LiveObjects now available: shared state without the infrastructure overhead

Shared state is a hard problem. Not hard in the abstract, computer-science sense (the concepts are well understood). Hard in the someone has to actually build this sense, where every team that wants a live leaderboard, a shared config panel, or a poll that updates in real time ends up reinventing the same wheels: conflict resolution, reconnection handling, state recovery.Most teams do not want to spend their time building and maintaining that layer. They want to ship the feature that depends on

Show HN: Drop – Linux sandboxing for LLM agents and untrusted code

Drop is a Linux sandboxing tool with a focus on a productive local workflow. Drop allows you to easily create sandboxed environments that isolate executed programs while preserving as many aspects of your work environment as possible. Drop uses your existing distribution - your installed programs, your username, filesystem paths, config files carry over into the sandbox.The workflow is inspired by Python's virtualenv: create an environment, enter it, work normally - but with enforced sandbo

Show HN: How I built a resume editor using AI with zero web dev experience

Hi,I have recently been applying for summer internships and got frustrated when tailoring my resumes in Word. I started learning Python last autumn, but had absolutely zero experience with web development or deploying something to the front/backend. I wanted to experiment with the new coding agents to build a resume editor that would make my application process less painful.Here it is: www.tailortojob.appHow I built it: A friend helped me set up the initial infrastructure because I struggle

Show HN: Kage – TUI for managing multiple AI agents with tmux and Git worktrees

Hi HN! I built kage to manage multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) in parallel using tmux and git worktrees.<p>The idea came from wanting to parallelize feature development instead of waiting on one agent at a time.<p>Would love feedback on: - usability of the TUI - workflow with tmux&#x2F;worktrees - any missing features<p>Thanks!

Show HN: Running AI agents across environments needs a proper solution

Hi HN folks,I have been building AI agents for quite some time now. The shift has gone from LLM + Tools → LLM Workflows → Agent + Tools + Memory, and now we are finally seeing true agency emerge: agents as systems composed of tools, command-line access, fine-grained system capabilities, and memory.This way of building agents is powerful, and I believe it is here to stay. But the real question is: are the systems powering these agents ready for that future?I do not think so.Using Docker for a sin

Show HN: FrogDB – yet another "Redis in Rust" project

It’s been a big week for RIIR Redis projects as someone posted one earlier this week so I’m throwing my hat in the ring.I’ve been experimenting with building an “improved” version of Redis using Rust as a personal project over the last few months in what started as a “what if” and has become something I’ve found myself more and more interested in. After the HN post last week I decided to see if there’s interest in such a more serious project that, despite having a bunch of AI-generated code. sti

Ask HN: Why is there no "Response Contract" for CXL memory fabrics?

While the world watches the chatbots, a more permanent transformation is occurring in the buildings that run them. We are shifting from open, modular computing to Integrated Silos—systems where the chip, the cooling, and the software are designed to work only with each other.1. The Energy Tax Modern AI data centers waste the majority of their electricity on data movement, not computation. Because processors and memory are separate, data must be shuttled constantly between them, generating immens

Show HN: I wrote a macOS C++ audio driver to fix HDMI volume controls

Hi HN, If you’ve ever plugged an external monitor (HDMI&#x2F;DisplayPort) or a USB DAC into a Mac, you probably know the frustration: the volume keys instantly die, the volume slider greys out, and macOS throws a icon at you. Apple strictly treats digital outputs as &quot;Fixed Volume&quot; devices and refuses to apply software gain. I got tired of this, so I built SoundBridge – an open-source, ultra-lightweight system audio router that natively restores volume controls for any external device.

Show HN: On-device meeting transcription for your Mac

Hi HN!Like a lot of people, I love Granola and use it every day. The onboarding experience, the numerous delighters, the flourishes and the way it just works are all testament to the quality bar you can clear with an Electron app given enough care and expertise. It was the first app I&#x27;d ever used which recorded system audio on Mac without recording video too, which sparked a year-long obsession with Apple&#x27;s Core Audio taps API, led to me creating an open source Swift library which make

New Open Source Release

I am releasing three large software systems I developed privately over several years as a solo effort, without institutional backing, corporate sponsorship, or a formal engineering team.These are not concepts or mockups. They are real, deployable systems. They install through Docker, Helm, or Kubernetes, start successfully, and produce observable results. They are currently running on cloud infrastructure. That said, they should be understood as unfinished foundations, not polished products.Toge

Show HN: AI SDLC Scaffold, repo template for AI-assisted software development

I built an open-source repo template that brings structure to AI-assisted software development, starting from the pre-coding phases: objectives, user stories, requirements, architecture decisions.It&#x27;s designed around Claude Code but the ideas are tool-agnostic. I&#x27;ve been a computer science researcher and full-stack software engineer for 25 years, working mainly in startups. I&#x27;ve been using this approach on my personal projects for a while, then, when I decided to package it up as

Ask HN: Is there a way to tell if somebody is in the Microsoft partner network?

Have you ever come across somebody who seems to be over-aggressively pushing migration to Azure or rebuilding with .NET technologies when neither offer any apparent benefit to the situation?I recently learned about the Microsoft Partner Program and the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, which made me curious if there is a way to find out if the recommendations are being pushed because of an undisclosed financial incentive.I spent 5 years at the architecture level in a midsized .NET company and

TTal – CLI that turns Claude Code into a multi-agent software factory

I built TTal because I got tired of babysitting Claude Code sessions. Every PR meant switching between windows, copy-pasting review feedback, telling the coder what to fix, and repeating until it merged. I wanted to manage all of this from my phone while doing other things.TTal is a Go CLI that orchestrates multiple Claude Code sessions in a two-plane architecture:Manager plane — long-running agents that persist across sessions. They draft plans, break them into tasks, assign priorities, and unb

Show HN: Lukan – An open-source agentic workstation in a single Rust binary

Hi HN, I&#x27;ve been building Lukan, an open-source (MIT) agentic workstation that runs entirely as a single Rust binary with zero runtime dependencies. I started this because I wanted a unified workstation optimized for my own productivity. My goal was to build an environment where I could securely remote into my machine from anywhere, seamlessly view and modify local files, and run AI agents or drop into a terminal side-by-side, all integrated with a rich set of built-in tools. Here is what m

AI coding agents accidentally introduced vulnerable dependencies

Recently we discovered something unexpected on one of our servers: a cryptominer running in the background.The machine was hosting a web service built using Next.js. The first sign of trouble was unusually high CPU usage. Even during low traffic periods, the server was consistently running near 100% utilization. After inspecting running processes and network activity, we found a background process downloading and executing a mining binary.ROOT CAUSEThe entry point was CVE-2025-29927, a vulnerabi
