Show HN: Claude Flubber – A 3D avatar that expresses Claude's emotions
I built a desktop companion that gives Claude a face. As you chat in Claude Code, Claude calls an express() MCP tool with 6 emotional parameters (valence, arousal, dominance, genuine, asymmetry, intensity). An MCP server broadcasts them over WebSocket to a 3D Flubber avatar that animates in real-time on your desktop. The avatar is a translucent green goo blob built in Three.js — it stretches when excited, puffs up when angry, droops when sad, and squints when skeptical. Compound emotions emerge naturally from the parameter combinations.

Show HN: Cuto – Turn raw footage into viral shorts in 30s with an AI prompt
I built Cuto because I was tired of spending hours on the repetitive parts of video editing: splitting long footage, syncing audio and captions, filtering out bad takes, and adjusting the pacing. I just wanted to focus on the storytelling.
Cuto is an AI video editing workspace that automates the grunt work. You drag and drop up to 12 video clips, write a quick prompt detailing what you want (e.g., "Find the best 30s product highlight and add a strong CTA"), and the engine does the rest.
Within 30 seconds, it hands back an editable visual timeline with: - Auto-split shots and filtered out silences/bad takes - Synchronized captions with rhythm alignment - Selected highlight effects and custom watermark branding - Auto-generated social-ready copy for TikTok, Shorts, and Reels
Unlike traditional NLEs (Non-Linear Editors), we wanted an interface where the visual parameters are controlled intuitively by natural language first, giving you a solid 80% draft instantly. From there, you can still tweak the timeline if needed.
It's currently geared towards talking heads, unboxing videos, reviews, and live stream clips.
I'd love for you to try it out. We still have a lot of edge cases to cover regarding complex scene transitions, but I'd really appreciate any feedback on the UX, the rendering speed, or the AI's editing choices.

Show HN: C++26 Reflection for Python Algo Trading
There’s a constant tension in quant dev between speed-to-market (Python) and speed-to-book (C++). We've had bridges like PyBind11 [1] for years, but the manual boilerplate is usually too high a tax to use them for daily work.
With the C++26 Reflection (P2996) [2], that bridge can now be made invisible. That's the new syntax: ^^T and [: x :] .
I built this repo to show how you can use the Bloomberg/Clang P2996 fork [3] to automatically reflect a C++ quant engine into a Python execution loop. I used Merton Jump Diffusion [4] as the shell - it’s a standard model (with no special alpha) - to show the tech in a real-world context. I initially found out this was working from Callum Piper's ACCU talk [5].
I've included a justfile and Docker Clang build so people can experiment with the new reflection syntax without having to battle through the build tedium.
