    I built Magic Sandbox, an AI app platform where your AI assistant can directly interact with Magic Sandbox apps published by the community. Check out the demo video to see it in action: https://www.loom.com/share/4a1d4aee83a5485197898f537e1cb397 Or head to https://magicsandbox.ai to go through the onboarding tutorial. Originally I set out to build a monetized version of OpenAI’s custom GPTs, where developers would earn money when users used their custom GPT. Eventually this evolved into a platform for AI powered apps, which expose not only context and…

    I built this because I was always creating machines on GH actions to test builds on different OS, and I wanted a tight CLI that could do it. I always saw Actions as this great resources and ephemeral machines you could do dev work in just were a natural way for me to work, so this grew out of that workflow. I didn't expect it to blow up, so it wasn't 100% finished when I posted it. But it should stabilize pretty quickly. Happy to know what you think and talk about it.

    Hi HN, After 15 years in product management, I realized there’s nowhere for Product Managers to actually practice, most learning focuses on theory, not doing. I built The Product Sandbox, a platform where PMs can practice real-world product scenarios, make decisions, and strengthen core skills through daily missions and challenges. It’s designed for aspiring to senior PMs who want to keep improving through real practice. I’d love feedback from this community on how you think PMs (or teams) can best build real-world experience outside of their day jobs. https://sandbox4pm.com

    Kshitij and Rahul here. We're building Playground, an open-source sandbox that lets your non-technical teams prototype directly on production codebases, without bugging you (developers) to spin up and maintain another repo. The repo is here: https://github.com/B1u3B01t/design-playground. We've been working together for six years. Last year we built an AI design agent because we thought designers were the biggest bottleneck. But we were wrong. After talking to teams, we realised designers, PMs, founders and even sales people all wanted to quickly change and explore flows…

    I built a free platform for practicing system design interviews!: https://leetsys.dev. The currently available problems will always be listed as free! It lets you chat with an interviewer in real time as you work through a system design problem. It also gives you detailed feedback at the end of the interview that you can use to assess your performance and see where you can improve. Please try it out and let me know what you think!

    I didn't realize Universe Sandbox ran on MacOS, and I was in the mood to play around a bit. Some functions it's got: - Random system generation - Sonification is super fun too - Habitability Simulation (Just for fun, don't cite this please) - Replacing, spawning, deleting objects I've had tons of fun building this, so I hope someone else can share the joy. It's free and runs in the browser. I'd love to hear any feedback. I think this is at a state where I might leave it as it is, but if people are interested in other features, maybe I'll keep working on it. I've kept saying I'll stop working…

    Hey everyone, We're excited to introduce MarinaBox, an open-source toolkit for creating isolated desktop/browser sandboxes tailored for AI agents. Over the past few months, we've worked on various projects involving: 1. AI agents interacting with computers (think Claude computer-use scenarios). 2. Browser automation for AI agents using tools like Playwright and Selenium. 3. Applications that need a live-session view to monitor AI agents' actions, with the ability for human-in-the-loop intervention. What we learned: All these scenarios share a common need for robust infrastructure. So,…
