Show HN: Caveat, a self-hosted publishing and newsletter tool

jonas_kgomo — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 02:28:23 +0000

I’ve been working on Caveat, a self-hosted publishing tool for people who want control over their newsletter’s design, subscriber data, and infrastructure.

It includes a rich-text editor, autosave, reusable content blocks, publication designs, typography and colour controls, subscriber management, exports, and Resend email delivery. It includes both the editor and public website.

Repo: https://github.com/CaveatJS/site Examples/docs: https://caveat-home.vercel.app/

I built the first version over a few hours across three sessions with GPT-6 Astra. I chose the features, tested the workflows, and refined the design and implementation.

The sessions processed roughly 43.6M tokens, about 97% cached input.

Caveat is still early: paid subscriptions, scheduling, and multi-author workflows are not implemented yet.

If you publish a newsletter, what part of your workflow would prevent you from using it today?

Some work is unpaid, just like open-source work is unpaid but gets you experience. Some work is paid. In a perfect world you dont need experience to get a job, we arent in a perfect world

Can we build a different app experience on this open-source tool? Does the license permit

I watched a movie a few days ago and they basically said there are more states in the game of chess than atoms in the universe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfMQ7hzyFW4

I actually found it quite robinhood for openai to acqhire, bascially this startup was my favourite thing for the past few months, but they were experiencing server overload and other issues on reliability, i think openai taking them under their wing is a good/neutral storyline. I think its net good for science given the opai toolchain

Show HN: Exploratory Policy – a policy simulation playground for complex systems

jonas_kgomo — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 14:43:54 +0000

Hey HN. We’re the team behind Exploratory Policy—a causal-AI sandbox where policymakers, researchers, and curious citizens can test ideas before they ever hit the statute books.

What’s the problem? Traditional policy making is reactive. By the time lawmakers regulate a new tech wave, second- and third-order effects have already locked in. We end up with brittle rules that chase yesterday’s risks.

Live demos

- Causal Graph Analysis – tweak an edge weight and see the entire system re-equilibrate.

- Chain Reaction Simulator

- AI Policy Assistant – natural-language back-and-forth with citations to the underlying model

Looking for feedback:

- Which policy domains should we add next? (We’re eyeing housing, economic impact preparedness, and open-source AI).

- Any go-to datasets we should onboard quickly?

- How can we make the uncertainty bands more intuitive for non-quants?

I tried watching this over a couple of months and still remain lost every 5min. There seems to be a certain jargon they use that transcends normal speech, and they are operating in the same linguistic sphere. Does anyone understand any randomly selected 5-20 min of this discussion

New comment by jonas_kgomo in "Ask HN: Where Can I Find Dense Discussions [video]"

jonas_kgomo — Tue, 20 May 2025 07:54:45 +0000

This is the most difficult conversation i ever listened to, because each sentence had so much layers that I could not possibly understand every 5 min of the discussion. My questions is, how does one get to understand these kind of conversations, and secondly, where can I find more of them? NB: I guess the word here for high-density should probably be entropy or information content as opposed to density.
