A simple mobile web app inspired by Fuzzy-Search/realtime-bakllava that uses llama.cpp server backend with multimodal mode to describe and narrate what the phone camera sees. I built this thing in a few hours using a single ChatGPT thread to generate most things for me and iterate on this project. Here's the workflow: https://chat.openai.com/share/ea84ec69-5617-45e8-8772-ac2dcf...

Traycer AI▲190Hey everyone! We've built Traycer, a tool that transforms your GitHub issues—everything from descriptions and attached images to ongoing conversations—into clear, actionable implementation plans. You can easily import these plans into your IDE with our extension or use them with any other coding assistant you prefer. We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Traycer is totally free for open-source projects, and we've got a 2-week free trial if you're working with private repos. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

Hey HN, We are Winston, Edward, and James, and we built Meka Agent, an open-source framework that lets vision-based LLMs execute tasks directly on a computer, just like a person would. Backstory: In the last few months, we've been building computer-use agents that have been used by various teams for QA testing, but realized that the underlying browsing frameworks aren't quite good enough yet. As such, we've been working on a browsing agent. We achieved 72.7% on WebArena compared to the previous state of the art set by OpenAI's new ChatGPT agent at 65.4%. You can read more about it here:…

Hey HN! We’ve built a tool that dynamically adjusts the complexity of software interfaces based on a user's interaction with it. It works by hiding non-essential/advanced UI elements for new users, reducing cognitive load and guiding them to their "aha moment" more efficiently. We refer to this as „simple mode“. Non-essential features are progressively revealed when the user is ready to use them, and we’ve also added an option for users to manually switch „simple mode“ off. Every Feature in vykee consists of Elements. Elements can be selected via UI picker or via code by adding the…
