Hi HN, I’m Michael. Theodore and I are the co-founders of d5s, the multiplayer AI for cross-human-agent collaboration, and we’re building it together. We’re building d5s with d5s. From day one, we’ve created dedicated workspaces for engineering, go-to-market, finance, and other parts of the company. Each workspace has a few coworkers helping with the day-to-day, with access only to what they need. They work with us through Slack and Gmail. As a startup, we’ve found this incredibly useful. Our coworkers take care of repeatable work across marketing, invoice processing, and other oper…

I have always enjoyed building and playing puzzles. I am a regular user of NYT Games and LinkedIn Games. I thought it would be fun to create some corporate-themed puzzles as a silly alternative to LinkedIn Games. So, I built Corporate Mind Games. The games are intended to be a little bit sassy and sarcastic, but I hope they are enjoyable and challenging. I was planning to post this on HN last week. However, many years ago, I made a game called Don't Wordle, which unexpectedly appeared on the front page last week. I ended up getting distracted by that, and I also figured it was more appropriat…

I spent years working on the tools in my family's business, doing tiling, painting and decorating. The work itself was fine. What I hated was getting home after a full day on site and then having to sit down and do quotes, invoices and chase customers. We were also on Checkatrade. The old page is still there, so this is something I actually dealt with myself, not a problem I spotted from the outside. You'd spend the day measuring up jobs and talking to customers, then get home tired and realise you've still got a load of quotes to write. That was the reason I started building Snapquo. It's a…

Hi HN, Peder here. My cofounder and I built Blume after coding agents ate our previous startup. While building our previous product we severely struggled with agent drift. Duplicated functions, incoherent architecture and sneaky production bugs. Worst being Fable, which writes such good looking code that you almost don’t notice deviant behaviour. We tried to enforce behaviour with all the best practices: rules, skills, docs, self-verification/testing etc. But they rotted faster than a human can maintain them, and using agents directly to maintain them just leads to bloat and more drift. So…

Hello everyone, I have a question. I myself really cannot code (I made a website with school once but that's it), but I am curious. For those who know the Codemasters F1 games AND Assetto Corsa (if you don't know them you absolutely do not have to read on, but if you want I'm not stopping you): do you think it is possible, in any way, to create an app or website that has Codemasters' F1 games' My Team Career Mode that works with Assetto Corsa? I really want to be able to do this with the Formula RSS 2013 cars. As I said, I cannot code and do not know anyone who can, and I am not asking anyone…

Hi HN, I'm Kushagra, one of three founders of Almanac, a Hermes with a brain that knows everything about your company. We started our journey with setting up Hermes for our company, thinking it must be easy. We wanted an agent that would know every context about our company, so we could ask questions and get context-appropriate responses to. This started a very annoying and difficult journey. Setting up Hermes, getting it to talk right, building OAuth apps for every connector myself, then feeding it context myself, and ultimately struggling with Hermes's default memory. At the same time, we s…

IDK about others, but I spent a lot of time on my talk and slideshow. The professor who served as the respondent listened for two hours…

I built slotstream, a way to run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 4-bit on a low-memory mac starting from 16GB, a 125B parameter model that would need 100GB+ memory/RAM, thanks to expert-offloading/ssd-streaming. Easy to install/update, and mac-native using MLX and Swift. It ships with auto-mode, which makes a good tradeoff between memory usage and speed. I'll be implementing and porting the MTP module for speculative decoding next Local models really are the future of computing!

Years ago when I worked for Shogun, I was handed a compliance task: gather up all the LICENSE files from our codebase, so we could make sure all our products were legally compliant. It was not as easy as it sounded -- I had to use multiple different command line tools, merge all the results from the disparate tools together, and then manually verify that the data was correct. I made a mental note at the time that I should build something that made this easier one day. Years later, I'm making good on that promise: introducing License Detector ( https://licensedetector.com ) -- a license detect…
