Hi HN! Erik here from Pig.dev, and today I'd like to share a new project we've just open sourced: Muscle Mem is an SDK that records your agent's tool-calling patterns as it solves tasks, and will deterministically replay those learned trajectories whenever the task is encountered again, falling back to agent mode if edge cases are detected. Like a JIT compiler, for behaviors. At Pig, we built computer-use agents for automating legacy Windows applications (healthcare, lending, manufacturing, etc). A recurring theme we ran into was that businesses already had RPA (pure-software scripts), and…

Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. A few months ago, we introduced here at HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34806482) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else. While talking to developers and devops, we found that a lot of companies use many tools…

diny▲175Hi everyone, I built a CLI tool called *diny* that generates Git commit messages directly from your staged changes. - It runs `git diff` and filters out noise like lockfiles, build artifacts, and binaries. - From the cleaned diff it suggests a clear commit message. - You can confirm or refine the message before committing. Key points: - No setup or API keys required. - Lightweight, local-first workflow. - Supports different lengths and styles (short, normal, long; conventional or simple). - Built in Go with Cobra for a familiar CLI experience. Repo:…

Hiya HN! Just released Artillery Probe - a Swiss army knife for testing HTTP from the CLI. Think mini-curl with better UX for common use-cases, plus a couple of extra features. Would love for you to try it and give some feedback! https://www.artillery.io/blog/swiss-army-knife-for-http-testing and: npm install artillery@latest What does it do? - First of all, it's a HTTP client! It does all the usual stuff you'd expect from a HTTP client... HTTP methods, request bodies, custom headers, forms, Basic Auth etc. - Got some JSON or XML back? It'll pretty-print it, and syntax…

Hello everyone. Claudraband wraps a Claude Code TUI in a controlled terminal to enable extended workflows. It uses tmux for visible controlled sessions or xterm.js for headless sessions (a little slower), but everything is mediated by an actual Claude Code TUI. One example of a workflow I use now is having my current Claude Code interrogate older sessions for certain decisions it made: https://github.com/halfwhey/claudraband?tab=readme-ov-file#s... This project provides: - Resumable non-interactive workflows. Essentially `claude -p` with session support: `cband continue…

Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. We're thrilled to announce that we're open-sourcing our alerting CLI tool, Keep (https://github.com/keephq/keep). Designed by developers for developers, Keep streamlines and simplifies alerting, making it a first-class citizen within the development process. Think of Keep as Prometheus Alertmanager but for all observability tools, with a simple and intuitive (GitHub actions-like) syntax. We believe that alerting has historically been neglected in existing monitoring platforms, leading to subpar alerting practices. With Keep,…

I've just released an early version off my project I've been working on for a few months now and would love some feedback. https://github.com/fourlexboehm/faasta I was surprised there isn't yet an open/source and standards compliant way to host wasi-http functions in a way that takes advantages of WASM, a multi tenanted application. If you're not familiar with wasi, Compared to something like AWS Lambda, this approach is much more efficient as a single process can serve 1000s of function invocations concurrently and asynchronously, instead requiring an entire VM.…

Hi HN, I built Ayder — a single-binary, HTTP-native durable event log written in C. The wedge is simple: curl is the client (no JVM, no ZooKeeper, no thick client libs). There’s a 2-minute demo that starts with an unclean SIGKILL, then restarts and verifies offsets + data are still there. Numbers (3-node Raft, real network, sync-majority writes, 64B payload): ~50K msg/s sustained (wrk2 @ 50K req/s), client P99 ~3.46ms. Crash recovery after SIGKILL is ~40–50s with ~8M offsets. Repo link has the video, benchmarks, and quick start. I’m looking for a few early design partners (any…

Karve▲71Not much to say. I work on windows, I hate postman, I need to manage bunch of .http files across multiple repositories. So I built a fast and native tool for myself and published it if you want to try it too. Any feedback would be nice, I really want it to be The obvious native Windows home for .http files

There are plenty of good tools for load testing such as JMeter, Minigun, and plenty more - but they all have their own set of options to learn. I built this one to support a simpler workflow where you just paste your curl request (or other cli command) after your `spam` config (literally just `spam -r 2 -- curl www.google.com). It's pretty barebones but I'm 100% going to use it in my day to day - figured I'd share it here if it helped anyone else!

I built nblm, a Rust-based toolset to automate Google’s NotebookLM Enterprise API reliably. It aims to replace brittle curl snippets with a stable interface you can use in cron/CI or agentic systems. * Python SDK (type-safe): IDE auto-complete, fewer JSON key typos, fits complex workflows. * Standalone CLI: single fast binary for scripts and pipelines. * Handles auth, batching, retries; you focus on logic. Rust core is fast and memory-safe. * Enterprise API only (consumer NotebookLM isn’t supported). Repo: https://github.com/K-dash/nblm-rs Feedback is welcome—I'm…
