What it does
Spec-driven development has the right idea and the wrong timing. Every tool out there - Spec Kit, Kiro, the rest - puts spec-writing in front of one engineer, at the keyboard, right as they're about to build. Penling flips this approach and uses generative AI from the start of your project all the way through the lifecycle to a reviewable PR containing tested work and a fully documented build specification that your whole team agreed on.
Penling is the agentic spec-driven workflow where teams write the spec before the code. Structured goals, shared context, and a build process the whole team can follow — from brief to merged PR.
AI is changing how code gets written. We think it should also change how teams agree on what to build. Penling brings specs out of the CLI and into a shared workspace where designers, PMs, leads, and engineers shape the work before any code gets written, so the reasoning stays attached to what ships.

Spec Driven Development approach allows to squeeze more from coding agents thanks to few strong concepts: - decomposition across two dimensions. first you generate specs in multiple steps (requirements, code analysis, design), than you split task into multiple subtasks and implement them one by one - you clear context between every step - after spec generation and after subtask implementation. this helps keep cost low and context clear and focused which boost performance - specs written to disk help with information persistency - delivering specs layer by layer help to catch early when agent…

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
