Show HN: Slop Meter for GitHub

Hacker News - Mon, 03/02/2026 - 3:03pm

About 6 years ago I wrote a blog post [0] with some ideas on how to help popular open source maintainers deal with all the noise on Github. Patted myself in the back and never did anything about it :)

There's recently been a lot more discussion around this due to AI, so I've built a simple tool called "Slop Meter" [1]. It gives maintainers a quick snapshot of the user's history in open source:

1) Do they just open issues and expect you to do everything, or will they put in the work to fix the problems and open a PR? What's the issues : PR ratio? 2) If they do contribute, what percentage of their PRs actually gets merged?

I feel like these are the two most important signals when triaging what to pay attention to in open source.

You can install this on any Github repo and it will automatically post a comment with the stats. We do not run this on maintainers or existing contributors.

You can also go on the web and look up a Github profile; it will take a minute or so to import depending on how much public data they have (maybe longer if this makes the front page...).

Example profile: https://slopmeter.kernellabs.ai/u/mitchellh

If you are an OSS maintainer, I'd love to hear any feedback.

Show HN: Git-stint – Built for AI coding agents to multitask without collisions

Hacker News - Mon, 03/02/2026 - 2:10pm

I've been running multiple AI coding agents in parallel on the same repo. The agents code fine. The problem is managing multiple parallel sessions with git. Multiple agents, one branch, one overwrites the other.

Git worktrees give isolation but the per-session setup/teardown doesn't scale. GitButler looked promising but testing each agent's changes in isolation was tedious. Neither was built for this workflow.

git-stint automates the full lifecycle. Each agent session gets its own branch and worktree automatically. WIP auto-commits on exit or crash. Full diff, squash, and PR workflow for review. Conflicts caught before merge. Main stays clean.

Zero runtime deps. npm install -g git-stint. Built for Claude Code's hook system but works with any AI tool that writes to a git repo.

Been using it daily across my own projects. Would love feedback on the approach.

Show HN: I spent a billion tokens bridging Elixir and WebAssembly

Hacker News - Mon, 03/02/2026 - 2:07pm

If you'd like to learn about how I corralled the agents to do this, check out this blog post https://vers.sh/blog/elixir-webassembly-billion-tokens

And, of course, here's the GitHub https://github.com/hdresearch/firebird

I also posted a thread to Twitter where I ship nifty stuff if fun uses of technology is interesting to you https://x.com/itisyev/status/2028543436388016510

Show HN: FakeScan – AI-powered fake review detector for Amazon

Hacker News - Mon, 03/02/2026 - 2:03pm

After Fakespot shut down in July 2025, I built FakeScan as a free alternative. It uses AI (Llama 3.3 70B) to analyze Amazon product reviews and detect fake/manipulated ones.

How it works: paste any Amazon product URL, and it analyzes review patterns, sentiment distribution, reviewer behavior, and linguistic markers to give you a trust score and detailed breakdown.

No signup required - just paste a URL and get results. Built with Next.js, running on Groq for fast inference.

Would love feedback from the HN community on the analysis methodology and UX.
