Project mention: Show HN: Write.md, a free, open-source, themeable Markdown editor for macOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-11
Recently adopted https://github.com/marktext/marktext as I wanted the editable preview that Obsidian offers, but for all .md, not just items in my vault. I dig it so far. And it does offer printing of the render.

This was Fig's smartest move. Every other approach at the time either forced you onto a brand-new terminal emulator (Warp, Tabby) or left you stuck with the weak completion of the day. Fig chose to piggyback instead — it supported macOS Terminal, iTerm2, Tabby, Hyper, Kitty, WezTerm, Alacritty, and even the embedded terminals in VS Code, the JetBrains IDEs, and Android Studio. You changed nothing. You installed an app.

Project mention: Recordly: A cross-platform OSS alternative to Screen Studio | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-03

InvokeAI
Invoke is a leading creative engine for Stable Diffusion models, empowering professionals, artists, and enthusiasts to generate and create visual media using the latest AI-driven technologies. The solution offers an industry leading WebUI, and serves as the foundation for multiple commercial products.
Project mention: Automatic1111 for Apple metal, 40% speed up sd1.5 | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-12Invoke AI is also really good if you prefer working in a canvas-style environment, in a more traditional graphical way. It easily has the nicest workflows for outpainting/regional/inpainting by far.

This was Fig's real moat. It didn't try to guess what should follow git checkout. It defined a completion spec — a declarative schema describing a CLI's subcommands, options, and args. The withfig/autocomplete repo held specs like that for hundreds of popular CLIs, maintained by 400+ contributors. That data was Fig's single most valuable asset, and the part it open-sourced under the MIT license.

super-productivity
Super Productivity is an advanced todo list app with integrated Timeboxing and time tracking capabilities. It also comes with integrations for Jira, GitLab, GitHub and Open Project.
I tried to make the GH Wiki work and managed to address 6 of the 7 concerns brought up by the author using a GH Action to mirror a directory of docs. It was my first GH Action and proved to be trickier than I thought. For those who just need to expose some markdown and don't want to bother with gh-pages you might find it useful:
https://github.com/super-productivity/super-productivity/blo...
The generic-ness of the wiki wasn't an issue for me as I only intended on using it as a temporary measure to build up the bulk of the content and coordinate with the main dev on finding a balance between the flashy website with its guides and the less flashy docs. gh-pages is the obvious next step of course.

appium
Cross-platform automation framework for all kinds of apps, built on top of the W3C WebDriver protocol
Project mention: AI-Native Mobile Device Automation: Give Your AI Agent Eyes and Hands on Real Phones | dev.to | 2026-04-09Appium, Detox, Espresso, XCTest — these traditional mobile testing frameworks are built for humans writing test scripts. They assume you know the screen hierarchy in advance, that you'll write explicit waits, that you'll maintain page objects. They produce verbose, stateful sessions that burn through an LLM's context window before anything useful happens.

Project mention: Let your Coding Agent debug the browser session with Chrome DevTools MCP | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-15
I do this via BrowserOS -- https://github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS
It has an in-built MCP server and I use it with claude code, codex and like it quite a lot.

Project mention: ScribeDog alternatives - marktext, Zettlr, Joplin, and logseq | libhunt.com/r/scribedog | 2026-07-21
Like Zettlr, an open-source Markdown editor for people who write — but with true WYSIWYG editing (no raw syntax in the editor) and AI assistance that runs fully local via Ollama, Jan.ai, or LM Studio, plus offline voice dictation via whisper.cpp. Tauri instead of Electron, MIT-licensed, no telemetry.

Project mention: Show HN: Intellisense style autocompletions inside of Bash | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-01
I've been working on my Bash plugin called flyline for a few months now and thought I'd show my latest feature: popup Intellisense style autocompletions.
The completions are generated using Bash's existing completion framework (commonly scop/bash-completion or your own completion scripts). And if you don't have a completion script setup, flyline will try to synthesize one on the fly () using man pages or --help output!
This is similar to https://github.com/microsoft/inshellisense but inshellisense only works for a hardcoded list of completions specifications and runs in a different process as Bash.
Flyline has a bunch of other features, so if you're interested you can check it out here: https://github.com/HalFrgrd/flyline. Thanks!
