Embedr – Agentic IDE for Arduino, ESP32, and More

Hi HN, I’m building an agentic IDE for hardware developers. It currently supports Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and a bunch of other boards (mostly hobbyist for now, but expanding to things like PlatformIO). It can already write and debug hardware projects end-to-end on its own. The goal is to have it also generate breadboard views (Fritzing-style), PCB layouts, and schematics. Basically a generative EDA tool. Right now, it’s already a better drop-in replacement for the Arduino IDE. Would love feedback from folks here.

    Agentic Coding Tools – Directory for AI agents and vibe coders2025 · aisnoop.org · ▲5

    I put together a directory of agentic coding tools & things like autonomous app builders, CLI agents, VSCode copilots, and multi-agent dev platforms. Most of these tools can plan, scaffold, and write code with minimal input. Some are polished, some experimental. I wanted a way to compare them all in one place. You can filter by autonomy level, LLMs used, pricing, open source, etc. It’s a compact UI—works on mobile, has dark mode, and no signups or fluff. Would love feedback: Are there tools I’ve missed? Anything that should be organized differently? Info you wish was included? Cheers.

    Hi HN! I've never posted anything on here before, but this project was too fun to pass up. I've been learning a lot about agents lately, and wanted to see if I could replicate some of the results of Windsurf and Cursor. Generally I love these tools, but when you're stuck behind an "enterprise" firewall, they don't work as well. This sad state of affairs motivated me to understand SWE agents more. Does it work? Yes. Is it as good as Cursor and Windsurf? Not quite, but it's pretty darn close, depending on the model you use. I'm lacking a few features like semantic indexing, MCP support, but…

    emcee – connect agents to APIs (via MCP)2025 · github.com · ▲6

    Hi! Mattt and I thought it would be cool (and maybe even useful) if you could easily connect Claude to any API. Well, actually we thought it would be cool if we could order pizza and shitpost directly from our AI-powered IDE. So we made emcee. emcee takes a remote (OpenAPI documented) API, generates an MCP server, and exposes the API methods to your agent (or other MCP client) as tools. The easiest way to try it out is with the Claude desktop app (directions on GitHub). We think emcee is actually pretty helpful in a startup/SaaS context as an interface to your internal admin APIs. It…

    Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

    I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
