Show HN: CtrlTool – 132 free online tools for developers and everyday tasks https://bit.ly/3UaDSrz

Show HN: CtrlTool – 132 free online tools for developers and everyday tasks Hey HN, I built CtrlTool because I kept needing small tools for random things and didn't want to install something or sign up for another website. It currently has 132 tools for things like JSON, JWT, Base64, URLs, text, hashes, PDFs, SEO, converters, generators, and other everyday stuff. The main thing I tried to focus on is making the tools fast and simple. For tools where it makes sense, everything runs locally in the browser so the data doesn't need to be uploaded to a server. It's still very new, so I'm mostly looking for feedback on the UX, which tools are actually useful, and what you think is missing. https://bit.ly/4gJaKAp Would appreciate any feedback. https://bit.ly/4gJaKAp August 23, 2026 at 02:44AM

Show HN: OzBrain, a shared brain for knowledge between agents and your team https://bit.ly/3ULYK8E

Show HN: OzBrain, a shared brain for knowledge between agents and your team I think agent-first chat interfaces will be a primary software modality and busy dashboard/UI will go away. I’m not sure who exactly wins it, but I want my knowledge to grow/go with me. A lot of the “knowledge” ie research, analysis, reasoning will be done by agents as the primary user. Our current notes tools & tasks management systems were built for humans… I don’t care what the 17th thing on my bug backlog is. I want to conduct agents that can execute for me and do great work. What I built OzBrain to do: + Create a central place for agent reasoned knowledge to live + Be agnostic about what apps/agents connect to it + Capture everything and track it so I can audit it + Enable teams, collaborators or partners to share brains + Handle conflicts so many agents in the same article doesn’t blow up + Refactor knowledge into more token friendly chunks and map the index well + Close the knowledge loop so new thinking supersedes old thinking across the corpus. Don’t erase, depreciate and link + Keep user data safe and secure ++ Be easy enough to use that you don’t have to have any technical knowledge Some among us will always build their own custom solutions, but there are millions of tech professionals and small business owners that will use agents heavily and need a solution. So I’m trying to build that. Isn’t this like gBrain? Yes, similar. I think it’s like AWS vs Vercel. AWS is very powerful, configurable, and useful if you’re technical and want to invest the time into really fine tuning your system… but if you just want your web deploy/hosting to just work and be easy to deal with you use Vercel. // WHY I MADE IT I’ve been enjoying getting back to my technical roots, as I lost my coding skills more than a decade ago, but with AI I can focus on the system and the product in partnership with agent coding workflows. I recently built a Voice AI for older people. To build it I created an agentic engineering workflow (feel free to rip that up as I’m always looking to improve systems: https://bit.ly/3UsGC3y ) My approach with coding agents is trust but verify, and I’m trying to replace the parts where a human would review with an adversarial or specialized agent who would give a better answer/review. I have workflows that will go high level task to shipped PR running in Claude cloud sessions. I use Claude Code locally and Cursor when I want a tighter loop on doing visual work like UI or layout. And Codex to either load balance usage for TokenThriffting or when I want a different llm to think thru something. It was a pain in the ass passing .md files around and keep track of which version was the most recent, so I built a hosted .md storage right in Supabase and any of my agents already have Supabase access. This let me build a solid, scalable, secure voice AI from my phone at the gym. All my agents have access to our knowledge, can write to it, update and refer to it as we build and improve the product and the systems we use. Out of 75 founder friends I asked about how they manage shared knowledge, 26 built their own custom knowledge systems… Obsidian vaults with 7k files synced through a VPS, markdown repos behind their own MCP servers, cron jobs stitching Supabase to a skills file… each a different Frankenstein they have to maintain. 32 said they felt the pain of moving static files around but didn’t have any solution for it. So I rebuilt my brain better and used it to build it. // HOW YOU CAN HELP Would love to have you try it out. The maintenance loop is still in alpha so not running it on customer data yet. If you built your own brain I’d love to hear how you did it. What criteria was most important for you in its design & function. If you are tired of shuffling .md files around I’d love to have you try out OzBrain and to give feedback, just ask your agent to put it in the shared bugs & features brain! Cheers!

