Hi HN - we're Nithin and Nikhil, twin brothers and founders of nxtscape.ai (YC S24). We're building Nxtscape ("next-scape") - an open-source, agentic browser for the AI era. -- Why bother building a new browser? For the first time since Netscape was released in 1994, it feels like we can reimagine browsers from scratch for the age of AI agents. The web browser of tomorrow might not look like what we have today. We saw how tools like Cursor gave developers a 10x productivity boost, yet the browser—where everyone else spends their entire workday—hasn't fundamentally changed. And honestly, we…

The book page links to a blog post that explains how I got about it (and has a link to sample content), but the TL&DR is that I could not find a lot of books that were on "our" history _and_ were larded with technical details. So I set about writing one, and some five years later I'm happy to share the result. I think it's one of the few "computer history" books that has tons of code, but correct me if I'm wrong (I wrote this both to tell a story and to learn :-)). My favorite languages are Smalltalk and Lisp, but as an Emacs user, I've been using the latter for much longer and for my…

Hey there HN! Meet Linkwarden, a fully self-hostable, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages. Please also visit/star our GitHub repo [1]. Linkwarden was built using TypeScript and NextJS, backed by a PostgreSQL database for the lighter-weight data. The rest of the data can be chosen either to be stored on the filesystem, or stored on the cloud on Digital Ocean Space/AWS S3, the reason for the cloud storage solution was for the Cloud offering [2], we realized that the preserved webpages (archives) take up space pretty quickly and S3 was…

FavBox▲65Hi HN, I am working on a small side project called FavBox. It is a local-first browser extension that extends your existing bookmarks. It builds on your browser’s native bookmarks instead of replacing them or changing your default workflow. Key features: syncs with your browser profile, no third-party data sharing, no ads. no tracking. Clean, minimalist UI with tags support.

Implementation of the standard is still not complete, but breakpoints and stepping work quite well! It also has some support for watchpoints, that no implementation has. Now it ships with ASDF and is capable of loading systems! Let me know if you like it. Support on Patreon or Liberapay is much appreciated

Donut Browser▲154Hi HN, I'm excited to share my open source project, a browser orchestrator. It's purpose is to make it easy to manage many browser profiles on one system. Currently it only works on MacOS, but since I've built it using Tauri (which is a Rust backend and TypeScript frontend), I expect to add Linux and Windows support in the future. I've built it primarily for myself as I use a lot of browsers and having an easy way to manage all of my profiles would make (have made, actually) my dock less cluttered haha. Also, part of why I built it is because as someone who doesn't really care about…
