Hey everyone!! As you all know, Jev has been there for a few days and I thought I’d create an e2e testing agent that’s both agentic and fast with a low cost.

So how it works, describe what should happen in plain language. Convoy extracts the screen, normalizes it to a platform-agnostic element table, asks Jev which control matches the intent, and taps it.

Btw iOS is tested, Android and Web is in test mode. Till then pls try using it and so share your feedbacks

Thank you!!!

Yes, speed and structural fidelity, with dedicated table and spa buckets; tables/code are the metrics we treat as high-signal.
The biggest difference is parakeet is trained only for English transcription and Crisper uses Whisper model which supports 90+ languages. This is the first version of Crisper where we have used existing OSS models, but we are in process to fine-tune certain models as per our need.

https://www.speakcrisper.com/

Hey HN,I built Crisper because every dictation tool I tried either sent audio to the cloud or gave me raw, messy transcripts I still had to fix.Crisper runs entirely on-device — no network calls, no account, no subscription. It does two things in sequence: transcribes using a speech model, then runs a local LM pass to strip filler words, fix grammar, and make the output sound intentional. The...

Ask HN: Why developers are not bothered about feature adoption?

Hi everyone, In today's age, creating application has been the easiest work to do, but when it comes to usage or adoption on a product people seem to be least interested. Isn't user adoption a vital thing? Why developers and companies are only interested in creating new features but not analysing the feedbacks or user traction?This purely comes from a genuine problem which I faced, and for...

Ask HN: How do you know if a tool is solving a real problem?

Hi HN,I’m building a system that sits between application events and downstream consumers (analytics, decision systems, AI, etc.).The goal is to make raw product events more structured and canonical, so deriving patterns, insights, and higher level signals becomes easier.Before going deeper, I’m trying to sanity check the problem itself:* How do you validate whether a tool like this is actually...

Show HN: SwiftMock – automatic mock generation for Swift

https://www.swiftmock.com

Hi HN SwiftMock is a lightweight CLI tool that generates mock implementations for Swift protocols.The idea is to remove the repetitive boilerplate involved in writing mocks by hand, especially as protocols grow larger and start using async/await, throwing functions, and complex method signatures.The tool scans the codebase, identifies mockable protocols, and produces deterministic mock...

With first glance what Tirreno does is providing a platform which logs events and detects pre addeded patterns from users. But what we are doing is something on top of this, along with these pattern based detection it proactively helps orgs to stop users from getting into the funnel such that orgs dont get affected by the doings of such fraud actions.

Ask HN: How do you build a "trust layer" for your platform?

I'm trying to understand how different teams handle platform integrity and user trust as they scale.For those running consumer apps, marketplaces, fintech products, or any platform with significant user activity: How do you currently build your “trust layer”?Specifically: -> How do you detect fake users, bots, device farms, or automated signups? -> What early signals do you rely on to...

We are building intelligent trust systems that see beyond data which helps companies stop fraud before it impacts growth or users.

The agenda is to, create a safer internet for every platform.

Your throughs?

I am using Webkit.

Ask HN: Zer0 Browser – A Fast, Private Browser with Zero Bloat?

Hi HN,I’m building something I’ve always wanted but could never quite find—a browser that just gets out of your way. It’s called Zer0 Browser.The idea is simple: - No bloat - No tracking - Just the web, fast and cleanMost browsers today feel more like operating systems. They come bundled with shopping deals, crypto wallets, aggressive search suggestions, and background data collection. Zer0...

I am building it using webkit and also planning to make it OSS. If so would you love to use something, Also what else would you like to see in it!
Hi HN,

I’m building a new browser called Zer0 Browser, focused on being fast, minimal, and privacy first with absolutely zero bloat.

Most browsers today are packed with features users never asked for: ads, tracking, shopping suggestions, crypto plugins, and so on. Zer0 is the opposite—just a clean, focused experience for browsing the web.

Core Principles: Speed – Instant launch, lightweight UI, minimal memory usage

Simplicity – No tabs by default (like iA Writer for the web), clean reading mode, minimal UI

Privacy – No telemetry, no trackers, no background “smart” services

Exploring: Local LLM Integration – We're experimenting with optional on-device LLM support for things like page summarization, note-taking, and command-based browsing—all without sending your data to the cloud.

If this sounds interesting, I'm inviting early users to try the alpha version: https://www.zerobrowser.co/

Would love your feedback:

Would you use a browser like this?

What must-haves or deal-breakers come to mind?

What annoys you most about current browsers?

Thanks in advance!

Pledge primarily targets UIKit, where reactive state management isn't built-in and things are messy with the current approaches.