Show HN: Linux and iPhone Continuity (iMessage / SMS) After switching to 100% Linux a couple of years ago there was basically only one thing I missed about macOS and that was what Apple calls "Continuity". It's where you get texts, notifications, clipboard sync, file transfer (to/from) the iPhone from the Mac desktop. Especially that thing where OTP codes via text autofilled into the browser form I was waiting on. It took about 4 months of work: - reverse-engineering Apple/iOS Bluetooth behavior - MAP / OBEX - Bluetooth LE + Wi-Fi working together - iMessage through the iPhone's own cellular/iMessage stack - iOS app, Linux daemon, GTK app, Thunderbird/Firefox extension - no Mac involved But it is now something I'd love to show people.

Show HN: Mail client optimized for self-hosted email across multiple domains As someone with a clean IP range and ADHD, I manage my inbox by splitting across a variety of accounts for a variety of domains. I’ve never really found a client that scratches all my itches, so I spent some time making one and it’s now become my daily driver. It’s optimised to be visually simple and highly configurable for things like colour, folders/subfolders, sorting and tweaking the search query function to better match what you search for often. There’s also some little nice-to-haves like a purpose-built PWA, bulk domain onboarding, MCP and dark mode. It’s fully self-hostable, open source and free of any AI bloat/VC fodder. Not trying to sell anything but rather make something un-shitified and simple to use, would love some feedback if you’ve given it a try! :~) https://bit.ly/4xdIHPw August 20, 2026 at 02:55AM

Show HN: A new way to read books, magnifying in and out https://bit.ly/4quXtyL

Show HN: A new way to read books, magnifying in and out After watching The Odyssey, I thought it would be cool to check out some scenes from the source in detail, but I don't have time to read the whole book. So I came up with a sort of zoom/microscope, that allows to see the whole book at a glance and then zoom in (by pinching) on the part I'm interested in. I can do so down to the actual source text and get the authentic feel the author intended, at the same time I better understand where am I in the text and also the character and places are clickable so I can quickly orient myself on the context. Moreover each character has relationships listed and a map of relationships can be opened from there https://bit.ly/4qthZzF https://bit.ly/4qtw1Bq August 19, 2026 at 11:21PM

Show HN: Draw.city – geography game where you circle the target population [US] https://bit.ly/4gfdV1d

Show HN: Draw.city – geography game where you circle the target population [US] The core idea is, you draw a circle on a satellite view map and it tells you the population inside + more info. The home page is a daily challenge, I've backfilled some "past challenges" so there's more than just the past couple of days to play, and there is also a free-draw mode that tells you population + some census demographic info & points-of-interest data from OpenStreetMap. In most cases, the data comes from taking the census blocks w/ centroids contained in your circle and summing their population. Demographic info is slightly more complex as it's not sourced on blocks, so we allocate population-weighted fractions of a source territory's published census values into the drawn territory. Happy to answer any questions about the data or the technical side. The game/app only covers US areas at the moment, I'd like to add international data in the future!

Show HN: Classifier and browser extension to detect rule violating HN comments I love HN, but lately I have been sick of reading the same dismissive criticisms over and over again. Along with political arguments that have been litigated to death, people's issues with smooth scrolling on blogs, etc. Many of these comments do not get flagged for whatever reason. So I made a service to automatically classify whether comments violate (a modified form of) the HN guidelines automatically. In addition there's a Chrome extension to collapse these comments (if they violate your score thresholds) so you don't have to read them too. You can also just watch guideline violating comments as they are posted on the home page. Here's more info on how it works: https://bit.ly/4ifpatb https://bit.ly/4zpdGtk August 17, 2026 at 05:04PM

