Show HN: Aeon.WorX – A generic object lifecycle management system (like PLM/PDM)
After having spent ~10Y working on SmarTeam, ENOVIA and 3DExperience Platform. And recently using Azure Devops and Salesforce. Seeing all the complexity, engineering that went into it, I was itching to create something similar of my own. Now that we have LLM assisted coding, big projects should be doable by a single person, right? This is my attempt (v0) doing the same.
1.9B Tokens and 28 Dollares Later, We have a working demo.
Since this was a big endeavour, I wanted to have structured knowledge base. Discussion with various LLMs suggested (OpenSpec)[https://openspec.dev/] is a good way to store this info and make changes to it. LLMs also suggested that I track workitems using (beads)[https://github.com/gastownhall/beads]
I initially modeled the RFLP (Requirements, Functional, Logical, Physical) framework from my early days of working on 3Dx. But I didn't have much sample data to seed. 3 days ago I had an Idea, what if I modeled the beads, openspec and git commits into it? it worked. I have seeded the demo with its own development history.
I used VSCode, Deepseek via Copilot harness in VSCode, .NETCore + Sqlite Stack. ASPNET Razorpages + HTMX and Tabler UI
Looking to hear your thoughts and questions. Cheers!!

Show HN: MTTCleaner – Same as CCleaner but free, no ads
I'm an IT consultant. CCleaner was a good choice to speed up clients' web browsing experience. Unless you paid, it keeps vomiting ads for the product. Which made it a bad choice.
mTTCleaner does most of the same thing to clean most browsers by cleaning caches, compacting databases, and removing unnecessary metrics files.
It can create it's own cron job/scheduled task to run itself every month, if you choose.
It covers 28 browsers on 3 platforms, assuming you have PowerShell 7+.
Please file any bugs if you find them.
This isn't really going anywhere except to help internet users and my clients.
Hope it's helpful
PS - All of it generated with VS Code, Augmentcode AI (https://www.augmentcode.com/), OpenSpec (https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec), and beads (https://github.com/gastownhall/beads).

Building Post-Compaction Recovery for AI Agent Workflows with Beads
I implemented a post-compaction recovery system using beads - a task tracking system that persists state in git. The key insight: if it's in git, it survives compaction.

Remote Slop with Claude Code
This is where the workflow from my previous post paid off. If you haven't read it: I use a pipeline where work gets decomposed into beads — small, focused tasks based on Steve Yegge's beads concept. Each bead is scoped tightly enough that a sub-agent can pick it up and run with it without needing the full conversation history.
