Show HN: Fix-my-mic – stop macOS from switching to AirPods mic every connection

Sat, 02/21/2026 - 12:34am

airpods connect to mac → mic hijacked automatically → you sound like a tin can. mac has a 3-mic built-in array made for calls. airpods doesn't come close.

this runs in the background, keeps airpods as output, keeps mac as input. native swift. ~10mb ram. zero cpu.

``` npx fix-my-mic ```

that's it.

Ask HN: How would you distribute a privacy-first AI chat for teams?

Sat, 02/21/2026 - 12:16am

Hi HN,

I’m looking for advice on distribution and positioning for a privacy-first AI chat system we’ve been building.

We have two open-source pieces:

- Conduit — a native mobile client for Open WebUI (GPL). It started as a personal project, but now has teams using it and asking for things like SSO, reverse-proxy auth, and security reviews. - Onera — a privacy-first AI chat backend + client where conversations are end-to-end encrypted, with models running inside TEE enclaves. The operator (including us) can’t see conversation content. The client is fully open source and auditable.

The users we’re seeing are: - companies already using Open WebUI who want a mobile client - teams that want a hosted or self-hosted AI chat but don’t want the operator to access message data - privacy or security-sensitive orgs (internal tools, regulated environments, etc.)

What we’re struggling with isn’t building, it’s distribution: - How do teams usually discover tools like this? - Is it better to lead with "Open WebUI ecosystem" or "private AI chat"? - For companies evaluating something like this, what actually matters early on (audits, reference deployments, integrations, etc.)?

If you were building or buying something like this, how would you approach getting it in front of the right users?

Enable automatic coverage workflow setup

Sat, 02/21/2026 - 12:10am

No YAML to write, no docs to read. GitAuto detects your language, framework, and test setup - then opens a PR with the right CI workflow. Merge it, pick which repos to schedule, done.

Already have repos installed? Hit the setup button on the Coverage Dashboard or Charts page.

Show HN: Stop Pasting Credentials in Slack

Sat, 02/21/2026 - 12:02am

I built VaultLink to solve a recurring problem: how do you securely share an API key or password with someone when you don’t use the same password manager (or don’t use one at all)?

VaultLink encrypts secrets client-side using the Web Crypto API (AES-256-GCM). The encryption key is delivered via a URL fragment (#key=...), which is never sent to the server. The server stores only ciphertext, IV, and salt. Decryption happens entirely in the browser.

Access requires email OTP, and view limits are enforced atomically at the database level to prevent race conditions.

It’s not trying to replace password managers or prevent a recipient from copying a secret. The goal is to reduce accidental exposure and long-lived credential leaks in chat.

Show HN: Skill Check CLI for your skill.md

Sat, 02/21/2026 - 12:01am

I've accumulated a ton of useful skills (skill.md) for my AI agents and to use on .cursor, .claude., .codex.

But I needed a tool to ensure they would respect some basic rules to avoid security issues and burning too quickly my tokens.

Now, with npx skill-check, I can quickly inspect any online skills or my own and fix any issue automatically.

Show HN: Mukoko weather – AI-powered weather intelligence built for Zimbabwe

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 11:51pm

Zimbabwe has 90+ towns and cities, a population of 15+ million, significant agricultural and mining sectors — and almost no weather infrastructure built specifically for it. Global apps cover Harare and Bulawayo at best, and the AI summaries they generate read like they were written for someone in London. I built mukoko weather to fix this. A few things that shaped the approach: Weather as a public good. The platform is free, no ads, no paywalls. If a smallholder farmer in Chinhoyi needs frost risk data to protect their crops tonight, that can’t be behind a subscription. Hyperlocal context matters more than raw data. Zimbabwe has distinct agricultural seasons — Zhizha (rainy), Chirimo (spring), Masika (early rains), Munakamwe (winter). Elevation varies dramatically: the Highveld sits above 1,200m, the Zambezi Valley below 500m. The AI assistant, Shamwari Weather, is prompted with this geographic and seasonal context so its advice is actually meaningful to the user. Constrained environments are the primary target, not an edge case. Mobile-first, bandwidth-efficient, PWA-installable. The majority of users are on Android, often on 3G or spotty LTE. That’s not a future concern — it’s the baseline. Technical decisions: ∙ Next.js 15 App Router on Cloudflare Pages + Workers ∙ AI summaries via Anthropic Claude SDK, server-side only, cached at the edge with KV and immutable TTL tiers (AI-generated weather advice shouldn’t change retroactively) ∙ Open-Meteo for forecast data (free, high-quality global model coverage) ∙ 90+ Zimbabwe locations validated against geographic bounds with elevation data for frost modelling The broader vision is weather as infrastructure within a larger Africa super app (Mukoko Africa), with Zimbabwe as the proof of concept before expanding to other developing country markets using the same locally-grounded approach. Would love feedback on the approach, especially from anyone who’s built for similar markets — low-bandwidth, mobile-dominant, regions underserved by global platforms.
