Design docs are how we communicate ideas with other people, and increasingly with agents. We got used to code blocks and embedded images, but agents can do amazing things when their canvas is HTML. Interactive visualizations make ideas more persuasive, and help you converge with an agent on what to build before you build it.

Show HN: Sensez – helping coding agents catch their own code smellshttps://github.com/popov95s/sensez

Hi HN β€” I’ve been frustrated by how many code smells coding agents produce - no matter how many instructions I put in the AGENTS.md, even the most capable models still reach for dict[str, Any], add multiple boolean flags to functions or hide logic in a heavy nested function that I can't easily unit test. I've even implemented duplication checks as soft CI gates at two companies, but neither solved the problem. I narrowed it down to 3 compounding issues: - agent context decays over a long session and skills or instructions become less reliable - CI is way too late for such feedback and sof…

I built JustReceiveEmail because I don't want data collectors tracking my online activity through my email address. The idea is simple: use a different email address whenever you sign up for something, while still being able to keep that address and receive emails from it later. Privacy was the main goal. Incoming emails are encrypted before being stored, no tracking/logging is used, and the service tries to collect as little data as possible. Only a username is required to create an account. There are no ads or trackers. Instead, it costs a small fee to help keep the service running. I'd lov…
