Re:Show HN: I built an agent framework where the agent is just one file
on Monday July 13, 2026 @06:14AM (#48890396)
We had this idea to create our own framework for building and deploying single purpose AI agents really quickly and easily and would love to get some feedback on it.
It's called the Looped Agent Framework and it is built with 3 core ideas in mind:
- An agent should be a single config file (agent.yaml)
- It should be secure by default so that it doesn't ask for permissions at runtime i.e. all permissions are defined in the configuration. We build with deno to achieve this.
- It is docker native which means you can stand your agent up anywhere that docker runs.
Similar to openclaw/hermes - we also are trying to make it super simple to connect your agent to various messaging platforms or triggers.
I would love to get some feedback from people building agents to understand if this is something this community finds useful - it certainly has been extremely useful for me personally.
The framework itself is open source (Apache 2.0)

I just had a look at some of your youtube videos. It looks awesome, I will definitely take a look at using it. I've been thinking about how I can support other local models in the future - I think this would make a lot of sense for the ASR in my app. Do you have any realtime ASR examples of speech-swift that I could look at?
Show HN: Looped Whisper (FOSS) – Voice transcription menubar app for macOS
https://github.com/loopedautomation/whisper
I built a free, open-source (MIT) macOS menu-bar app that runs Whisper models locally to assist with dictation. There is also the option to use an LLM (BYOK).You hold a global hotkey, speak, and the text gets pasted at your cursor similar to other similar/popular apps.Some details: - Transcription runs locally via WhisperKit (CoreML), so it works offline once the model is downloaded.

Re:Invoicelink.io – A simple tool to help freelancers get paid

Hi HN!
I'm a freelancer from Cape Town, South Africa, and I built InvoiceLink.io to solve a personal pain point: getting paid by international clients.
InvoiceLink.io lets you create professional invoices and attach your own payment gateway (like stripe or payfast) to generate a simple payment link for your clients. It’s designed to streamline the invoicing process and help freelancers and small businesses get paid faster, without the usual headaches.
I built this out of necessity, and I’m sharing it with the community in the hopes that it can help others too.
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any suggestions for improvement!
