Tell HN: The way I do simple data management for new prototypes

Hi folks! I have huge success on a prototype of this approach:- Store all data as json- App loads: load full json on a client- Something changes by user - change json locally and every 10 seconds save whole json to backend as a single json file- also every 10 seconds load the updated json from backend to client.Yes, I know, parallel access problems, lack of schema, lack of db, using file to store. But how much it makes life easier and speed ups development at start! I am in this over 20 years,

Show HN: Gambit, an open-source agent harness for building reliable AI agents

Hey HN!Wanted to show our open source agent harness called Gambit.If you’re not familiar, agent harnesses are sort of like an operating system for an agent... they handle tool calling, planning, context window management, and don’t require as much developer orchestration.Normally you might see an agent orchestration framework pipeline like:compute -> compute -> compute -> LLM -> compute -> compute -> LLMwe invert this so with an agent harness, it’s more like:LLM -> LLM ->

For me, Hacker News is probably the best community on the internet

For me, Hacker News is probably the best community on the internet. It’s not like others. Take Reddit, for example: at first glance it seems better, with tons of subreddits. But for a beginner, there is no real main entrance. With a new account, it’s a challenge - first you wait 5 days, then you need to earn karma just to post or comment in popular subreddits. On Twitter, you have to spend a long time building followers, or buy a checkmark, just to get access to recommendations. On Hacker News,

Looking for technical cofounder – guided, safety-critical maintenance software

I’m looking for a technical cofounder to build a guided, safety-enforced troubleshooting and repair system for industrial maintenance.I’m a maintenance/mechanical guy working with a lot of old, undocumented, heavily modified machines. The real problems I deal with daily: tribal knowledge, repeating the same diagnoses every few months, junior techs thrown at complex equipment, and safety steps getting skipped under pressure.The product is not a CMMS and not an “AI copilot”. It’s a work-execu

Is Grove (by OpenAI) a scam that no one talks about?

Second cohort, yet not a single evidence of first cohort actually happening. Plus for cohort 2 apps closed on 12th, cohort start on 22nd - 10 days while doable is unrealistic, and now five days until the start I can't find single mention of someone being contacted. If this is idea farming and scam - there should be more chatter about it...

Show HN: How I stopped ChatGPT from manipulating me

I've been trying to completely disable the followup suggestions that ChatGPT stubbornly appends at the end of nearly every response. You know, the ones that start with 'If you want' or 'Would you like me to'. It's infuriating.I consider these suggestions harmful and manipulative. They are probably there to maximize engagement, but for me they interrupt my flow, waste my attention and shift the assistant into acting like salesman or tutor.There's a useless toggl

Download More RAM (For Real)

It’s 2026, and the “Download More RAM” meme has evolved from comedy into product feedback. Meanwhile, the cloud’s default answer to everything is still: “cool, spin up a VM.”Which is… fine, if you enjoy:-renting an entire computer to open one app-becoming the temporary parent of that VM-installing dependencies you didn’t ask for-and paying for idle time while you go touch grass.For most people, the “VM abstraction” feels like renting a whole house because you needed a desk for two hours. With pl

Show HN: RoastDB – A searchable database of 3,800 specialty coffee beans

Hi HN! We built RoastDB (https://roastdb.com) – think Discogs for specialty coffee. A searchable index of beans from independent roasters around the world.*The problem*We got into specialty coffee gradually. Whenever we tried something we liked — a washed Colombian, a natural Ethiopian — we'd save the bag. At some point we had drawers of empty coffee bags we couldn't bring ourselves to throw away.Our flow was simple: go to a cafe we liked, drink coffee, buy a bag of whatever
