Show HN: Protection Against Zero-Day Cyber Attacks
Most security approaches I see in production environments focus on:
Scanning for CVEs Hardening configurations Aggregating logs
All useful — but they don’t actually stop exploitation once it starts.
In reality:
Not every CVE gets patched immediately Legacy systems stick around Zero-days happen
When exploitation succeeds, the real damage usually comes from runtime behavior:
A process spawning a shell Unexpected outbound connections Secret access Container escape attempts
I’ve been experimenting with a lightweight runtime enforcement layer for Linux that focuses purely on detecting and stopping high-risk behavior in real time — regardless of whether the underlying CVE is known or patched.
Would love input from folks running Linux/Kubernetes at scale:
Is runtime prevention something you rely on?
Where do existing tools fall short?
What would make this genuinely useful vs just more noise?

Ask HN: How are you handling EU AI Act compliance as a developer?
The EU AI Act high-risk enforcement deadline is August 2, 2026. If you're deploying AI in the EU — or serving EU customers — you're supposed to classify your systems, implement risk management, document everything, and potentially do conformity assessments. I'm curious how developers are actually approaching this: 1. Are you taking it seriously yet? The prohibited practices are already enforceable (since Feb 2025). High-risk obligations kick in August 2026. Are you actively preparing or waiting to see how enforcement plays out? 2. Is the EU shooting itself in the foot? The AI Act is 144 pages. GDPR already costs European startups disproportionately compared to US competitors. Is this just more red tape that will widen the gap with US tech companies, or is regulatory clarity actually a competitive advantage ("we're EU-compliant" as a selling point)? 3. How do you even operationalize this? 113 articles, 13 annexes, cross-references to GDPR, potentially DORA if you're in fintech. Is anyone actually reading EUR-Lex, or are you outsourcing to lawyers and hoping for the best? 4. Will enforcement actually happen? GDPR took years before meaningful fines started. The AI Office is still setting up. Are EU regulators going to enforce this on day one, or will there be a grace period in practice? I built a compliance API (https://gibs.dev) because I got frustrated trying to navigate this myself, but I'm genuinely uncertain whether the regulation will adapt or whether European AI companies will just build elsewhere. What's your read?

Show HN: AppLaunchFlow: Create App Store screenshots in minutes
AppLaunchFlow uses AI to turn your app screenshots into fully editable App Store creatives.
You upload screenshots → it extracts text, UI structure, and layout → converts everything into modular blocks inside a Figma-style editor.
You can:
- Edit copy across all screenshots instantly - Re-theme layouts in seconds - Regenerate designs with AI - Create promo videos from the same assets - Export ready-to-upload App Store creatives
Built for indie devs and small teams shipping frequent updates.
Since launch (Jan 5): - 700+ users - 60+ paying customers
Looking for honest feedback: - Is AI-based screenshot extraction actually useful? - What would make this 10x better?
Happy to answer any technical questions.

Why does the Hacker News UI never get updated?
I think it's because of the minimalism and the color palette the site uses. There are no images or fancy elements. just functionality that does what it's supposed to do. But I'm curious why others like it and what their opinions are.

Show HN: I built a conditional political donation system (demo)
Over the past few years I’ve been building POWERBACK, a web platform that experiments with applying conditional escrow mechanics to campaign finance.
Instead of donating directly to a campaign, users commit funds under a publicly defined condition. Funds are intended to be collected up front and released only if the condition is met. (If the condition is not met, funds are not refunded and instead support the platform.)
Conditions must be externally verifiable and rule-based.
The current v1 focuses on a single condition: whether H.J.Res.54 (a proposed constitutional amendment from Congresswoman Jayapal to overturn Citizens United) receives a floor vote in the House.
This demo does not collect funds, create accounts, or process payments. It is an interactive walkthrough of the mechanics and UI flow.
The intended full version includes authentication, payment via Stripe, and automated condition resolution.
Technical stack: MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node), VPS deployment with Nginx reverse proxy, JWT auth in the full build, and background watchers for legislative updates.
The hard problems have been structural rather than technical: defining objective conditions, avoiding discretionary fund control, ensuring neutrality, and designing something that does not resemble a quid pro quo.
I’m interested in feedback on the escrow model, incentive alignment, legal edge cases, and whether the mechanism is clear.
Demo: https://demo.powerback.us
Happy to answer questions.
