Vibe-coded a Chemistry Lab Simulator — open-sourcing it (alpha) Built a browser-based virtual chemistry lab using Claude Code, with the hope that it could help Cambridge AS Level (Class XI) students try experiments and attempt past paper questions without needing a real lab. Features were developed with continuous input and testing from an AS Level student. Students from other boards can also use the Free Lab section for individual chemical tests.

So I built an ultra lightweight Wispr Flow for the terminal. Deepgram is giving a pretty nice offer for $200 for free. Feel free to check it out and let me know how it goes.

bVisor is an SDK and runtime for safely executing bash commands directly on your host machine. We built it on the belief that "sandbox" doesn't need to mean shipping off to remote sandbox products, or spinning up local VMs / containers. Sometimes, you just want to run that bash command locally.

bVisor boots a sandbox from user-space without special permissions, powered by seccomp user notifier. This allows us to intercept syscalls from guest processes and selectively virtualize them to block privilege escalation, isolate process visibility, and keep filesystem changes isolated per sandbox (copy-on-write). Sandboxes boot in 2ms, and can run arbitrary binaries at native speed (with minor overhead per syscall). This approach is heavily inspired by Google's gVisor.

As of today, bVisor supports most filesystem operations, basic file I/O, and can run complex binaries such as python interpreters. It is packaged as a Typescript SDK and installable via npm. There's much to still implement (such as outbound network access to support 'curl', shipping a python SDK, etc), but we wanted to share it here for feedback and anyone who'd be able to make use of the current featureset!

Hey HN,

We’ve reached peak "chat interface." Claude Desktop and OpenAI are amazing at coding, but they are terrible for repetitive, blue-collar, or legacy enterprise workflows.

You cannot deploy Claude Desktop to a warehouse floor or an auto repair shop and expect workers to prompt-engineer their way through a proprietary GUI or a locked PDF every 5 minutes. They don't want a conversation; they want a button that does the job.

So I built OmniGlass (Rust/Tauri). It is an open-source, local-first runtime that lets developers turn any MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool into a 1-click OS-level visual action.

How developers use it: You write a standard MCP server (e.g., a 30-line Node script that queries an internal database). OmniGlass handles the visual pipeline:

The Trigger: The user snips a region of their screen.

The Vision: Native OS OCR (Apple Vision) extracts the text locally (no screen streaming).

The "Brain": An LLM dynamically maps the raw OCR text to your MCP tool’s strict JSON input_schema.

The Action: OmniGlass instantly renders a native button on the screen. The user clicks it. The tool executes. Zero prompting.

The Real-World Use Case (Why this matters): I found a $1,000 bounty on ProblemHunt from an auto shop. Mechanics are wasting hours looking at informal WhatsApp messages ("left radiator plug, Chery Tiggo") and manually cross-referencing them against messy, unsearchable Chinese auto-part PDFs.

A standard AI chat app fails here because of the friction. But with OmniGlass, a developer can build a "Find Auto Part" MCP plugin. You deploy it to the mechanic's Mac. The mechanic just snips the WhatsApp message, clicks the "Find Part" button that pops up, and the plugin queries the supplier API. The mechanic never talks to an AI. It just executes.

The Security Sandbox (Why not just use Claude's MCP integration?): Claude Desktop runs MCP tools with raw user permissions. A hallucination or prompt injection can read your ~/.ssh keys. Since OmniGlass is meant to be deployed in businesses, it runs entirely Zero-Trust. Every MCP plugin is locked inside a macOS sandbox-exec kernel profile. The /Users/ directory is default-deny.

My Asks for HN: This is infrastructure for developers to build on, and I need help pushing it forward:

The Auto Parts Bounty: I want to build the Chinese auto parts plugin to prove the platform. If anyone here has experience scraping or querying B2B auto supplier databases, let's collaborate and claim this bounty.

Break my sandbox: If you can write an MCP plugin that escapes my sandbox-exec profile and reads a protected file, please open a GitHub issue immediately. I want this bulletproofed.

OS Ports: The Rust core is solid, but if any low-level devs know Windows AppContainer or Linux Bubblewrap, I’d love help porting the security moat.

What legacy enterprise workflows would you build a visual tool for?

Every AI agent I use asks for the same context — my name, preferences, addresses — and I keep pasting it into different apps that each store their own copy.

Personal Vault is an encrypted local store for personal data with an MCP server so AI agents can query it with scoped access. You own the keys, the data never leaves your machine unless you allow it.

This isn't about agents talking to agents. It's about making the agent that works for you actually know who you are — with your permission, on your terms.

Use cases that click immediately: - Travel booking: agent pulls passport, loyalty numbers, seat pref, TSA PreCheck, dietary requirements - Form filling: government forms, insurance, visa docs — agent fills 90% of the fields from your vault

Technical details: - AES-256-GCM per field, Argon2id KDF, HKDF subkeys per category - Sensitivity tiers control what agents can see (public → standard → sensitive → critical) - Every access is audit-logged, tokens are scoped and revocable - Written in Go, no CGO, single binary, ~2500 lines

Install: curl -fsSL https://www.personalvault.dev/install.sh | sh GitHub: https://github.com/lovincyrus/personal-vault

CRIPIX seems to be a new and unusual concept. I came across it recently and noticed it’s available on Amazon. The description mentions something called the Information Sovereign Anomaly and frames the work more like a technological and cognitive investigation than a traditional book. What caught my attention is that it appears to question current AI and computational assumptions rather than promote them. Has anyone here heard about it or looked into it ?
