What it does

Cueboard turns an iPad, phone, or spare browser screen into a context-aware control surface for your Mac. A lightweight companion detects the app in front and automatically surfaces verified actions for Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code, Slack, Chrome, Figma, and more. Customize every key, page, workflow, and context rule. Pair once, then tap controls from the screen beside your keyboard.

Cueboard turns an iPad, phone, or spare screen into context-aware Mac controls, with built-in app actions and editable workflows drafted by AI.

Cueboard turns the screen beside you into controls that change with the app in front of you. Use built-in actions, or describe a routine and let AI draft the workflow. A lightweight companion notices the frontmost app. It never reads your documents or sends keystrokes anywhere else. Cueboard matches the active app to a deck you can edit—native shortcuts, launches, links, and AI-drafted workflows. Open the deck on an iPad, phone, tablet, or second computer. Pair once, then keep it beside your keyboard. Tell Cueboard what you want to happen in plain English. AI drafts a sequence from the safe actions Cueboard supports, ready for you to inspect and shape. “Set up my standup: open Zoom, my…from usecueboard.com

    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…

    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…

    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…

  • 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.…

    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…
