An LLM-Powered PCB Schematic Checker (Major Update)▲55
Traceformer.io is a web application that ingests KiCad projects or Altium netlists along with relevant datasheets, enabling LLM-based schematic review. The system is designed to identify datasheet-driven schematic issues that traditional ERC tools can't detect. Since our first launch (formerly as Netlist.io), we've made some big changes: - Full KiCad project parsing via an open-source plugin - Pass-through API pricing with a small platform fee - Automatic datasheet retrieval - ERC/DRC-style review UI - Revamped review workflow with selectable frontier models (GPT 5.2, Opus 4.5, and…

ChartDB Agent – Cursor for DB schema design▲130
Last year we launched ChartDB OSS (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44972238) - an open-source tool that generates ER diagrams from your database (via query/sql/dbml) without needing direct DB access. Now we’re launching the ChartDB Agent. It helps you design databases from scratch or make schema changes with natural language. You can: - Generate schemas by simply describing them in plain English - Brainstorm new tables, columns, and relationships with AI - Iterate visually in a diagram (ERD) - Deterministically export SQL script Try it out here -…

Chunk sidecars▲77
Hi HN! My name is Olaf, I work at CircleCI as a technology advisor in the CTO office, came in through the acquisition of my company Vamp.io (progressive delivery for microservices on k8s) in 2021. Wanted to hear the HN community feedback and thoughts on a project we think could be very interesting when adding AI coding agents to the SDLC and your CI pipelines. Our team at CircleCI built Chunk sidecars after repeatedly running into the same issue internally: by the time our CI catches a failure, the agent has already moved on and most of the useful context is gone. The basic idea of Chunk…

We built an AI to review your pull requests▲53
Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

Zenode – an AI-powered electronic component search engine▲19
TL;DR - My cofounder Collin and I built an AI version of Digi-Key to help PCB designers find and use parts, except with a way bigger catalog, modern refinement tools, and an AI that can actually read the damn datasheets for you. *The problem* Modern circuit board design is filled with absurdly tedious tasks, where one small mistake can brick a project and cost thousands. The worst (in our opinion) is reading datasheets, which eats up to 25% of the first part of any project: 1. First, you slog through catalogs to find viable parts, using search tools that are still stuck in the dark ages.…

Hexar.ai▲15
Hello Folks, since quite a while we had been working on an interesting problem which we have experienced and is known industry wide. As someone who works in autonomous robotics, we’ve seen how hard it is to debug hardware + software + behavior when systems fail in the field. Logs aren’t enough. Docs are scattered. People waste time hunting instead of fixing. Also leadership and development teams lacks track of what's the ground-level situation. This all info will be at one place. I'm super excited to finally share Hexar.ai, a canvas based intelligent tool we've been building to help teams…

Largest public dataset of electronic circuit files▲19
Introducing Open Schematics V2 — the largest dataset of electronic schematics and PCB layouts on the internet. It's a self-growing, autonomous dataset that continuously scans the web for new engineering designs and updates itself accordingly. Reference designs help you move 10x faster: less reinventing the wheel, more validated patterns to design and check against. It's also a goldmine for training AI models on real-world hardware design.

AI Pulse a fake LED strip beside the macOS Dock that shows agent status▲19
Hi HN! I run a few Claude Code sessions in parallel and kept cmd-tabbing around just to find out one of them had been sitting on a permission prompt for ten minutes. There's a hardware gadget I liked (called SidePulse.io) so before waiting to get my shipment I built the software version instead :D I hope you like it and find it useful as I do!
