs that remember selected filters - Command palette to find actions fast - Batch rename (with regex support and presets for common operations), image conversion (HEIC/WebP/AVIF to JPG/PNG), zip creation - Bookmarks, Quick Look, single-click open, keyboard controlAnd many other small quality of life features.I used Claude CJul 7, 2026 8:12 AM

Show HN: PAI, a Linux-y personal-assistant for Machttps://www.whitematterlabs.ai/Hi HN!I've been spending the past month on PAI, a Linux-esque harness for a personal assistant AI for your Mac. Instead of giving a chatbot a bunch of tools, I wanted to just drop the LLM into a terminal and see how it'd fare.I've been using it to manage my calendar, 5+ email accounts, and engaging with / responding to people in a timely manner (casus belli for this entire project).After seeing how other always-on assistants were designed, I thought the Unix / Linux philosophy of system design could be applied to AI harnesses, and I wanted to experiment with how it'd hold up compared to them. So, I built PAI with the following things in mind:1. Engaging "code mode" in the LLM (LLMs are natural SDEs / SysAdmins) - If you remember the [code mode](https://blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode/) post from a while ago, I wanted to try and utilize those capabilities within the model for it to naturally interface with the harness rather than trying to load it up with a bunch of exposition.

We're building Playground, an open-source sandbox that lets your non-technical teams prototype directly on production codebases, without bugging you (developers) to spin up and maintain another repo.The repo is here: https://github.com/B1u3B01t/design-playground.We've been working together for six years. Last year we built an AI design agent because we thought designers were the biggest bottleneck. But we were wrong.After talking to teams, we realised designers, PMs, founders and even sales people all wanted to quickly change and explore flows for their users, that looked and behaved like the real app.But devs don't trust non-technical teams to work on production and not fuck up the code. Agree. So the other way is setting up another mock repo.And that defeats the point. It adds maintenance cost of keeping both in sync. This is what happened when both of us were working together too. So we built an open-source Playground.It has all the features out of the box: sJul 1, 2026 5:35 PM

Show HN: Gotaper – A minimalist, journal-inspired race planner for athleteshttps://gotaper.app/Lately I've been planning on running my first 100 miler and been struggling with organizing everything around the race. Been back and forth between google docs, notes, spreadsheets and AI agents. So in the middle of that, and a long run, though about creating a kind of journaling app for taking notes about the race and everything about it and it got interesting. So here is the first kind of working version. I would love some brutally honest feedback: - What do you think? - What is the clunkiest part of your current race-week planning workflow? - Does the journal-style layout give you more data control than just a spreadsheet? - What feature would make you actually drop your current setup for this?Jun 28, 2026 8:18 PM

Ask HN: What surprised you about Estonia e-Residency and running an Estonian OÜ?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48673801From the official information online, joining the e-Residency program and setting up an Estonian company seems relatively straightforward.I'm considering using an Estonian OÜ for a SaaS business and would love to hear from people who have actually gone through the process.What surprised you after becoming an e-resident and establishing your company? Were there recurring costs, compliance requirements, banking/payment issues, tax complications, or other operational challenges you didn't anticipate?How easy has it been to run the company remotely? Have you ever needed to travel to Estonia to resolve an issue?Looking back, would you do it again? What do you wish you had known before getting started?I'd appreciate any lessons learned, gotchas, or advice from current or former e-residents.Jun 25, 2026 2:17 PM

Show HN: Sipp – Run small local LLMs in browser 3x fasterhttps://www.sipp.shHi HN! Sipp is an open-source AI inference library for running local models in browsers with up to 3x faster decode speeds than alternative libraries.My background is in HCI (human-computer interaction) and graphics programming. Me along with my co-founder have been experimenting and thinking a lot about what the next user experience will look like when tokens are commodified to the point of being essentially “free.” A motivation for us was to try to move beyond the chat app and information retrieval use cases that are dominant now, and figure out how AI could instead act as a continuous and silent hand that helps the user indirectly, subtly monitoring their intent and dynamically generating or shifting the UI to meet their needs.In our explorations, we ran into two pain points: 1) when running AI in the browser, performance wasn’t good enough for real-time applications, and model loading and caching were issues; 2) when trying to run locally on desktop, there weren’t any good solutionJun 24, 2026 2:52 PM

Show HN: Jacobi–IDE for Abaqus subroutine with analytical tests and AI diagnosishttps://jacobee.netlify.app/I write Abaqus UMAT subroutines as a graduate student in computational mechanics. These are complex multi-physics simulation models using Abaqus Fortran subroutines (UMAT ~ mechanical behavior, UMATHT ~ heat/diffusion and a lot more) that simulate how different material systems fail under high temperature or manufacturing processes.However, the entire process has been quite challenging, 80-90% of time is actually spent on how make Abaqus CAE simulate a physics you already know on paper or what are the correct subroutines and variables you should use. Huge time is also spent on diving deep into the .sta .msg files to figure out and debug why a simulation failed. The software or current tooling (IDE ~ which is VS Code etc built for software engineering, not computational physics or mechanics) doesn't tell you why the simulation run into a segmentation error, or warn you when your damage variable being 1 (fully damaged) will lead to a zero division error.

The internet is on life supporthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48587869I am wondering what is going to happen to the internet when you can no longer navigate it with a Google Search? Its just astounding what OpenAI and Anthropic have accomplished, and I reminisce. I remember in 2004, how much better Google performed versus Alta Vista for finding sources for term papers and essays. Later, I learned that they achieved this by converting all the content on the internet to vectors, a process we would now call tokenization. I learned that they created the first stable search solution by inventing the scalable advertising business model using state of the art economics invented by Hal Varian. I was "Google native", Google was incredible.Google Search was the internet. I've used it to find almost everything: jobs, houses, cars, schools for me, schools for my kids. It has been the dominant way to find information on the web since the mid 2000s. In 2023, within 6 months of the release of ChatGPT, I had reduced my usage of Google by 50%.
