Show HN: Listpro – Turn product screenshots into launch assetshttps://listpro.app

I am a true believer in "throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks" ideology so I've built products for multiple marketplaces- Shopify, Notion, mondaydotcom & also SaaS. While AI coding made building faster, launching was my big problem. Marketplaces and launch platforms (Product hunt, appsumo etc) are a sea of products and it's really tough to pass them with average looking launch assets. I'm not a designer, nor do I find it sensible to pay for a monthly subscription when the launch is not a weekly thing (not yet atleast). So I kept facing this issue again and again when I'd spend h…

Show HN: Security Cards – Reducing insecure AI-generated code by 72%https://www.rewarelabs.com/blog/introducing-security-cards

AI coding agents often generate functionally correct but insecure code. To address this issue, we have open-sourced Security Cards, targeted security guidance for 80+ widely used libraries across 13 programming languages. Our evaluation shows that the Security Cards reduce the rate of insecure code generation by up to 72.3% in Claude Code with Opus 4.7. You can find these security cards on GitHub ( https://github.com/Reware-Labs/securitycards ) or on our website ( https://securitycards.rewarelabs.com/ ) We are planning to constantly support more languages and libraries, and we’d be glad to…

(I learnt of it's existence here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KAauJp9MiblyAInIbgS2... ) I decided to build this after coming across https://eieio.games/blog/realtime-google-sheet/ , though I think in some ways mine's a lil more advanced.

AIs Compress Exploit Timelinehttps://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/09/ais-compress-exploit-timeline.html

Give an AI agent a mere rumor of an exploit, and it’s enough for them to find it. What’s worse, I found I could use my own agents to find the exploit just by knowing roughly what it was about and so could have been exploiting it well before the public patch was available! Given that just the rumour of a security issue seems enough to give attackers enough info to find new exploits, we’re going to need to change the way we deal with security responses in open source. Simon Willison comments : Anil points out that this rate of discovery appears incompatible with existing open source embar…

A web regex visualiser with PCRE2https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1wcezxw/a_web_regex_visualiser_with_pcre2

Author here. The interesting part is how it's built. The whole engine is PCRE2 compiled to WASM, ~92 KB over the wire, and no roundtrips to the server. Probably has a few bugs I haven't found out yet :) The PCRE2 engine compiles the pattern with callouts enabled which inserts a callout before every item,and each callout carries the source offset and length of the item that follows it. The visualisations are based on capturing the callout data.
