Show HN: Doomscrolling Research Papers

Hi HN,Would love your thoughts on Open Paper Digest. It’s a mobile feed that let’s you “doomscroll” through summaries of popular papers that were published recently.Backstory There’s a combination of factors lead me to build this:1. Quality of content social media apps has decreased, but I still notice that it is harder than ever for me to stay away from these apps. 2. I’ve been saying for a while now that I should start reading papers to keep up with what’s going on in AI-world.Initially, I se

Microsoft won't let me pay a $24 bill, blocking thousands in Azure spending

Two years ago, a $24 autopay charge on my Azure account failed. The invoice is now marked "Locked" in their billing portal.I cannot pay this invoice. There is no button to pay it. There is no button to dismiss it. There is no way to interact with it at all.Azure displays a banner: "You must pay all previous invoices before creating new subscriptions." Fair enough. I would love to pay it. Microsoft won't let me.So I tried to contact support.The Azure portal requires a &qu

Show HN: Give your customers pricing clarity, especially the enterprise ones

Most companies start with simple pricing. But the moment you land real enterprise customers, everything fragments: every big customer negotiates different discounts, thresholds, exceptions etc. And the real problem isn’t even complexity — it’s inconsistency. Once the numbers stop matching, trust drops, usage lags, renewals stall, and expansion stops before it starts.Big players like Azure, AWS etc. already know this. They invest millions into their pricing calculators because pre-transaction pri

Show HN: I built an open-source Rust/TS AI agent runtime with a Next.js-style DX

Link: https://docs.trysoma.ai/For the past ~9 months I’ve been building Soma, an open-source AI agent & workflow runtime written in Rust, with a TypeScript SDK (Python coming soon). It’s not a framework; it’s meant to sit underneath whatever agent/tooling code you already write (Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, custom code, etc.). It provides features around your framework + a better DX for building agents. I’ve tried to take a Next.JS model: open-source, good DX, self-deployabl

Show HN: Quest - A GeoGuessr-inspired game for finding mountain peaks

Howdy HN! I spend a lot of time roaming around the Pyrenees and wanted an interesting way to learn the names of mountain peaks, so I built Quest.It's a geography challenge where you are given the name and elevation of a peak and have to determine where it is on the map. It's built using OSM data, you get 10 rounds of 2 minutes max to pinpoint the location of a random peak, either globally or in a specific region.It's free and does not require an account to start playing, but you c

Ask HN: What did onboarding training look like in OS kernel teams?

Context: I'm wondering how did OS kernel teams provide training to their new hires.I'm mostly curious about:- NT kernel / XNU kernel / Android kernel teams, or anything that is not OSS like Linux, e.g. some prop RTOS team would also count- When teams still hired new graduates from targeted schools into kernel teams. Not sure whether your team is still doing this so I put up a past tense.Questions:- How much time do new hires work on the training? Do you give e.g. 3 months to

Show HN: Coding Agent Session Search (Cass)

I’m very pleased to introduce my latest tool for both humans and coding agents: the coding agent session search, or “cass” for short.This tool solves a direct pain point I’ve been experiencing for months as a heavy user of coding agents, with tons of sessions across many tools (Claude Code, codex, cursor, and now gemini-cli) and projects: I’ll know that I talked about something, but be unable to find it or even remember where to try to look for it.I wanted something instantly available in the te

Show HN: Hoodl.net – Find and Vet Top X Influencers in Seconds with PageRank

Hey HN,I've been grinding on influencer marketing pains for too long—agencies charging a fortune for unvetted spreadsheets, or worse, weeks lost doomscrolling X for creators who ghost or underdeliver. So I built HOODL.NET: an algorithmic engine that continuously scrapes and indexes verified X accounts (5k+ followers baseline), pre-computes influence scores via PageRank on retweet networks, and serves ranked top nodes in your niche on demand. No more guesswork; just signal from the noise.*Qu

Show HN: NannyCam – A Baby Monitor App That Works Online or Offline

Hi HN,I’m a parent and indie developer, and after dealing with unreliable baby monitors (disconnects, background noise, constant false alerts), I built something simpler and more reliable for our home — and decided to share it.NannyCam turns any two phones into a baby monitor with a focus on privacy and ease of use:• Works online or completely offline When WiFi is down or unavailable, the devices connect directly. No cloud, no accounts, nothing stored.• “Loud noises only” mode Instead of transmi

Show HN: Beads Viewer (Bv)

I'm a huge fan of Steve Yegge's great beads project, which is a task management system for use by coding agents.In fact, I probably type or paste the string "beads" 500+ times a day nowadays across all my coding agent sessions (I'm juggling like 10 projects at the same time now, which you'll start to see soon as I finish and release them in the coming days and weeks.)I'm usually having GPT-5 Pro make plans to my specifications and iterate on them a bunch of tim
