Wow, I guess no one is immune from supply chain issues. To Apple's credit, I remember the time (a while back) when people overpaid for the Apple brand while not getting as much performance for their money as they would have with other laptop / smartphone manufacturers. Things have really changed over the recent years. Thanks to all the vertical integration, Apple is about as cost-effective as you can get for top-of-the-line hardware. So the fact that they are raising prices is an alarming sign.

Free games aren't as crazy an idea as one might think, the same way open-source projects like Blender are able to make quite a bit of money. If any of you are fans of space simulator games, I'd check out Kitten Space Agency by RocketWerkz. Their intention is to make this game not only free but DRM-free, so that users can legally put it on a thumb drive and share it with each other. You can also play it entirely offline. Because it's an educational game that's a spiritual successor to a beloved Kerbal Space Program with a significant cult following, they are hoping to continue the project via donations and by partnering with educational institutions. We'll see if this works out for them, seems a little ambitious, but I really hope they set a precedent.

This looks awesome! Will definitely have to try it later. This seems like a pretty epic way to visualize agents that I always wanted :)

Nice! This sounds a lot more cost-effective (and faster) than having the LLMs drive the snakes directly. I like the design too :)

Now the important question is: do you delete the default cube, or must you always keep it? :)

This would be fun to implement in an A2A agent! Very cool.

It sounds great, except I am getting 502 Bad Gateway when following the URL. I think the site went down.

Nice! WebGPU is wild technology - I've seen some mindblowing demos at SIGGRAPH a couple of years back. Still haven't had the chance to play around myself. Nice to know that Opus 4.6 has it covered.

Show HN: Waggle – A search engine for A2A protocol agents

enmerk4r — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:05:12 +0000

Hey HN,

I've been following Google's A2A protocol since it launched and noticed that there is still no good way to find agents out on the public internet. They're scattered across GitHub repos, registries, cloud deployments, random subdomains, and many go offline without anyone noticing.

So I built Waggle, which is a search engine that crawls the web for any domain that exposes a valid agent card, indexes them with semantic embeddings, and tracks their health over time. Waggle's index is exposed in a few different ways. First, there is good old search. There is also a REST API for programmatic access. But the feature I'm most excited about is Waggle's A2A-compliant meta-agent that knows how to delegate tasks to other agents. You ask Waggle "What are the GPS coordinates of the Empire State Building", it queries the database, finds a geocoding agent, and hands off your task, then gets back to you when the other agent is done.

The ecosystem is still very young and a lot of agents my crawlers dredge up are still "hello world" demos that are neither useful nor properly implemented. But I'm happy to report that over the course of one month, I went from 8 indexed agents to over 100, with about half being online at any given time. You can try out the Waggle agent / task delegation by using the chat feature (no registration required).

Some known-good agents you can take for a spin: - Cliff the Surveyor (geocoding, earthquake / flood analysis in the US) - Dispute_Email_Agent (functions as advertised) - OpSpawn AI Agent (Tries to do many things, I only had luck with converting markdown to HTML)

In any case, excited to share! Happy to answer questions.
