Project mention: Your Architecture Diagram Is a Screenshot. Your AI Agent Can't Read It. | dev.to | 2026-05-31
The format idea costs you nothing to adopt today: export from excalidraw.com with "Embed scene" on, commit the .excalidraw.png, reference it as a normal image. It renders everywhere and stays editable.

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.
Project mention: Computer Use Is 45x More Expensive Than Structured APIs | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-05I appreciate the suggestion but that's what I've been using! :D
In fact, the only area I've been struggling with are "Concepts" because they have less clear boundaries for the right amount of detail.
Here is what I've been working on: https://github.com/super-productivity/super-productivity/wik...

I worked on getting [Omnivore](https://github.com/omnivore-app/omnivore) from cloud to self hosting.
I never appreciated the value of Self-hosting until then. I was so sick of finding new services to do essentially the same thing. I just wanted some stability.
Now I can continue using the thing I was already using, and have developed my own custom RSS Reader ontop of Omnivore.
I don't need to care about things breaking my flow. I can update the parsing logic if websites break, or I want to bypass some paywalls. It really changed my view on Self-hosting.

Project mention: Show HN: RowboatX – open-source Claude Code for everyday automations | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-18
We’ve included the exact agents used in the demo here for reference: https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat/blob/cli/apps/cli/exa....
We’re adding an easier way to run examples soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to try this one locally: (1) Copy the agent file into ~/.rowboat/agents/ (2) Add the MCP server (and your keys) to ~/.rowboat/config/mcp.json (3) Run: 'rowboatx --agent=tweet-podcast --input=go'

drawnix

Project mention: Drawnix – open-source whiteboard tool for drawing mind map, flowchart, freehand | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-08-23 -
I would really like to see a comparison of all these tools/markup languages:
- MyST
- Pandoc
- Quarkdown
- Quarto
- Typst
Quarto and pandoc both use Pandoc Markdown (and so does https://www.zettlr.com/). But Quarkdown and Typst offer programmable markup languages like LaTeX (or HTML + Javascript). It seems the winner for the title official LaTeX successor is still not decided.

Inbox Zero
The world's best AI personal assistant for email. Open source app to help you reach inbox zero fast.
-
omni-tools
Self-hosted collection of powerful web-based tools for everyday tasks. No ads, no tracking, just fast, accessible utilities right from your browser!
Una bastante completa y variada: Omni Tools
-
massCode
A free, open-source developer workspace. Snippets, notes, HTTP requests, calculations, and dev tools in one local-first app.
I have never heard of a snippet manager until right now. (In good faith:) Where did you hear of them? Should I be following news somewhere else?
I see this one is popular and high on DDG: https://github.com/massCodeIO/massCode
But there's no screenshots or example usages, and it's not obvious to me how it works.
Is it like a local search engine you install? Is it an LSP? An LSP that's lighter than rust-analyzer could be useful for this kind of thing.

Ferdium
Ferdium is a desktop app that helps you organize how you use your favourite apps by combining them into one application.
Glad to see Franz is still doing well.
I've been using the FOSS Ferdium for many years, and generally find it to be a good experience. Anything annoying is surely inherent to electron and the services being connected to.

kubero
A free and self-hosted PaaS alternative to Heroku / Netlify / Coolify / Vercel / Dokku / Portainer running on Kubernetes
Project mention: Lightweight tool for deploying containerised applications across servers | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-03 -

surf
Personal AI Notebooks. Organize files & webpages and generate notes from them. Open source, local & open data, open model choice (incl. local). (by deta)
Project mention: Show HN: Deta Surf – an open source and local-first AI notebook | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-23Kudos on the launch. Love the local-ai approach.
Regarding open models: what is the go-to way for me to make Surf run with qwen3-vl? Ollama?
As far as I understand any endpoint that supports the completions API will work?
https://github.com/deta/surf/blob/main/docs/AI_MODELS.md
If I attach image context will it be provided to qwen3-vl? Or does this only work with the "main" models like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and so on?
