Show HN: Distr 2.0 – A year of learning how to ship to customer environments

A year ago, we launched Distr here to help software vendors manage customer deployments remotely. We had agents that pulled updates, a hub with a GUI, and a lot of assumptions about what on-prem deployment needed.It turned out things get messy when your software is running in places you can't simply SSH into.Over the last year, we’ve also helped modernize a lot of home-baked solutions: bash scripts that email when updates fail, Excel sheets nobody trusts to track customer versions, engineer

Show HN: Multi-attribute decision frameworks for tech purchases

What this is:Copy-paste LLM prompts that turn ChatGPT or Claude into a structured decision analyst for laptops, monitors, tablets, phones, and SaaS subscriptions. You define constraints, weight what matters to your workflow, and get scored recommendations with sensitivity analysis. Why I built this:With the rise of LLMs (AI), I wanted to find a way to harness the computing power and ease of use the chat interface provides. The major problem: LLMs don’t always provide repeatable, traceable resul

Show HN: VidStudio – Video processing that runs in the browser

I wanted to ship a clean, polished video processing tool that runs entirely in the browser.My goal was to give users something low friction: no accounts, no software to install, no uploading files to servers, and no ads or annoying popups.It runs on the multithreaded FFmpeg WASM build. While impressive, there are limitations with file sizes. The real pain was getting FFmpeg commands to terminate properly.For anyone working on something similar who keeps running into commands that hang endlessly

Show HN: Valk – new programming language with a stateful GC

Greetings HN,I have been working on a new programming language for the last 3 years and thought it was time to share it with some people. The core of the language is done and i have been using it to create all software related to the language: the compiler itself, the website and vman (valk manager, like npm). There's still alot of work todo but was hoping for some feedback. Maybe an interesting feature of the language is (so i think) that it's the first language with a stateful garbag

Ask HN: Am I holding it wrong?

I've been steadfastly trying my best to incorporate the latest-and-greatest models into my workflow. I've been primarily using Codex recently. But I'm still having difficulties.For example: no matter what I do, I can't prevent Codex from introducing linter errors.I use tabs instead of spaces for indentation. It seems like the model is massively weighted on code written using spaces (duh). Despite having a very well articulated styleguide (that Codex helped me write after exam
