Context.dev▲814Hello, My name is Yahia, I've been working on scraping products for a long time and maintain a couple of free sites in my spare time (E.g. knifegeek.io) What prompted this is i've rebuilt scraping infra at every company I've started and finally just made it a product. Pass a URL, get clean markdown, html, images, sitemap or pass a domain, get logos, colors, socials, industry data. Goal is to offer a better service than VC funded competitors at a fraction of the cost. Stealth is included and automatic at no additional cost (normally an upcharge by alternatives). Would love your honest thoughts.

Design.MD▲111Feels a bit like Figma, but for coding agents. Instead of going back and forth with prompts, you give the agent a DESIGN.md that defines the design system up front, and it generally sticks to it when generating UI. Google Stitch seems to be moving in this direction as a standard, so we put together a small collection of DESIGN.md files based on popular web sites.

Hey HN, I noticed there are 1,000+ MCP skills on GitHub with zero way for creators to charge for them. So I built Agent37. Selling Claude skills today means asking customers to download your skill, set up Claude Code on their laptops, configure MCP servers, and pray it works. No trial, no updates, often you're just handing over the source. Agent37 lets creators upload a skill, share a link, and anyone can try it instantly (no Claude account needed). Built-in Stripe, creators keep 80%. Looking for feedback on the approach. Would you use something like this?

display.dev▲183Last week's post from Thariq "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of HTML" went viral in X. He made a good point about HTML being the more expressive and human friendly alternative to markdown files. I completely buy in where he's coming from, I've been asking Claude Code to create me HTML files to better understand what we're planning and building together. What Thariq didn't address was the part of sharing and collaborating on these HTML artifacts (he proposed uploading to S3). While I've been heavy user of HTML artifacts to share quarterly plans, implementation specs, technical guides and…

Anakin▲148Every second thing I build needs to access the web, and I was frustrated with not finding something that just works all the time. With my team, we built this because I wanted to enable access to extremely difficult websites and apps for every AI agent. We have solved this cat-and-mouse problem with self-healing built in. It's one API to get data from hostile sites, and it can do easy sites too. You POST a URL and get back Markdown, JSON, HTML, a screenshot, or all of them. That same call handles anti-bot, proxy rotation, JS rendering, persistent authenticated sessions, and schema-based…

Hi Hacker News! I’m Ritam, working with the small but mighty team at Nori. We’ve been obsessed in recent months with how to take tools like Claude Code from “I’ll experiment around with this” to “This is the most useful and necessary thing I use every day”. When I first sat down with our team to check out what they’d built, I found my skepticism about agentic coding melting away—they’d built useful, high quality, handwritten skills, instructions that functioned as “skillsets” to tie skills together for consistent and replicable results, and tooling to manage loading the right context for the…

Hi HN! We're excited to announce the public beta of Mowgli, a spec-backed, AI-native design canvas for scoping and ideating on products. The productivity gains unleashed by coding agents have made everything else an unexpected bottleneck. In an effort to make the most out of this new paradigm, we ceded a lot of ground in product thinking, thoughtful UX, and design excellence. In other words, the pace of tooling for deciding what to build has not kept up. Mowgli is inspired by, in equal parts, Figma and Claude's plan mode. It evolves a detailed specification and designs for every screen and…
