I'd say Claude/Codex plus whatever CAD modeling tool you want to use. But if you want to find some existing AI-assisted CAD design platforms, take a look at https://thecadhub.com/category/ai-assisted-design/

Interesting approach to solve the cold outreach problem.

It seems this version is also adding hx-live. Anyone used it before? How does it compare against Alpine.js?

Respect.

How long have you been building this?

If Solidworks and Onshape were born after the birth of LLMs, they'd probably be glitchy as hell.

Seems it's only supporting Chrome at the moment.

This. The browser as a universal platform.

Can you claim your product here? https://thecadhub.com/details/adam-cad/
This is really useful. Thanks for sharing.
Re:Ask HN: What are you building that's not AI related? on Friday April 10, 2026 @03:37PM (#47722676)
I built the exact same thing 2 years ago, and then figured out that Inoreader actually already had it in their product. They are disabled by default, probably because this feature is not popular at all.
I built Video Off to reduce autoplay/video distractions.

Background: in Firefox, I can edit user.js and disable specific media codecs, which makes blocking video much easier. Chrome doesn’t provide an equivalent user.js/codec-disable path, so this extension uses MV3 static declarativeNetRequest rules to block common video delivery requests.

No analytics/telemetry. No remote code. It blocks many common video requests, but it doesn’t claim perfect coverage on every site/player. I’d love feedback on false positives/negatives and breakage cases.

Do you mind sharing your master ruleset about Svelte?
Thanks. How are you dealing with worktrees right now?
But how did you use your main worktree's .env before? Symlink it?
This is how I currently use Git worktrees. Curious about how you are using it.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026) on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @01:46AM (#46956166)
I've been working on django-rclone, which bridges Django and rclone.

https://github.com/kjnez/django-rclone

Author here. django-rclone is a Django backup package that delegates everything non-Django to rclone.

The existing solution (django-dbbackup) reimplements a lot: Django Storages for upload, GPG in Python for encryption, gzip for compression, regex for backup listing. django-rclone replaces all of that with rclone subprocesses — rclone rcat for uploads, rclone cat for downloads, rclone sync for media, rclone lsjson for listing. Encryption and compression are handled by configuring rclone crypt and compress remotes.

Database dumps stream directly into rclone via Unix pipes — no temp files written to disk. DB passwords are passed via environment variables instead of CLI arguments (which are visible in ps).

The result is significantly less code. Django-rclone only owns what Django must own: database connectors, management commands, and signals. Everything else — storage abstraction, encryption, compression, incremental sync — is rclone's problem. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, MongoDB, and 70+ storage backends via rclone.

Show HN: Django-rclone: Database and media backups for Django, powered by rclone

https://github.com/kjnez/django-rclone

django-rclone bridges Django's database layer with rclone's file transfer layer. You get native database dumps piped directly to any of rclone's 70+ supported cloud storage backends -- no temp files, no intermediate archives, no Python reimplementations of what rclone already does.
