Show HN: Wikihack – HackerTube, but for Wikipedia articles mentioned on HN https://bit.ly/4AbxKiC

Show HN: Wikihack – HackerTube, but for Wikipedia articles mentioned on HN After seeing Karpathy's Hackertube and Hackerbooks, I just had to make Wikihack. I scraped all mentions of wikipedia on hackernews and ranked them, and turn them into a scrollable feed to make it a bit more easy to digest / interact with. You can see where people submitted the articles and where people mentioned it in comments. The top shows the most frequently linked articles. Random is random but slightly weighted towards the more frequently linked articles (a little bit like Wikipedia actually). Rising is ranked towards the past 12 months. The entire site is served only through the frontend -- I'll add more features if people enjoy this! https://bit.ly/4yWDdZp November 2, 2026 at 06:06AM

Show HN: Vela, a New Linux Desktop Environment https://bit.ly/4iiJFVH

Show HN: Vela, a New Linux Desktop Environment Hi, take a look at this. I didn't like KDE nor KDE Themes, so I made Vela, a new stacking desktop environment, and even though this is not very inspired in terms of aesthetic, this is not the point of Vela (not yet). Point of Vela is mostly architecture: Vulkan 1.4 only, no OpenGL fallback; based on wlroots, but has a custom renderer. GPL3 license. Vela is currently at 0.1.0 beta after one month of Alpha testing. Tested and working both on AMD and Nvidia. Requirements: a GPU and driver with Vulkan 1.4 support. I’m looking for people to try it on their hardware and report issues, and for contributors. Thanks code: https://bit.ly/4sAJcBr https://bit.ly/4klziBK November 1, 2026 at 01:36AM

Show HN: BBRouter – Ben Eater's 8-bit computer, simulated on 3D breadboards https://bit.ly/4zlb2nX

Show HN: BBRouter – Ben Eater's 8-bit computer, simulated on 3D breadboards Hi HN, I kept wiring Ben Eater's 8-bit computer wrong, so I built a realistic virtual breadboard editor. Some of the nice features are side-by-side diff, scope, schematics auto-sync, auto-router (BBRouter stands for breadboard router), and my favorites: upload from the real Arduino IDE and connect to your AI with MCP, let Claude & co build it or help you troubleshoot. The link is the SAP-1 running. You can orbit it, probe a hole with the scope, slow the clock down, play with the virtual displays for debugging, then you can actually build it following the step-by-step instructions. A side-goal is to create a community, there are quite a lot of simulators out there but mostly offline / too abstract to realistically use it for a real build. I also never found one that had a decent UI/UX and worked well on mobile or with a trackpad. Happy to answer anything, and tell me what breaks. p.s. Maker plan is $7/month; code HACKERNEWS makes the first month free and then $5/month for as long as you keep it. https://bit.ly/4eDjyGA November 1, 2026 at 01:10AM

Show HN: I got tired of travel spreadsheets so I made a travel planner app https://bit.ly/4yPMWAH

Show HN: I got tired of travel spreadsheets so I made a travel planner app Hey everyone! I couldn't find an app to organize trips that gave me all the info I wanted to schedule each stop per day, with travel times, leeway, etc, so I made Wherewhen. The basic differentiator is that you can set various constraints (e.g. "I want to spend 2 hours in the park", or "I have a dinner reservation at 6"), and Wherewhen will automatically adjust the rest of the times to tell you when to go/leave each place, including travel. I've tried to make it mobile-friendly but travel planning is pretty complicated and it's a bit clunky on mobile. Feedback is appreciated! https://bit.ly/4yNySaK October 29, 2026 at 11:37AM

Show HN: Pure Particles, an open source art particle toy built with Three.js Hi HN, I’m Romain, a designer from France. I’m trying to build a tool to make art with code. This is the first piece. Drop any image and the particles take its colours. You can record a clip of the result. Built with three.js. Free and open source Feedback welcome. https://bit.ly/4ikivwd October 29, 2026 at 07:57AM

Show HN: Fabivo – Furniture design from a photo to a numbered cut list https://bit.ly/4sOSzxT

Show HN: Fabivo – Furniture design from a photo to a numbered cut list Hello all, Ive been building Fabivo, a free furniture planner that runs in the browser. You sketch it simply by drawing it, (by far my favorite feature of this app), clicking for boards or just selecting some starting designs. But what i think separates fabivo from others its the image to model ai assistant, which took me a looong time to develop and get some quirks fixed, thanks god latest models are focusing on 3d, thats been helping too! The photo part is an image to JSON CAD harness: the model returns a parametric furniture model in mm that the app can build and edit. That harness is also what i benchmark, and honestly its the reason the app exists. I wanted to see if a photo could turn into a plan i could take to the saw. Also finetuned some image models and found interesting stuff, that was a first. My intention was to basically reuse the drawing feature to convert a 2d line sketch from image models like gpt image / nano banana to my parametric model, which "worked", and was actually thinking of using that for prod, but then cheaper/better models at 3d launched, but anyways, i learned a lot! Im getting better performance from my harness than from plain 3js, tho this is anecdotally and havent actually benchmarked it... Happy to answer anything, especially about the harness or the cut order. edit: Adding the numbers, missed them. 17 photos of real furniture, three models, same harness, medium reasoning, same tools. Scored on how close the returned structure and boards are to the gold model, so its my own set. (tho i have a hard time making a good scoring metric... just usually go by look!) Model (medium reasoning) Avg. time / photo Avg. input tokens / photo Avg. output tokens / photo Avg. tool calls / photo GPT-6.1 Terra 9.5 s 30,409 632 1.06 Claude Sonnet 5.5 13.6 s 50,167 1,592 1.18 Claude Haiku 5.5 34.9 s 66,786 6,658 2.35 Terra was both cheaper per photo and the most consistent to my likings. Sonnet was close on quality, Haiku needed way more tool calls to get there. https://bit.ly/4jRTTO1 October 29, 2026 at 06:21AM

Show HN: ADRs for AI – Deliberation records for human–AI work, versioned in Git https://bit.ly/4BJa8DB

Show HN: ADRs for AI – Deliberation records for human–AI work, versioned in Git Why is this worth your time? Essentially, this solves two problems of AI-assisted programming: (a) the first problem is how to do oversight and what do oversight of and this is solved through the ORRCF (for Options, Recommendation, Rationale, Confidence, Falsifier) question format (in which models are supposed to surface all their doubts with fully fleshed out recommendations, with falsifier, to be approved or overridden) (b) the second problem is how to scaffold sustainable AI-written code; the ADRs (Architectural Deliberation Records, after Nygard's decision records) written by the models, summarize all the thought process involved in any design decision and provides the blueprint for the code. In tandem, the records provide both the reason why certain non-obvious design choices were made, from a constant, to a library choice, to an ordering in an operation; and also under what conditions different decisions would be made, for instance, in a different platform, or under different latency requirements, or for a different audience, and so on. This is a framework I've been working for over a year, that is the starting point of all my projects. It involves a lot of moving parts and my challenge is figuring out onboarding. I'm hoping the plugin, ADRs4AI/plugins, just created and now also submitted to Anthropic's marketplace, will make it easier. I am also in the process of recording introductory videos. I would like feedback on the onboarding, on what you make of the currently online materials, and how I could make any of this clearer. Thanks! https://bit.ly/3W76mDv October 25, 2026 at 01:43AM
