Show HN: ponzy.io – I made a casual trading game you can play in the browser
Hey everyone, I made a small browser game where you trade against other players in a 10 minute free-for-all, player with the most cash at the end wins.<p>Here's the link: ponzy.io<p>Give it a try and let me know what you think. I'm currently actively developing the game and am looking for feedback! The most recent update I added was to give bots unique names and tendencies, instead of having them all just be the same, which is an idea I got from a fellow HN user!
Show HN: Sib - Unixy LLM Client using Git to store converastions, instead SQLite
Hi all :)The reason I like git is that the source tree snapshot and the commit structure itself are always immutable, and destructive operations are just renaming a ref file.Once you understand that, no matter how hard the CLI is to make sense of, you never hesitate to run a command. You can always get it back.LLM conversations aren't as fragile to change as a source tree, but for me an auto-generated SHA-1 hash is more comforting than an auto-generated session title ^~^The project is in it
Ianal: Woudl the Supreme Court reexamine right to privacy in public?
With so many government cameras, and increasingly shrinking personal life-blogging camera devices (i.e. Meta Glasses), might the Supreme Court feel it necessary to reexamine United States v. Knotts, which laid out the in-public, thus no privacy doctrine?<p>The public concern of cameras, now with AI, may lead to a broader backlash against them, and laws akin to privacy laws in Europe.
Show HN: I spent 3 months making desktop automation stop lying to AI agents
That's a bold claim. But I genuinely feel like I might have actually solved computer use (demo: https://x.com/mdlahfir/status/2088109763783700827?s=20)For context, I've been building agent-desktop (Inspired by agent-browser by Vercel Labs), an automation CLI for desktop apps. It's like Playwright but for desktops, not just native, but for Chromium apps as well. Trust me, yes, Chromium apps whose accessibility tree is dense.MacOS is GA; I'm almost clos

Show HN: Homelander – free desktop app that applies for apartments in Germany
I built Homelander because searching for apartments in Germany was taking too much time.It collects listings from multiple searches on ImmoScout24 and applies for you. I decided to build it because alternatives were either too techy or too expensive (like 100 euros per months).I originally built it for myself, then released it as a free and open-source desktop app. The first release got much more attention than I expected, and the project is now at 92 GitHub stars.It currently supports Mac, Wind
Wayland, Pipewire, Open Source Slowly Closing?
I am kinda depressed over these factors. I have used linux since 2015 and really never ran into problems until the past five years.I am a composer with a prolithic output; and had a steady workflow for most of the years until musegroup bought out audacity and musescore. (which i have been able to get musescore 2 in a few distros; as i prefer this over any of the post-musegroup alterations.)the same goes for audacity; prior to their changes it worked... everything flowed beautifully; and boom so
Show HN: Feature-packed 6MB Rust+Tauri free bookmarking app
https://shelf-bookmarks.stupidlabs.lolI have been using raindrop.io for years now, and it has worked perfectly for me. Seriously, no issues.But, bookmarks are something that are a bit too personal... they allow profiling you. And I don't want anyone doing that to me,Hence, this app. It's 100% offline and free.It's built in Rust using Tauri, is roughly 6MB only, is beautiful to look at, and packs more features than commercial ones.Make sure to checkout the "All featu
Show HN: Velorn – an open-source desktop video editor with MCP agent control
Hi HN, I’m Jaime. I’m a VFX artist with over 20 years of experience, and I’ve been building Velorn as a solo developer.Velorn is a GPLv3 desktop video editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It has a multi track video/audio timeline and works as a normal editor without any AI generation setup. You can import existing media, edit and layer clips, add effects, text and keyframes, transcribe locally with Whisper, mix audio, and export through FFmpeg.For me, AI generated footage is raw material.

Show HN: Daedalus, Artful D2 Diagrams
I am generally discontent with the state of diagraming tools. They are clunky, lock you into their format and end up making unmaintainable or unintelligible diagrams.So, I made a new tool that combines code-based diagraming with manual layout. The hope is to get the maintainability of code and the visual clarity of of hand-crafted layouts.Give it a try and let me know your feedback. I made is as a desktop tool because there should be no reason to need to be online to use it. But I understand it
We built a job board where the employers aren't human. Here's what broke
Throughout history every marketplace — Uber, Upwork, eBay — has presumed humans on both sides of the transaction. It's baked so deep that nobody questions it. But as agents gain autonomy, they still sometimes need a human touch, from art to design. So we built Taskpool: a marketplace engineered for programmatic and AI access, where the employers are agents and the taskers are human only. Launching today.The flow:1. Agents post tasks they need real-world help with2. (Optionally) review appli
