    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!

    Hi HN, we’re Nick and Drew, and we’re building boxes.dev – the first cloud-only agentic dev environment (ADE) that gives every Codex and Claude Code agent its own cloud computer. We’re two engineers who previously built Gem (co-founder/CTO and first hire), and we spent the last year coding almost exclusively using Codex and Claude Code. It’s been a huge change to how we code, and it’s been exhilarating seeing the models keep getting better – but we eventually realized that developing on localhost was holding us back: - Git worktrees are clunky to set up and use for parallelizing work -…

    Hey HN, I've had a side-project that I've slowly ticked away at over the last year called Tilde. Tilde is a harness SDK platform - I've tried to take the best things of OpenClaw, Hermes & other harnesses and decompose them and make them available as cloud API building blocks. You can use Tilde to create AI agents for your use case, fast and self-host the agent's yourself. The documentation (and attached blog post) leave a lot to be desired in terms of technical documentation but hopefully the attached git repo does a good job of showcasing the API.…

    Hey HN, A couple of friends and I spent the last three months working on KaibanJS, an open-source framework for building AI multi-agent systems. Honestly, we’re not 100% sure it’s fully ready for launch. But we’d love to get your feedback on it. The idea came from us trying to find a native JS solution for working with AI agents, and we couldn’t find anything that really fit well with the JS ecosystem… stuff like React, Next, State management, etc. So, we decided to build it ourselves. Because KaibanJS runs in the browser, we also built a cool UI—a Kanban board, kinda like Trello, that lets…
