Show HN: Oore CI – self-hosted, Flutter-first mobile CI (public alpha)

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 6:29am

Built Oore CI to run mobile CI + internal app distribution on your own infrastructure.

Public alpha is live. It’s early, and I’m looking for practical feedback from people who actually try it.

Start here: - Install guide: https://docs.oore.build/getting-started/install

- Alpha onboarding: https://docs.oore.build/getting-started/public-alpha

- Known limitations: https://docs.oore.build/getting-started/known-limitations

- Live demo: https://demo.oore.build

- Repo: https://github.com/devaryakjha/oore.build

Install command (from the guide): curl -fsSL https://oore.build/install | bash

If you try it and something feels rough or unclear, I’d really appreciate a quick issue: https://github.com/devaryakjha/oore.build/issues/new/choose

Show HN: Interesting story pairing from across the Hacker News Corpus

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 6:21am

The main sort is now like 'TF-IDF for HN "related:" comments', in other words, instead of surfacing the story groups linked by related AND that have similar titles, we surface those which have distinct titles (inverting the Jaccard metric, effectively).

I realized that the reason this wasn't resonating with the community is:

1) HN is more about signal than noise, giant discussions are more "emotional reactions" to current events, or "habitual postings" and not so "high entropy" as unique connections

2) If you want to "cluster by title / topic" as the original versions of this Show accomplished, you can, as one astute commenter pointed out, just use HN Algolia.

Steal Your Competitors' Customers

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 6:20am

I am vibecoding https://getstealery.com/, a tool to steal your competitors’ customers. It is in Beta, I now want to get my first users.

I’m a 24M salesman working at a B2B software startup doing mostly cold outreach. I was struggling with very low reply rates and prospects who didn’t clearly express pain points. But I realized something: competitors’ customers almost always have frustrations with their current tools.

Instead of guessing problems during outreach, I started targeting companies already using competitor software.

I first built a no-code automation using Make and Linkup to find those companies. Then I contacted them with messaging like: “You use X, so you probably struggle with Y. We fix that.”

Reply rates roughly tripled and I booked twice as many meetings. Sales calls were also easier because the pain points were already relevant.

The problem was that the workflow was messy and limited. So I vibe coded a software to automate the process.

Ask HN: Do you think China will produce a SOTA model in the next 2 years

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 6:18am

Recent models like Kimi, Qwen, GLM, Deepseek etc seem to do well in benchmarks but not when actually using them in practise. Do you think they'll be an actual SOTA model by them in the next 2 years? Why/why not?

NOTE: referring to text models

Show HN: 3D Lab Viewer – View Step, STL, 3MF Files in the Browser

Wed, 02/18/2026 - 6:15am

I saw Microsoft is deprecating 3D Viewer and removing it from Store in July. I always had trouble checking STEP files quickly - you have to open a slicer or full CAD software just to look at a part. So I built a viewer.

https://viewer.3dlab.id - drag and drop a file, it renders in browser. No signup, no install.

Formats: STL, STEP/STP, OBJ, 3MF, GLB

STEP parsing runs via OpenCascade compiled to WebAssembly (occt-import-js), all client-side in a Web Worker so it doesn't block the UI.

Stack: React, TypeScript, Three.js, Vite. Backend for sharing is Cloudflare Pages Functions + D1 + R2. There's also a Windows desktop version built with Tauri, but not released yet.

Other features: - multiple files in tabs - wireframe mode, ortho/perspective toggle - share models via link (expires in 7 days) - dark/light theme

The sharing is useful when you need to send a model to someone who doesn't have CAD software - they just open the link and see it, no account needed.

Still WIP, feedback welcome. Source code is on GitHub: https://github.com/Goodsmileduck/3d-lab-viewer
