What it does
Harness finds its way through your codebase, implements the change, and runs the checks before handing it back. Use your own API key or supported provider subscription, with full control over the models behind the work. you Drafts disappear when the connection drops. Fix it and add a test. A failed save clears the draft before the server accepts it. Ready for review Drafts now stay in place until the server confirms the save. Harness follows the relevant code paths, edits the right files, and runs the checks. You get a finished change to review, not a code snippet to complete. Dedicated agents handle code search, coding, research, and review. Each stays focused without filling the main…from harness.selimsandal.com

Browser Harness – Gives LLM freedom to complete any browser taskApr 2026 · github.com · ▲134Hey HN, We got tired of browser frameworks restricting the LLM, so we removed the framework and gave the LLM maximum freedom to do whatever it's trained on. We gave the harness the ability to self correct and add new tools if the LLM wants (is pre-trained on) that. Our Browser Use library is tens of thousands of lines of deterministic heuristics wrapping Chrome (CDP websocket). Element extractors, click helpers, target managemenet (SUPER painful), watchdogs (crash handling, file downloads, alerts), cross origin iframes (if you want to click on an element you have to switch the target first,…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
