    I decided to build my own AI feeds reader since I wanted features I couldn't find, or at least not in the way I wanted to, for instance: - Filter news by interest/category - Cluster same story from different sources into one - Show short summary of each new so you can skip if it's not really that interesting to you - Track relevant AI figures, but not only their tweets and posts but also their appearences in articles and interviews I'm still tuning it and improving it everyday.

    We now write most of our code with agents. For a while, PRs piled up, causing review fatigue, and we had this sinking feeling that standards were slipping. Consistency is tough at this volume. I’m sharing the solution we found, which has become our main product. Continue (https://docs.continue.dev) runs AI checks on every PR. Each check is a source-controlled markdown file in `.continue/checks/` that shows up as a GitHub status check. They run as full agents, not just reading the diff, but able to read/write files, run bash commands, and use a browser. If it finds…

    A few weeks ago I posted an early version of this. It was just an MCP doing web search for AI assistants. Since then it evolved rapidly. The problem I kept running into is that when I use an LLM for research, it gives me citations that look right but aren't most of the time. Sometimes the paper doesn't exist. Sometimes it does exist but it's been retracted. Most times the sources are not fully vetted nor truly relevant to my search. I got tired of checking these manually. That's why I built this updated MCP. It looks the work up in Crossref to confirm it's real. It checks the Retraction…

    Origin▲6

    We built Origin after realizing nobody on our team could answer "which AI wrote this?" when a bug appeared. Origin hooks into Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, and Codex. Every commit gets tagged with which agent wrote it, what prompt generated it, which model, and what it cost. Run `origin blame` on any file and you see [AI] or [HU] per line — like git blame but for AI agents. All data stored in git notes. No server required, works offline, zero lock-in. CLI is open source (MIT): github.com/dolobanko/origin-cli Team dashboard: getorigin.io Would love feedback on the attribution…
