UltraPlot v2.0.1 is out!

UltraPlot is a Matplotlib wrapper aimed at keeping Matplotlib’s flexibility while making common plotting workflows faster and more consistent.

v2.x focuses on semantic legends (categorical/numeric/size/geo), more reliable layout + axis-sharing in complex grids, guide architecture cleanup, CI hardening, and much faster import times via lazy loading.

We also launched a new docs site with a gallery: https://ultraplot.readthedocs.io/

Code: https://github.com/Ultraplot/UltraPlot

Feedback is very welcome, especially on legend API ergonomics and layout behavior in real figures.

We built this because every sports AI demo uses fake data or locks you behind an enterprise API contract.

sports-skills gives your agent real sports data with one install command. No API keys. No accounts. For personal use.

Eight connectors out of the box: NFL, soccer across 13 leagues with xG, Formula 1 lap and pit data, NBA, WNBA, Polymarket, Kalshi, and a sports news aggregator pulling from BBC/ESPN/The Athletic.

I use Claude everyday (no joke) and kept getting annoyed by the same thing: selecting text from responses with the mouse. Overshoot, re-select, copy, click input, paste. Especially bad in long conversations where you want to reference something from 30 turns ago. asdPrompt is a Chrome extension that adds hint-based navigation (like Vimium) to AI chat interfaces. Cmd+Shift+S activates the overlay, hint labels appear next to every text block. Type a letter to select a block, then keep typing to drill down: block → sentence → word. Enter copies, or you can press an action key (e, d, x) to inject a follow-up prompt ("elaborate on [selection]") directly into the chat input.

Works on claude.ai, chatgpt.com, and gemini.google.com. Adapts to light/dark themes. Free. Built the initial MVP in 2 days using Claude Code — the adapter architecture, NLP segmentation pipeline, and Playwright test harness would have taken a month without it.

Tech details for the curious: site-specific DOM parsers behind an adapter interface, text segmentation via compromise.js with regex fallbacks for technical content (paths, camelCase break NLP libraries), bounding rectangles calculated via Range API + TreeWalker, overlay isolated in Shadow DOM. Tested with Playwright visual regression.

The landing page has an interactive tutorial where you can try the full drill-down mechanic without installing. Happy to talk about the implementation.

i have noticed that Opera tends to get a surprisingly negative reaction in technical communities. but i have not yet seen a clear and technically grounded explanation that justifies the level of dislike. from what i can tell, common criticisms seems to be that the company was acquired by a Chinese consortium or a questions about privacy.

what are your strongest technically accurate arguments against using Opera in 2026?

Hi HN,

I built Sniptail — an open-source bot that lets you run AI coding agents (Codex / Copilot CLI) against real repos directly from Slack or Discord.

Instead of AI living only inside one developer’s IDE, Sniptail turns it into a team-facing layer:

- Mention the bot and ask how a feature works - Run commands to ask, plan or implement collaboratively - Generate repo reports - Open lightweight PRs

All against explicitly approved repos.

Flow:

Slack/Discord → job queued in Redis → worker clones repo → agent runs → report or PR link posted back in-thread.

It’s self-hosted, repo-scoped, and modular (chat channel, agent, git provider are separate layers).

Not trying to replace Copilot/Codex/CC, the worker runs it on your behalf.

Repo:

https://github.com/Justkog/sniptail

If the project gains traction, the idea is to support:

- more agents (Claude Code, Open Code, …) - more channels (Telegram, Microsoft Teams, …) - more git services (Bitbucket, Azure Repos, …)

Feel free to try it, let me know if you find it actually useful!

Happy to go deep on architecture if helpful.
