You can see the live replay on hiver.sh. It allows you inspect and trace agent runs: the network panel, file operations, browser navigations, tools, subagents, etc

Show HN: Hiver – Chrome DevTools for Agents

Hey everyone,I’m Emmanuel and I built Hiver to help ship reliable AI agents.I’ve been building agents for a while now. I found that the hardest part isn’t deploying the first version, but iterating on the harness end-to-end (models, skills, memory, system prompts, subagents, tools, environment) to ensure tasks complete successfully and use the least tokens.To understand why an agent succeeded...

When I said, I didn't know how I was referring to the fact that I never expected that.

I started turn.js as a weekend hack with html5. Then, I showed it on HN and asked for a Job. Later, I went to some tech company, I didn't get forward for whatever reasons. Turn.js was initially MIT licensed, and I had literally no money. However, some people were making 30k or more selling my javascript on some marketplaces, so I decided to stop and get back my credits. I created a commercial license, and everything started to change. I never enjoyed my money, I came to the U.S. because I needed a degree...

33K while I was in Venezuela. I had an old U.S. account, so I wanted to change it to Venezuela. My PayPal U.S. account had crazy address like: Avenida GRGRGR, Estado GRGR, United States. They said to me, you can't change the country, so you should create a new account. I did that, but once I noticed less features in PayPal Venezuela, I decided to keep the same code in my website and move the money from the U.S. account to the Venezuela account. I have 1% or less of chargebacks. My customers are happy.

I started my commercial project in Venezuela, but using a U.S. account.

Actually, I got a very good feedback. Google saw the new turn.js and wanted to promote the next release by the way.

No, I had an old U.S. account and I wasn't able to change the country. I created a venezuelan account later on, but I saw that the U.S. account provided some features, so I stupidly thought that was ok to then transfer the money to the Venezuelan account. I started to sell licenses while I was outside the U.S.

from the self-post dept.

I'm the creator of turn.js (www.turnjs.com), a javascript library for books and magazines. I released a commercial version in July 2012 and six month later I made $200K. I don’t know how, but I made it.PayPal has closed my account because I don’t have a social security number. It seems like I don’t qualify for one because I’m just “an international student” from Venezuela.I have been working...
