Prism – Let browser agents access any app
Hey HN, We’re Alex, Land, and Rajit. We’re building Prism (prismai.sh), a tool that helps browser agents authenticate onto websites with user credentials. Developers pass in credentials, Prism logs into a website on their behalf, and hands them back the cookies so they have an authenticated session. Here’s an example of how developers can use Prism to complete username/password flows (https://youtu.be/SEtVUnWnxuE), and here’s an example of how developers can use Prism to complete login flows that require an OTP code (https://youtu.be/fe9w9PvrwH0). We spoke…
Prism – Let browser agents access any app launched on September 25, 2025 with 21 votes, #580 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Prism is a tool that enables browser agents to authenticate onto websites by handling login workflows on behalf of developers. Users provide credentials to Prism, which logs into a website and returns authenticated session cookies for the agent to use. The service handles standard username/password flows as well as login processes requiring OTP codes. It is designed for developers building browser agents who need secure credential management without manually embedding sensitive information in their systems.

Hi HN, I'm Barry and I've built Prism.Tools (https://blgardner.github.io/prism.tools/) – a collection of client-side developer utilities that respect your privacy. Many of these tools were used way back in the days when I ran a BBS and started my communities first ISP, serving three local communities with Dial-Up Internet, Web Hosting etc. The tools have been refined to reflect the changes in tech since then and designed for the Novice and Pro alike. As I locate more tools others may find useful I will refine and add them to the collection. Use them, Share them, or not.…
A web browser agent in your Chrome side panel2025 · github.com · ▲153Hey HN, I'm excited to share BrowserBee, a privacy-first AI assistant in your browser that allows you to run and automate tasks using your LLM of choice (currently supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama). Short demo here: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/209c7042-6d54-4fc... Inspired by projects like Browser Use and Playwright MCP, its main advantage is the browser extension form factor which makes it more convenient for day to day use, especially for less technical users. Its also a bit less cumbersome to use on websites that require you to be…

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…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
