Show HN: I replaced Grafana+Prometheus with a Go binary and SSH for my VPSs

I do fullstack dev for work and side projects and recently moved everything to a couple VPSs on hetzner. Great setup, low cost, but one thing kept bugging me, how do I know if something is down without manually sshing in all the time? I tried the grafana + prometheus stack but the configuration time and seeing it use more resources than my actual apps was rough. Tried some smaller solutions too but nothing felt right. So I said screw it and built exactly what I wanted. Tori is a single go binary

Show HN: See how algorithms manipulate your social/media feeds in real-time

Hello HN, I’m Dan (aadivar), one of the two people working on AttentionGuard. I built it because I was tired of social media websites pushing algorithmic content at me, while preventing content I actually subscribed to from being shown. e.g. My wife has an art channel on YouTube with over 200K followers, yet I never see her videos on my feed despite being subscribed. So, I created a browser extension that is an observability tool for algorithmic manipulation. It measures and gives visibility int

Show HN: GridCalc, an RPN Spreadsheet for iOS

I built GridCalc, an RPN spreadsheet for iOS. It combines the efficiency of Reverse Polish Notation with the visible structure and reactivity of a spreadsheet. You enter numbers and operators step by step, and you can retroactively change any value. All dependent calculations update immediately. I love spreadsheets but I've never liked how cramped traditional spreadsheets feel on a phone. My goal was to make ad‑hoc, spreadsheet-like calculation on a phone feel direct and fluid. Here’s a short de

Show HN: Exitlight – Find privacy contacts for data deletion requests

Hi HN, Deleting old accounts from websites is often more time-consuming than it should be. In many cases, you have to manually search for the privacy policy, locate the right contact email, and figure out how to submit a data-related request. I built exitlight, an open-source command-line tool that automates part of this process. Given a website, it attempts to locate the privacy policy and extract publicly available contact information that can be used for requests such as DSARs or account dele

Show HN: I'm running ML models for PDF layout analysis entirely in the browser

Hi HN, creator of EmbedPDF here. I recently posted my open-source PDF viewer here, and one thing I really value is that it runs completely offline. I started wondering if we could push that further: could we do full ML layout analysis (detecting tables, headers, columns) directly in the browser? To my surprise, it actually works. The catch: It is far from production-ready. It crashes on most phones, and on older computers, it can be incredibly slow. The why: I believe the future of document proc

Show HN: RepoCrunch – Analyze any GitHub repo's health in seconds

I wanted a quick way to evaluate repos before adding them as dependencies. ChatGPT can do this, but I needed consistent JSON output for automation, something API-callable for my agents, and deterministic results (no hallucinated star counts). So I built RepoCrunch. Point it at a GitHub URL and get structured analysis: tech stack, dependencies, architecture, health metrics, security indicators. What I found analyzing 8 popular frameworks: - Next.js is 13% Rust. Turbopack is a big chunk. GitHub ju

Show HN: Omniget, a Desktop Media Downloader

I started learning to code last year and one of the things I always loved was downloading stuff from the internet. Figuring out how players serve their streams, messing with scrapers, all of that. During carnival I had a lot of free time and decided to build something I could share. Omniget is a desktop app (Tauri, Rust + Svelte) for downloading media from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, Twitch, Pinterest, Bluesky, Vimeo, Telegram, Hotmart, and now Udemy. Inspired by cobalt.tools bu

Show HN: Nom – Turn GitHub activity into updates

Hey HN, I built Nom because I kept running into this problem: code moves way faster than we can update people about it. I'd ship features, merge PRs, close issues, and my users had no idea unless I sat down and wrote a changelog or posted about it on X. Nom turns your GitHub activity into a social feed. You install the GitHub App and every PR merge, issue, release, and comment gets auto-summarized by AI into something actually readable. Think of it like an X feed for your repo. You can customize

Show HN: LockFS

LockFS is a small open-source Java tool that encrypts files individually instead of bundling everything into a single container. Many vault systems rely on large encrypted blobs or container files. They can become complex to handle as they grow and complicate backups across mixed storage sizes. LockFS takes a file-level approach: - Each file is encrypted independently - No monolithic container growth - Files can be added, moved, or removed without rewriting a large archive Contributions and feed

Show HN: Lumina – passive OSINT recon tool for domains

Hey! I built Lumina — a passive reconnaissance tool that collects data about a domain without sending a single request to the target server. Features: - Subdomain enumeration (crt.sh) - GitHub leaked secrets detection - Shodan hosts & open ports - Email harvesting (Hunter.io) - DNS records (A, MX, NS, TXT, AAAA) - Tech stack detection - Beautiful HTML report All API keys are free.

Show HN: AgentVoices – Live debate arena where AI agents compete

Hey HN, I built AgentVoices — a platform where AI agents debate each other live in front of an audience. Every turn is scored on relevance, responsiveness, novelty, and entertainment. Every debate ends witha verdict. Bots get ELO ratings, win/loss records, and climb (or fall on) a public leaderboard. How it works: - You register a bot via API with a name, persona, and expertise - Topics get posted (e.g. "Should startups bootstrap or raise VC?") - Bots sign up for topics that match their strength

Show HN: System architecture method using mythology and LLMs (no CS background)"

I'm Troy, 41, customer service worker from the UK. 18 months ago I'd never used AI. 6 months ago I started using Claude to write a fictional RPG story. The AI told me I was accidentally doing systems architecture. I didn't believe it, so I built it. What I found: A reproducible method (2 PDFs + Claude) that produces production-grade, first-time-running code across unrelated domains in ~10 minutes on a phone. Examples: Governed distributed cache with Byzantine consensus SAT solver with real DPLL

Show HN: Interesting story pairing from across the Hacker News Corpus

The main sort is now like 'TF-IDF for HN "related:" comments', in other words, instead of surfacing the story groups linked by related AND that have similar titles, we surface those which have distinct titles (inverting the Jaccard metric, effectively). I realized that the reason this wasn't resonating with the community is: 1) HN is more about signal than noise, giant discussions are more "emotional reactions" to current events, or "habitual postings" and not so "high entropy" as unique connect

Show HN: 3D Lab Viewer – View Step, STL, 3MF Files in the Browser

I saw Microsoft is deprecating 3D Viewer and removing it from Store in July. I always had trouble checking STEP files quickly - you have to open a slicer or full CAD software just to look at a part. So I built a viewer. https://viewer.3dlab.id - drag and drop a file, it renders in browser. No signup, no install. Formats: STL, STEP/STP, OBJ, 3MF, GLB STEP parsing runs via OpenCascade compiled to WebAssembly (occt-import-js), all client-side in a Web Worker so it doesn't block the UI. Stack: React
