Hello everyone!After a few months of working on it in my free time, I just launched my biggest project since I started learning programming in August 2024.It’s called Stressio, and it’s a tool designed for companies, especially managers. Employees can anonymously log their stress levels, and managers get a heatmap showing which months are the most stressful. This helps teams identify patterns and take action where needed.There are still some features I want to add, but they’ll come in future updates.Link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stressio.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stressio.dev</a>

This is such a ridiculous hack. A friend with an iphone sent a text to my Android reading:Like: &quot;I&#x27;m thinking of a number&quot;Google&#x27;s Messages app interpreted this as:to &quot;I&#x27;m thinking of a number&quot;I was like, who are you responding to?!It took a minute of total miscommunication to realize that Messages must be just using the first six characters to decide if something is a &quot;like&quot; command

Hi everyone, I&#x27;m Aman, the creator of DenseWiki.org.DenseWiki is an experimental deep reading tool.It aims to amplify human ability to read hard content (research papers, technical articles etc) OUTSIDE our expertise, by rapidly learning new disciplines on the fly.Here&#x27;s the key idea (as demonstrated in the video on the website):When you read something in a new discipline (let&#x27;s say a paper using AI for biochem, and you nothing about biochem), the challenge is jumping right into an OCEAN of knowledge. You&#x27;re prone to feel lost and overwhelmed.DenseWiki&#x27;s approach is that using the browser extension, if you come across any jargon, it identifies the ONLY few relevant concepts &#x2F; knowledge you need at that moment, help you quickly become familiar with those few concepts with one click, and let you continue reading.So as you read, you&#x27;re able to INCREMENTALLY build your familiarity with the new field and SMOOTHLY expand your knowledge graph, without getting lost — and you&#x27;re able to engage with the content you want from day 1!Furthermore, it uses gamification to help you build a consistent deep reading habit.It also simultaneously builds a global knowledge graph — i.e. if you identify a novel concept introduced in a paper that came out only yesterday, you can add it to DenseWiki immediately. So as more people use it, it can become more current than any LLM or blog or web encyclopedia over time.Looking forward to feedback.P.S. You&#x27;ll have to download a browser extension, but if you don&#x27;t want to sign up, you can log into this test account directly:Email: team+hn@densewiki.orgPassword: HACKERNEWS

We wanted to run multiple AI coding assistants in parallel and swap models easily (Claude Code, local, Codex, etc.) without messing with the current branch.DevSwarm is a mac&#x2F;windows desktop app that runs assistants on separate git branches so you can stay in the loop and compare&#x2F;merge safely. Not an IDE, an Augmented Development Environment (ADE); open any branch in your IDE with a click.
We’ve been dogfooding it for months, including DevSwarm. Try it in minutes: download, open a repo, start two assistants. Free beta.

Hey everyone,I just launched Astrae v2, a library of modern Next.js landing page templates and animated components.The goal is to make it easier for developers and designers to build beautiful, production-ready sites fast, without spending hours on layout, animations, or responsiveness.What’s new in v2:• More templates (landing pages, SaaS, portfolio, etc.)
• Polished UI with Framer Motion animations
• Design Figma files
• Copy-paste ready components (cards, hero sections, pricing tables, etc.)
• Improved code quality for easier customizationThis started as a personal project for my client work, but it’s grown into something I wanted to share with the community. I’d love your feedback, what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to see in future updates.To celebrate launch day, I’m running a 20% discount (today only)
Use code CF59AP at checkout.Thanks for checking it out.

After trying to find a ui Library which works which works well with Expo and react native web. I decided to create my own.Cross platform: iOS, Andriod, and the web with Windows and macOS support on the way.Our components are accessible on Native and the web. To achieve web accesibility we use react-ariaThis is what differentiates us even beyond shadcn&#x2F;ui! Our components include extra variants so you can adjust error, loading, borderRadius, and style without writing any extra tailwind.Storybook: We have included a storybook to let you play with all the variants.Tested: We write unit tests for all the components to ensure they are working as expected.Customizable: You own the code and the implementation. You can customize anything you want.Get a live demo with storybook here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;main--68af7af75f72e5521a7e0f93.chromatic.com&#x2F;?path=&#x2F;docs&#x2F;welcome--docs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;main--68af7af75f72e5521a7e0f93.chromatic.com&#x2F;?path=&#x2F;...</a>

I kept re-Googling the same flags, so I built a tiny, fast directory of copy-ready CLI commands. It’s static (vanilla JS), instant search, keyboard nav (↑&#x2F;↓ + Enter), favorites (localStorage), and linkable queries.Examples:• grep errors → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;?q=grep%20error%20logs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;?q=grep%20error%20logs</a>• list open ports (macOS) → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;?q=list%20open%20ports" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;?q=list%20open%20ports</a>• show git branch graph → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;?q=git%20graph" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;?q=git%20graph</a>• tail with colors → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;?q=tail%20colors" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;?q=tail%20colors</a>Tech notes: static site on Netlify, no build system. Data is a JSON file; favorites persist via localStorage. Search is client-side; queries are linkable with ?q= and you can filter favorites with fav=1. Dangerous commands show a confirm before copying. Headers (HSTS, nosniff) + sitemap&#x2F;robots are set.Planned next: more commands&#x2F;recipes (docker, systemctl, networking), offline PWA, and a simple import&#x2F;export for favorites.Suggest a missing command: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;submit.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greppers.com&#x2F;submit.html</a>I’m looking for gaps and better real-world examples.

