Show HN: I made a script that gives me fake calls to escape boring moments https://bit.ly/4gi7Xwd

Show HN: I made a script that gives me fake calls to escape boring moments I built a little script that gives me a fake phone call to escape boring and awkward situations. I bought a virtual number from twilio and saved it as one of my relatives. Whenever I feel stuck, I just tap a button called “ESCAPE” on my phone. It sends a request to my remote server. The server runs a small Python script which schedules an actual call. After a minute, my phone rings and plays a pre-recorded audio. I simply say “sorry, I’m getting a call” and walk away. A tiny project, but it has saved me so many times. Script - https://bit.ly/46bfaJP September 11, 2025 at 12:07PM

Show HN: Enter a Topic, receive a language learning curriculum with videos https://bit.ly/3Kf6QBo

Show HN: Enter a Topic, receive a language learning curriculum with videos Hi HN, I've built this for use in a language learning app, but you can use it without an app, since it's based around Youtube videos. The main idea is to give you a structured learning plan with content that you care about, to keep you engaged. I know it's hard to stay on track when learning a language, so I'm hoping this will help people stay consistent and build a habit. I was surprised yesterday when one user entered "rugby and food" as their interest (learning French), and the first video is actually a video about rugby AND food in French. There's no limit to the breadth of content on Youtube! (Although I have to admit, it is a bit lucky that this exact video exists) https://bit.ly/466JhSA Hope you find it interesting! https://bit.ly/46kMXAp September 11, 2025 at 09:29AM

Show HN: Project Chimera – Hybrid AI Agent Combining LLM, Symbolic, and Causal https://bit.ly/46cSbxV

Show HN: Project Chimera – Hybrid AI Agent Combining LLM, Symbolic, and Causal Over the past few months, I’ve been building Project Chimera — a prototype AI agent that integrates three reasoning paradigms into a single decision-making system: - Neuro (LLM) for creative strategy generation - Symbolic for enforcing business rules and safety constraints - Causal for predicting the long-term impact of actions I tested this hybrid agent in a 52-week realistic e-commerce simulation with dynamics such as price elasticity, brand trust, ad ROI, and competitor effects. Key results: - Outperformed LLM-only and LLM+Symbolic baselines - Avoided catastrophic losses by simulating long-term causal impact - Achieved nearly 2× profit improvement through periodic causal retraining Resources: - Live demo: https://bit.ly/41Krpfd - GitHub: https://bit.ly/41Krq2L I’d appreciate feedback from the HN community — especially on methodology, experiment design, and potential real-world applications beyond e-commerce. https://bit.ly/41Krq2L September 9, 2025 at 09:38PM

Show HN: Attempt – A CLI for retrying fallible commands https://bit.ly/3JRFp0x

Show HN: Attempt – A CLI for retrying fallible commands Hi HN, Here's a tool I wrote for retrying fallible commands. Nothing groundbreaking here, this is a tool that's been made many times (and several have been submitted to Show HN). Though this one does have a more comprehensive feature set than most. I hope one or two people will find it useful. I wrote `attempt` for two reasons: - To have a more featureful alternative to `wait-for-it.sh` for use in Docker Compose. Specifically to apply migration scripts to a database that may not be up yet. I wanted to be able to inspect the error messages from my migration tool & retry on connection errors. - To test a hypothesis I had that a good way to make a CLI was to copy the API of a good library (in this case, `tenacity`). I want to write a blog post at some point to discuss this at length, but the tl;dr is that I believe it was a success. Here are some usage examples: https://bit.ly/46uBpvG There may not be much to discuss for such a small tool, but I am open to all feedback and am happy to answer any questions. Cheers, Max https://bit.ly/4ptrjTs September 9, 2025 at 02:37AM

Show HN: Shadcn-native shadcn UI for React Native https://bit.ly/4pdJGLX

Show HN: Shadcn-native shadcn UI for React Native 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-aria This is what differentiates us even beyond shadcn/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 https://bit.ly/46tB78g... https://bit.ly/4pdgl4b September 8, 2025 at 05:58PM

Show HN: GoSocket – A Simple WebSocket Framework for Go https://bit.ly/42lq9zc

Show HN: GoSocket – A Simple WebSocket Framework for Go Hi HN, I built GoSocket, a small library that helps you set up WebSocket servers in Go with almost no boilerplate. It lets you start a server in a few lines of code, handle connections, broadcast to rooms or clients, and add middleware. JSON is supported now, Protobuf and MessagePack are planned. Example: ws := gosocket.NewServer() ws.WithPort(8080). WithPath("/ws"). OnMessage(func(c gosocket.Client, m gosocket.Message, ctx *gosocket.HandlerContext) error { c.Send(m.RawData) // echo return nil }) log.Fatal(ws.Start()) Repo: https://bit.ly/3VADyj9 It’s still pre-1.0, so I’d love feedback, testing, and contributions. https://bit.ly/3VADyj9 September 8, 2025 at 02:00AM

Show HN: Inception: Automatic Rust Trait Implementation by Induction https://bit.ly/4m5UqZP

Show HN: Inception: Automatic Rust Trait Implementation by Induction Hi HN, I thought this would be a good place to share a little puzzle I've been working on. Inception is a Rust library that helps you share behaviors in Rust using structural induction. Practically, this means that instead of having a derive macro for each behavior, a single derive can be used to enable any number of behaviors. It doesn't do this using runtime reflection, but rather type-level programming - so there is monomorphization across the substructures, and (at least in theory) no greater overhead than with macro expansion. While there are a lot of things missing still and the current implementation is very suboptimal, I'd say it proves the general concept for common structures. Examples of Clone/Eq/Hash/etc replicas implemented in this way are provided. The code is not idiomatic, which is my biggest reservation about continuing this work. It was fun to prove, but is not so fun to _improve_, as it feels a bit like swimming upstream. In any case I hope some of you find it interesting! https://bit.ly/4gaLgda September 6, 2025 at 05:01AM

Show HN: A credibility-based social platform (no Likes) to fight misinformation https://bit.ly/4lYibDa

Show HN: A credibility-based social platform (no Likes) to fight misinformation Most people now get their news from social feeds — but those feeds reward popularity, not accuracy. Misinformation spreads fast, and even well-intentioned users often can’t tell what’s reliable. I’ve been working on a different approach: a social/news platform where every post carries a credibility score. Instead of likes or shares, users assess posts by linking to supporting or refuting sources. Credibility then updates across posts, users, and domains in real time. A few things that might interest HN: - Anonymous/pseudonymous accounts (no personal brands driving popularity). - Credibility > virality: feeds are sorted by time & trustworthiness, not engagement. - URL and domain-level scoring: credibility of sources builds over time. - Four feeds: Front Page, Bullpen, Cred Desk, and Subscriptions (you can filter by credibility percentile). It’s in public beta here: https://bit.ly/3K61sjX Curious what HN thinks: - How might this system be gamed or abused? - What are your thoughts on pseudonymous usernames? - What would make it more useful for people who actually want reliable news? https://bit.ly/3K61sjX September 5, 2025 at 03:32AM
