Obvelum
Obvelum is a job platform where you don't apply - companies apply to you, and they don't know (in principle) who you are. You create by yourself an anonymous profile, mark yourself open, and companies could reach out to you based on what you can do. They only learn your name if you decide to tell them, and only after you've seen what the role is about (and what it pays). regarding the privacy: - Your name doesn't come out until you choose to release it, and a company has to show salary and role details first. - Auth is self-hosted Zitadel. Google sign-in requests only openid+email, no…

What it does
Stop sending resumes into the void. Obvelum flips the script: build an anonymous profile, showcase your skills, and let top companies apply directly to you. Reclaim your time, skip the ATS black box, and get hired on your terms. Free for candidates.
Interest is visible. Identity is optional. The private job marketplace where companies apply to candidates — not the other way around. Zero spam. Total privacy.

It's a site where you describe your ideal next job and get approached by top-paying startups. It’s confidential, ensuring that your current employer won’t find out. It's free for candidates, while we charge companies for access to the pool. They’re charged a subscription fee, not a traditional success fee, because it’s the only way to remain forever candidate-centric and not obsessed with placing profiles at any cost, like agencies are. I'm opposed to the AI trends in recruitment. Recruitment is opaque and needs more humanity in the process, not less. Consequently, we're stubborn about…

Stack, an open-source Clerk/Firebase Auth alternative2024 · stack-auth.com · ▲144Hey HN! Happy to finally launch Stack.

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons
Dev tools · May 2026 · kilo.ai
Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
