Broccoli, one shot coding agent on the cloud

Hi HN — we built Broccoli, an open-source harness for taking coding tasks from Linear, running them in isolated cloud sandboxes, and opening PRs for a human to review. We’re a small team, and our main company supplies voice data. But we kept running into the same problem with coding agents. We’d have a feature request, a refactor, a bug, and some internal tooling work all happening at once, and managing that through local agent sessions meant a lot of context switching, worktree juggling, and laptops left open just so tasks could keep running. So we built Broccoli. Each task gets its own…

In plain words

Broccoli is an open-source tool that automates coding tasks by pulling work from Linear, executing them in isolated cloud environments, and opening pull requests for human review. Each task runs independently in its own sandbox, handling repository setup, implementation, testing, and review cycles without requiring local machine involvement. It's designed for teams managing multiple simultaneous coding requests who want to reduce context switching and free up developer resources.

  • Huzzah – a novel approach to coding with AIAug 2026 · danielvaughn.dev · ▲384

    Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah. I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself. I'd like to go back to writing code, but I don't want to go all the way back to fully manual coding. So I've come up with this…

    ChunkHound’s goal is simple: local-first codebase intelligence that helps you pull deep, core-dev-level insights on demand, generate always-up-to-date docs, and scale from small repos to enterprise monorepos — while staying free + open source and provider-agnostic (VoyageAI / OpenAI / Qwen3, Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini / Grok, and more). I’d love your feedback — and if you have, thank you for being part of the journey!

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
