Show HN: An MCP server for the docs of any repo that uses Sphinx

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 6:33am

It's a fairly simple stdio MCP server that provides AI agents a faster way to search through docs for any Sphinx-powered documentation. It builds Sphinx text docs and indexes them in SQLite (FTS5). There is also an optional hybrid search mode which creates embeddings and a vector db (sqlite-vec) and uses both approaches via RRF to get the best answer to your agent.

I've run this on several repos of varying size and complexity (pandas, celery, cpython) and have been impressed with the resulting answers.

Ask HN: How do C-level come up with % on their bold predictions?

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 6:30am

I'm tired of seeing news about big tech C-level saying that >90% of code will be generated by XXXX year. How do they come up with this % indicators? Do they have some kind of insight data that we peasants don't have access to, or these numbers completely made up?

Show HN: ÆTHERYA Core – deterministic policy engine for governing LLM actions

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 5:43am

LLMs can propose actions, but they shouldn't execute them directly.

I built a small deterministic policy engine to govern actions proposed by LLMs before they are executed.

The system enforces:

- fail-closed execution - signed out-of-band approval proofs - anti-replay protection - verifiable audit chain

The repository includes a CLI demo showing how irreversible actions are denied, approved, and audited.

Feedback welcome.

Show HN: A .NET Web Framework on the Base .NET Core SDK

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 5:41am

I’ve been experimenting with building a web framework directly on top of the base .NET runtime without using the ASP.NET Web SDK.

I'm calling it Wisp.

The main motivation was frustration with some aspects of ASP.NET, especially the requirement to target the Web SDK instead of the base .NET SDK. That makes embedding small HTTP apps inside existing applications harder than it should be since it forces you to pollute your scope with the Web SDK.

I also don't like CSHTML/Razor and wanted a more traditional templating language.

Wisp is a relatively lightweight MVC framework built without any dependencies on the .NET Web SDK.

Some highlights:

- Runs on the base .NET SDK (no ASP.NET dependency) - Traditional MVC controllers - Dependency injection via Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection - Configuration via Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration - Templating via the Fluid engine (Liquid-compatible) It's still very alpha and definitely rough around the edges, but I've already built a few small applications with it and it works surprisingly well.

The code is written by hand, not vibe-coded.

If you're interested in experimenting with alternative approaches to building web apps in .NET, feedback and contributions are very welcome.

Docs: https://wispframework.github.io/Wisp/

Quick start:

dotnet new install Wisp.Framework.Templates dotnet new wisp.mvc dotnet run A minimal application looks like this:

var hostBuilder = new WispHostBuilder(); hostBuilder.UseStaticFiles(); var appBuilder = hostBuilder.Build(); appBuilder.UseControllers(); var app = appBuilder.Build(); await app.RunAsync(); It should hopefully Just Work(tm) :)

Show HN: Glyph, a local-first Markdown notes app for macOS built with Rust

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 5:36am

Glyph is an open-source, local-first Markdown notes app for macOS built with Rust (Tauri)

It stores notes as plain files, supports fast search, wikilinks/backlinks, and includes optional AI chat, including implementation of Codex so you can use your chatgpt sub, all without requiring a cloud-first workflow.
