BackSpin - Open AI Attention Exchanges

What it does

Most dev-tool ads are one-sided: the tool shows you ads, you get nothing. BackSpin flips that into a two-sided exchange, developers opt in and earn a share of revenue for the attention they give during AI wait states. It's private by design, never reading your code, prompts, or AI responses, and detecting AI activity from content-free signals only. It works everywhere you do: editors, CLIs, MCP hosts, and the browser. And every integration is opt-in and reversible, uninstalling cleanly.

BackSpin is the open attention exchange for AI-native workflows. Get paid for vibecoding and waiting. Turn AI wait states in VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity, Zed, and AI coding agents into verified human attention, useful discovery, and shared revenue.

We turn AI fiddle-faddling wait states into a verified attention marketplace. 50% of the revenue goes to you. $ 5,033 earned by developers Four steps turn idle wait states into verified attention and shared revenue. The loop runs every time your AI pauses to think. Your AI CLI or editor hits a wait state: thinking, generating, analyzing. Dead time, every session. A relevant, structured discovery card appears in the gap. No clicks required, no interruption to the flow. We confirm a real human was focused and active, gating on a human-score before anything is paid out. Quality-adjusted attention earns rewards, and the split between network and builder is transparent. Advertisers do not buy…from usebackspin.com

  We built an AI to review your pull requests2025 · infinitcode.ai · ▲53

  Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

  I built a tool to auto-accept AI slop and bigtech devs loves itMay 2026 · github.com · ▲17

  So, you know how bigtech gives nearly unlimited credits for coding tools and in the same time put a huge admin whitelist of what commands are allowed? So, instead of becoming a 100x engineers, you (including me) simply become a multi-window-enter-clicker I build a tool to solve this. It works locally, using OCR finds the "run" (or any other label you put e.g. accept, allow, fetch etc. ) and just clicks this button. Originally this was a tool for me and my team, but people seamed to love it so much, they encouraged me to share with you. I do understand that workflows in each bigtech company…

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
