Show HN: Gryt – self-hosted, open-source Discord-style voice chat

This weekend I finally shipped Gryt, a project I’ve been building since 2022 — an open-source, self-hostable Discord-style app focused on reliable voice chat + text.I’m the creator. I started it after getting fed up with Discord disconnects/paywalls and wanted something self-hosted and auditable.I started on this in 2022 and had an early proof-of-concept working back then (auth + friends list), but I quickly realized WebRTC voice isn’t something you can duct-tape together. I spent a big chu

Tell HN: Planning to end my life today

Tell HN: Going to end my life todayI'm 35 and I am going to end my life today. About year one ago I quit my job to work on my own startup (alone). Since then I made good progress in making the product, but very little in selling it. And there's competition in that space with newly-funded VC startups out-executing me. Shit I was so scared to contact my ICP to prospect and to sell -- I am ashamed at myself for messing this opportunity. I WASTED 10 MONTHS!!!! Also realized: it is an uphil

Show HN: Markdown specs that don't compile (Pandoc and SQLite for typed docs)

Hi HN, I wanted to write specs in plain Markdown but needed proper DO-178C traceability. At some point I joked: “we just need to marry Pandoc and SQLite.” This started as an internal tool for airborne software specifications and has been dogfooded for a couple of years. I think it’s finally in a state where it’s useful beyond our walled garden. It’s open source. It’s alpha. Rough edges everywhere..But it compiles its own docs, so you can clone the repo and start working immediately.SpecCompiler

Ask HN: Replacing RAG pipelines with a filesystem interface for AI agents

Every AI agent project I start ends up with the same boilerplate: chunk docs, pick an embedding model, set up a vector store, write retrieval logic, wire it into a custom tool.It works, but it's plumbing — and it needs to be rebuilt for every new agent or runtime.The idea I'm exploring: mount a drive at /drive/ with two directories:- /drive/files/ — actual documents (PDF, code, markdown, etc.)- /drive/search/ — virtual directory where the filenam

Launch HN: TeamOut (YC W22) – AI agent for planning company retreats

Hi HN, I’m Vincent, CTO of TeamOut (https://www.teamout.com/). We build an AI agent that plans company events from start to finish entirely through conversation. Similar to how Lovable helps build websites through chat, we apply that approach to event planning. Our system handles venue sourcing, vendor coordination, flight cost estimation, itinerary building, and overall project management.Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVyc-x-isjI. The product is li

Show HN: Kinetic SQL – A lightweight, real-time SQL Engine for Node.js

Hi HN, I'm the author.I've spent years building Node.js backends (mostly Express and NestJS) and I’ve consistently found traditional ORMs like TypeORM too heavy, while Prisma’s subscription models didn't quite fit my need for lightweight CDC (Change Data Capture). I wanted something universal that felt closer to the metal but still handled real-time events seamlessly.Over the past couple of days, I built Kinetic SQL. It's a thin, highly flexible SQL wrapper for Node.js (suppo

SpokedPy – Polyglot visual IDE with Universal IR, live execution (17 languages)

Hi HN,Today I open-sourced SpokedPy — a visual-first programming platform that treats source code as a fully translatable, executable, and auditable data structure.I built the entire core 81k+ lines of modular, production-oriented Python, 633+ pytest cases including property-based) in just 7 intense winter days (mostly with Claude Opus 4.6 which was released 3 days after the initial start of development).It was a “for fun” side project to see how dealing with multiple languages in a single visua

Show HN: Tentacle – Local-first note taking app that organizes itself

Hey HN, I'm Nicolas, this is my first post here.I built Tentacle after trying a bunch of PKM apps that either - required a cloud account to function - were hard to setup and use - or searched by exact keyword match in 2026.Tentacle is an open-source native desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) that stores your notes as plain markdown files in a folder you pick and indexes them in a local sqlite db with some extensions.You don't need an account and there's no vendor lock. Just .md fi

Show HN: BountyBook – A task marketplace where AI agents earn USDC

I've been obsessed with a question: what happens when AI agents can freely compete for work on an open market?So I built BountyBook. Post a bounty, attach USDC. Any agent claims it, does the work, submits output. An oracle verifies on-chain. If it passes, escrow pays out. That's it.What I'm most excited about is what I think this enables.The system is open on both sides - agents can post bounties too. Which means an agent could take a $50 research bounty, break it into sub-bountie

Show HN: OrangeWalrus, an aggregator for trivia nights (and other events) in SF

Two problems I encountered personally:1) Some buddies and I went to a trivia night late last year, only to arrive to find it cancelled (with signs still on the walls saying it happened every Tuesday, etc)2) Sourcing ideas for fun things to do in the city on a given night, in a given neighborhood. Some sites help a ton (e.g. funcheapsf), but often don't have everything I'd want to see, so we decided to build that out a bit.Anyway, I built this originally to solve #1, then a buddy and I

Show HN: My focus had a pattern. I built a macOS app to make it visible

I work long hours with headphones on, and I kept running into the same pattern: I’d start a session feeling fine, then a couple hours later I’d realize I’d been leaning forward or holding my head in one position without noticing. Not because I was trying to. Just because focus has a way of quietly rearranging you.I tried a few “reminder” style approaches and apps, but they didn’t stick. The problem wasn’t motivation. It was awareness. I didn’t want an app telling me what to do. I wanted somethin
