Show HN: A daily briefing service-inspired by Huxe rip:(https://genexperiences.com/nomenclature

Hi all, here to share an experiment with you all. And I can get real technical on here because you get it. I built this briefing service. What's a brief? Well it's like a mini-podcast if it was just about what you care about. Oh a new app? Who cares am I right. But it's not an app. It's a service you use over SMS for cheap (because running a mac mini for this is out of my budget or the $100 a month.) The results though arrive in your podcasts app. Since RSS is a widely accepted open-source standard, it can work on all your podcasts apps if it can accept a personalized URL. Which Apple Podcast…

London’s first self-driving taxis for hire hit the streetshttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/03/london-first-self-driving-taxis-for-hire-wayve-uber

Wayve robotaxis added to Uber app and will have human in front ready to take over if needed – but only 15 cars licensed Londoners are now able to hire self-driving taxis for the first time, after rides in Wayve’s autonomous vehicles were added to the Uber app on Thursday. The chances of landing a robotaxi on request immediately are slim, with only 15 vehicles so far licensed. That contrasts with the more than 100,000 private hire vehicles in the capital – roughly the same number of Uber customers who have registered to take autonomous rides. Continue reading...

Show HN: Brb – A Claude Code plugin for adhdmaxxinghttps://github.com/usebrb/brb

brb is a Claude Code plugin that watches when Claude is working on a long turn. After 10 seconds (configurable), it opens a native panel offering you somewhere to go - X, Reddit, Hacker News, or anything else you want. You pick somewhere, browse for a bit, and the moment Claude finishes or needs something from you, it pings you and brings you back to the terminal. Instead of me opening X on my own and checking to see if claude is done 50 times and adhdmaxxing, brb will facilitate this in a much smoother way.

Show HN: ReviewAssist-Uses coding session to fix code and guided PR walkthroughhttps://reviewassist.dev

We are a three person team and one thing that we cannot afford to do is spend too much time on the PR. While there are review tools around it to help in the process, all of them start from the diff and the other problem is all of them cost money. So, I build an MCP server which resides in every developer claude session. The MCP server spawns couple of sub agents: Author and Reviewer Author holds the chat session without the code and the Reviewer holds the diff. The reviewer tries to reason out from the diff and asks questions to the author for grounding. Once the reviewer gets all the answers…

Show HN: Vanity Domain Generatorhttps://vanitydomain.net

When each of my kids got to the age that they started using email and having an online presence, I got them their own vanity domain by going to a "fake word generator" and then taking the best-looking fake words and doing a registrar search for it. With my youngest son starting the process, I thought "I'll save time going back and forth and integrate the process. Surely it can't be that hard." Making it happen was easy. Making it something I would share was harder. It's implemented as a single-page app at https://vanitydomain.net , with all of the logic on the client side. It takes the top 10…
