Show HN: Sash – tiny macOS utility to reliably cycle through app windows https://bit.ly/4cicPjc

Show HN: Sash – tiny macOS utility to reliably cycle through app windows macOS's built-in cycle window shortcut (⌘` / ⌘@) has always been flaky for me. Probably not a Show HN, but if it annoyed me this much it might be annoying some others. Only tested on the latest macOS — would appreciate any reports from other versions. https://bit.ly/4eddVPU April 11, 2026 at 12:02AM

Show HN: SmolVM – open-source sandbox for coding and computer-use agents https://bit.ly/4tD1tNQ

Show HN: SmolVM – open-source sandbox for coding and computer-use agents SmolVM is an open-source local sandbox for AI agents on macOS and Linux. I started building it because agent workflows need more than isolated code execution. They need a reusable environment: write files in one step, come back later, snapshot state, pause/resume, and increasingly interact with browsers or full desktop environments. Right now SmolVM is a Python SDK and CLI focused on local developer experience. Current features include: - local sandbox environments - macOS and Linux support - snapshotting - pause/resume - persistent environments across turns Install: ``` curl -sSL https://bit.ly/4edpkzh | bash smolvm ``` I’d love feedback from people building coding agents or computer-use agents. Interested in what feels missing, what feels clunky, and what you’d expect from a sandbox like this. https://bit.ly/4ckmAxC April 10, 2026 at 01:01AM

Show HN: I built Dirac, Hash Anchored AST native coding agent, costs -64.8 pct https://bit.ly/4cuJeo9

Show HN: I built Dirac, Hash Anchored AST native coding agent, costs -64.8 pct Fully open source, a hard fork of cline. Full evals on the github page that compares 7 agents (Cline, Kilo, Ohmypi, Opencode, Pimono, Roo, Dirac) on 8 medium complexity tasks. Each task, each diff and correctness + cost info on the github Dirac is 64.8% cheaper than the average of the other 6. https://bit.ly/4t0sefg April 9, 2026 at 01:06PM

Show HN: CSS Studio. Design by hand, code by agent https://bit.ly/48qpGPl

Show HN: CSS Studio. Design by hand, code by agent Hi HN! I've just released CSS Studio, a design tool that lives on your site, runs on your browser, sends updates to your existing AI agent, which edits any codebase. You can actually play around with the latest version directly on the site. Technically, the way this works is you view your site in dev mode and start editing it. In your agent, you can run /studio which then polls (or uses Claude Channels) an MCP server. Changes are streamed as JSON via the MCP, along with some viewport and URL information, and the skill has some instructions on how best to implement them. It contains a lot of the tools you'd expect from a visual editing tool, like text editing, styles and an animation timeline editor. https://bit.ly/4t4hwoe April 9, 2026 at 12:23PM

Show HN: LadderRank: Rank anything with ELO ratings https://bit.ly/4c0ocxC

Show HN: LadderRank: Rank anything with ELO ratings I built a pairwise ranking platform on Cloudflare Workers. You get two items, pick the better one, and ELO ratings sort out the rest. No more tier list arguments. Let the votes decide. I seeded it with a "Best Programming Language" ladder to settle the debate once and for all: https://bit.ly/3NVnRDb The stack: Hono + D1 + R2 on Cloudflare Workers, React frontend on Pages, Drizzle ORM. Anyone can create their own ladder and share it. Anonymous voting works too (at reduced weight). Curious to see what HN thinks is the best language, and whether the ELO rankings match your priors. https://bit.ly/4mjzuk0 April 9, 2026 at 01:47AM

Show HN: Gemma Gem – AI model embedded in a browser – no API keys, no cloud https://bit.ly/4bSrfYy

Show HN: Gemma Gem – AI model embedded in a browser – no API keys, no cloud Gemma Gem is a Chrome extension that loads Google's Gemma 4 (2B) through WebGPU in an offscreen document and gives it tools to interact with any webpage: read content, take screenshots, click elements, type text, scroll, and run JavaScript. You get a small chat overlay on every page. Ask it about the page and it (usually) figures out which tools to call. It has a thinking mode that shows chain-of-thought reasoning as it works. It's a 2B model in a browser. It works for simple page questions and running JavaScript, but multi-step tool chains are unreliable and it sometimes ignores its tools entirely. The agent loop has zero external dependencies and can be extracted as a standalone library if anyone wants to experiment with it. https://bit.ly/4m9Rw8a April 6, 2026 at 01:14AM