Hey HN! I’m Robert. I worked on [Percy’s SDKs&#x2F;support from 2018–2022.](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;percy&#x2F;cli&#x2F;graphs&#x2F;contributors" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;percy&#x2F;cli&#x2F;graphs&#x2F;contributors</a>) If you ever reached out to support or opened an issue, I probably helped you. Hopefully it was positive :) After a few years away, visual testing still felt stuck, so I&#x27;m building Vizzly.The problem: Design handoffs kinda suck. Designers make beautiful specs, devs implement them, then everyone realizes the details got lost somewhere. Current visual testing tools catch broken CSS but miss the real issue - making sure what ships actually matches what was designed, functionally (like really in the browser&#x2F;OS&#x2F;etc).What it is- Visual testing + review where you send actual screenshots (not DOM re-renders). Can be _any_ image to review (PDFS!)- Collaboration built-in: reviewer assignment, approvals, @mentions, screenshot-level threads.- Baselines: automatic (Git-aware), manual (not Git-based), or hybrid.- Team-based pricing; generous free plan for OSS; on-prem available.What’s different- Capture-first: use the pixels your app produced (no “but it doesn’t look like that on my machine&#x2F;CI”).- Local TDD + CI parity: run locally with instant feedback; same flow in CI.- Custom properties to filter&#x2F;slice reviews (component, viewport, theme, etc).Try it quickly (Playwright example)```npm i -D @vizzly-testing&#x2F;cliexport VIZZLY_TOKEN=your-token# in your tests:import { vizzlyScreenshot } from &#x27;@vizzly-testing&#x2F;cli&#x27;;let img = await page.screenshot({ fullPage: true });await vizzlyScreenshot(&#x27;homepage-layout&#x27;, img);```I would love feedback on everything! Rough edges you hit using the product&#x2F;sdk, baseline expectations across branches, what you need for design&#x2F;dev review to feel “done”, etc. Features like root cause analysis, an MCP, and more collab features are coming. But it&#x27;s just me building :pI&#x27;m a big fan of OSS, so the OSS plan is pretty generous (10 seats + 10 review seats (20 total), unlimited public projects, 75GB, 6 concurrent builds). If it&#x27;s not generous enough for teams, I&#x27;m willing to up it!This is my first time launching anything like this, I&#x27;m super keen on getting feedback and working any support or suggestions folks have. If anyone knew me from my support at Percy, I _really_ enjoy those conversations and opportunities to ship a fix or feature at the end of a chat. If Vizzly isn&#x27;t it for your team, I wanna know why and what I can do to help you.Backstory + screenshots from my intro blog post:

I spent the weekend working with Claude Code to build out a CLI script that can take a google sheet that has input tabs, output tabs, and processing tabs (which is the way I tend to build them), and write a python or typescript&#x2F;javascript file that will do the same logic as the google sheet does. The general use case for this is allowing non-software-developers (e.g., finance professionals, actuaries, scientists) to build out data processing logic, and then be able to run it more quickly&#x2F;effectively than using the google sheets API.I&#x27;m not sure how niche this is, and I am still testing it out with ever-more-complicated sheets, but so far it&#x27;s been surprisingly effective for me. Happy to get any comments&#x2F;thoughts&#x2F;suggestions&#x2F;etc.

Tony here.Over the past year (and post covid), more and more companies have been rolling back their remote work policies:- 75% of US employees were required to be in-office regularly in late 2024 (up from 63% in 2023).
- 48% of UK employers now expect full on-site attendance, compared to just 27% in 2023.But the thing is employees still overwhelmingly want flexible or fully remote work.I can&#x27;t think of anything more soul destroying than losing hours every day sitting in traffic just to get to and from the office.Here&#x27;s the good news: plenty of companies are still committed to remote work. The hard part is figuring out who they are.So that&#x27;s why I built <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.remoteweek.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.remoteweek.io</a>.

Hello HN,I made this simple notepad for writing down whatever comes to mind. The goal is to force you to not get hung up on what you’ve already written. There’s no formatting, you can’t edit what you’ve typed, you can’t select text or move your caret around. There’s no backspace, delete, undo&#x2F;redo, or paste. You can’t even see any words except the one you’re currently typing, and when you’re done with it, it fades away.The text is all still there, just invisible. You can save everything you’ve written as a .txt if you want, or just empty your thoughts and let them disappear forever.The idea was to encourage myself to do more stream-of-consciousness writing. I tend to edit while I write. This forces me to just keep moving forward, and I’ve found it very helpful so far. I was going to build this into my other writing tool, Drift, but I didn’t think it fit with the idea of the project, so I just made it its own thing. I’m calling it Vapor for now.Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
