    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

    I made this tiny notepad website, to write things down in your browser. The Features - Just saves to your browser's localstorage (no cloud or login) - Export to TXT file - Formatting keyboard shortcuts - Works offline - Super fast The Tech - Single HTML file - 20 lines of JS + service worker (for offline usage) - Using pure CSS for modals - Github pages hosting - Basically it's just a "contenteditable div" with some extra features - Source -> https://github.com/benwinding/localnotes.page It's been done before, but I couldn't find a version I liked, that worked offline…

    I created a text editor to use with Jira and their text formatting notation, or really any simple note taking or writing that a user would quickly want to save/have auto save. I used javafx, fxml, and netbeans ide. You can check out the Repo here (https://github.com/rossfletcher19/simpleTextEditor) and any input whatsoever is greatly appreciated. Btw this is also my first app ever, so yay me! ty again!

    Mix is an open-source, local agent for multimodal claude code. Claude code users will feel at home. - Uses ffmpeg and local apps like blender instead of clunky cloud based editors - All project data is stored plain text and native media files - absolutely no lock-in. - The backend is an HTTP server, meaning that the frontend is just one of possible clients. - - Our SDK with stdio interface (similar to claude code SDK) is launching soon.

    Hey everyone, I recently built a free Chrome extension called Formula to LaTeX that lets you convert any formula from an image, screenshot directly into clean LaTeX code. No signup. Just: 1. Paste or drag & drop an image of the formula 2. Get the LaTeX code instantly 3. Copy it with one click It works great for math, physics, and chemistry formulas, super helpful if you're working on problem sets, papers, or presentations and don’t want to retype complex equations. Would love any feedback! I'm still improving it, so feel free to roast it or share ideas

    Hi HN. I've been working on this since 2018. Revise.js is a set of building blocks for contenteditable: a web component that gives you a textarea-like .value for any contenteditable element, an Edit data structure with compose/transform/invert for OT inspired by the Xi editor, and a Crank.js integration for declarative editable components. At 32.8 KB gzipped (including the rendering framework), it's 2–4x smaller than ProseMirror, Slate, or CodeMirror. The trade-off is that those ship complete editors; Revise is foundations you build on. All the demos on the homepage are live and…

    I wanted to better markdown editor for collaborating with Claude/Codex and built Flashtype (https://github.com/opral/flashtype): - opens local markdown files - Claude/Codex natively integrated (with my existing subscription!) - in-line diffing to quickly accept/reject changes - WYSIWYG (!) The in-line diffs are a big step up to other apps static previews, and, in theory, just the first collaborative primitive. But, I am getting feedback that "editing" might become a thing of the past. Why do I need to see diffs from Codex/Claude if the models are…
