Show HN: Foomchat – an AI chat where the interface is whatever you want

Wed, 07/22/2026 - 10:28am

I had this idea a while ago: these language models write decent code now — enough to quickly prototype different ways their own interfaces could work. So why keep reinventing the wheel separately? Combine it: a chat interface where, within the interface, you simply ask the model for the interface changes you want.

That's Foomchat. You ask for messages rendered a certain way, a font, your own theme, a timer in the sidebar — you describe it, the model codes it, and it's installed live in the app. Maybe it isn't perfect the first run — models still misinterpret things — so you explain the change you want, it updates the feature, done.

To publish a feature, it first has to be reviewed — features are, in essence, arbitrary code injection, so it's vital that everything on the browse page is safe. Once approved, a feature goes public on the catalog. Cards have a "try" button that installs it locally without saving it to your account (refresh and it's gone), and an install button that makes it permanent — from then on, whatever it modifies is just part of the site for you.

Published features have dependency tracking and version locking, so features can extend other features without a dependency update breaking yours.

New signups get 100 free credits, enough for a real taste. You can bring your own API key, or there are $10 and $20 subscriptions for the convenient route.

Solo project. I'm looking for people to give it a try and hopefully find real use in it — and if there's anything to critique, I genuinely want to hear it so I can make it better.

Why haven't volumetric displays taken off?

Wed, 07/22/2026 - 9:32am

I see volumetric displays at conferences, in advertising, and super niche use cases.

It's usually something like the Voxon or Hypervsn, or some lesser known fog display.

It looks cool in person. Not sure if it's too expensive, hard to use, or just not solving a real problem.

But I'm curious why hasn't this stuff taken off?

Are volumetric displays a dead space? Is anyone on HN working on this stuff or seen anything interesting in volumetric display tech?
