What it does

RocketSim is a developer tool that gives your iOS Simulator extra functionalities to increase day-to-day development productivity. Features include recordings with touches and bezels, performing actions on recent builds, and several design comparison features.

RocketSim helps iOS developers and AI agents test Simulator and physical-device apps with captures, network tools, app actions, accessibility, and automation.

Check your email to confirm your subscription—don’t forget to check your spam folder too! RocketSim lets you inspect, test, and debug your app in the Simulator — without breaking your flow in Xcode, Codex, or Cursor. Get started for free, no signup. Works with Xcode 16+ and compatible with Xcode 27's Device Hub. Open a live, interactive iOS Simulator in your browser using RocketSim. Review the app yourself or follow your AI coding agent without bringing Simulator.app to the foreground. RocketSim ships a version-matched rocketsim CLI and Agent Skill so Cursor, Xcode, Claude, Codex, and other AI coding tools can inspect and interact with your running Simulator app. Compared with other tools…from rocketsim.app

    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…

  • This works suprisingly well. Just give it instructions like "make it winter" or "remove the cars" and the photo is altered. Here are some examples of transformations it can make: Golden gate bridge: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma... Girl with a pearl earring: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brycedrennan/imaginAIry/ma... I integrated this new InstructPix2Pix model into imaginAIry (python library) so it's easy to use for python developers.

  • The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

  • Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
