What it does

Manta AI is an autonomous testing agent for web applications. Give it a URL and it explores your app the way a real user would — mapping flows, finding bugs, and generating self-healing test cases. Describe a flow in plain English and Manta tests it for you, no script required. When your UI changes, the tests adapt on their own. Run the agent locally on any machine or server — test apps behind a firewall, on a private network, or even on localhost. Free tier open. No card required.

Manta crawls your web app like a real user, maps every flow, and catches breaking behavior automatically. No scripts. No selectors. No maintenance.

AI coding agents have decoupled code velocity from test coverage. Manual test scripts don't scale with that pace. Point Manta at any URL — staging or production. It navigates your UI, interacts with elements, and maps every page, flow, and component automatically. It identifies what matters, what's fragile, and what's changed. Every run deepens its model of your application's behavior. Bugs, regressions, dead clicks, broken flows — flagged automatically with full trace and reproduction context, before your users find them. Every part of the product, from your first crawl to your full test suite. Your entire app structure, mapped automatically. Every page, every route, every flow — built in…from mantaai.co

    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…
