    Tilde started from a simple observation: AI agents are only as useful as the environment they can work in. Giving an agent a prompt is easy. Giving it the right files, credentials, tools, context, and execution environment, safely and repeatably, is much harder. Over the past year, we learned a lot

    Hey folks, I've been building Clark solo, with the aim to match Manus agent (I really like it!) in features and capabilities, but also in its relentless ability to just complete tasks while using browser, computer etc. So far I think I've achieved 1:1 core feature parity: 1) computer use agent 2) browser use in same thread 3) wide and deep research - clark calls clark 4) integration with google tools Would love to have community feedback and for you to try it out, a couple thousand people already using it daily for very broad use cases. You can use this referral link, that hopefully works…

    I've been a long-time Cloudflare user, but sometimes I just want a global load balancer without the lock-in and with full configuration control (e.g., some Cloudflare rules require an enterprise plan). I love Caddy for its easy configuration, and that's why I created Novnaode. It makes it easy to launch hosted Caddy instances (with Nginx coming soon) and puts you fully in control of how to manage the configurations. No more being restricted by enterprise tiers or limited configuration options - just simple, powerful, and flexible global load balancing. Check it out here:…

    Hey HN, I’m Surya and I’m excited to show you WarpBuild! WarpBuild provides fast, secure `x86-64` and `arm64` Github actions runners. This speeds up your workloads by 30%, at half the cost, and takes ~2mins to get started. We’ve been seeing pretty good results since we opened up signups a week ago and I’ve shared some numbers publicly here [1]. Currently, we support linux runners for Github organizations (not personal accounts) and MacOS support is coming soon (~Jan). The way the runners work is deceptively simple: Runners are assigned to hardware that is ideal for build workloads with fast…

    Hi HN, I wanted to share an exciting new open-source project: "VulcanSQL"! If you're interested in seamlessly transitioning your operational and analytical use cases from data warehouses and databases to the edge API server, this open-source data API framework might be just what you're looking for. VulcanSQL (https://vulcansql.com/) is suitable for following use cases: * Customer-facing analytics - expose analytics in your SaaS product for customers to understand how the product is performing for them via customer dashboards, insights, and reports. * Data Sharing - sharing…

    Facebook's Katran looked too scary (and I don't do C++), so I thought I would investigate using XDP/eBPF to redirect packets at high speed and Go to do the control plane work of health-checking backed servers and managing configuration. With luck the resulting binary should be easy to deploy by non-developers. It's still not mature, but seems to work. Code was written in a very exploratory manner, and I'm not a developer so it is quite shocking at the moment, but I aim to improve it. It is intended to be horizontally scalable with ECMP and has been tested on service providing…

    Hey HN, I'm excited to share Orbital, a new approach for unifying APIs and Data sources! Rather than relying on glue code to bridge endpoints, Orbital leverages annotations in schemas & API specs to build the integration dynamically. The traditional method of crafting glue code often becomes repetitive and burdensome to maintain in the long run. With Orbital, developers embed tags to their existing API specs (OAP, Protobuf, etc), indicating where data can be sourced, and publish these specs to Orbital (which runs self-hosted). Consumers query these tags with our TaxiQL language, and Orbital…
