Show HN: Claude Flubber – A 3D avatar that expresses Claude's emotions

https://github.com/binora/claude-flubber

I built a desktop companion that gives Claude a face. As you chat in Claude Code, Claude calls an express() MCP tool with 6 emotional parameters (valence, arousal, dominance, genuine, asymmetry, intensity). An MCP server broadcasts them over WebSocket to a 3D Flubber avatar that animates in real-time on your desktop. The avatar is a translucent green goo blob built in Three.js — it stretches...

Show HN: Vibes – Twitter for Claude Code (and Other AI Agents)

https://binora.github.io/vibes/

Hi HN! sometimes I have intense code sessions with claude. so we end up asking each other about the vibe so far. And sometimes I wonder who else is vibing with claude right now. So we built this thin social presence layer: Vibes - a claude plugin with a tiny mcp server (~81 tokens) that enables you to drop a "vibe" while inside claude (or any other coding agent for that...

Just trying to make gemini-cli work with my enterprise copilot subscription.

Re:Ask HN: What (side-)project are you working on? on Wednesday March 17, 2021 @04:46AM (#26488100)
I've been trying to think through something called Story-So-Far which is supposed to be an IDE plugin which logs user keystrokes with timestamps and saves it to a local file .ssf . This file should be replay-able in the IDE which essentially means other developers can literally see how the software was made by the original author. This aims to replace tutorials and also increase open source contributions once you see for yourself how the software was written. I know there are security risks involved. But one problem at a time. Haven't started on the actual implementation yet.

Ask HN: Is this a good idea to onboard new employees?

We have this idea to maintain a log of 'events' or decisions we take in our team. So whenever a new employee joins our team, she/he is able to gain context in a short amount of time by just going through the log.For starters, we can just maintain a repo and commit these decisions/events to it.I guess, then, the question is:1. Is this really needed ? 2. If go ahead with this approach, what are...

Re:Remote Only on Wednesday June 06, 2018 @09:53PM (#17252632)
what do you look for in a candidate when hiring for a remote position ? I am 3 years experienced dev and cant even get my resume filtered for first round. I do have 3 months of remote Gsoc experience if that counts. But i am curious, is there some particular factor that gives an edge over other candidates ?

Re:Show HN: Coinhive – Embeddable JavaScript Crypto Miner on Thursday September 14, 2017 @06:43AM (#15246613)
i guess because the consumers might not always be tech savvy. they just want those items/coins/rewards in whatever game/app they are playing/using. a minor pop-up about the mining stuff wouldnt bother them (although app perf might be affected). that's how i see it.

Re:The Re-Frame Guide: Front-End Architecture in Clojure on Saturday July 08, 2017 @03:43PM (#14726884)
Been using re-frame in production since 2 months. Lost some hair in the first 3 days ( had to make some db structure decisions based on requirements) but after that it's been amazing and adding new features has become really trivial.
Re:Show HN: Nice-looking Python bindings to V8 on Tuesday June 20, 2017 @09:17AM (#14594351)
Silly question. Can I use this to interact with a machine learning model written in python from javascript on react native ? It'd be great if someone could point out the feasibility/limitations
