Show HN: Rmux – A programmable terminal multiplexer with a Playwright-style SDK

Author here. RMUX started from a frustration: I've used tmux for years and got tired of scraping output with grep and sleeps to automate anything. So I rebuilt the multiplexer from scratch in Rust, with a programmable layer on top.Two surfaces: a tmux-compatible CLI (~90 commands, your keybindings just work), and a typed async Rust SDK on the same daemon — stable pane IDs, structured snapshots, locator-style waits. The idea is Playwright-style automation, but for terminals.Native on Linux,

Show HN: A timeline of recent open source CVE intensity and volume

I was curious what it would look like if I plotted the intensity and volume of software supply chain CVEs over time, given what seemed like a flood of compromises lately.It looked exactly as I expected, and I expect it to get worse before it gets better.Yes, an LLM was used but because I wanted the simplest possible architecture, I steered away from using any back end at all. Instead it's just GitHub pages with a static json document as the source of data, updated daily by a GitHub action w

Show HN: SoMatic – Vision-based OS automation framework for AI agents

Hi HN, I'm Smyan and I enjoy building agents. Modern multimodal LLMs are great at vision and perception but are quite poor at localization. This naturally creates a massive problem when we try to take our RPA frameworks and give them to agents to perform computer use tasks.For browsers, we have been able to solve this by using the DOM tree to supply the LLM with structural hints and now more recently modern browser use frameworks use Set-Of-Marks prompting which take the structural informat

Show HN: MailMark – Cold email tool where you own your domain and mailboxes

Hi, I am Debasish from India. I am passionate about building softwares. I started coding long ago around 2015 when android apps were built only Java. Kotlin was not a thing then. I built railify android app. That was the first time I built and shipped one product to the world. The journey did not stop after that. I built several other products. All of these are my side projects. I am not a software developer by profession. I am an electrical engineer working in a power plant in India. However, a

Dealing with a Fake a World

I don't know if it is the cynicism of aging or the zeitgeist but essentially every single news item I see on or off HN is either fake, misinterpreted, mispresented, unimportant, irrelavant or uninteresting. Look at the front page of HN on any given time in recent years. 50% are about unmonetizable, over hyped AI, 30% are some kind of nostalgic retrocomputing or enthusiast project. Maybe 1-5% are actually ideas that could drive economic growth. Hypothesis: the seeking of moats and extractive
