Do you think whitelabelled dev community platforms still make sense?
I've seen that with every new engagement comes a new whitelabelled platform, begins with probably an event (because whitelabelled dev community platforms are mostly focused on them), then reaches to hackathons, newsletters, blogs, chats, and the list goes on...
While most of the companies are looking at white labelled solutions or an built-in-house tool to manage their communities, I see that it starts with enthusiasm but they usually run out of bandwidth to manage them.
Do you think white labelled platform still makes sense? Or an ecosystem / platform where multiple brands & individuals can host their community ecosystem?

Show HN: I built an AI image generator lets you create styled images in seconds
Hi HN,
I’ve been working on a side project: 4oimage.site — a fast, easy-to-use image generator that focuses on style-driven creation, not prompt engineering.
Why I built this: I love generative AI, but most tools require carefully-crafted prompts or a deep understanding of models to get good results. I wanted to create something where you just pick a style, upload an image or input a concept, and get beautiful results — instantly.
Key features: • Generate images in curated styles (anime, vintage, futuristic, watercolor, etc.) • No prompt tuning or parameter tweaking needed. • Clean UI, runs in browser. • Supports image-to-image and text-to-image workflows. • Fast inference powered by custom pipelines.
Coming soon: • AI-powered video generation (frame-to-frame stylized outputs) • Public community style boards • API access for devs and creators
It’s still early stage, and I’d love to hear what the HN community thinks — both critical feedback and crazy feature ideas. Thanks for checking it out!

Show HN: Rich text editor as a service – my free side project
Hey all
I've used one too many rich text editors in my career to know that they are cumbersome to add and manage.
So I built a tool that I can use for myself and also let others use it.
TextEditors is a tool that lets you easily add a rich text editor to your site. You can configure it by clicking on the toolbar elements you want and we give you instructions on how to add to your site.
Pretty early days, but happy with the progress so far.
Look forward to your feedback.
PS - yes it's free :)

Show HN: 1MB iOS App: Background HTTP/WebDAV Servers, CrossPlatform File Sharing
I wrote a minimal iOS app called PocketServer (~1MB in download size) that creates persistent local HTTP/WebDAV servers which can actually run in the background.
Functionalities:
- Serve a folder via WebDAV — browse/add/delete files from others devices on the same network.
- Host a static website or directory listing, accessible locally.
- Share files cross-platform on the same network, no app needed on the receiving side.

Show HN: A Sidecar-Based Policy Enforcement Engine for AI Agents
I’ve prototyped sidecar-based policy enforcement engine as a proof of concept to help AI agents (like CrewAI or LangGraph) comply with organizational rules. It intercepts requests/responses, applies YAML-defined policies (e.g., disallowed phrases/tools), and can use an LLM for semantic checks. I’m looking for feedback, suggestions, or collaborators—please check it out - explains the core idea in README and let me know what you think!

Ask HN: Luxury legacy car manufacturers seem to still struggle with their apps
The software quality for legacy car manufacturers still seems to be lagging behind what I'd expect from modern and functional design in this day and age.
I have a BMW and both the iDrive 8.5 software and the App seem to be designed by some old school enterprise. The app is slow, the voice recognition is bad, there are all these paid upgrades for traffic data, which is free and more ubiquitous on Apple Maps and Google Maps.
It just seems like these manufacturers can't get the software implementation right. Is it because execs in these companies are actually just detached from the final product?

What's the market for automated content and replies on Twitter?
anyone have experience with this? i know elizaOS is providing a framework for this, but you have no control and have to provide your login info for it to work.
also is anyone actually looking for something like this? something that can turn you into an influencer overnight, post content for you and interact with the users, all while you do something else?
