    Hi HN, I’m Andrew, Founder of Zencoder. While building our IDE extensions and cloud agents, we ran into the same issue many of you likely face when using coding agents in complex repos: agents getting stuck in loops, apologizing, and wasting time. We tried to manage this with scripts, but juggling terminal windows and copy-paste prompting was painful. So we built Zenflow, a free desktop tool to orchestrate AI coding workflows. It handles the things we were missing in standard chat interfaces: Cross-Model Verification: You can have Codex review Claude’s code, or run them in parallel to see…

    Hi HN — I’ve been working on Gene, a general-purpose, homoiconic language with a Lisp-like surface syntax, but with a core data model that’s intentionally not just “lists all the way down”. What’s unique: the Gene data type Gene’s central idea is a single unified structure that always carries (1) a type, (2) key/value properties, and (3) positional children: (type ^prop1 value1 ^prop2 value2 child1 child2 ...) The key point is that the type, each property name, each property value, and each child can themselves be any Gene data. Everything composes uniformly. In practice this is…

    I made a web game inspired by Geoguessr and Wordle, where you get shown a 3D model of a random human protein each day, and you have to triangulate its gene name using similarity clues. My background is in wet lab molecular biology and I intend this game to be engaging mostly to other biologists. But if you're outside the field, I'm interested to know if you can still solve it with browser use LLMs, and if you learned something interesting doing so. Let me know what you think. I made it with Claude over the last 2 months. My coding experience is limited to basic python data analysis and…

    Hi, HN. Gui, Lucis, and the deco.cx team here — we're a bunch of Brazilians building an open-source, all-in-one web editor for the modern TypeScript dev. Check out our GitHub at https://github.com/deco-cx/deco and discover more at our site https://deco.cx/. We built frontend tools at a hyper-growth e-commerce platform for 9 years. Deco.cx is the thing that we wish existed when we were managing hundreds of enterprise-grade React-based websites. The gist is: JSX, HTMX, TypeScript, Tailwind and Deno. All visually editable in a beautiful, collaborative,…

    Wrote a program in FreeBASIC to try and find out how Genetic Algorithms work. It's a quick hack that I wrote to try some theories with because the Wikipedia Article on GAs reads like greek to me. So I built it from the general principles i knew at the time. The "genome" per individual is an array of 9000 integers but I used only monochrome pictures with either black or white; An individual also has a fitness score. There are 1000 individuals in the population and only two are selected to reproduce. So that makes 9 million (yes, MEELION as El Reg would write) data points and the scoring…

    Hi Hacker News, We're Bryan and Richard, cofounders of you.com. Together with our team of engineers, we are working on YouCode, a search engine for people who code. You can try it at code.you.com. The main idea is to make the search experience better and more efficient when coding. We’d love your feedback for a few use cases that we have in mind so far: * searching through StackOverflow for quick code snippets: reverting a git commit for example [1] * searching through GitHub Issues: when you’re getting an error message that looks unfamiliar [2, 3] * searching through the documentation for…
