Show HN: GridPath – Faster and Better Agent for Spreadsheets (Tauri, Rust)

Hi HN — I built GridPath as I wanted something that runs like Cursor for spreadsheets - parallel workloads, reversible changes, fast, with tool set customized for spreadsheet work and connection to multiple model providers. It's a Tauri/Rust desktop app, free to use, just connect your Claude token or sign in with OpenAI subscription.A few things that were interesting to figure out: you can get very close to Excel with just Univer free license, the most material missing elements are cha

Show HN: Legato – a Rust audio graph framework with a minimal DSL

I've been building Legato, a realtime audio graph framework for Rust. The idea is to sit somewhere between PureData/MaxMSP (graph-based, visual routing) and something like JUCE.The core of it is a minimal runtime and DSL for graph definitions. There are no loops, branching or evaluations. It's purely for wiring nodes together. If you want real logic, you write a custom node in Rust, register it, and drop it into the graph.This way, you can easily extend the framework with Rust, as

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

A minimalist self-hosted Telegram bot to talk directly to a [Pi](https://pi.dev) AI agent harness.I'm not saying you should use it. But if you're a Unix guy like me, maybe you can get inspired, in a world where personal agents include the kitchen sink and a Minecraft server. :)- Supports switching Pi sessions directly from your phone, to keep context on leash.- Supports tasking Pi from shell (normal `cr

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
