    I made a little emacs minor mode for connecting assembly code and assembled code buffers I'm really fascinated by the idea of demystifying an operating system, so to be able to view the alignment between code and data I find really satisfying

    Originally started as a project to restore patterns from now defunct website 808.pixll.de just for myself, but eventually i decided to share it with others. I've seen this website mentioned a couple of times on HN:) Currently it only supports Roland TR-808, but there will be more.

    Hey HN, My cofounder and I have gotten tired of CC ignoring our markdown files so we spent 4 days and built a plugin that automatically steers CC based on our previous sessions. The problem is usually post plan-mode. What we've tried: Heavily use plan mode (works great) CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md Local context folder (upkeep is a pain) Cursor rules (for Cursor) claude-mem (OSS) -> does session continuity, not steering We use fusion search to find your CC steering corrections. - user prompt embeddings + bm25 - correction embeddings + bm25 - time decay - target query embeddings -…

    In the deep mists of time (circa 2012), I was playing with the Go standard library, and saw how easy it was to stand up a webserver that let you navigate a remote file system, and I thought it was pretty neat. I took a look at my shell history and a frequent pattern of commands was "cd, ls, cd, ls, ...". And I thought "I love my keyboard, but you know, point and click might be nice in this context." And then I thought, "It'd be even cooler if you could run commands there." Skip forward several years, a few earlier implementations, a name change, and now there's Hucksh(ell), a bash-like shell…

    I used to transcribe drum parts in my text editor (vim) using plain-text drum tabs. It worked, but it was far from ideal — every edit risked breaking the text grid. Also how could I be sure the rhythm was accurate? Or share it with others who prefer traditional sheet music? So I built drumtabs.app — an online text-based drum tab editor that works like a step sequencer, with audio playback, sheet music rendering, and more.

    I’ve been working on a new Go library called Tap: https://github.com/yarlson/tap. It’s a Go port of the TypeScript library Clack https://clack.cc/, bringing its simple, interactive command-line prompts to Go. Why: I often found myself rewriting input handling, spinners, and progress bars when building CLI tools. Existing options in Go felt either too barebones or too heavyweight. Tap aims to provide a middle ground: ergonomic, event-driven prompts with minimal dependencies. What works today: - Text and password input - Confirm and single-select menus…

    Hi Everyone! I want to share a tool I built to solve one of life's great annoyances - managing browser tabs! tabgrab is a command-line tool (CLI) to save the URLs from the tabs of an open browser window on macOS. URLs from every tab can be saved to a file, copied to the clipboard, output to the console, or all 3. A custom prefix (such as a leading dash "-" or asterisk "*") can be added, which is convenient for dumping a list of tab URLs into a bulleted list. To get fancier, a custom template can be specified to include the tab's name and url and format as desired (e.g., as a markdown link).…

    *Problem*: As a developer, I often juggle 50+ tabs across projects. Existing bookmark managers felt clunky, and tab groups required too many clicks. *Solution*: TabTab replaces your new tab page with a grid-style dashboard. Key features: - Save all open tabs as a collection with one click (perfect for debugging sessions) - Self-hosted sync via GitHub Gist/WebDAV (no tracking, your data stays yours) - Keyboard shortcuts & drag-and-drop (demo video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQQEKbI9moc]) *Tech Stack*: Built with WXT (browser extension framework) + React + Tailwind.…

    I like the tab-switching behaviour in Chrome/Firefox and wanted Safari to have something similar. Another wish of mine was for it to be a web extension that feels native to the browser vs an app extension that looks out of place. After waiting long enough, I decided to build one myself. A little preview of Tap Tab - https://taptab.manibatra.xyz. The web extension APIs for managing tabs are pretty locked down in Safari, but I have already found a lot of value in using the extension. Some of the features that I find very useful(in the middle of building a few of these) : -…
