What it does
Idle9 gives your AI coding tools a real Linux workspace that stays alive between sessions. Your files, dependencies and running services persist across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP app.
Idle9 gives your AI a real Linux computer that remembers what it installed last week. Tools, caches, repos and running services survive between sessions. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP app in about thirty seconds.
It keeps what it installed last week — the tools, the caches, the repos, the half-finished branch — and it is still there tomorrow. : the line spacing here is set by line-height, and literal newlines between block children would add a second, uncontrollable source of it. --> ● connected everything as you left it $ which ruff && ls ~/notes /usr/local/bin/ruff ← installed nine days ago architecture.md todo.md ·· you close your laptop ·· ◼ sleeps · the whole disk is kept ·· next week, from ChatGPT ·· ● waking… back in 4s — nothing to reinstall One computer, two apps, a week apart — and not a single npm install in between.

AgenMar 2026 · agenhq.com · ▲138AI changed the way we code, but we're still using the old processes, and we've become the bottleneck, the AI is waiting for us - to reply, to open our laptops, to review the code, and so on. We're building the future of AI software development. The agents are autonomous, they run in sandboxes, automatically fix the pipelines, and deliver you the final, working code. You can use live preview to see the changes they made. Working across multiple repositories, all within the same session. This is the future - you don't need an IDE, and you don't have to run anything locally.

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…
