I couldn’t believe how much better GPT-5.6 was when I switched over yesterday!

I switched to GPT 5.6 Sol yesterday and it has been a joy going through and fixing up the Claude cruft. And being able to read everything the model says. A breath of fresh air for sure!

Ask HN: GitHub project that showed all edits (somewhat proving human authorship)

4d66ba06 — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 11:49:46 +0000

I am trying to find a GitHub project from a technical person who wrote about getting married/engaged and knowing someone for 10 years and how he knew things like his significant other’s favorite ice cream order etc. I can’t remember if I had found this article on Reddit or HN.

The article had this cool feature where you could replay the full drafting of the article and see every revision and I believe it was an open source project in GitHub.

Ring any bells for anyone? My Google Fu and searching of HN using Angola has failed me.

4d66ba06 — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 23:43:18 +0000

That would mean they would be acquiring Venmo as well?

I feel like PayPal is slowly degrading, I hope Stripe would find a way to modernize it.

Just finished migrating to it to replace pdf2docx in a new project I’ve been working on and it is so much better. Thanks for open sourcing OpenDataLoader-PDF!

Consider taking a look at Zed, it can use Gemini with an API key and has an agentic “write” mode if you don’t want to copy and paste.

New comment by 4d66ba06 in "Tell HN: YNAB will partly remove direct bank imports"

4d66ba06 — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 12:46:43 +0000

Not really a direct alternative as it requires you to use their bank but I've used Qube money for years and love never having to import transactions.

Qube Money is a fintech startup where your debit card is controlled by an envelope based budgeting app. It's still early days so no check deposit but they have thriving Facebook group of users and it helps me be much more intentional about spending.

They even have some neat features similar to privacy.com where you can spin up virtual ACH/debit card numbers via "Bill Qubes". Not to hide your identity but make sure free trials stay that way.

Give Directly has an interesting approach, direct cash transfers. Seem to have studies that show it helps.

It was expensive but I have used Delete Me by Abine in the past.

I've been enjoying https://squabbles.io/ as a great reddit alternative

I had to reset my password once for it to work. I wonder if my initial password was too long.

A reminder for everyone that Authy allows multi device and backups in case you lose your phone. From my understanding Google Authenticator doesn't offer either of these.

I use Qube Money (app-controlled debit card with virtual budget envelopes).

They are really pretty and it is quite strange to see them all over (I live in the woods) when they used to not be around at all.

4d66ba06 — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 03:55:49 +0000

Qube Money. After about 9 years of using systems that required us to import transactions, the tap to spend from virtual debit card method of Qube Money is a huge time saver!

Not state in blog post, one of comments mentions a $4 flat fee to use this feature: "On a $35 purchase, that's 11% of the purchase cost spread over one month. Annualized, that's an astounding 250% APY." https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/introducing-...

This looks very interesting! Not needing to save a bunch of screenshots and CSS to a ticket seems extremely convenient!
