Show HN: Automatically set real iOS alarms for calendar events 13 by jiffydiffy | 3 comments on Hacker News. I kept missing appointments and meetings because calendar notifications are too easy to ignore. Alarms, on the other hand, always break through silent mode/DND and force you to acknowledge them — but setting them manually every day was another chore. With iOS 26’s new AlarmKit, I built Beacon: it automatically syncs with your Apple Calendar and converts important events into real iOS alarms. You can define simple rules (like “only events with ‘Interview’ in the title” or “meetings with 3+ attendees”), and Beacon sets the alarms for you — no extra work required. Would love feedback!

Show HN: Family Chess: Play across firewalls and Internet cultures 5 by kelvinquee | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I built a simple chess game so that my son in Singapore can play chess with his grandfather in China. Why? There is currently no service or open source software that has all of the following: * All processing and assets on a single server (Critical to workaround a firewall) * No email account required (Chinese Internet services typically login via WeChat) * Works on Android browser * Simple to install and config I built it, together with Claude Code, using simple and boring technologies (Django + Client-side JS). I hope that when you use it, you will find it simple to understand (everything is done server-side), deploy, play, and maybe even hack. :) Live demo: https://ift.tt/v1T9a3D (Please be gentle, it's a tiny 2GB VPS!)

Show HN: Nallely – A Python signals/MIDI processing system inspired by Smalltalk 7 by drschlange | 0 comments on Hacker News. Nallely is about experimenting with signals: routing, patching, or writing small neurons that process signals and eventually sink in MIDI devices or any application connected to Nallely. I try to get inspired by the "Systems as a Living Things" philosophy and aim, step by step, to create an auto-adaptive, resilient, distributed system. Currently, neurons live in their own thread in a session (world), and send signals (messages) to each other through patches (channels). You can also connect to a network-bus neuron to register your own neurons written in any other technology and have them interact with the existing neurons inside the world. Nallely offers an API to easily code your own reactive neurons, and provides a mobile-friendly GUI for patching everything visually. As anyone posting something based on Python, I can already hear: "no, Python...

This is what took me the longest time :) I would appreciate your feedback ^ ^

Show HN: Pyproc – Call Python from Go Without CGO or Microservices 3 by acc_10000 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN!I built *pyproc* to let Go services call Python like a local function — *no CGO and no separate microservice*. It runs a pool of Python worker processes and talks over *Unix Domain Sockets* on the same host/pod, so you get low overhead, process isolation, and parallelism beyond the GIL. *Why this exists* * Keep your Go service, reuse Python/NumPy/pandas/PyTorch/scikit-learn. * Avoid network hops, service discovery, and ops burden of a separate Python service. *Quick try (\~5 minutes)* Go (app): ``` go get github.com/YuminosukeSato/pyproc@latest ``` Python (worker): ``` pip install pyproc-worker ``` Minimal worker (Python): ``` from pyproc_worker import expose, run_worker @expose def predict(req): return {"result": req["value"] * 2} if __name__ == "__main__": run_worker() ``` Call from Go: ``` import ( "context" "fmt" ...

Show HN: MCP Server Installation Instructions Generator 7 by pmig | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, we’ve been experimenting a lot with MCP servers lately, and one of the most time-consuming challenges has been connecting MCP clients to remote MCP servers. To solve this, we built a library that generates them on the fly, enabling 1-click installation buttons and links for most clients out there. Feel free to try out the generator and use it to improve the README of your remote MCP server with the generated markdown. You can even configure the library to return HTML instructions if someone accesses your remote MCP server via the web.

Show HN: I reverse engineered macOS to allow custom Lock Screen wallpapers 10 by cindori | 6 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, I'm Oskar, a solo indie Mac developer from Sweden. For those in the Mac community, you might know me from my other apps like Sensei and Trim Enabler. For years, I've been frustrated by the lack of customisation of macOS. In particular the Lock Screen which supports animated wallpapers, but only ones provided by Apple. There's never been a way to add your own personal videos. I decided to figure out how to solve this, and the result is Backdrop 2.0. Backdrop is my Live Wallpaper app for Mac, it can play video wallpapers on your desktop. And now it can play on your Lock Screen too. The core technical challenge, as you can imagine, came from trying to do something that Apple otherwise does not allow. However, through extensive reverse engineering of the macOS wallpaper system, I figured out a way to provide Backdrop wallpapers to the system in a way t...

Launch HN: Recall.ai (YC W20) – API for meeting recordings and transcripts 12 by davidgu | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, we're David and Amanda from Recall.ai ( https://www.recall.ai ). Today we’re launching our Desktop Recording SDK, a way to get meeting data without a bot in the meeting: https://ift.tt/eJk7UvA . It’s our biggest release in quite a while so we thought we’d finally do our Launch HN :) Here’s a demo that shows it producing a transcript from a meeting, followed by examples in code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4croAGGiKTA . API docs are at https://docs.recall.ai/ . Back in W20, our first product was an API that lets you send a bot participant into a meeting. This gives developers access to audio/video streams and other data in the meeting. Today, this API powers most of the meeting recording products on the market. Recently, meeting recording through a desktop form factor instead of a bot has become popular. Many products like Notion and ChatGPT have added...

Ask HN: Good resources for DIY-ish animatronic kits for Halloween? 9 by xrd | 1 comments on Hacker News. Does anyone know of good resources to make your own animatronic Halloween displays? I'm a software engineer, and not skilled in hardware per se. I would love to make some things together with my kids. For reference, they are 8, 10, 12 and VERY smart and they use Ubuntu as their desktop computers and can use flatpak from the command line. Not that I am bragging.... And, I would love to NOT spent $400 on just a single ridiculous junky thing from Lowes, and do that for multiple things. My budget is definitely tiny and the journey of building and troubleshooting is what I want for the kids, not necessarily a finished perfect project. I found this site and it looks interesting but I am unsure how well this would work for someone like me and whether I would be able to get it working. The site says "Only 54 days until Halloween!" https://ift.tt/QYU2i5L If anyone knows of g...

Show HN: Attempt – A CLI for retrying fallible commands 2 by maxbond | 0 comments on Hacker News. 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://maxbond...

Show HN: Entropy-Guided Loop – How to make small models reason 8 by andrewmonostate | 0 comments on Hacker News. TLDR: A small, vendor-agnostic inference loop that turns token logprobs/perplexity/entropy into an extra pass and reasoning for LLMs. - Captures logprobs/top-k during generation, computes perplexity and token-level entropy. - Triggers at most one refine when simple thresholds fire; passes a compact “uncertainty report” (uncertain tokens + top-k alts + local context) back to the model. - In our tests on technical Q&A / math / code, a small model recovered much of “reasoning” quality at ~⅓ the cost while refining ~⅓ of outputs. I kept seeing “reasoning” models behave like expensive black boxes. Meanwhile, standard inference already computes useful signals both before softmax normalization and after it(logprobs), which we usually throw away. This loop tries the simplest thing that you could think of: use those signals to decide when (and where) to think again. GitHub (no...
