A demonstrator of what is possible with Common Lisp and what kind of new interface a rethink of browsers could provide. https://github.com/nEXT-Browser/nEXT Very Alpha. Missing history, bookmarks, sessions etc. nEXT is not intended to replace your current browser. It is just like adding another tool in your toolbox, you use nEXT when you want to get actual work done.

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…

Hello HN! Flowtide is a project I have been working on for about 2 months now. It is a customizable new tab page for Firefox or Chrome. By default, it is configured to have a minimal amount of features, but it can be configured to include a clock, to-do list, or even soundscapes. Install: https://flowtide.app/ GitHub: https://github.com/thingbomb/flowtide

Hey HN , My product is targeted at developers who want to save 20+ hours writing the same boilerplate code. *Next Inject* is a CLI that lets you configure services such as payments, authentication, and SEO with a single command. *Next Inject* is straight to the point; you get exactly what you pay for, i.e. run `next-inject add stripe` and voila, you can now accept payments from users. Now there are products like shipfa.st that solve this problem, but for *6x* the price, and *20x* more boilerplate to overwhelm developers. Additionally, each Next Inject plugin has an optimized docs page to…
