Show HN: Toolcraft – open-source AI harness and starter for building design apps
MIT-licensed, 100% free starter kit, UI library, and AI harness for building your own design apps. Works with Codex, Claude, Cursor, or any other agents.I’ve always been passionate about pushing the boundaries of design software, spending years with tools like Figma, Blender, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. But some design tasks need different software — tailored exactly to your needs and creative vision. Apps that aren’t vendor-locked. Apps you can freely modify to make your workflow
Show HN: Mutt-like mail client with terminal HTML+img, MCP, CRM & scheduled mail
For the past few weeks I've been working on my mail client which is behaviorally based on neomutt, but it has a unified inbox/archive/etc. which is based on a notmuch backend. neomutt was a big pain for me to use with tag based email handling, and it's really hard to get it setup and working mail moving, when using a tag based workflow. I still found a bug in maildir flag handling by two days ago, so it turns out I underestimated all the corner cases that exist, but it should
Show HN: Hopera, a free musical soothing rhythmic game
I built this small musical game in Lua, with the LÖVE 2d engine. I initially tried building it in Unity but it was more complicated than expected. I use LÖVE because it allowed to draw every pixel as I wanted. It's free to play on iOS, Android, and even the web.
Show HN: Caffenol, a darkroom simulation photo editing toy
Caffenol is a darkroom toy, built on film development and darkroom craft. You load a photo and develop it into a negative in a simulated tank. Then you print that negative under a timed enlarger exposure. You shape the light by hand with cut cards that you wave over the paper.Under the hood, it's a WebGPU-powered film and paper sim, with chaos from each run producing a unique, organic result. It's built to encourage experimentation and there are few guardrails.I built this because dark

Show HN: Runyte – a modal editor with integrated terminals and a file manager
Hi, I'm building Runyte, an open-source terminal workspace built around a modal
text editor, written in Rust.The goal is to create a coherent workspace with minimal UI and maximum focus.
Files, terminal panes, and Git views share one interface, navigation, clipboard,
and theme. A fuzzy finder searches through files, buffers, and terminals. Runyte
supports a persistent mode (client-server) in which you can detach and return
later while terminal processes and LSP servers keep running, or you

CIQ ships RLC Pro AI on the newest long-term Linux kernel and converts accelerator capability into production throughput
RLC Pro AI runs the latest long-term Linux kernel, 6.18, with the GPU stack tuned and validated at first boot, and now ships as container images that run anywhere an enterprise puts an AI workloadRENO, Nev., Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIQ, the founding support and services partner of Rocky Linux, today moved RLC Pro AI to Linux 6.18, the latest long-term kernel. Enterprises get the latest kernel features with a vendor standing behind them, and the same tuned stack now runs anywhere they
Show HN: Manhattan Safety Atlas
After researching homes and properties in New York, I realized it's very difficult to find unified data on neighborhood safety, cleanliness, or the quality of walks during the day or night. So I built an app that quickly scores how nice an area is and how safe or pleasant a walk between two points in Manhattan is. Hopefully, it will be helpful to many others. Cheers.
Show HN: Archprint, infer architecture lint rules from your repo's import graph
This tool started as a research for me trying to answer the question "Does AI agents drift from your architecture conventions or if you need enforcement instead?". So I started out building a benchmark to test that premise and on the scope I tested, the agents did not drift and I had to stop that research line. So to reuse what I have learnt from that research, I started out trying to catch engineer's regressions through review and CI and create those conventions codebases already
Show HN: A browser IDE for m68000, Z80 assembly (and more), with graphics
Asm Editor is an open-source browser IDE for writing, running, and debugging assembly.It currently supports M68K, Z80, MIPS, RISC-V (32- and 64-bit), and x86-64. The debugger includes breakpoints, backward stepping, execution history, register and memory inspection, and other tools intended to make assembly easier to understand.I recently added graphics, keyboard, and mouse support, so it’s now possible to build small games and other interactive programs.The project is aimed primarily at univers
Show HN: Froogle – a search engine portal in one HTML file
Silly but fun project: a search engine portal in one html file. It aims to bring back that retro 2005 search experience: lighting fast list of links and that’s about it.It’s powered by https://keenable.ai, a new search API. You have 2 privacy options. 1) Proxied via https://froogle.fyi. Keenable sees your queries, but not your IP or any user IDs. Your traffic is mixed with everyone else’s. This may get rate limited, but zero setup. 2) Direct access: bring your own Keenable AP

Show HN: Qumra – Screen recorder that uploads while you record
I built Qumra 3 years ago for myself. It's a Loom like desktop screen and camera recorder for Mac and Windows.I used Loom at the time and had a problem with the pricing, and the editor never did what I needed. As a software developer I record a lot of short videos for clients: showing a bug, a fix, an example. After recording I usually needed edits. Cut a part where something showed up on screen that shouldn't be there. Silence the filler words instead of cutting them. Remove parts of
Show HN: Gote – a CLI note-taking management tool for plain Markdown
Repo: https://github.com/banorton/goteI built a note taking management tool to use at work for quick note taking and searching. It is intended to be quite minimal. Another focus was to have lots of shortcuts and to keep things close to the homerow for ergonomics and speed.Notes are just markdown files in whatever directory you point it at. The only thing it keeps elsewhere is an index in ~/.gote. If you stop using it you still have all your notes.Tags go on the first lin
