IMAGEShow HN: Open Session, the open-source cloud agent-orchestratorOpen Session is an open-source cloud-based agent orchestrator. Self-host and use it with any model you like (or all of them).Open Session started as an internal app at Tella (YC S20). It’s become our most important tool. The whole team uses it, and not just for product development. It’s also great for customer support, operations, and data analysis.In the last couple months we turned it into something that other teams might want to use and adapt.When we started working on it earlier this year, our main frustrations with existing tools were (1) the lack of adaptability, (2) lack of good cloud-based workflows, (3) price (e.g. on Devin you couldn’t use your existing Claude sub). Open Session solves all three of these things for us:It’s open-source, so you can do what you want with it. But it also has extensibility built into the product. You can connect MCPs, skills, integrations, sandbox providers and more. Our team relies heavily on its Slack, Plain and GitHub integrations.It’s designed

IMAGELaunch HN: Unlayer (YC W22) – Add email and document builders to your appHi HN, We’re Adeel and Umair, co-founders of Unlayer (https://unlayer.com/). We let you add content creation to your applications without having to build an entire editor, renderer, template, and export stack yourself. Unlayer lets you create emails, web pages, and documents inside your app, in three different ways: in code, visually, or with AI.Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HsDtNkdMpM.We started with an embeddable email editor because a lot of products eventually need one: CRMs, marketing tools, customer engagement platforms, marketplaces, internal tools, and vertical SaaS apps all run into this at some point. At first, it sounds like a small feature: "just" add a drag and drop editor. In practice, it turns into a big pain. You end up dealing with email rendering, Outlook quirks, responsive layouts, templates, merge tags, image uploads, exports, permissions, localization, versioning, and a long tail of edge cases that have nothing to do with your core productOver tim

IMAGEShow HN: How to analyze your LLM output – A behavioural health monitor for LLMsHey HN! We're Dr. Kashyap Thimmaraju and Giuseppe Canale from Silicon Psyche. We've built Posture Sequence Analysis (PSA), a behavioural health monitor for LLMs and AI Agents.Why we built PSAWe built PSA because we wanted to operationalize the Cybersecurity Psychology Framework (CPF3)[1] via Silicon Psyche[2]: our theory that because LLMs have been trained by humans on human-generated data, they inherit human-like vulnerabilities (what hackers use to psychologically trick people into doing things).Our initial attempt resulted in a methodology to jailbreak Opus 4.6 and other frontier models. Anthropic even deleted some of those conversations and then blocked our approach!We had three major insights from that experience: 1. we pivoted from merely exploiting (Red Teaming) the model to analyzing the behaviour of the model and the user because the attack surface is undefined. 2. we realized that what we had built was the precursor to measuring the "state" of the model. 3. we did not want to
IMAGEShow HN: Haystack – Review the PRs that need human attentionHey HN! We're building Haystack (https://haystackeditor.com/) to help teams deal with the explosion in the number of pull requests that need to be reviewed due to the rise of coding agents.Haystack replaces the GitHub PR review system with a queue that triages each PR before a human has to read any diffs. It looks at the diffs, the codebase, and the coding-agent conversation that produced the PR. Haystack then routes it into one of three buckets:1. Safe to merge. This means the PR has enough evidence behind it that the team can merge it without another human's review.Some examples:-- A small UI copy change that includes a screenshot showing the final state-- A backend change where the author clearly tested the important paths and ran the changes in a real environment2. Needs fixes. This means that the PR has bugs or violates a rule in your codebase and therefore the PR needs to be fixed by the author.Some examples:-- The agent was asked to make loading a large table faster by adding pa
IMAGEShow HN: GridTravel – A community based travel app for users to share routesHey HN,My co-founders and I have been building GridTravel, a free iOS app for planning and sharing travel routes with turn-by-turn GPS nav. We just launched yesterday after App Store approval.We're three 21-year-old cofounders and best friends since middle school. We built GridTravel after years of frustration navigating new cities on every trip we took together.The idea: most people either search Google for "top 10 places to visit in…" lists or go on social media to get inspiration on where to go. GridTravel is built around user-generated routes — actual paths someone walked, that you can follow, save, download, and discover from other travelers. Users also have the ability to create private routes and collaborate with their friends.Tech stack: Mapbox (Nav SDK + maps), Supabase (auth, DB, storage), and Swift. Native iOS for now, Android coming soon.Our two real cost drivers are Mapbox Search (hit when users create routes) and Mapbox Navigation (hit when users use live navigation). Bot

IMAGEShow HN: Why'd I pick 48 hours? A genuine approach to global connectionHi there, I'm Frederick. Today I set out to achieve a goal, and this would be one of the most authentic HN posts I've ever written (without the help of AI).I've lived off the internet my entire life. I created my first Facebook account when i was 8 years because I had a Samsung Keypad phone (similar to blackberry) which allowed me to access it. Home was boring and I was an only child then (well my younger brother had just been born so I just didn't count). Facebook was so fun then, I could actually remember connecting with a few well known celebrities in my country and it's hard to make anyone believe that but it's all in the past.Fast forward i've grown and evolved and even though i've had some great and awesome friends in real life, the internet helped transcend borders. Being able to speak to someone a 100 miles away from me is the kind of technology i'll forever cherish (i doubt i would've had the patience to live through the pigeon era).Fast forward, three years ago I met my mento

IMAGEShow HN: Mochia, a virtual pet browser game, built with Rust, SolidJS, PostgresAround three years ago, I was reminiscing about how much I loved playing Neopets as a kid. Meanwhile, I was also looking for a project to better learn Rust and SolidJS. So.. I figured making my own virtual pet browser game would be a fun way to practice! Since then, I’ve been working on it nearly every day, and.. it’s grown quite a bit! Here are some bulleted lists for your convenience:Technical Details: * Backend monolithic Rust server runs on a single $5/month VPS * Lean frontend with just 3 dependencies (SolidJS, Solid Router, and Mutative) * Around 130,000 combined lines of code (frontend + backend) * Rust server uses axum, sqlx, tokio, rand, strum, tungstenite (websockets) * No server crashes or data loss in 3 years (thank you Rust + Postgres!) * Almost all graphics (500+ assets) are SVGs for perfect detail at every zoom level * Fully mobile responsive and playable on all modern browsers and devices * Actor model for player actions enables trivial parallel, multi-core scaling * Si
