Built an OSS toolkit to normalize mixed-script/mixed-language user text before LLM pipelines. Focus is production use: API mode, Docker deploy path, language-pack interface, and evaluation snapshots. Would appreciate feedback on data strategy, evaluation design, and integration patterns. https://github.com/SudhirGadhvi/open-vernacular-ai-kit

Hey HN, I built a small VS Code extension that gives every workspace a distinct title bar color so you can tell windows apart at a glance.

If you work across multiple projects throughout the day, all your VS Code windows look identical. I kept cmd-tabbing into the wrong one, so I made this.

How it works: - When you open a folder, it deterministically hashes the workspace path into an HSL color, so each project always gets the same color. - Saturation and lightness are tuned per theme (Dark/Light/High Contrast). - Foreground text picks white or black based on WCAG 2.0 contrast ratio. - You can also randomize or pick from 14 hue presets via the command palette. - Only touches the five titleBar.* keys — nothing else is modified. - It's ~300 lines of TypeScript, MIT licensed, no dependencies beyond the VS Code API.

Hey HN, I built this because I wanted to give my team access to Claude and GPT models for internal testing, but the official APIs have no per-key spending controls. You can't cap a key at $5/day or 100 requests/month — it's all or nothing. With non-technical team members in the mix (designers, PMs, QA), one forgotten loop or oversized prompt away from an ugly bill wasn't a risk I wanted to manage manually. Idea was to allow the members to test with these restricted API keys before using official keys.

So I built a bridge: it wraps the Claude Code CLI and Codex CLI behind an Express API, backed by existing Max/Pro subscriptions instead of per-token billing. Each team member gets their own API key with hard limits — requests/day, tokens/month, cost caps. Hit the limit and the key stops working. No surprises. An admin dashboard shows who's using what in real time.

Key features: - Two providers: /generate (Claude) and /generate-codex (Codex) - Per-user API keys with SHA-256 hashing (shown once, never stored raw) - Per-key hard limits with real-time tracking and enforcement - Admin dashboard for key management, usage monitoring, and request logs - Deploy on a $5 VPS behind Cloudflare Tunnel

What it's NOT: A production API replacement. It's for internal tooling and prototyping. CLI invocations add ~3-8s latency vs direct API calls.

Important: Wrapping CLI subscriptions behind a shared API may violate the Terms of Service of the underlying providers. Anthropic's Consumer ToS (updated Feb 2026) prohibits using subscription OAuth tokens in third-party tools, and OpenAI's ToS prohibits account sharing. Review the applicable terms before using this. See the Disclaimer section in the README for details.

Security was a focus: execFile (no shell injection), timing-safe auth, CSP/HSTS, input validation, rate limiting. Details in SECURITY.md.

Stack: Node.js, TypeScript, Express. No database — JSON files on disk.

Would love feedback on the approach and any security concerns I might have missed.

I’ve been struggling with "digital twitchiness"—that reflexive habit of opening a new tab or checking a phone the second a task ends. I realized I had lost the ability to just sit with my thoughts for even 5 minutes.

Most "mindfulness" or "focus" apps felt too heavy. They have streaks, gamification, ads, or complex onboarding. They felt like more "noise" to manage.

So I built TapPause. It’s a 5–30 minute timer designed to be a "circuit breaker."

Key constraints I set for myself:

No Tracking: I don't want to know how many times I paused. No data to optimize.

Zero Friction: No accounts, no "plans," just a tap to start.

Intentionality: It’s not a Pomodoro timer. It’s a tool to help you transition between tasks or just reclaim your headspace.

It’s a small, opinionated tool built for my own needs. I’d love to hear how others here manage their "digital downtime" and if you think we’ve over-engineered the simple act of taking a break.

Hi HN. I had faced an issue where I wanted to know how a place I was travelling to looked like. Like everyone else I looked at google maps and snap chat too. But Google streetview images were usually old and snapchat snaps lacked control. So I built GeoQuests for anyone who wants to know what’s going on on Earth.

You drop a quest at a real location. People see it on the map, go there, and complete it by taking a photo when they’re close enough. The app checks the image's GPS coordinatee, time of the image and if the image fits the request's description. I am using Gemini to verify the image.

Basically you, pin a place -> others discover it on the map -> they go there and complete the quest with a verified photo.

You can browse the map, see public quests and create quests. Wanted some feedback on the project.
