Re:Agent-Manager: A Tmux TUI for Running Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode on Thursday July 30, 2026 @10:25PM (#49118331)
This looks good, but I prefer a desktop application like Codex (wish I could run Claude Code in Codex lol)

Same here.

I asked Fable to dig into the logs and do a deep research for relevant evidence:

Related reports counted hundreds of Gatekeeper denials for Codex’s own main executable, eventually exhausting syspolicyd file descriptors and causing unrelated notarized apps to be reported as “damaged”:

https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/25882 https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28071

Quitting Codex and restarting syspolicyd is only a temporary recovery. The useful upstream action is to identify the launch/update/watchdog caller, add exponential backoff plus a hard retry cap, and publish the first known-fixed desktop build.

Re:Show HN: Cetus – A macOS App for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and ... on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @10:27AM (#49084436)
Hi HN - I built Cetus after using different agent runtimes together in my terminal (which was totally a chaos!).

I use Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode together, but I wanted a desktop workflow that wasn’t tied to one of them. I kept coming back to my terminal and keep forgetting which agent had finished what. Especially, I want to manage different cron jobs together (Claude Code is better at frontend so I want it to write SEO pages, while Codex is better at logic so I want it to review PRs).

So I built Cetus, with support for different runtimes, and many other stuff(quick launcher allowing you to use it using a global shortcut, cron jobs for different runtime, and kanban view). Under the hood it's a Tauri app with a Rust host.

I’d especially like to know: Do you also switch between multiple agent runtimes, or have you mostly settled on one? Does Cetus make sense to you?

Hi HN,I've been experimenting a lot with Nano Banana AI recently, and noticed many users (myself included) often get stuck figuring out how to write effective prompts or discovering new ways to use the model.To help with this, I built a new site: https://nanobananaprompt.io, which organizes a collection of prompt templates specifically for Nano Banana AI.The site features categorized templates...

Posted by williamjinq on Monday August 04, 2025 @11:17AM
from the show-hn dept.

Hi HN,I wanted to share something I’ve been working on: Mailpod (https://mailpod.io/), an app that automatically summarizes your daily emails and turns them into a podcast you can listen to.The idea is simple: instead of spending an hour sifting through your inbox at your desk, Mailpod lets you “hear” your emails while commuting, working out, or just on the go. It’s designed for anyone who...

Growing pet is a serious thing, so I'd like to keep the data on the cloud. That being said, if requested many times, then a version without registration is definitely fair.

Sorry, the issue should be fixed!

Hi HN,I find myself have nothing to do but scroll on social media endlessly when waiting for AI thinking, especially when "Agentic" AI becomes today's trend and thinking time is getting longer and longer.So I made this, part of it is inspired by the Thronglets in Black Mirror. The art asset is credited to my wife. Hope you guys enjoy it :)

Hi HN,I’ve developed a web app that lets you turn static Ghibli-style images into animated videos. It uses AI to create smooth, dynamic animations from your uploads. I will also add Ghibli-style images generation abilities in the app soon. I’d love to hear your feedback and see what you create with it :)Check it out at https://image2video.app/.

Re:Ask HN: How do you decide whether to stick with a project or move on? on Sunday January 26, 2025 @09:41PM (#42836838)
My competitors include other social media post schedulers (e.g. Typefully) and I believe the market size is huge, since there're at least 20 schedulers on the market (didn't do the math, but enough for an indie hacker project IMO).

I want to focus solely on Bluesky, which is the competitive advantage since most of the schedulers do cross-platform posting, and cannot focus too much on a single platform.

from the ask-hn dept.

I’d love to hear the HN community’s thoughts on this.Two months ago, I joined Bluesky and built an app called Skyblaze.app. It’s a tool designed to help users write better content, schedule posts, and engage more effectively with the community. I created it because I personally wanted something like this, and I’ve enjoyed using it myself.After launching the app across various platforms and...

Re:Thank HN: My bootstrapped startup got acquired today on Friday January 24, 2025 @02:15AM (#42811172)
Congrats! I’m also bootstrapping my SaaS business and hope to reach your level one day!

Curious about your next steps—are you taking a break, or planning to build another startup?

Re:TabBoo – add random jumpscares to websites you're trying to avoid on Thursday January 23, 2025 @02:37AM (#42801639)
I remember when I was 5, and I got a jumpscare when playing a flash game...

I was so scared that I cannot move but trembling on my chair. Luckily my mom was near and she heard my scream and turned off the computer.

Re:Is social media more like cigarettes or junk food? on Thursday January 23, 2025 @02:34AM (#42801621)
I think most of the people overemphasize the harmness of social media.

I actually find connecting with my real-life friends a meaningful and satisfying experience.

But things are getting worse once I started to follow influencers and those I don't know in my real life.

Re:How to improve your WFH lighting to reduce eye strain on Thursday January 23, 2025 @02:29AM (#42801600)
I use screenbars (BenQ, Mi, etc.) and found them extremely helpful, in terms of reducing eye strain and leaving spaces for other desktop setups (I currently have no lamp on my desk).

A well-designed directory site! Saw my Bluesky scheduler (https://skyblaze.app/) on it :) Thanks!
