Ano – no-noise team chat with your code agent as your assistant
Hi HN! I'm building Ano because I was tired of Slack's bloat and sluggishness, and never got any value out of their agent implementation. Ano is built local-first for speed (using Rocicorp Zero), focused on communication, and lets you use your own code agent as an assistant (Claude in my case, but it works with Codex too). I use the code agent to summarize anything unread (linking back to what matters), respond with context, and share data to and from connected tools (GitHub, Posthog, Attio, etc). Using your code agent for this might sound counter-intuitive, but to me it's the most powerful…

What it does
Tired of a bloated, noisy chat app that eats your RAM and your focus? Ano is a faster, lighter team workspace — channels, threads, and DMs on a local-first sync engine, so it stays snappy. The difference: a Shell running your Claude Code in every channel, wired into 2,000+ tools (Linear, GitHub, PostHog, Notion). Spin up agent coworkers that do real work in the conversation. Bridges to Slack, so no one's left behind. Free to start.
Channels, threads, and DMs like Slack, with Claude Code and your CLIs wired into every channel so people and agents build side by side. Free macOS beta.
Chat, channels, and an embedded Shell running Claude Code. All in one desktop app. Channels, threads, and DMs, just like the apps you already use. The difference is underneath: a local-first sync engine that keeps every message on your device, so it stays fast, reliable, and light on memory. It is not a generic assistant. The Shell runs your own Claude Code, on your subscription, with the CLIs, MCP servers, and tools you already use, so it can do real work right inside the conversation. Bring in an external agent like OpenClaw or Hermes Agents, with a one-time key. The people you collaborate with are scattered across Slack workspaces: partners, customers, and other teams.

BulletAug 2026 · codewithbullet.com · ▲240Hi HN, excited to be sharing this with you guys today. TL;DR: Bullet is a fast coding agent. At our company, we were burning hours waiting on agent runs. The models weren’t the problem. The agent loops around them were slow (unnecessary planning, oversized context, repeated searches, and serial tool calls). So we built Bullet as a passion project, the goal being to help you iterate faster, without giving up quality: - It automatically selects the model and reasoning level for each prompt. - It runs independent searches, reads, and commands in parallel. - It uses targeted code search instead…
Agent-of-empires: OpenCode and Claude Code session managerJan 2026 · github.com · ▲118Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models. One…
Self-hosted company OS, Claude Code and Codex agents in departmentsSep 2026 · github.com · ▲50Hi HN, i am Dimitris, I have been using Claude Code and Codex agents, for some time now from the beggining i had been using them from inside my terminal mainly for coding. For the past 3 years i kept building so i have a homelab and a business server, which already has a lot of vms, so a lot of things to manage. So i decided to start building my own ideal version of using claude code, and codex flexibly and connect them easily with all my vms and infra but at the same time keep using them for coding, and as a personal assistant for daily use. So for the past months I built OtoDock. Its a…

20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲53Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…
Agent RelayJun 2026 · github.com · ▲8We were spending a lot of time re-writing the same primitives in projects we were doing getting claude + codex + other harnesses communicating in real time. Many other projects forced us into using their framework or harness or into a specific stack. So we open sourced an SDK that acts as the messaging layer without the rest of it. Still early, but we've been working on it and found it useful.

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
