Show HN: Yappy – A Python TUI to automate LinkedIn yapping
Hey HN,
I got tired of the performative culture on LinkedIn. The platform mostly feels like people just yapping at each other all day to farm engagement, so I decided to build a CLI tool to do the yapping for me. It's called Yappy (because we just yap yap yap).
It is an open-source Python TUI that automates your LinkedIn engagement directly from the command line. It logs in, reads your feed, and uses the Gemini API to generate context-aware comments and drop likes based on your prompt parameters. Everything runs completely in the terminal, so you never actually have to look at the feed yourself.
I know AI-generated comments and web scraping are controversial, and LinkedIn's TOS strictly prohibits this kind of automation. This is built purely as an experimental toy project and a proof-of-concept for integrating LLMs with terminal interfaces. If you actually decide to run it, definitely use a burner account, as LinkedIn will likely restrict you if you run it too aggressively.
I am mostly looking for technical feedback on the Python code architecture and the TUI implementation.
Would love to hear your thoughts. Roast my code or drop a PR if you find the concept funny.

Show HN: Swarm – Program a colony of 200 ants using a custom assembly language
We built an ant colony simulation as an internal hiring challenge at Moment and decided to open it up publicly.
You write a program in a custom assembly-like (we call it ant-ssembly) instruction set that controls 200 ants. Each ant can sense nearby cells (food, pheromones, home, other ants) but has no global view. The only coordination mechanism is pheromone trails, which ants can emit and sense them, but that's it. Your program runs identically on every ant.
The goal is to collect the highest percentage of food across a set of maps. Different map layouts (clustered food, scattered, obstacles) reward very different strategies. The leaderboard is live.
Grand prize is a trip to Maui for two paid for by Moment. Challenge closes March 12.
Curious what strategies people discover. We've seen some surprisingly clever emergent behavior internally.

Show HN: SafeAgent – exactly-once execution guard for AI agents
LLM agents and tool-calling systems frequently retry or replay actions.
This becomes dangerous when the action is irreversible: - sending emails - opening tickets - executing trades - triggering payouts
SafeAgent is a small Python library that enforces exactly-once execution for agent actions using request-ID deduplication.
Example:
from settlement.settlement_requests import SettlementRequestRegistry
registry = SettlementRequestRegistry()
def send_email(): print("EMAIL SENT")
registry.execute( request_id="email:user123:invoice", action="send_email", payload={"to": "user123@example.com"}, execute_fn=send_email )
If the same request_id is replayed, the action does not run again.
Instead the original execution receipt is returned.

Breaking Down 50M Pins: A Smarter Way to Design 3D IC Packages
Show HN: Gluon – Project management with impact-based task prioritization
I built Gluon because I was tired of switching between a project manager, a to-do app, and a calendar every day. Gluon combines all three. The core idea is the Impact Score — each task gets a 1–10 score so you prioritize by importance, not just deadlines. Features: - Projects with task tracking and completion rates - Calendar view with tasks and events side by side - Location-based reminders (arrive/leave a place) - Productivity stats with streak tracking and weekly insights Available on iOS. Free to download with a Pro plan for advanced stats. Would love any feedback — especially on the Impact Score concept. Is this something you'd actually use? app store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gluon-project-manager/id675893...
