Basepoint

What it does

Most security scanners are built for security engineers. Basepoint is built for the rest of us — people shipping real apps with Cursor, Lovable, v0, and Claude Code who can build but were never taught to secure.

Paste your URL. Find out if your app is hackable — before someone else does. The dead-simple security check for people who vibe-code.

Paste your URL, create your free account, and get an honest security report — before someone else finds the holes for you. Free — no card required. Read-only & non-intrusive: we only check what's already public. You shipped fast — that's the whole point. But the same prompts that built your product also left the front door open: secret keys in the browser, databases anyone can read, config files one URL away from being downloaded. No agents to install, no repo access, no code. Just the link to your live app. Dozens of safe, read-only checks for exposed secrets, weak headers, leaky files and more. Every issue rated by severity, explained without jargon, with copy-paste fixes. API keys,…from gobasepoint.com

  Last week I wrote about building a scanner that writes its own exploits. A cron job runs Claude Code every night, it reads new CVEs, writes proof-of-concept checks, tests them against vulnerable and patched Docker instances, and opens PRs. I review and merge in the morning. That post was about how t

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, 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!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  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!
