Show HN: VidScio – Identify movie/series from a URL, image or descriptionhttps://www.vidscio.com

VidScio is a web app to identify movie/series names and it's details from links (like YouTube, Instagram, etc.), images, or descriptions. It started as a Chrome extension (now available in the Chrome Store) to identify movies/series while I was watching videos or shorts on YouTube. I simply grabbed the HTML and passed it to an LLM API to get the name. I started with gemini-2.5-flash-lite, and it worked surprisingly well. Then I created a watchlist feature to store the movies I liked directly in the extension and added the OMDb API to get movie details like director, cast, etc. The UI space in…

Show HN: npx x402-hosting deploy – hosting NextJS with a single cmdhttps://x402-hosting.com

Hi HN, Creator here of x402-hosting. The idea is that vibe-coded projects need hosting too! Some friends of mine asked how to convert a .tsx file into a link, and that got me thinking. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just ask the agent itself to deploy the project for x amount of months and return a live URL... Maybe agents will start using this, maybe not. At least it was a great excuse to play around with the x402 payment-required protocol. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49432623 Points: 2 # Comments: 0
