Stuck in Your Writing?
Cultivate readers for your work and build a network of them to draw upon throughout your writing process, advises Jennifer Ahern-Dodson. I recently led a faculty writing retreat. During a discussion about sustaining writing momentum, we talked about the power of writers asking readers for feedback if they are stuck. Yet most writers were not comfortable sharing their work before it was “submission ready.” In our discussion they shared some version of the following:

Show HN: SatGate – An economic firewall for AI agent traffic
SatGate is an API gateway that enforces budgets on AI agent traffic. Open source (Go, Apache 2.0).The problem: AI agents make API calls that cost money — LLM inference, tool calls, third-party services. Most setups have no hard spending limits. An agent loop or prompt injection can burn through hundreds of dollars before anyone notices. Rate limiting doesn't help because it doesn't understand cost.SatGate sits in front of your agent's outbound calls and enforces economic policy:•
Show HN: Thoth – Obsidian AI Research Assistant
I'm an ML scientist who was drowning in papers. Every research tool I tried locked me into their workflow, their sources, their extraction schemas. The real friction wasn't features—it was the interface. Why am I editing files and settings when I could just tell the agent what I want?

Three design decisions that drove everythin
Show HN: HelixNotes – UpNote-inspired local-first Markdown notes in Rust

Show HN: Opsmeter–attribute LLM spend to endpoints and prompt versions(no proxy)
Hi HN — I built Opsmeter, a lightweight LLM telemetry tool focused on cost attribution + budget control.Provider dashboards mostly show totals. Opsmeter shows what caused the bill by breaking spend down by endpointTag, promptVersion, and optionally userId — plus latency and success/error rates.It’s no-proxy: Opsmeter doesn’t sit in your request path. After each LLM call, you send a small telemetry payload to /v1/ingest/llm-request (provider, model, endpointTag, promptVersion,
