Sometimes I will see a domain on YC and immediately know it will be LLM-designed before clicking on the link. This was one of those projects. Wish they were more human and more understated.

> compiles directly to Rust — no runtime, no GC, just (s-expr → .rs → binary).

Can we please write our own READMEs before posting to HN?

I'm a student at Stanford — this is hitting the whole school hard. Unlike a lot of schools on the east coast that are affected (Brown, Harvard, MIT) we are on the quarter system so we're just ending Midterms right now. We're also lucky enough to have our CS department entirely independent from Canvas, but most of my humanities classes are not so lucky. One art history class is having us submit our midterm papers by uploading to a google drive folder—another is pausing weekly quizzes. The main thing this has revealed is just how dependent students and teachers are on Canvas... I hope that this re-prompts discussions about moving off of a platform that was already (from a student perspective) not very good.

Interesting that this doesn't seem to include a computer algebra system like the Nspire CAS. Wonder if it's a testing environment compliance thing?

New comment by eiiot in "Ghostty is leaving GitHub"

eiiot — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 20:48:09 +0000

This seems like a great opportunity for new platforms who are rethinking the OSS space to finally gain the traction they need to be effective. For a collaborative platform, quantity is key, and I am hopeful that someone who is interested in advancing the software space will become the new go-to. This isn't to say that GitHub hasn't been innovating, but at least from my perspective, the way we've used git for the past however-many-years has remained basically constant.

Some projects that seem interesting: - https://tangled.org/ seems to be building out cool and exciting ways to write and interact with code (and they're distributed on the ATProto! But notably that's not their core selling point) - Microservices like https://pico.sh/ and https://sr.ht/ feel like fresh air...

Farming is a funny example to use, given that it's one of the best examples of an industry that's continually revolutionized by evolving technology. Farming today is about owning the best tractor.

New comment by eiiot in "Modern CSS Code Snippets: Stop writing CSS like it's 2015"

eiiot — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 01:28:03 +0000

...and start writing it like you're an LLM!

This looks generally good but sadly also stylistically is similar to the default "modern" output of Claude Code. Just a thought.

Show HN: Crabify, a Spotify TUI

eiiot — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 01:16:14 +0000

Hey HN,

I made a little Spotify TUI today because I was sick of the electron app draining my battery and otherwise slowing down my computer. I am using it right now and figured you all might find it useful.

Spotify doesn't seem to allow devs to create new apps at the moment, but this should work with any existing or unused app id.

Cheers!

Was this post written with AI? The syntax and use of emojis certainly looks like something Claude would generate.

The table also seems like the kind of thing that Gemini seems to generate a lot. "Here's a table that communicates almost no information! One of the rows is constant for each item."

Just ran a script to do this – doesn't seem like there's much going in, other than one test transaction.

It’s such a shame they shut this down. I loved golden gate Claude.

eiiot — Tue, 27 May 2025 15:46:34 +0000

LiveStore is the only sync engine I’ve used for Expo / RN that actually just works out of the box. In a space that is seemingly mature it’s nice to see something polished and I’m excited to see how it develops over the next year!
