Show HN: Armorer – A secure local control plane for AI agents https://bit.ly/4f3W7Hu

Show HN: Armorer – A secure local control plane for AI agents Hey HN, I built Armorer because I was tired of two things: 1. The absolute "dependency hell" of setting up new AI agents (Codex, OpenClaw, etc.). 2. The security risk of giving powerful local agents broad access to my host machine. Armorer is a secure local control plane that manages the lifecycle of your agents. It uses Docker for true process isolation and provides a unified UI/CLI for monitoring and job tracking. One feature I’m particularly excited about: you can point an existing coding agent at the Armorer repo, and it will autonomously install and configure the entire stack for you securely. Source: https://bit.ly/4cZsdTv Website: https://bit.ly/3ONr08A I’d love to hear your thoughts on the architecture and how you're handling agent security locally. May 8, 2026 at 01:38AM

Show HN: Dreamwork – a job search site I made after Indeed fired my pregnant wif https://bit.ly/4tVTzjf

Show HN: Dreamwork – a job search site I made after Indeed fired my pregnant wif Hey, I’m Colin and I have a fun story for you. My 7 month pregnant wife was laid off from Indeed (she was a PM there) back in December. This pissed me off quite a bit, as she was supposed to get 6 months leave and instead got fired. So I spent the last five months working part time to build Dreamwork, a platform aiming to make the job search experience actually better with AI (not just mass application spam). I started with just a telegram bot doing scraping, then advanced to Google Embeddings 2.0 for vectorizing the jobs, built out a tight 6 axis scorecard for both the user and each job. Then I actually got to use my English degree (lol) to optimize the prompt for custom per-job resumes and cover letters to make them not sound like - again - shitty AI. Most AI cover letters have a kind of consistently dead quality. They use all the keywords and somehow communicate nothing. I absolutely hate that, so I’ve been fairly obsessive about making the output feel more like a decent human draft: specific but restrained, and not stuffed with keywords. It is now useful enough that I think strangers can try it and find serious value. What it does today: - indexes ~100k curated tech jobs - tries to avoid stale/duplicate aggregator garbage - uses semantic matching instead of only keyword search - generates an “application pack” for each job: tailored resume, cover letter, and answers to common/custom questions - lets the user edit everything before applying - helps keep track of saved jobs and generated materials Auto apply is the part I’m conflicted about. I do t think blindly spraying applications is good for the candidates (chance of hiring is already low, even with hard work and customization), recruiters (they’re swamped), or the world (we don’t need more slop). I’ll build auto apply out in some format, but I want to be thoughtful about it. I also built out a whole research section to map out layoffs and hiring trends. This will start to be super useful in a month or two. Anyways - it’s all free to use right now. Built originally out of spite, now becoming a real product. I’d love to get feedback on what elements would truly make this the career companion you’re looking for. Not - resume spray and pray platform, but something that will actually help you navigate this insane hiring economy we’re in.

Show HN: I indexed 8,643 BSides talks across 227 chapters and 6 continents https://bit.ly/4tQWbyL

Show HN: I indexed 8,643 BSides talks across 227 chapters and 6 continents Hi HN, I'm Roland, and for the past few weeks, I've been building AllBSides — a directory of every BSides conference talk uploaded to YouTube. As of today, 8,643 talks from 5,927 speakers across 227 chapters in 68 countries. Combined runtime is 280 days. The transcripts come to about 60 million words. The archive came together in stages: 1. Manually map every BSides chapter's YouTube channel 2. Pull every video and transcript from Supabase 3. Run each transcript through Haiku for tag extraction (tools, topics, difficulty, team, talk style, research method, and much more) 4. Run results through Sonnet for categorization and dedup 5. Final pass goes through Opus for verification 6. Do a manual verification - at one time, the pipeline showed over 16k AI suggestions for manual verification. Today, most are resolved. Total LLM cost so far: about €200. The whole pipeline is rebuildable from scratch. Each talk gets its own page with embedded video, full transcript, speakers, tags, and "related talks." Each tool/framework/protocol/standard mentioned across the corpus gets its own page (3,968 distinct technologies tracked). Some interesting facts I gathered while building it: -(A) The site is currently 94% bot traffic. Of that, about 80,000 hits/month are AI training crawlers (ClaudeBot, GPTBot, meta-externalagent). Within 7 days of the talks archive going live, all major AI labs had ingested the entire corpus. The discovery cascade was startling to watch in real time. -(B) The taxonomy work was the hardest part. Distinguishing "tools" from "frameworks" from "protocols" from "concepts" sounds easy until you have 5,000 ambiguous extracted entities. The 3-tier LLM pipeline helped a lot — Haiku alone was too noisy, Opus alone was too expensive. -(C) Top tools mentioned: Wireshark (343), PowerShell (342), Metasploit (332), Burp Suite (322), GitHub (296), VirusTotal (273), Docker (253), Splunk (251), Nmap (247), MITRE ATT&CK (237). The list reflects what BSides talks actually discuss, not what vendors curate. -(D) May is the peak BSides month — 29 events, 17% of all events with dates. -(E) The top 1% of talks (86 videos by view count) account for 51% of all viewership. The other 99% are deeply niche, often the only video record of a specific technique. The stack is intentionally lean: Go, SQLite, vanilla JavaScript, BunnyCDN. Static rendering at build time. No frameworks, no client-side state. The site costs about €50/month to run. The data behind this post and much more can be found in the site footer, under the link "stats". Happy to answer questions about the data pipeline, the taxonomy decisions, or what the AI crawler patterns looked like as the archive went live. Feedback on what to build next is genuinely welcome — I'm a solo dev figuring this out as I go. — Roland (parkado) https://bit.ly/4tPx930 May 4, 2026 at 11:10PM

Show HN: Kula – a family health platform that makes sense of your data https://bit.ly/4tQmIfS

Show HN: Kula – a family health platform that makes sense of your data My parents are in India, I'm in the US. Their health system was continuous WhatsApp photos of lab reports, vague updates over the phone, and me finding out about doctor visits weeks later. So I built Kula. Upload lab reports (photo, PDF, WhatsApp forward) and it have them parsed and track trends. Connect a wearable and track daily health signals as well as your baselines. Everything goes into one record you can search and review over time. There's a chat layer where you can ask questions in plain language like, "what's my dad's cholesterol trend showing", and get a sourced answer from your own data. Primarily built it for my family. My parents told me they'd use it even without me, just to have their records organized before doctor visits. That truly changed how I think about it. Looking for feedback on this platform. Would you use this? What are your thoughts? What's missing? https://bit.ly/4cP9HNA May 4, 2026 at 05:40AM

Show HN: Use an Android Phone as an HTTP Proxy https://bit.ly/4upfSNZ

Show HN: Use an Android Phone as an HTTP Proxy I created a simple project to allow you to use a phone as a web proxy. This is not a proxy for the phone, its a way to proxy web traffic from elsewhere via the phone. One practical use case is accessing geo-restricted content. If you have a trusted contact in the country with an Android phone, this can serve as a simple alternative to a commercial VPN. To set it up you need to run a proxy server which can run as a docker container. You then need to install the app on the Android phone which will connect to the server. Finally you configure a browser to use the proxy server as the HTTP/HTTPS proxy.
