Karve
Not much to say. I work on windows, I hate postman, I need to manage bunch of .http files across multiple repositories. So I built a fast and native tool for myself and published it if you want to try it too. Any feedback would be nice, I really want it to be The obvious native Windows home for .http files

What it does
Karve is a native Windows API client built around plain http files. Cold start under 2 seconds. Organize requests from every repo in one workspace, switchenv environments, keep searchable history. Files stay on disk, Git-friendly. No account. Buy once.
Karve is a fast, native .http client for Windows — a workspace for the .http and .rest files scattered across your repos. Manage, run, and inspect API requests offline, no account, no subscription.
Stop hunting through repos for the one request you need. Find it, run it, and see exactly what was sent — without signing into anything. Your .http and .rest files stay where they are, work with Git, and never move into a proprietary collection. $29.99 once — not $29.99 a year · No account · No subscription One workspace across every repo — and one box that finds any request in it. Gather .http files from any repo into virtual folders — files never move. One box over every request, file, and past run — Ctrl+Shift+F . Run any request from its method line; the response lands in its own panel. JSON tree, raw, headers, timing, and the resolved request that was sent. Switch dev, staging, and…from karve.dev

Kr8s – a Python client library for Kubernetes2023 · github.com · ▲139Hey folks. I'm the author of kr8s. I’ve been working on kr8s for a while now and one of my core goals is to build a Python library for Kubernetes that is the most simple, readable and produces the most maintainable code. It should enable folks to write clean code when working with the Kubernetes API. If you're interested in how it compares with other libraries then check out [this post](https://jacobtomlinson.dev/posts/2023/comparison-of-kr8s-vs-...). Happy to answer any questions you might have in the comments here .

KodusOct 2025 · kodus.io · ▲145Hey everyone, Just wanted to share a quick update we just launched at Kodus. For those who don’t know it yet, Kodus is a code review agent that runs directly in your team’s Git workflow (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket… and now Azure DevOps as well). It helps maintain code quality and consistency by analyzing each PR based on your team’s own rules and repository standards. Support for Azure had been a common request — so if your team uses it, you can now plug Kodus right into your workflow and give it a try. Docs: https://docs.kodus.io/how_to_use/en/overview Repo:…
SkimJul 2026 · skim-tech.com · ▲141I built Skim because I was super dissatisfied with all existing Windows clients. I mean, it's not a rocket science, there should be some lightweight modern solution, isn't it? So I decided to create a client that just, you know, MAKES SENSE and has design younger than dinosaurs. Key points: * Obsessed with installer size: it should be under 5Mb. * BYOK AI. Cowriter, agentic search, summarization and other AI stuff is powered by your own key for Anthropic/Openrouter, or you can connect your own OpenAI-compatible server (including local) * No bloat. It should be as contextual as possible:…
A Karpathy-style LLM wiki your agents maintain (Markdown and Git)Apr 2026 · github.com · ▲260I shipped a wiki layer for AI agents that uses markdown + git as the source of truth, with a bleve (BM25) + SQLite index on top. No vector or graph db yet. It runs locally in ~/.wuphf/wiki/ and you can git clone it out if you want to take your knowledge with you. The shape is the one Karpathy has been circling for a while: an LLM-native knowledge substrate that agents both read from and write into, so context compounds across sessions rather than getting re-pasted every morning. Most implementations of that idea land on Postgres, pgvector, Neo4j, Kafka, and a dashboard. I…

Talanoa▲341Hi 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…

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…
