Show HN: Joonote – A note-taking app on your lock screen and notification panel 7 by kilgarenone | 0 comments on Hacker News. I finally built this app after many years of being sick of unlocking my phone every goddamn time I need to take or view my notes. It particularly sucks when I'm doing my grocery and going down the list. I started building last year June. This is a native app written in Kotlin. And since I'm a 100% Web dev guy, I gotta say this wouldn't have been possible without this AI to assist me. So this isn't "vibe-coded". I simply used the chat interface in Gemini website, manually copy paste codes to build and integrate every single thing in the app! I used gemini to build it just because I was piggybacking on my last company's enterprise subscription. I personally didn't subscribe to any AI (and still don't cuz the free quota seems enough for me :) So I certainly have learnt alot about Android development, architecture patterns, K...

Show HN: Dumped Wix for an AI Edge agent so I never have to hire junior staff 6 by axotopia | 2 comments on Hacker News. I run a building design consultancy. I got tired of paying Wix $40/month for a brochure that couldn’t answer simple service questions, and me wasting hours on the same FAQs. So I killed it all and spent 4 months building a 'talker': https://axoworks.com The stack is completely duct-taped: Netlify’s 10s serverless timeout forced me to split the agent into three pieces: Brain (Edge), Hands (Browser), and Voice (Edge). I haven’t coded in 30 years. This was 3 steps forward, 2 steps back, heavily guided by AI. The fight that proved it worked: 2 weeks ago, a licensed architect attacked the bot, trying to prove my business model harms the profession. The AI (DeepSeek-R3) completely dismantled his arguments. It was hilariously caustic. Log: https://ift.tt/4htj59E... A few battle scars: * Web Speech API works fine, right up until someone speaks Chinese without togg...

Show HN: I built a tool that watches webpages and exposes changes as RSS 7 by vkuprin | 3 comments on Hacker News. I built Site Spy after missing a visa appointment slot because a government page changed and I didn’t notice for two weeks. It watches webpages for changes and shows the result like a diff. The part I think HN might find interesting is that it can monitor a specific element on a page, not just the whole page, and it can expose changes as RSS feeds. So instead of tracking an entire noisy page, you can watch just a price, a stock status, a headline, or a specific content block. When it changes, you can inspect the diff, browse the snapshot history, or follow the updates in an RSS reader. It’s a Chrome/Firefox extension plus a web dashboard. Main features: - Element picker for tracking a specific part of a page - Diff view plus full snapshot timeline - RSS feeds per watch, per tag, or across all watches - MCP server for Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents - Browser push, E...

Show HN: Claude-replay – A video-like player for Claude Code sessions 16 by es617 | 7 comments on Hacker News. I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings. Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps. I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay. You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation. The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile.

Show HN: Open-Source Article 12 Logging Infrastructure for the EU AI Act 12 by systima | 0 comments on Hacker News. EU legislation (which affects UK and US companies in many cases) requires being able to truly reconstruct agentic events. I've worked in a number of regulated industries off & on for years, and recently hit this gap. We already had strong observability, but if someone asked me to prove exactly what happened for a specific AI decision X months ago (and demonstrate that the log trail had not been altered), I could not. The EU AI Act has already entered force, and its Article 12 kicks-in in August this year, requiring automatic event recording and six-month retention for high-risk systems, which many legal commentators have suggested reads more like an append-only ledger requirement than standard application logging. With this in mind, we built a small free, open-source TypeScript library for Node apps using the Vercel AI SDK that captures inference as an append-o...
