Online job scams seem increasingly common. I'm curious whether people would actually use a job board where every job listing is verified before being published. Would something like this make you more likely to search for jobs there?

Hi HN,

I’ve spent years hopping between different knowledge bases, but I always found myself hesitating to open them for quick, transient thoughts just because of the loading lag or the cognitive load of deciding where a note belongs before I even write it.

My buddy and I decided to build Jot (gojot.app) to solve this specific friction. The philosophy is simple: it should feel as lightweight as a physical sticky note, but with the power of modern web tech.

Under the hood, Jot is local-first. It works offline by default, keeping your notes with you, and handles syncing in the background. We built in instant markdown formatting and a Command-K menu to keep hands on the keyboard.

We are actively wrestling with a few technical challenges and would love some eyes on the project:

Sync Architecture: Re-engineering the cross-device sync logic, specifically around edge cases with deleted notes and removed tags.

UI/UX Edge Cases: Redesigning the Command-K dropdown to prevent container overflow when triggered in the middle of the text area.

Markdown Parsing: Squashing some text-parsing bugs (like formatting failing to trigger if an underscore is added after typing the word).

I’d love to hear how the "quick capture" flow feels to you. Any feedback from folks who have built or scaled local-first syncing architectures would be incredibly appreciated.

Hi HN,

I’m building Main Character, a gamified productivity app where you earn XP and levels for completing tasks and habits.

Tasks run on a simple kanban board and habits are tracked with a GitHub-style consistency graph. The goal is to make everyday work fun and feel more like a game.

Why I built it:

I like games (used to play EverQuest and World of Warcraft), but between work and kids I haven’t had much time for them over the last 20 years. I wanted something that scratches that same itch while helping me stay on track.

I also wanted something simple for tracking tasks and habits. My current longest streak is almost 900 days of practicing math daily.

A lot of productivity apps end up making the act of managing work the focus instead of actually doing the work. I’m trying to keep this simple and motivating.

There’s a no-login demo you can: https://maincharacter.game

It works best on desktop, but it's usable on mobile, more work to do there.

It’s still simple, but it’s the best thing I’ve built on my own and I’m excited to keep building it.

I've been building the substrate layer for production AI systems in Rust. This is the index repo for 10 crates I shipped this week. The AI side covers agent memory (episodic, semantic, working with decay and multi-agent bus), cost governance with hard budget enforcement and automatic model downgrade cascade, CRDT state sync for distributed agent fleets, output versioning with full lineage tracking, a knowledge graph on top of agent memory, LLM inference primitives for WASM and edge runtimes, and a complete ReAct loop that runs inside a Cloudflare Worker. The financial side covers market primitives (orderbook, OHLCV, indicators, position, risk) and a streaming ingestion pipeline handling 100K+ ticks/second across 4 exchanges.

Everything is zero-panic enforced at the lint level, typed errors with thiserror throughout, no unnecessary dependencies. The crates are designed to compose, the orchestrator runs the agents, memory stores what they know, the graph understands relationships between what they know, the budget governs what they spend, sync keeps 24 agents consistent without locks.

The orchestration engine that coordinates all of this is tokio-prompt-orchestrator, which I've been running with 24 simultaneous Claude Code agents.
