Show HN: TWFF – A container format for declaring AI use in writing
TWFF (Tracked Writing File Format) is my proposal for moving away from so called AI detection to verifiable declaration.
Instead of an external model guessing if a text is AI-generated, TWFF is a ZIP-based container (similar to an EPUB) that stores the document alongside a Process Transcript (JSON).
How it works: 1) It captures Revision Velocity: the delta between human drafting and AI injections. 2) It intercepts paste and AI-interaction events, wrapping them in deterministic metadata. 3) It’s local-first. The audit trail stays with the author until they choose to export the signed container.
This is a v0.1 reference implementation built in Python/NiceGUI. I’m looking for feedback on: > The container structure (XHTML vs. Markdown). > The JSON event schema. > The Revision Distance logic: can we create a fingerprint for human effort that is as difficult to fake as the writing itself?

Show HN: Astroworld – A universal N-body gravity engine in Python
I’ve been working on a modular N-body simulator in Python called Astroworld. It started as a Solar System visualizer, but I recently refactored it into a general-purpose engine that decouples physical laws from planetary data.Technical Highlights:Symplectic Integration: Uses a Velocity Verlet integrator to maintain long-term energy conservation ($\Delta E/E \approx 10^{-8}$ in stable systems).Agnostic Architecture: It can ingest any system via orbital elements (Keplerian) or state vectors. I've used it to validate the stability of ultra-compact systems like TRAPPIST-1 and long-period perturbations like the Planet 9 hypothesis.Validation: Includes 90+ physical tests, including Mercury’s relativistic precession using Schwarzschild metric corrections.The Planet 9 Experiment:I ran a 10k-year simulation to track the differential signal in the argument of perihelion ($\omega$) for TNOs like Sedna. The result ($\approx 0.002^{\circ}$) was a great sanity check for the engine’s precision, as this effect is secular and requires millions of years to fully manifest.The Stack:NumPy for vectorization, Matplotlib for 2D analysis, and Plotly for interactive 3D trajectories.I'm currently working on a real-time 3D rendering layer. I’d love to get feedback on the integrator’s stability for high-eccentricity orbits or suggestions on implementing more complex gravitational potentials.

Show HN: New ads alternative for early SaaS/site owners to sell sponsor slots
Hey everyone,
I’ve been noticing a pattern on a lot of indie sites lately: side sponsor slots as an alternative to traditional Google Ads.
It feels like a cleaner way to monetize, especially for products that have meaningful traffic, but lower MRR. It also seems better for users since the ads can be relevant tools/products, instead of random Google spying on you ads.
How it works: it’s a marketplace where site owners can create and sell ad slots, and sponsors can browse and buy those slots. I also added a screenshot of a mockup for how it would look/work.
I’d genuinely love to hear why you would or wouldn’t use it - especially if you fit in the criteria below.
Roughly ideal early users:
SaaS/products with at least ~1,000 monthly users
Any site with a real audience (directory, tool site, content site, etc.)
