Tell HN: I got Claude Max for my open source project

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 2:11am

Not long ago there was a link to an offer for Claude Max for open source projects with more than 5000 stars. My project Go Micro (https://go-micro.dev) fit that criteria and they gave me access. So we know it works! 10 years ago I was desperate to find or hire people to work on this with me. Now this subscription for an agent will basically cover the work. It's crazy to think what change occurs in that time. Anyways thanks to whoever posted it. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise!

Show HN: PulseWatch – AI-powered website change monitoring with visual selectors

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 2:10am

I built PulseWatch as a solo dev because I was tired of writing CSS selectors to monitor websites for changes.

It uses GPT-4o to analyze page screenshots and suggest what to track — just point and click. When something changes, you get a plain-language summary instead of a raw diff.

Tech stack: .NET 8, Flutter (web + iOS + Android), PostgreSQL, Railway + Vercel.

Free tier: 2 monitors with daily checks.

Demo: https://youtu.be/2SKgV4QqtNg

Happy to answer any questions!

Tell HN: I exported my data from ChatGPT

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 1:49am

Surprisingly, it's only ~800MB uncompressed.

I've only had a cursory look so far, and seen all the images I've ever generated, all audio snippets out of context and a ~100MB html chat file. The chat file includes all metadata, presumably chat and project names.

I did this to send a signal following the recent Dept. of War debacle. In a similar vein I also cancelled my subscription and accepted one month free, taking me into April.

I've paid since 2023 and was pretty much on auto-renew with it due to the strength of the models and the option to use codex. However, I'm happy to pay cursor for that privilege now, or make do on local models for basic questions and chains of thought.

The assumption of the new normal was shaken up a bit for me. I don't necessarily trust Anthropic as a drop in replacement either. I'd rather remain agnostic and just pay as required.

This forced reflection has also made me question the benefits I've had from my subscription in recent months. I no longer ask code questions there, that all happens elsewhere. I plan projects, but have been moving that over to assistant type services now, with the benefit of reminders and CLI tool integration (todoist - which I could even replace with a task-list.md and tracking if going to extremes).

Things are changing, and I appreciate the catalyst. I've got a month or so to decide on next steps. I'm largely inclined to just put the subscription money into coding and agent tools now, organising project and info data locally instead.

What are you doing?

Show HN: Yare.io – 1v1 JavaScript coding game

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 1:45am

A deceptively simple game of 9 vs. 9 cats. Your actions are limited to moving and shooting, but 'how' you move your units and when or which cat you shoot can be difficult to decide.

You can play against the prepared bots, or against other 'human' players in real-time matches.

Show HN: Yet another colour palette generator, but it's a cool one

Wed, 03/04/2026 - 1:41am

I wanted to generate many colour palette on my Garmin watch, so I made an IA for that.

I used the microgpt architecture released a few days ago. I think it works pretty well.

You can also set one or two starting colours, which is perhaps the mode where the tool is the most interesting.
