AI tool that saves time by auditing pull requests on Git
I've been working on this ai tool that is meant to save developers time spent auditing pull request. This tool uses openai's models to audit pull request, and bring analysis based on security, scalability and maintainability. It also has a feature where you can ask the code questions using voice input. It's still in development, and I'll really appreciate feedback. Would you use this tool? And what features would you like to see. Also, should I make the repo on git public? I'm scared of my code being stolen (This post was 100% written by a human)

Show HN: Novel visualizer for translations to/from Basque language
I made an extremely niche tool and wanted to see how fellow language learners, linguists and/or philologists (amateur or otherwise) react to it.
I've been preparing for a trip to the Basque Country later this year by learning Euskara (aka Basque). A big part of my learning process is following Euskara-language people on social media, then putting their subtitles into a machine translation service. However, since Euskara grammar is so different from that of English & Spanish, I found myself wanting to know the "how" and "why" of the translation. This visualizer scratches that itch for me.
I'm using a processing pipeline for this app that goes like: 1. Submit the input phrase to https://batua.eus (a Basque-owned & -operated machine translation service) 2. Run both the input and output through Stanford's Stanza NLP Python library 3. Pass Stanza's output to an LLM (Claude) to generate the data structure that drives the visualization.
I'm posting this knowing there are a couple limitations: 1. My API token for batua.eus is fairly limited, so now that I'm posting it to HN I expect that limitation to get hit 2. I'm risking some charges for my Claude API token, so I've had to limit folks to max 10 translations 3. I'll take this down the moment costs get out of control, tho I reckon the limited API token for batua will protect me :)
The monorepo source code can be found here https://github.com/mattdeboard/itzuli-stanza-mcp
It's split out by backend/ and frontend/. The backend has an architecture document I'm proud of. https://github.com/mattdeboard/itzuli-stanza-mcp/blob/main/b...
I've used Claude Code extensively for this project, and am very pleased with the quality I was able to coax out of it. Keeping an attitude of "senior dev mentoring a junior dev" toward Claude, and bringing my own taste/standards to the table.

What Will Happen to Android?
Many have heard the news that Google plans to block users from installing APKs not signed by Google. But Google hasn't changed its mind yet. I'm wondering if there are people here who know much more than we do. How do you plan to handle this situation if it's not a threat, but a real plan from Google?"

Show HN: OpenGraviton – Run 500B+ parameter models on a consumer Mac Mini
Hi HN,
I built OpenGraviton, an open-source AI inference engine designed to push the limits of running extremely large models on consumer hardware.
The system combines several techniques to drastically reduce memory and compute requirements:
• 1.58-bit ternary quantization ({-1, 0, +1}) for ~10x compression • dynamic sparsity with Top-K pruning and MoE routing • mmap-based layer streaming to load weights directly from NVMe SSDs • speculative decoding to improve generation throughput
These allow models far larger than system RAM to run locally.
In early benchmarks, OpenGraviton reduced TinyLlama-1.1B from ~2.05GB (FP16) to ~0.24GB using ternary quantization. Synthetic stress tests at the 140B scale show that models which would normally require ~280GB FP16 can fit within ~35GB when packed with the ternary format.
The project is optimized for Apple Silicon and currently uses custom Metal + C++ tensor unpacking.
Benchmarks, architecture, and details: https://opengraviton.github.io

Show HN: Fix CSV import errors before uploading to HubSpot or Salesforce
CSV imports often fail because of small issues: - invalid emails - date formats - numbers stored as text
I built a small tool that scans CSV/Excel files and fixes common issues before importing to CRMs.
Runs entirely in the browser so files never leave your computer.
Would love feedback.

Ask HN: OpenClaw for Music Production
I am exploring a product idea that I consider as “OpenClaw for music production” and would appreciate your feedback.
The core idea is an AI co-producer that doesn’t just chat, but can take action and actually help across different stages of making a track. Instead of generating music like Suno AI, it assists producers in overcoming obstacles and learning as they go.
A lot of producers get stuck at different points in the workflow:
- sound design (“I hear it in my head but can’t make it”) - arrangement (getting out of loop hell and turning an idea into a real song) - mixing / mastering ("does it sound good - radio-ready") - and simply knowing how to do something in a DAW or which technique to use
The product idea is a music production intelligence layer that can both guide and act.
For example, it could:
- listen to the current project - understand key / harmony / sonic space - suggest or create a melody that fits - help improve arrangement based on references - guide or assist with mixing and mastering - teach the producer how and why something works inside the DAW
The goal is not to generate finished songs like Suno.
The goal is to help music producers go from idea → finished track, while still learning, keeping creative control, and developing a sound that fits their artistic vision.
A few questions:
1. Which stage of production do you get stuck on most often? 2. Would you want an assistant who only gives guidance, or one who can also take actions inside the project? 3. What would make this genuinely useful rather than gimmicky? 4. What tools or workflows are you using today to solve these problems?
If this resonates, I’d be happy to share a prototype once we have one.
