Show HN: Safari-CLI – Control Safari without an MCP
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tamasno1/safari-cli
Hello HN!I built this tool to help my agentic software development (vibe coding) workflow.I wanted to debug Safari specific frontend bugs using copilot CLI, however MCP servers are disabled in my organisation. Therefore I built this CLI tool to give the LLM agent control over the browser.Hope you'll find it useful!
Show HN: Accentless – Right-click to add native accents your writing
I built Accentless after not being able to find a simple way to quickly transform my accentless Hungarian text typed on an English keyboard (and found constantly switching keyboard layouts back and forth and holindg down keys annoying). As someone who frequently writes emails/posts in Hungarian (and wants them to not look awful), I was always hoping for a solution I could use and make my life...
Show HN: Certimon – Free Telegram bot to monitor SSL certificate expiry
Hey folks,I'm a developer who got tired of having to rely on SaaS providers for such a simple task as monitoring an SSL certificate expiry. I had to create calendar entries just for the sake of making sure we don't forget it because of course warning emails got lost or the person responsible was on holiday..So instead of "building yet another platform" I decide to take the un-sexy and simple...

Re:My weekend AI project: AI-assisted search of the UK Companies House...
on Monday January 06, 2025 @06:50PM (#42617508)
Just to prove my point on AI assisted product development...
As a little weekend project I created https://companychat.uk/ from scratch in net 2 days. That is from idea to a fully functional MVP (not just a demo proof-of-concept), delivering value to the end user. Feel free to give it a go, you get 5 free tokens to play with!
It's an AI aided advanced search tool for the publicly available Companies House dataset. It can help finding leads for all sorts of campaigns and help research by answering questions and prompts such as "How many companies in Brighton were founded by under 30s last year?" or "Give me a list of companies in Bournemouth that will turn 10 years old next month!".
It's hosted on a tiny EC2 instance (£6 per month), connects to an on-premise database server via Tailscale (PostgreSQL with GIS support, hosting Companies House dataset through an ETL pipeline) and to a local SQLite database for system data.
Application stack is FastAPI with Jinja templates for the backend and HTMX + TailwindCSS for frontend rendering.
AI stack: Cursor + Claude Sonnet 3.5 for development, Langchain and Langgraph with gpt-4o-mini for AI assistance.
End to end implemented by a single engineer using Cursor with Claude Sonnet 3.5.

I think how the situation turned out and how you dealt with it, gave you a much more important life experience! Dealing with BS project blockers by clients/execs and finding a way to turn it into something positive is not something they teach at school, well done team!

One idea I keep thinking about (which I'm sure interferes with some sort of copyright law) is:
1. User buys a physical copy of a movie/music
2. Instead of sending the disc to their house, it's sent to a storage facility
3. In the storage facility a digital backup is made and uploaded to a cloud storage
4. User is given access to the backup which they can watch/listen to
5. User would be the owner of said physical copy and when they sell it, all digital backups would be erased.
What's the legality that stops this from working?
Re:UberEats took unauthorized amount (and not willing to pay it back)
on Saturday December 18, 2021 @06:26PM (#29609741)
Chargeback is exactly what I'm going for, but need to wait until the payment settles (couple of days) and then I can start the dispute process (called my credit card provider right after I realised UberEats is not willing to refund), which with my credit card provider is the following:
- Hold the phone for 40 minutes
- Explain the situation
- Wait for a paper letter on the post that includes an empty printed form with a return envelope
- Fill out the form with the exact information I provided on the phone
- Post the return envelope
- Wait
Fortunately I don't mind playing along and I'm pretty sure having this deliberately crazy process (instead of an online form) is a much bigger pain for my credit card provider (who are hoping for churn and people abandoning the process) than myself. Well, not me. It's not the £4, it's the principal.

Probably no one cares as it's only £4, but posting on HN has a therapeutic effect.
