A few years back, I was at a beachside Easter egg hunt, watching my kids dash through sand dunes searching for sweet treats. My phone buzzed in my pocket; I ignored it.

Show HN: Worktable, an open-source workspace for you and your agentshttps://github.com/worktable/worktable-dev

Hello HN! I built Worktable as an open-source, file-based workspace for you and your agents to create docs, plans, and build small tools. For example, you ask an agent to compare hosting options for your next side project, save the research notes, and build a calculator where you can adjust traffic and storage assumptions yourself. As a backstory, I run my Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw on a server at home and was consistently frustrated with the experience of trying to review/edit docs, share context between them, switch to other new agents, and more. In the last few months, it has become…

On Android, if you have a bunch of apps and fitness monitors from different manufacturers, very few of them all talk to each other. Your data is scattered across different apps or double counted.

This is a reference implementation of encrypted chats for small trusted groups. It runs SSH server in a container that acts as a mailbox for opaque encrypted blobs (145 lines of code). SSH keys serve as an identity. Then a local demon syncs and decrypts these blobs into SQLite database (321 lines of code). I wanted to make crypto as simple as possible and have only widely used and well audited components. Relay server and sync demon are implemented in standard Python without any extra dependencies. I've chosen Python as it ships with SQLite client in standard library. Could have used go/rust,…

The report describes attackers using AI to industrialize credential theft, cloud compromise, phishing, vulnerability research, and the extraction of sensitive data from downstream organizations. ...
