Show HN: Superset – Terminal to run 10 parallel coding agents 26 by avipeltz | 14 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, we’re Avi, Kiet, and Satya. We’re building Superset, an open-source terminal made for managing a bunch of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc) in parallel. - Superset makes it easy to spin up git worktrees and automatically setup your environment - Agents and terminal tabs are isolated to worktrees, preventing conflicts - Built-in hooks [0] to notify when your coding agents are done/needs attention, - A diff viewer to review the changes and make PRs quickly We’re three engineers who’ve built and maintained large codebases, and kept wanting to work on as many features in parallel as possible. Git worktrees [1] have been a useful solution for this task but they’re annoying to spin up and manage. We started superset as a tool that uses the best practices we’ve discovered running parallel agents. Here is a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHJhKFX2S-4 We all us...

Best practices for long-run LED strip installs (20–50M) to avoid flicker? 8 by emmasuntech | 5 comments on Hacker News. I’m working on a long-run LED strip installation (think 20–50 meters) and I’m trying to keep brightness and color consistent end-to-end. On typical constant-voltage strips, the far end dims and “white” shifts, and under high load I sometimes see flicker. So far I’ve tried the usual: higher voltage rails (e.g., 24V), thicker feeder wires, cleaner connectors, and power injection. It helps, but I’m curious what approaches people here consider “best practice” for reliability and serviceability. Questions: For long runs, do you prefer distributed power injection vs multiple smaller PSUs vs a higher-voltage backbone + local regulation? Have you had good results with constant-current strips or per-segment regulation to reduce voltage-drop artifacts? For addressable strips (WS281x/SPI/DMX), what are your go-to fixes for signal integrity over distance (grounding, buffering,...

Show HN: My not-for-profit search engine with no ads, no AI, & all DDG bangs 7 by UnmappedStack | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been working on a little open source [1] search engine, nilch. I noticed that nearly all well known search engines, including the alternative ones, tend to be run by companies of various sizes with the goal to make money, so they either fill your results with ads or charge you money, and I dislike this because search is the backbone of the internet and should not be commercial, so it runs in a not-for-profit style and aims to survive on donations. Additionally I'm personally really sick of AI in my search results so I got rid of that, and I wanted DuckDuckGo bangs so it supports all of them. Like many alternative search engines, it is fully private. Sadly, it currently does not have its own index but rather uses the Brave search API. Once I'm in a financial position that it's possible, I would absolutely love to build a completely new ...

Show HN: WalletWallet – create Apple passes from anything 34 by alentodorov | 9 comments on Hacker News. I got my Apple developer certificate and built a simple app to solve a problem I had. One shop I buy from doesn't have Apple Wallet passes. Since you need signed certificates to build these very simple things, I created a minimal app that signs them. It's available if you need it too. It won't scan cards with AI - you manually enter the barcode, which I think makes it less prone to error.

Show HN: Learn Japanese contextually while browsing 20 by englishcat | 6 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, Just wanted to share a tool i've been working on to help with my own study routine. It’s a browser extension called Lingoku. The idea is simple: we spend hours browsing the web in English every day. This tool replaces some of the english words with Japanese vocabulary based on your japanese level (Similar to Toucan, but with a better user experience). It’s basically an attempt to make the "i+1" method actually passive, you understand the sentence because it's mostly english, but you pick up Japanese words naturally from the context. It uses an LLM in the backend to make sure the translations fit the context (so it distinguishes between different meanings of the same word). since it uses paid AI APIs for the words replacement, I couldn't make it 100% free (server costs are real, unfortunately). However, there is a "forever free" plan with daily cred...

Show HN: Local Privacy Firewall-blocks PII and secrets before ChatGPT sees them 6 by arnabkarsarkar | 0 comments on Hacker News. OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection happens in the extension itself. Advanced detection (NER) uses a small transformer model running on localhost via FastAPI. No data is ever sent to a server. You can verify this in the code + DevTools network panel. This is an early prototype. There will be rough edges. I’m l...

Why "all-in-one" productivity tools confuse new users 6 by suffei771 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been working on an all-in-one productivity model for a while — the idea is simple: instead of switching between email, calendar, tasks, and notes, everything happens in one unified action layer. What surprised me wasn’t the technical challenge, but the user reactions. Power users absolutely love it. They immediately get the concept. They think in workflows, not apps. To them, “summarize this and turn it into an event” feels obvious and natural. But new users often freeze. Even though the interface is technically simpler, they ask things like: “What category is this tool?” “Where’s the starting point?” “Is this replacing my email or my notes?” “Why doesn’t it look like a normal productivity app?” It made me realize something uncomfortable: the more integrated a tool becomes, the harder it is for people to form a mental model. And without a clear mental model, onboarding be...
