Show HN: WordBattle – Daily word game where AI agents compete against humans WordBattle is a daily 6-letter word guessing game with team leaderboards. The twist: AI agents get their own accounts, play the same daily puzzle, and rank alongside human players. It's also really fun to play in teams against your family, friends and co-workers. Agents are handicapped — humans see exact letter positions (correct/present/absent), but agents only learn whether a letter exists in the word or not. No positional info. It makes the game fair while giving agents a genuine challenge. Agent accounts are visually tagged on leaderboards so humans know who they're competing against. Maybe we'll even see just teams of agents. The agent integration: - REST API with OpenAPI 3.1 spec - MCP server (JSON-RPC 2.0, no SDK dependency) - A2A discovery card at /.well-known/agent-card.json We've shipped a skill that handles everything autonomously — registration, email verification, login, playing, and reporting results. Just `npx skills add oneonefourteam/wordbattle-skill` and tell your agent to play. The game itself: one puzzle per day, six guesses, team leaderboards with Slack/Microsoft Teams webhook integration. Free, no ads. oneonefour is a one person band, hi!, so the entire product was built using Claude Code — the UI, auth, security model, deployment pipeline, everything. Deliberately chose technologies I didn't know, with agents implementing while I guided the product decisions. I'll create a full technical write up in the near future.

Show HN: I turned a sketch into a 3D-print pegboard for my kid with an AI agent https://bit.ly/4tnBPge

Show HN: I turned a sketch into a 3D-print pegboard for my kid with an AI agent We have pegboards and plywood all over our apartment, and I had an idea to make a tiny pegboard for my kid, Oli. So I naturally cut the wood, drilled in the holes, sat down at the computer to open Fusion 360 and spend an hour or two drawing the pieces by hand. Then I looked at the rough sketch Oli and I had made together, took a photo of it, pasted it into Codex, and gave it just two dimensions: the holes are 40mm apart and the pegs are 8mm wide. To my surprise, 5 minutes later my 3D printer was heating up and printing the first set. I ran it a few times to tune the dimensions for ideal fit, but I am posting the final result as a repository in case anyone else wants to print one, tweak it, or have fun with it too. I am already printing another one to hang on our front door instead of a wreath, so people visiting us have something fun and intriguing to play with while they knock. This is also going onto my list of weird uses of AI from the last few months. https://bit.ly/4taIsSS March 31, 2026 at 12:20AM

Show HN: VizTools – 16 free tools for PMs and freelancers, deliberately no AI https://bit.ly/4cfQvaj

Show HN: VizTools – 16 free tools for PMs and freelancers, deliberately no AI I've been building AI products for a while. For this one I made a deliberate choice: none of the 16 tools use AI. Meeting cost calculators, freelance rate calculators, PRD generators, runway calculators, sprint retro boards — these problems don't need a language model. They need a well-designed form and correct arithmetic. Built on Nuxt 4 + Vue 3, fully static, runs in your browser. No account required to use anything. Optional Firebase auth only kicks in if you want to save output. Irony worth naming: Claude Code was my pair programmer throughout. The choice wasn't anti-AI — it was about using the right tool for the right problem. Happy to talk stack, the non-AI tradeoffs, or anything else. https://bit.ly/4bPwLd9 March 28, 2026 at 06:36AM

Show HN: Open Source 'Conductor + Ghostty' Our team works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini all day. We love Ghostty, but wanted something where we could work in multiple worktree at once and have multiple agents run. We decided to open source the internal team we use. Hope you might find it useful. Freel free to contribute or fork. * Cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Windows) all tested * MIT License Features: * Notifications, but also manual 'mark-as-unread) for worktrees (like Gmail stars) * Status indicators work for all terminals inside a wroktree * GH integrations (show PR status) and link GH issues * Can add comments to worktrees (stay organized) * File viewer, Search, diff viewer (can make edits + save) Note: Yeah there are "similar" programs out there, but this one is ours. But I'm happy if our software works for you too! https://bit.ly/4t8okkc March 27, 2026 at 11:26PM

Show HN: Sup AI, a confidence-weighted ensemble (52.15% on Humanity's Last Exam) https://bit.ly/4sAK3Bo

Show HN: Sup AI, a confidence-weighted ensemble (52.15% on Humanity's Last Exam) Hi HN. I'm Ken, a 20-year-old Stanford CS student. I built Sup AI. I started working on this because no single AI model is right all the time, but their errors don’t strongly correlate. In other words, models often make unique mistakes relative to other models. So I run multiple models in parallel and synthesize the outputs by weighting segments based on confidence. Low entropy in the output token probability distributions correlates with accuracy. High entropy is often where hallucinations begin. My dad Scott (AI Research Scientist at TRI) is my research partner on this. He sends me papers at all hours, we argue about whether they actually apply and what modifications make sense, and then I build and test things. The entropy-weighting approach came out of one of those conversations. In our eval on Humanity's Last Exam, Sup scored 52.15%. The best individual model in the same evaluation run got 44.74%. The relative gap is statistically significant (p < 0.001). Methodology, eval code, data, and raw results: - https://sup.ai/research/hle-white-paper-jan-9-2026 - https://github.com/supaihq/hle Limitations: - We evaluated 1,369 of the 2,500 HLE questions (details in the above links) - Not all APIs expose token logprobs; we use several methods to estimate confidence when they don't We tried offering free access and it got abused so badly it nearly killed us. Right now the sustainable option is a $5 starter credit with card verification (no auto-charge). If you don't want to sign up, drop a prompt in the comments and I'll run it myself and post the result. Try it at https://sup.ai . My dad Scott (@scottmu) is in the thread too. Would love blunt feedback, especially where this really works for you and where it falls short.