Show HN: PageSieve, a web scraping browser extension https://bit.ly/45rF6B8

Show HN: PageSieve, a web scraping browser extension PageSieve[1] is a browser extension for scraping data from different websites from within your browser. Currently it's Firefox only but I am open to porting it to other browsers if that's something people want. My original motivation for this started with a desire to improve the capabilities of the selectorgadget[2] bookmarklet to support extracting as well as finding selectors. The ideal use case is when some data you need is useful but you don't want to spend the effort of writing a one-off script to extract it especially nowadays when a lot of websites need an entire JavaScript environment to load correctly which complicates scraping. Using this extension means you only need to maintain the selectors for extracting the data and don't need to worry about managing dependencies. As long as the website can be opened in your browser you should be able to scrape data from it using the extension. I have a lot of features planned as well as some rough edges that need smoothing. I use this extension nearly everyday and I hope it can make somebody else's work easier. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Show HN: Mocktail – Free, open-source mock API server with a built-in dashboard https://bit.ly/3RQ70DN

Show HN: Mocktail – Free, open-source mock API server with a built-in dashboard Hi HN, I built the first version of Mocktail years ago. I recently came back to the project, and after a pretty substantial rebuild, v4 is now out. Mocktail is a free and open-source, self-hosted mock API server with a built-in dashboard and database, packaged as a single ~25 MB binary. You can run it locally or on your own infrastructure — no account or hosted service required. You can define endpoints and responses, generate realistic data per request, customize headers, status codes and latency, and inspect incoming requests in real time. With v4, I also added MCP support, so coding agents can create and manage mocks directly, along with an optional built-in AI assistant using your own API key. Both are completely optional. It’s been fun coming back to something I built years ago and bringing it up to date. I’d love to hear what you think, especially anything you’d change or add. https://bit.ly/4ws1Iwg August 14, 2026 at 09:20PM

Show HN: Woxi - Open-source Mathematica / Wolfram Language reimplementation https://bit.ly/45iHz0H

Show HN: Woxi - Open-source Mathematica / Wolfram Language reimplementation Woxi is an interpreter for the Wolfram Language written in Rust. It comes with Woxi Studio, a Mathematica-like GUI built with iced, but you can also use Woxi through a CLI, Jupyter kernel, Python package, npm package, or WASM module. Compared with wolframscript / Mathematica, the main differences are: - Free and open source - Very fast startup - Typically milliseconds rather than seconds for the Wolfram kernel, making Woxi practical for shell scripts, one-liners, and other short-lived processes - Embeddable - It can run in a browser via WASM or be embedded into another application as a scripting language A more detailed comparison with Mathematica is available here: https://bit.ly/45jDf1h . Conformance is ensured with ~26'000 unit tests and ~900 .wls script snapshot tests. The current focus is on fixing remaining edge cases, improving performance, and growing the community. If you use the Wolfram Language, I'd be particularly interested in feedback on compatibility and missing functionality. Contributions and bug reports are also very welcome: https://bit.ly/4m3tg7n https://bit.ly/3StnUrW August 12, 2026 at 11:06AM

(Mostly an attempt for me to understand what everyone's talking about lately and also an attempt at staying up to date to current tech - career wise). It has: 1. 68 Lessons across 9 tracks, with a rust-from-zero ramp. 2. 8 rust labs - BPE tokenizer, KV block manager, radix cache, batching scheduler, a toy executor 3. 9 simulators running in browser (wasm) - roofline model, KV cache pressure, continuous batching dynamics 4. Fleet week - a simulated prod serving fleet All progresss is local - there is no server (it's served from github pages, repo here https://bit.ly/4woWdyr ) Feedback appreciated, and contributions welcome.

