Xorq – open compute catalog for AI
Hi HN, Hussain and Dan from Xorq here. After years of struggling with scaling compute that worked in notebooks but failed in production, we decided to do something about it. Data has standards like Iceberg and Delta. But compute is still a mess—trapped in notebooks, duplicated effort across teams, or baked into custom Airflow DAGs. We think of Xorq as the missing analog to Apache Iceberg, but for compute. We’ve spent the last year building Xorq, an *compute catalog* that helps teams *reuse, ship, and observe* transformations, features, models, and pipelines across engines. Xorq is built on:…
Xorq – open compute catalog for AI launched on July 29, 2025 with 36 votes, #628 of 9,223 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
Xorq is a compute catalog that helps data teams reuse, ship, and observe transformations, features, models, and pipelines across different engines. It addresses the problem of compute work trapped in notebooks or duplicated across teams by providing a standardized way to manage and deploy computational work, similar to how data standards like Iceberg organize data. Built on Arrow Flight for data transport and Ibis for cross-engine compatibility, Xorq enables teams to write transformations once and run them across multiple compute environments.

oqoqoAug 2026 · oqoqo.ai · ▲325Most benchmarks today exist in curated environments and do not translate well to the real world. We built Oqoqo to bridge this gap. Oqoqo makes it super simple to build realistic evals and custom benchmarks for tasks users actually care about. Oqoqo can: - Reliably measure how agent friendly your product surfaces are against Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi, Opencode, Cursor, GitHub Copilot - Regression test MCP, CLI, skills, SDK, and any agent facing interface (we are continuously using Oqoqo to dogfood and improve our own MCP/CLI) - Create and share custom benchmarks for how…

Trickle - Magic Canvas ▲1,064Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