Show HN: Veil – Dark mode PDFs without destroying images, runs in the browser https://bit.ly/4c6B3OC

Show HN: Veil – Dark mode PDFs without destroying images, runs in the browser Hi HN! here's a tool I just deployed that renders PDFs in dark mode without destroying the images. Internal and external links stay intact, and I decided to implement export since I'm not a fan of platform lock-in: you can view your dark PDF in your preferred reader, on any device. It's a side project born from a personal need first and foremost. When I was reading in the factory the books that eventually helped me get out of it, I had the problem that many study materials and books contained images and charts that forced me, with the dark readers available at the time, to always keep the original file in multitasking since the images became, to put it mildly, strange. I hope it can help some of you who have this same need. I think it could be very useful for researchers, but only future adoption will tell. With that premise, I'd like to share the choices that made all of this possible. To do so, I'll walk through the three layers that veil creates from the original PDF: - Layer 1: CSS filter. I use invert(0.86) hue rotate(180deg) on the main canvas. I use 0.86 instead of 1.0 because I found that full inversion produces a pure black and pure white that are too aggressive for prolonged reading. 0.86 yields a soft dark grey (around #242424, though it depends on the document's white) and a muted white (around #DBDBDB) for the text, which I found to be the most comfortable value for hours of reading. - Layer 2: image protection. A second canvas is positioned on top of the first, this time with no filters. Through PDF.js's public API getOperatorList(), I walk the PDF's operator list and reconstruct the CTM stack, that is the save, restore and transform operations the PDF uses to position every object on the page. When I encounter a paintImageXObject (opcode 85 in PDF.js v5), the current transformation matrix gives me the exact bounds of the image. At that point I copy those pixels from a clean render onto the overlay. I didn't fork PDF.js because It would have become a maintenance nightmare given the length of the codebase and the frequent updates. Images also receive OCR treatment: text contained in charts and images becomes selectable, just like any other text on the page. At this point we have the text inverted and the images intact. But what if the page is already dark? Maybe the chapter title pages are black with white text? The next layer takes care of that. - Layer 3: already-dark page detection. After rendering, the background brightness is measured by sampling the edges and corners of the page (where you're most likely to find pure background, without text or images in the way). The BT.601 formula is used to calculate perceived brightness by weighting the three color channels as the human eye sees them: green at 58.7%, red at 29.9%, blue at 11.4%. These weights reflect biology: the eye evolved in natural environments where distinguishing shades of green (vegetation, predators in the grass) was a matter of survival, while blue (sky, water) was less critical. If the average luminance falls below 40%, the page is flagged as already dark and the inversion is skipped, returning the original page. Presentation slides with dark backgrounds stay exactly as they are, instead of being inverted into something blinding. Scanned documents are detected automatically and receive OCR via Tesseract.js, making text selectable and copyable even on PDFs that are essentially images. Everything runs locally, no framework was used, just vanilla JS, which is why it's an installable PWA that works offline too. Here's the link to the app along with the repository: https://bit.ly/40Z98Kh | https://bit.ly/4uVGXth I hope veil can make your reading more pleasant. I'm open to any feedback. Thanks everyone https://bit.ly/40Z98Kh March 26, 2026 at 12:47PM

Show HN: Optio – Orchestrate AI coding agents in K8s to go from ticket to PR https://bit.ly/4bxWNTl

Show HN: Optio – Orchestrate AI coding agents in K8s to go from ticket to PR I think like many of you, I've been jumping between many claude code/codex sessions at a time, managing multiple lines of work and worktrees in multiple repos. I wanted a way to easily manage multiple lines of work and reduce the amount of input I need to give, allowing the agents to remove me as a bottleneck from as much of the process as I can. So I built an orchestration tool for AI coding agents: Optio is an open-source orchestration system that turns tickets into merged pull requests using AI coding agents. You point it at your repos, and it handles the full lifecycle: - Intake — pull tasks from GitHub Issues, Linear, or create them manually - Execution — spin up isolated K8s pods per repo, run Claude Code or Codex in git worktrees - PR monitoring — watch CI checks, review status, and merge readiness every 30s - Self-healing — auto-resume the agent on CI failures, merge conflicts, or reviewer change requests - Completion — squash-merge the PR and close the linked issue The key idea is the feedback loop. Optio doesn't just run an agent and walk away — when CI breaks, it feeds the failure back to the agent. When a reviewer requests changes, the comments become the agent's next prompt. It keeps going until the PR merges or you tell it to stop. Built with Fastify, Next.js, BullMQ, and Drizzle on Postgres. Ships with a Helm chart for production deployment. https://bit.ly/3PyeSYX March 25, 2026 at 06:10PM

Show HN: Plasmite – a lightweight IPC system that's fun https://bit.ly/4lMD6um

Show HN: Plasmite – a lightweight IPC system that's fun At Oblong Industries one of the basic building blocks of everything we built was a homegrown C-based IPC system called Plasma. The message channel was an mmap'd file used as a ring buffer. All messages were human-readable, performance was good, configuration was trivial. What was especially useful (and unusual in IPC systems it seems) was the property that message channels outlive all readers and writers, and even survive reboots, because they're just files. For local IPC you don't need a broker or server process. All the engineers who ever worked at Oblong loved Plasma, so I've recreated and updated it, as Plasmite. It's written in Rust and the message format is JSON, but it's fast because it's based on lite3 ( https://bit.ly/47gEPlW ), a really cool project you should also check out. Bindings for Python, Go, Node, and C, but you can also get a lot done with just the CLI tools. The basic commands are - "feed" (to write) - "follow" (to tail) - "fetch" (to read one) - "duplex" (to have a 2-way session) I think duplex could be great for agent-agent communication, but I haven't tried this much yet. If you do, let me know! https://bit.ly/4syvmPq March 25, 2026 at 01:10AM
