What it does
brom is a configurable CLI for recording HTTP transactions and improving security practices, designed for use in local environments and CI tools. Since you know your app best, you can use our rules syntax to write your own HTTP transaction tests, and fully integrate brom into your build process. Get your headers in order before deployment.
brom is a configurable CLI for recording HTTP transactions and improving security practices, designed for use in local environments and CI tools. Get your headers in order before deployment. brom is available as an npm package, and must be installed globally. Navigate to the root directory of your project and execute brom, followed by the path to your server file and the port which it runs on. brom will start proxying your application on another port (defaults to 9999) and launch a gui in your default browser. At this point you can navigate to localhost:9999 in another browser window and start interacting with your site. brom proxies your server, recording HTTP transactions as they stream…from brom.horse

Muscle-Mem, a behavior cache for AI agents2025 · github.com · ▲226Hi HN! Erik here from Pig.dev, and today I'd like to share a new project we've just open sourced: Muscle Mem is an SDK that records your agent's tool-calling patterns as it solves tasks, and will deterministically replay those learned trajectories whenever the task is encountered again, falling back to agent mode if edge cases are detected. Like a JIT compiler, for behaviors. At Pig, we built computer-use agents for automating legacy Windows applications (healthcare, lending, manufacturing, etc). A recurring theme we ran into was that businesses already had RPA (pure-software scripts), and…

Keep – GitHub Actions for your monitoring tools2023 · github.com · ▲181Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. A few months ago, we introduced here at HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34806482) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else. While talking to developers and devops, we found that a lot of companies use many tools…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Retool▲640Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it. Today, we’re excited to get HN’s thoughts on one of our new products: Retool Mobile. It lets you build and deploy mobile apps in minutes, not days. The idea is there is a large class of line-of-business mobile apps, and the process of getting a simple form + button on a mobile device, in a native app,…
