I created this online puzzle game where one daily real password from data breaches has to be guessed in Wordle-style. Once you solve it, you see how many accounts actually used that password (Source: Have I Been Pwned). It's free, needs no sign-up, and takes a minute. I work in digital forensics and I come across passwords every day, and the patterns are always the same ones. Daily Crack started above all as a small awareness campaign on this topic. You might find your own password and discover it's used by hundreds of thousands of other people. Or realise that six attempts are enough to gues…

Hi HN! We're releasing an open-source CLI for hillclimbing Agent Experience.

Pointing your own agent at the repo is enough to get started. https://github.com/gauge-sh/gauge-cli We've found that power users generally want to hand a CLI/MCP to their agents and get started from the terminal. They rarely want to log in and use the web UI themselves. We think developer tools must be agent-friendly to remain relevant. Here are some common findings that Gauge…

During my travels to the US and Canada, I wanted to see prices in my currency. however, in both countries, prices are shown BEFORE tax. which adds more confusion. This conversion apps uses location and locale to try and automatically provide estimations closer to what you'll pay based on your location. It's limited (since tax differs between products) but it's good enough to get a better estimation. It also includes nice overview of tipping customs (I do hope to make this into an open wik…

What’s up HN?! I'm Benji, and I’ve been building Frink since ~April this year. Frink is a desktop-first, open-source (MIT) app for running coding agents in parallel and multi-step workflows that start on their own. It runs on your machine (macOS and Linux) with your own provider login. It currently supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and OpenCode, but the latter 3 are in preview. No Frink account to use the app. The biggest USP of Frink is workflows: think n8n for agents. You describe a routine in a sentence, for example: "every weekday at 9am, run the tests; if any fail, have a…

dp_intl is intended to be an enhanced version of the Gettext runtime library (also known as libintl), with the following improvements: * dp_intl does not depend on the locale. In contrast, Gettext requires the use of the setlocale() function from the C standard library, which alters the behavior of other locale-dependent C routines, leading to subtle bugs that only arise in specific locales. For example, a floating-point number serialized by snprintf() with a locale that uses a period as a decimal separator will not be parsed correctly by strtof() with a locale that uses a comma, and vice ver…

I got into homelabbing a year ago and have been deploying OSS and making some of my own to address some pain points in my everyday life. One particular area I thought I could improve was keeping in touch with people. Well that first required having a centralized place to see all my contacts. I have some friends on my Google contacts, other relationships on LinkedIn and even some in Facebook. A secondary need is something that's been blowing up recently with people search. LLMs + Search are surprisingly good at aggregating relevant data and parsing through for relevant information. And finally…
