Show HN: Raybeam – A better way to screen share on macOS

ProblemA few years ago I got my first ultra-wide monitor. It was a 49" Samsung monitor. I work as a software engineer, and in my line of work I need to screen share a lot. This almost immediately became a problem due to the size of the monitor. I would either need to get a second display just for screen sharing, share one window at a time (which required me to constantly stop/start sharing to select the new window), or share my entire screen making it difficult for other participants i

Show HN: Infinite Swap – Trade a bottle cap up to a house

Hey HN,Infinite Swap is a game inspired by Kyle MacDonald’s One Red Paperclip and other bigger-and-better swap stories - you start with a green bottle cap and trade it with other characters in various locations all the way up to a house and beyond.A while ago I got inspired by viral games Infinite Craft and What Beats Rock? and wanted to make my own ‘exploring a LLM’s latent space’ style challenge. After much experimentation this became a trading style game, where the LLM comes up with all the i

Show HN: Got ghosted by tech companies so I built a tool to track ghost jobs

Last year I was looking for a new role. I sent out applications, did the prep, waited. What came back was mostly nothing. Not rejection emails, just silence. The job listings I'd applied to stayed live for weeks. Some for months.As a software engineer, I decided to dig into it properly. I built a system to continuously track job postings across companies, logging posting dates and measuring how long roles stay open before closing or don't. After 35,000+ listings across 200+ companies,

Show HN: A Dark Cave – Minimalistic Graphics in the Age of AI Slop

Almost a year ago I started building A Dark Cave, a dark text-based browser game.The game intentionally avoids visuals and embraces minimalism.I use only text, symbols, and sounds to create atmosphere and spark the player's imagination.From time to time, I think about adding graphics to my game, since it is one of the most common requests I get from players.I even made a post about what I call the AI Slop Temptation: https://www.reddit.com/r/incremental_games/commen

Show HN: Built a verifiable, open-source SoC 2 readiness scanner

After speaking with over 50+ CISOs, DevOps, & pre-series A founders for months, I realized a problem in the GRC industry. SOC 2 automation exists, but people are split between trusting these black-box tools with systems that are continuously changing. As a result audits are slow & mistrusted.Right now the most important thing is verifiability & depth, rather than just compliance automation-because it does exist, everywhere.Here's what I did from learning this:-> Created an op

Show HN: Snatch Guard – iOS theft detection with accelerometer and Screen Time

I got frustrated hearing about phone snatching in London - thieves grab unlocked phones and immediately access banking apps, messages, photos. Android has had Theft Detection Lock since 2024 while iOS still has nothing.Apple's Stolen Device Protection delays password changes but doesn't touch the content of an unlocked phone. So I wired a few things together:- CMMotionManager at 20Hz for grab detection. I tried CMMotionActivityManager first - total waste of time. It reports "Unkno

Show HN: Gonfire – Assess how well candidates steer AI coding agents

When I graduated from a CS program in 2020, leetcode was basically a SWE entrance exam. Your ability to solve a coding puzzle thrown at you on the spot determined your fate. Recently, I’ve interviewed for a handful of “AI Engineer” positions at several startups and I noticed a shift in the format of technical assessments. Timed OAs and live leetcoding have been replaced with a “case study” format where AI use is encouraged. These were the two main patterns I saw:1. Take home: Candidate downloads

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

Show HN: How to Kill the Dead Internet

Ok, so maybe "how to revive the internet" would be more accurate, but if you're reading this, I got your attention, right? Here's why I want you to read on: I built a free extension, D-slop, to disincentivize anyone from posting AI writing, and eventually images and video as well, on the internet.For writing, it checks known vocab and punctuation tells, as well as subtler tells related to cadence, and assigns it a score subject to an adjustable threshold. If the text fails, u

My Mouth Has Fallen in Love with Fake Meat

I just ate a supreme burrito at Bimbo’s. I am a meat eater but I ordered it with “vegan chipotle chicken.” After the first bite, I knew it had joined Ballet’s fake-meat pho on my short list of ...

Put Your Fake Meat in My Mouth!

Show HN: Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices.We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly

Show HN: Graphmind – Persistent Memory and Graph for Claude Code (MCP, CLI, GUI)

Hello everyone,My name is Alex. I’ve been a CTO for many years and am passionate about development.Unsurprisingly, and like many others, AI has changed a lot of things and made processes much simpler and faster. However, this complexity is sometimes accompanied by new challenges that are unique to AI. As we know, AI—and more specifically LLMs—have no memory; they can’t store information within their context and may perform the same search 50 times. Many solutions are now available to address th

Show HN: Building effective Human-AI hybrid decision-making ecosystem

I'm running an experiment to discover ways to move AI agents from "instruction followers" to "process owners". Most agents fail when a task requires evolving intuition or persistent, multi-day workflows.The core of this experiment is a collaborative "do-and-learn" loop where the agent executes a proven, high-stakes lead generation methodology, and the human provides the "judgment" layer.This is an ambitious experiment exploring a few points:Judgment v

Show HN: Mochi.js: bun-native high-fidelity browser automation library

Hi HN,I’m sharing mochi.js (https://github.com/0xchasercat/mochi), a Bun-native, raw-CDP browser automation framework. It's designed to make programmatic browser use more effective by focusing on consistency and measured parity with regular traffic, purely from the JS layer, against stock Chromium.The most common forms of browser automation focus heavily on client-side line by line probes, which are mostly cosmetic. This makes people feel better but it doesn't have

Ask HN: What's the most compelling paranormal evidence you found online?

Interested to see what this community might come up with, or whether it gets instantly trashed on for being too whimsical of a question. I don't mean aliens or UFOs necessarily, but more ghosts, hauntings, skinwalkers, Missing 411, Bigfoot, and other sorts of entities that are of Earth but not earthly by our understanding. Do you think there exists phenomena that can't be explained by our current knowledge of creatures, humans, and science?Years ago I stumbled upon this channel: https:

What do you NOT like about Cursor / VSCode / Claude Code desktop / Codex / etc.?

I am building a highly integrated, cross-provider agentic workstation (its neither an IDE nor an ADE - does a bit of both, with additional unique features on top), and I would love for you guys to rant about what you hate about the tools you currently use. You don't even have to mention the tool name if you want.Examples: - "X is cool but lacks worktrees support" - "I hate that I have to go to GitHub to check if my PR has been already approved" - "I wish that X woul
