Fix writing in any app without breaking flow
What it does
Refyne is a writing assistant designed for one thing: better text without context switching. Select text anywhere, press a hotkey, and Refyne replaces it in-place with a cleaner version. Use built-in modes for quick fixes, clarity, tone, and brevity, or create Personalized Modes for your own workflows: translate, summarize, turn notes into emails, rewrite for your brand voice, or format replies. No browser extension, no copy-paste loop, no lost focus. Just writing that keeps up with you.

Reproof14d ago · reproof.app · ▲21Hey HN! I've written more words on the internet than I could count, for everyone from Zapier to Wirecutter. And for years it's bugged me that nearly every writing app still treats the writing surface as a linear sheet of paper, with paragraphs one after another and no space for experimentation. And so I and a friend build Reproof.app as what I've taken to calling a writing app for perfectionists. It's built around paragraph versions. You can add new versions to any paragraphs and swap between them to see how the different takes read in context. You can cut a paragraph as a clipping to save…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Today, 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).
