What it does
Zinc is an API that covers the entire e‑commerce purchasing lifecycle, from discovery, to ordering, to tracking, to returns — across thousands of retailers
Your agent can one-shot a purchase, or try a thousand: search free, buy in one call, settle the charge in the same request. Fragile automations die. Zinc doesn’t — one integration to search, buy, track and return, kept working for you. Buy on the retailer accounts and pricing you already negotiated — even where the website shipped in 1996. Images, prices, weight, ratings and stock — read at the moment you ask. Not a catalog refreshed last week. One query reaches Amazon, Walmart, Target, Etsy and Shopify stores at once — structured results you can order from. Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Audio and Transparency mode. Up to 6 hours of listening on one charge and 30 hours with the…from zinc.com

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…

http://instantclick.io/ It seems the internet architecture won't bring us instant websites anytime soon. So here is a hack. I released this JS library last month (today is version 2.0 release, fixing v1.0's rough edges), it makes use of HTML5's pushState and preloading to make a website instant. It works like this: before clicking on a link, you'll hover over it. And there's a delay of 200-300 ms between these two events. InstantClick uses this delay to preload a page, when you click on a link it will display instantly in most case. (You can test on the website.) That's…

For a while, I had this idea of redesigning Microsoft employee badges for a modern and neat look. So I spared a few hours this weekend. It’s over a year Microsoft has started to rebrand itself, starting from its logo to a brand new looking OS, from campus shuttles to direction signs on the cam
