Show HN: Flux – search, monitor, and nuke processes with ease

Hacker News - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 9:54am

Got tired of juggling top, grep, and kill -9 every time I wanted to identify what was eating my resources or kill a process. So I built flux - a clean and easy-to-use TUI that lets you search, monitor, and nuke processes with ease, with system resource tracking.

Features:

Real-time Resource Monitoring: Track CPU and memory usage, live

Port Discovery: Identify which processes are listening on specific ports

Batch Actions: Select multiple processes with Space or use --nuke to batch-kill by filter

Easy Navigation: Move around effortlessly with j/k or arrow keys

Smart UI: Context-aware coloring for high resource usage

Made in Rust.

How I See Front End Evolving

Hacker News - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 9:48am

Many posts claim that "development is becoming obsolete" but they rarely discuss what software evolution actually looks like.

Yes, a growing portion of development, especially frontend boilerplate, is becoming automated. But automation doesn’t eliminate development; It changes its shape. The real question isn’t whether coding disappears. It’s: What does development become when repetitive UI work is largely automated?

Here’s one direction I see emerging: the rise of variable frontends.

Today, most frontends are hardcoded into predefined states and flows. Even "dynamic" apps operate within rigid UI structures designed ahead of time. But as AI systems become more capable, I believe we’ll move toward frontends that are generated in response to context.

Instead of designing every screen manually, developers will configure systems, data models, workflows, constraints, and AI will generate interfaces dynamically around them.

This is already starting in small ways through open-source tooling and AI-driven UI frameworks. Over time, it will become more common.

Imagine: - A mobile app that generates its interface based on the task you’re trying to complete. Maybe a new OS that redefines the concept of apps altogether?

- A web app whose layout adapts in real time to user intent.

- Admin panels that construct themselves from backend schemas.

- Internal tools that reshape their UI based on role, workflow, or goal.

In this world, the frontend isn't always a fixed artifact. It has capabilities of a fluid layer generated from logic, context, and intent.

Development doesn’t disappear. It shifts from manually building screens to designing systems that generate them, where applicable.

This shift will introduce new layers of complexity. As frontends become dynamic and AI-generated, teams will push them to handle more personalization, edge cases, and advanced workflows. The difficulty won’t disappear. It will move from building screens to controlling, constraining, and validating what those systems generate.

That’s the evolution I see coming.

(PS: I used AI to improve my writing here)

Show HN: Vibe-coded 32-bit OS from scratch – multitasking, windowing, networking

Hacker News - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 9:45am

32-bit x86 operating system written in C and Rust (Soon), largely through vibe coding with Claude.

Suprised me how much i was able to get done in such little time.

I do have a little bit of previous experience.

Show HN: Terminalcore – The Rhythm Game for PC

Hacker News - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 9:39am

Hey all! Built a PC based rhythm game designed around a terminal and ascii aesthetic. All built with Claude Code. Unsurprisingly LLMs are terrible at 'hearing' music so I had to make the beat maps manually. I built a separate tool to create the maps using a timeline editor to make it easier.

Started with 3 tracks one difficulty each, wanted to share before I went any further. Let me know what you think!

Don't Bother Waiting for the iPhone 18. Just Buy the iPhone 17

CNET Feed - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 9:01am
Commentary: If you want a new iPhone, buy the iPhone 17. The iPhone 18 is still too far away, and we don't know enough about it to warrant waiting.
