Show HN: Layrr – Point Click and Edit any site

Sat, 05/16/2026 - 10:26am

I made Layrr because I got tired of describing UI changes to coding agents.

Layrr opens your web app in the browser. You click the part and describe the changes. Layrr runs a coding agent in the background and fixes it

It works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini via Pi (huge fan of Pi)

Show HN: A Claude Skill to render resume templates. CV/Resumes are HTML and JSON

Sat, 05/16/2026 - 9:48am

Inspired from this post on X: https://x.com/trq212/status/2052809885763747935, I wanted to give a shot at creating resumes with Claude-in HTML. Great initial results when i did a one shot over pdf to HTML but then it hit:

- I could maintain templates of resumes.

- Templates changing shouldn't affect the underlying contents of the resume

- and, wait, we can make JSON the underlying data struct, and be able to modify that for every job description, and templates render the JSON

Really enjoyed playing around with this, cause it got me thinking: if agents are automating the most mundane workflows, why are we still bottlenecked with tools like Google doc, Word, etc to create and maintain resumes; why cant we reliably see a job description and re-render a resume fitted to that job while not compromising the templates? Why not let Claude maintain the JSON files for each job, or each of your own profiles, and render those JSON's in to your templates?

I'm open sourcing this, and I'd love if you all give it a try. Drop the Skill in in your .claude/skills/ dir, take your existing resume, and build something cool.

The starter template today is inspired from: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-pragmatic-engineers-r.... I plan to add some more starter templates in the coming days. Feel free to recommend which resume templates you want me to ship.

How to Use LLMs as Teachers?

Sat, 05/16/2026 - 9:47am

I’ve seen many comments lamenting the fall of the education system due to students handing off all of their work to LLMs. In those threads, people claim that LLMs _can_ be effective teachers but that students just aren’t using them right. In my experience, the inability to tell what’s actually important about a topic and the forced “assistant” default cadence makes it roughly on-par or worse than just reading the Wikipedia page. So how are people doing it? If you are able to learn new things directly from LLMs, how are you doing it?