Show HN: Albedo – single-file listenable document database in Zig https://bit.ly/45lGaGC

Show HN: Albedo – single-file listenable document database in Zig It's literally an indexable BSON array with query listening, replication and basic crash recovery. While working on my little projects I always felt a need for some sort of simple storage, where I can just have a single file. However sqlite with its' schemas and migrations always felt icky, like an overkill to have a single file db, but a whole folder set for migrations. JSON files would require to be loaded all at once and for something small but thick, like microservices that would hold their own state this would be a startup time cost. So idea came initially as an "indexable and partially loadable json object array". From the very beginning I've wrote it in zig, unlike my other projects where I flip flop with implementation language, for the sole reason that I wanted to be able to use it in as many places as physically possible. So it was something on level of C\C++, Rust and Zig. C langs are awesome, but I genuinely didn't enjoy them. After initial tries Rust felt overbearing, so by method of exclusion I landed on the lizard lang. I've been working on it for about a year, all while learning zig, relearning working with memory and adding new features. This whole time I've been mainly comparing it to and learning so much from sqlite, and eventually, after tuning, I feel like the performance is close enough for me (at least in my very basic benchmarks on my laptop). Now it's my personal little engine I use in my mobile apps through flutter plugin, in my small backends using bun ffi \ node native modules. Would be cool if it would solve someone's else pains.

Show HN: CityEdit – Open-source map for voting on NYC street changes https://bit.ly/4bxZwvP

Show HN: CityEdit – Open-source map for voting on NYC street changes CityEdit (cityedit.org, https://bit.ly/4wf791E ) is a map where anyone can propose street changes, e.g. safer crossings, new bike lanes, improved tree beds. Neighbors can then vote on those proposals. We just soft launched the app by hanging posters with QR codes at NYC's statistically most dangerous intersections (from open crash data at https://bit.ly/4yZIccT... ). Read more at https://bit.ly/4wufqit... (A poster turns out to be a great distribution channel - it reaches exactly the people who use that street, when they are using it!) The ultimate lofty vision is to build a sensorimotor loop that can awaken a city's collective consciousness: the community perceives its desires, proposes, votes, acts. Two disclaimers: 1. A vote on a map is more of a signal than a mandate, and may be unlikely to inspire government action. Instead, for now, we are going to enact what changes we can through some cheeky tactical urbanism. ( https://bit.ly/45K5dTQ ) 2. There is selection and presentation bias inherent to how we've built this. Our aim is to be as transparent as possible about who is participating, and who is missing, rather than faking general consensus. We're also seeding maps with existing commute data to fill in gaps wherever we can (e.g. Citibike trip data on the NYC Bikes map) Critiques are welcome, especially skeptical takes on whether this type of civic feedback loop can work. But please be constructive too! https://bit.ly/4wK61Eh August 6, 2026 at 12:58AM

Well we've trained a model on our own dataset of ~50k human ratings to detect what jokes people find funniest. We know it's part objective, part subjective component. Subjective is out of our depth for now haha The main results: Fable 5 is funniest - beating the average model 67% of the time, with GPT 4o last at 17%. Other findings: - The models never refused to try, even with dark prompts - Thinking longer has a slight benefit - Absurdness correlates negatively with joke quality Some methodology notes: - We benchmarked our model against the human majority and it agreed 72% of the time in a blind sample test. - We had 51 US adults rate the jokes, each blind to the models, with joke order randomized, and quality checked for attention and speed. - To rate some yourself visit https://bit.ly/45GoLbJ The full benchmark here: https://bit.ly/4fHqzHw Am taking requests if there's more research you want to see!

Show HN: I built a free Open Graph image designer https://bit.ly/4wwxB7J

Show HN: I built a free Open Graph image designer I'm working in e-commerce for more than 15 years, and the OG images are still one of the mos neglected parts of a shop. On a few projects, even fairly simple product specific image improved the conversion from shared traffic, which is what originally led me to work on this problem. The new free tool is a browser based Open Graph image designer. You can choose a template, customize the content, add an image and download the OG image. It works without an account and manually uploaded images stay in the browser. There is also an optional checker for people who do not want to start from scratch. It can inspect your page and create an initial image proposal from its content, which you can then open and adjust in the designer. I would appreciate feedback on the templates and any customization options that feel missing and of course improvements. Thanks. https://bit.ly/4fNam26 August 1, 2026 at 11:30PM
