Show HN: Junco, turn newsletters into short audio episodes
Hey HN, I released my app Junco today to the iOS app store. Junco turns your newsletters emails and RSS feeds into short 2-5 minute podcast style episodes. You can listen to them while walking, commuting, showering, etc.You can connect your gmail account to have them auto generated each day or use the email we give you. You also have the option to follow RSS feeds in the app "discover" section. Gmail access is read-only for only the senders you approve. This was one of the biggest hurd
Show HN: Review-First AI IDE, Built on Codex and OpenCode
Hey HN, I’m Vignesh, solo dev.Handler is a Mac app for Codex and OpenCode that adds a review layer while the agent is generating code.Every edit comes with a short explanation: what changed, why it changed, and what it touches. If one edit needs more context, you can open a side chat on just that change and ask follow-ups without derailing the main agent run.The goal is to build a mental model as the code is generated, instead of waiting until the end and reviewing one giant diff cold.It’s the s
I hadn't coded in 30 years. Then I built a space game with Godot
Two years ago, I accidentally discovered the Godot Engine for making games. My coding experience was 30 years back. I was a radar designer and I spent years making software for simulating propagation of electromagnetic waves. I even got a scientific prize for it. I followed the tutorial on the Godot website and I was hooked.I did not have a plan for the game. It grew organically. However I had a vision: with Earth's resources getting scarcer, Humanity will have to go beyond Earth and even b
Show HN: MetaBrain – A local document memory for AI agents
Hello there HNI experimented with agentic coding recently and I felt the need to track more contextual data by project. Also I felt the need to be able to go beyond the 1D chat to communicate with agents.So I created a local document memory, that is discoverable by agents themselves. The CLI is designed to be easy to pick up by agents. It allows humans to collaborate too by reading / searching / editing documents in the store.I have a Mac native GUI in the review process, I hope it wi
Show HN: Parley – code review TUI for AI code
Wrote my own tool that helps me review AI Slop. Akin to Github/GitLab reviews but local and in a TUI instead. You get full review history, branch, worktree, commit switching and supports AI agents in codex, claude, opencode and pi. You can also customize the prompts that get sent to these agent harnesses when calling the agent from the TUI.It has an MCP as well, so you can just tell your AI agent to address the comments in review "new-review" for example, instead of running the A
Show HN: Vetkuro, telemetry analysis for track-day drivers
Good morning, In April, I launched Vetkuro, an application I had been working on for a few years (3+) after hours.It is a mobile app and web analyzer for track-day drivers - the idea is to help drivers record their sessions, verify lap times, compare laps and sectors, and understand where they are gaining or losing time using GPS, OBD II, video and other telemetry sources.Last week, 11 people used Vetkuro at Słomczyn, a track near Warsaw, Poland, and recorded more than 40 sessions. I later learn
Show HN: Odeva Booking – A unified PMS for holiday parks and campgrounds
Hey HN,I'm a solo developer based in Zeeland, The Netherlands. I've been building Odeva, a property management system for holiday parks, vacation rentals, and campgrounds. It's a headless-first tool that's built specifically for the small-to-mid independent operators that legacy PMS vendors ignore. Still deciding on open-sourcing the project.The problem: Most park management software was built 10+ years ago, designed for enterprise procurement, not for the receptionist or pa
Ask HN: ZealPHP – Dangers Isolating Request-State in Coroutines?
I built ZealPHP (https://php.zeal.ninja), a runtime experiment with OpenSwoole - to isolate what leaks between coroutines. The idea is to bring back the good old PHP coding style, but with coroutines, making async a default safe choice.Github: https://github.com/sibidharan/zealphpThe goal is not to replace Laravel or Symfony. The goal is to replace the execution model of PHP application servers.OpenSwoole provides the coroutine runtime, HTTP/WebSocket server, w
Show HN: Jørnal, a journaling app where the page is always blank
Journaling in the digital world quickly becomes editing or second-guessing what to write. Freedom is bad. So I flipped it: as a side project I've been working on a simple journaling app where the page is always blank, and what you write is immutable.It tries super hard to always keep whatever you write and never lose your words. The editor of course always stores in local storage to guard against accidental tab closes; there's a queue that lets you write offline and drains it on the ba
Show HN: Carto – structural intelligence for AI coding agents (OSS)
The problem : AI agents fail systematically above 10k LOC. The failure mode are same wrong file, partial completion, tool thrashing, context overflow.Carto fixes this by giving AI agents what they are missing - Domain Map (automatic, no config), blast radius before any change, cross domain violation detection, Agents md for instant codebase context, 16+ mcp tools etc.AI knowing what could break before it start editing code. Feels like most tools are focus on generating code faster. Maybe the ne

Tracing her path from a chance airport encounter through a career writing iconic novels and opening a beloved independent bookstore, she makes the case that reading isn't a private pleasure but a civic act that bui...
Show HN: Sedon – node based 3D generation
I know vibe coding is controversial. I wanted to give it a try so over the last ~4 weeks I tried vibe coding a blender/houdini inspired node based 3d geneartion app in my spare time. The original goal was to try to generate great looking 3d environments from relatively small data. Most games download megs or gigs of data and that's no good for web based things.If you're an AI skeptic still, maybe seeing more concretely what's possible today might convince you otherwise? I
Show HN: Terse, TypeScript First Workflow Builder
Hi!After months of building, we are now opening up Terse for beta/early access and made our repo public.Terse is an Open Source (SU License) typescript first Zapier/n8n alternative built to work with Claude Code from the ground up.We found that UI Workflow builders aren’t great for complex tasks and that developers (and now Sales Engineers!) much prefer staying in IDE’s + Claude Code + terminal. In addition, AI struggles at building complex GUI based workflows since it isn’t native cod

"Using AI to surveil our work violates our contract and creates a skewed, inaccurate picture of our members’ work," said Benjamin Harnett, chair of the Tech Guild’s Generative AI committee and a staff software engineer at The Times.
