Show HN: SeaTicket – Duplicate Bug Finder for GitHub
I built SeaTicket to correlate duplicate bug reports across GitHub, Discord, forums, and email. Instead of relying on matching keywords, it identifies reports that likely describe the same underlying issue and catch the duplication.

Show HN: MegaDSP an effects plugin for DAWs with 50 effects
Hey HN,
I am creating megaDSP, a huge DAW plugin for all platforms, with the goal of it being a free, open-source, and semi or fully autonomous github project that evolves around community feedback.
It currently has more than 50 audio effects that can be combined together in effects chains, and also supports "snapshots" where you can seamlessly switch between different effects chains (for live use, like a fancy guitar pedalboard for example).
I would really love if you have a moment to test it out, give thoughts, etc.
There are many, many plugins out there in the world, but many of them are either DAW-specific or have annoying copy protections etc.
Having one huge plugin with great DSP algorithms seems like it could be a benefit to the music/audio world.
Thanks, -Kevin

Show HN: TrueDeck – open-source multi-agent terminal deck that abstracts memory
For the past year I've been using VScode as my terminal space, however with the constant friction of reopening sessions, managing different projects, and re-explaining context so agents stayed useful.
TrueDesk was my answer.
Of course aside from it being open source: Real CLIs side by side, multi-pane layout, session restore, keybinds that smoothly transition windows, and memory/MCP automatic so you don't run a second ops stack.
Clean UI that just feels good.
Can't forget about the sweet rust + ts build.
I'd appreciate a star :3 https://github.com/WutIsHummus/TrueDeck
