Show HN: Sqlmodel.org – open-source Browser Data Modelling

Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:21am

Data modelling is still surprisingly painful — most tools are either heavy enterprise software, desktop apps, or disconnected from how modern data teams actually work.

I built SQLModel.org, an open-source, browser-based data modelling tool aimed at making schema design fast, visual, and collaborative.

Show HN: Ziran, security testing for AI agents

Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:18am

Link: https://github.com/taoq-ai/ziran

Hey HN, I want to introduce you to ZIRAN, an open-source security testing framework for AI agents.

As an AI engineer working with LangChain and CrewAI agents in production, I was frustrated that existing security tools (PyRIT, Garak) only test LLMs, not agents. They miss the unique attack surface agents create: dangerous tool combinations, multi-step exploits, and agent-to-agent (A2A) communication risks.

That's why I built ZIRAN - a tool specifically designed to find agent vulnerabilities. Key features:

- Tool Chain Analysis - Detects dangerous combinations (read_file → http_request) - A2A Security Testing - Tests agent-to-agent communication (Google's A2A protocol) - Multi-Phase Campaigns - Trust exploitation over multiple turns - Knowledge Graphs - Visualizes attack paths through agent capabilities

Feedback is very welcome!

Ask HN: AI Depression

Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:12am

Hi,

Throw-away account because my original one is easily identifiable.

Does any starts to feel depressed about AI push and hype? I'm around ~45 and have been happily hacking and delivering stuff for 25 years.

I use AI daily — it's a useful tool. But the gap between the marketing and reality for many of us is hard to describe. The people and corporations and all those LinkedIn gurus, podcasters declaring our obsolescence are overwhelmingly people who've never built or maintained anything complex in their lives. I'm sick of posts showing developers as awesome managers orchestrating fleets of Codex and Claude Code instances — I don't know a single person who actually has access to unlimited quotas for that. I'm now scared to publish open source because some random AI agent might spam my repo with garbage PRs and issues. Are we really expected to deliver mediocre C compilers while emitting millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere just to make a handful of rich people even more rich? And suddenly we have something like Moltbook to pollute our planet even more. Where are we going with this?

Anybody feels something like that? I seriously thinking about leaving the industry to keep my mental health in control or switch to some tech that is hard for AI.

Show HN: Paper Banana – AI academic illustration generator

Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:07am

Hi HN,

I built PaperBanana to help researchers create professional scientific figures and diagrams using AI.

It turns text descriptions or rough sketches into publication-ready illustrations, including system architectures, flowcharts, and schematics.

I’d love to hear your feedback on the output quality and what scientific styles you’d like to see added.

Show HN: A lightweight, ad-free medal tracker for Milano Cortina 2026

Fri, 02/13/2026 - 7:07am

I got frustrated with the official Olympic websites and mainstream sports apps. They are often bloated with trackers, heavy ads, and confusing navigation, especially on mobile.

So I built Milano2026.live.

The goal was simple:

Speed: Near-instant loading for checking results on the go.

No Bloat: No ads, no unnecessary JS.

Better UX: A clean schedule that doesn't feel like reading a spreadsheet (just fixed the formatting based on early feedback!).

It's built using Next.js 15 and deployed on Vercel. I'm using ISR to keep the medal counts fresh while keeping the server load minimal.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the performance or if there's any specific data you'd like to see added during the games!
