I've been working on this app for a couple months, because I needed help outlining my story being written on Google Docs. I kept adding new characters, and it was difficult for me to keep track of everything going on in the story. I wasn't organized at all. I do have a subscription to Claude, and it helps, sure, but it didn't exactly build a graph of all the story elements connecting together. Throwing 20 chapters into one context was just terrible at narrowing its focus. I started building this tool as a way to help me with a few things... First, was replace Google Docs, because that thing l…

Hey HN, I’m Vishnu from Agent37 ( https://agent37.com ). We build sandboxes for running AI agents at under 10% of the cost of most sandbox providers. Our customers spend an average of $0.37/month per sandbox. You can view a video walkthrough of the product here: https://youtu.be/DK5ISR2tbNo We started as one of those OpenClaw wrapper companies back in February (yup.. judge me). In time we added more and more harnesses. One of the goals I had at the time was to offer a free plan to users, so as to gain more market share. But it was too cost prohibitive to do it right away.

I got sick of seeing my various family members playing solitaire games with ads or subscriptions, and it's 2026 where you can just ask for software, which makes it all the more frustrating that the classic games got enshittified, so I made this. It works on the web but there's also native mobile and desktop builds. I have put a fair bit of effort into the UI, rules, and bots for games that I personally know well. But of course I haven't played all these games in real life, and so some may have rules or UI issues that I will need feedback to resolve. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/…

Hey HN, I’m Oskar, one of the co-founders of TesterArmy. We built an agentic testing framework for web and mobile because traditional testing frameworks can’t keep up with the pace of how we build software today. e2e allows you to mix deterministic and agentic APIs in the same test. You can write the test cases using familiar APIs like getByText()or getByTestId() which you can also mix it with agentic agent.act(). The unique part about it is that e2e will cache and replay the agentic actions so you don’t have to pay for AI on each run. You can use it with any LLM, including subscr…
