Great concept, straight to the point which I like.

Really love the clean UI and privacy-first approach of keeping everything client-side, but I'm curious how you plan to handle real-world complexities like variable dilution across funding rounds, post-tax/exercise cost payouts, and fractional share rounding during monthly vesting?

Or any incentives besides having a userbase?

Show HN: Topsoil – a notch dashboard for coding agents, music, and files

https://topsoil-two.vercel.app/

Hey HN, I built an OS notch tool, Topsoiil because I kept alt-tabbing to check on my coding agents, dragging and dropping files/screenshots and listening to music. Topsoil lives in the notch of your MacBook.It's a native SwiftUI app, that turns the botch into a small panel that expands on hover and has: Live terminal panes for Claude Code, codex, and cursor cli, a "Now Playing" section for...

I appreciate the feedback!

That’s a great point, will work on trying to score not just the repo but author use too.

Show HN: GitGauge – A Way to Try Tell If a Repo Is Authentic

https://github.com/Davey2Waveyy/gitgauge

I've been building GitGauge, a way to tell if a Repo is Authentic based on fork ratio, watcher engagement and issue activity.I'd love to hear some feedback!The part I’m least confident about is the heuristic. Right now it uses stars, forks, watchers, and open issues. I’d be really interested in where people think that breaks down, especially for niche repos, old repos, or heavily used...

From what I've seen, you have to answer x amount of questions, based on your original request to avoid ambiguity. Your responses also matter, it's not simply based on 4 questions = being able to "go live", if it still lacks context after the 4th prompt, it will explicitly tell you that it needs a better idea of what's necessary to actually be built.

I do agree though, after 3 generally basic natural language prompts, I wouldn't trust it enough to handle my finances.

That being said, there are also legal implications that I'm sure this project would have to deal with before gaining any type of userbase.

I really enjoy this idea. I haven't taken the time to create an account yet, but was able to play a bit with the concept. What exactly is the selling point? In terms of architecture, is it just a wrap? How does it differ from asking claude, for example, to trigger trading actions, or to build a trading bot?

Otherwise, great concept, I appreciate the fact that you have to answer set amount of questions before anything is actually "built" to avoid a mess.

This was bound to be a thing. Good stuff lol
This is such a fun idea lol. Love the creativity here, way better than nervously scrolling Reddit before a date.
Its looking great.

The audit trail question is interesting and I haven't seen it come up much. When an agent clicks through an ERP or edits a file, you've got logs, but how do you explain the "why" behind each decision to, say, a compliance team?

Curious if that's something you're thinking about or if it's too early.
