My recipe app picked up users when a similar app shut down, and I kept noticing people scrambling to export their data, so I created this project to scratch my own itch.The 3 main purposes this serves are:1. Give the public a way to find how to export their data or find a replacement if one of the apps they use shuts down.2. Give app creators a way to get their apps in front of people who are actively looking for a replacement for a similar app. Sponsored spots are labeled and never change the dates or export steps.3. Provide inspiration for app creators looking for ideas for what to build next. Just because apps shut down doesn't mean they were not good ideas; many times they shut down for other reasons, like poor execution, no marketing, over-spending, etc.Every date and export step links to the company's own notice.I'm always open to ideas to make it more useful. I read all the comments and constructive criticism and input are always welcomed. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50412639 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
The apps and platforms that help family caregivers manage their loved ones’ needs are becoming more capable, but the broader issue of caregivers’ well-being remains unsolved.
Around 7PM each weeknight, I find myself standing in front of the fridge, trying to decide on something for dinner that won't make my husband complain, "Chicken again?" Yes, I should meal plan more, but I don't, so this is where I'm at. A nightly battle in which the chicken usually wins. Recently, my best […]
Tandem is an open-source sync engine and client-side database that plugs into your existing infrastructure. Add the Tandem library to sync data in real time across your clients and server, without deploying any new services.I started work on Tandem 6 years ago as a side project. I was frustrated by the sync engine landscape at the time, thinking I could build a better DX and require less lock-in. Even now, sync engine companies and “full-stack databases” need you to migrate to their database or provision a separate service with auth, networking, etc. This makes them annoying to maintain and also harder to adopt incrementally.Tandem is designed to just be embedded into your existing frontend and backend code. You define a schema, set up a database adapter (any SQL-like database is supported), add the new sync endpoint to your existing API, and then you're good to go.Tandem uses DST (Deterministic Simulation Testing) on every PR and nightly to ensure correctness. Our DST system Gatekeeper lets us model not only storage and network failures, but also race conditions, by gating each call between client/server/other services independently.Tandem currently supports any React-based frontend, any serverful backend (like Cloudflare Durable Objects), and any SQL-like database. New adapters are easy to build, and PRs and issues are appreciated!Open-source and MIT licensed: https://github.com/tanishqkancharla/tandem Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50398763 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
Hidehiko ASAHI shares a month of WalShadow private-preview testing, comparing replication latency with ClickPipes and checking data correctness, schema changes, and recovery.
OpenAI introduces BioBasicsBench, a 100-task benchmark measuring how well AI agents interpret raw experimental data and handle everyday wet-lab science.
How vLLM migrated its CUDA build and compiled dependencies to the LibTorch Stable ABI, enabling compatible PyTorch upgrades without rebuilding vLLM.
Here is Cerea, a self-hostable, open-source (Apache 2.0) chat+agent frontend for LLMs. It works alone with any OpenAI-compatible inference provider, but it's way better when coupled with the model gateway I'm also developing, Pystino (https://github.com/paoloviviani/Pystino).I came to this after struggling to find a hosted chat interface that was truly open source, that I really enjoyed to use, and that was simple enough to be shared and used by family. In particular, I was looking for something that could provide the smooth and integrated user experience of commercial products for the tasks needed by family (e.g., document editing, form filling, notes and knowledge management), but backed by open models hosted wherever I decide.Then it became richer, now supporting: remote coding agents (wrapping Opencode), delegation and coordination between agents, integration between chat/projects and code agents (this one to me is a pain point for Claude, which I use at work), projects, RAG, rich artifacts support, schedules, and more.You can try it yourself, either cloning the full repo and head to Cerea/kit, or just the deploy kit with a script (https://github.com/paoloviviani/Cerea#quick-start).It's just a docker compose with a ./configure script that helps to generate a sensible .env for the specific scenario. It works in the browser and as a PWA on mobile.I hope you'll enjoy, feel free to reach out for questions. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50384502 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

As we've seen with the Ubuntu critical CVE-2026-98432 (CVSS 9.8), AI-dicovered zero day exploit are being reported at an exponential rate and we don't have the process for dealing with the flood of exploits in real time.What we need is an AI-based system for autopatching systems based on real time information. The vendor's fix can take days or weeks to be out (is the Ubuntu thing patched yet?) and meanwhile the grid is vulnerable to exploitation, especially AI worms.Repairer is a small program that runs on each of your servers. The day an exploit goes public it puts up a stopgap that blocks it, and once the real fix is up it takes the stopgap back off by itself.A stopgap only takes something away — drop certain packets, turn off a kernel module or service, remove a setuid bit. It never opens a port, installs or downloads anything, nor runs code. It arms an undo playbook before applying the stopgap, so the change reverts if affects any services.It only ever acts on rules you sign with a (hardware) crypto wallet.Let's go further: stopgaps are written and checked by a swarm of AI agents (gnosh.ai sessions) running on gno.land, each with bonded stake. Each stopgap is run on fresh machines, and whoever is caught lying loses their stake to whoever caught them.The agent is built and tested on Ubuntu and Debian, all open source, standard-library Go. More distros coming. Let's build repairer together.https://gno.security/repairer/ https://github.com/gnosecurity/repairer Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50388417 Points: 1 # Comments: 1
One underperforming GPU can slow an entire distributed training job. The node may pass basic health checks and show normal utilization, leaving operators to...
In production AI agents, context management is the real bottleneck. This post presents a four-layer context engineering framework (architecture, prompts, file-based tools, and verification agents), implemented in working code from Deep Insight, an open source multi-agent data analysis solution on the Strands Agents SDK and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.
