Show HN: ChexHQ – Financial decision intelligence for finance teams
Hi HN — I’m the founder of ChexHQ.
We’re building a financial decision intelligence platform for finance teams that are tired of spreadsheet-heavy forecasting and manual consolidation.
The goal: help finance leaders get real-time visibility into runway, cash flow, and key metrics without building complex models from scratch.
We’re early and would love feedback — especially from CFOs, finance managers, or operators here.
What would make something like this genuinely useful for you?

Show HN: A personal, open-source web runtime
Hi! I built Cute Magick because I wanted the simplicity & power of early web dev, but not the fragility.
It's an open source, self-hostable web host where your sites are plain folders of real code — HTML, PHP, Python, Node, Lua, SQL — and every file save creates a snapshot you can preview and rewind in one click.
No build steps, no abstractions. (Literally -- these are per-request runtimes).

Show HN: Parrot– AI Transcription & Translation - 11+ Indian languages + codemix
My father thinks in Bengali, but typing in native script is painful. Virtual keyboards are slow, punctuation is a maze, and switching between languages breaks flow. For formal writing — emails, letters, posts — it was exhausting.
So I built him a tool where he could just speak.
He dictated a two-page letter in Bengali, read the transcription, and said: "I didn't even need to change a single comma."
That's when I knew this needed to exist.
Parrot transcribes and translates speech in 11+ Indian languages. The difference: it's significantly more accurate than Whisper on Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and handles code-mixed speech (Hinglish, etc.) naturally. Outputs in native scripts (নমস্কার not "nomoshkar") or Romanized.
Sits in your menu bar. Press a hotkey, speak in any app — WhatsApp Web, Word, Slack, browsers. It writes.
Built for everyone who thinks in their language but struggles with virtual keyboards that don't correct grammar or formatting.
Desktop app for Windows & macOS. Free to try.
Shipping improvements weekly. Would love feedback from anyone dealing with multilingual input.

Show HN: cgrep – local, code-aware search for AI coding agents
Hi HN — I built cgrep, a local-first, code-aware search tool for AI coding agents (and humans).
The goal is to reduce noisy retrieval loops and token waste in real repositories. cgrep combines BM25 + tree-sitter symbol awareness, with optional semantic/hybrid search, and returns deterministic JSON for agent workflows.
What it does: - Code navigation: definition, references, callers, dependents - Focused context tools: read, map - Agent flow: `agent locate` -> `agent expand` (small payload first, expand only selected IDs) - MCP support: `cgrep mcp serve` + host install helpers - Agent install support: claude-code, codex, copilot, cursor, opencode
Benchmark snapshot (PyTorch, 6 implementation-tracing scenarios): - Baseline (`grep`) tokens-to-complete: 127,665 - cgrep (`agent locate/expand`) tokens-to-complete: 6,153 - 95.2% fewer tokens (20.75x smaller) - Avg retrieval latency to completion: 1321.3ms -> 22.7ms (~58.2x faster after indexing)
Links: - Repo: https://github.com/meghendra6/cgrep - Docs: https://meghendra6.github.io/cgrep/ - Benchmark method/results: https://meghendra6.github.io/cgrep/benchmarks/pytorch-agent-...
I’d really appreciate feedback on: - Real-world agent workflows I should benchmark next - MCP/agent integrations I should add - Cases where cgrep retrieval quality still falls short

Show HN: Neohabit – habit-tracker with adjustable habit frequencies (X / Y days)
Hey HN! I recently open-sourced a project that I came up with in the late 2022 and have been working on and off since. It's taken around a year or so of active development in total.
My problem with habit-trackers is that they're all the same. All of them basically allow to track only one thing - X times per 1 day. That's very rigid and goes against my instinct to ease into new things.
I wanted something that's flexible, self-sustainable, and wouldn't require a lot of maintenance.
After a bit of tinkering I came up with something novel - adjustable habit frequencies. And made all the custom github/anki-style heatmaps with all that functionality on top, meaning stuff like heatmaps for once-in-three-days habits.
It's hard to put into words, as it's very visual, so here's the landing: https://neohabit.org/ (might be a bit slow as it's deployed with github-pages)
And a demo: https://neohabit.org/projects

Show HN: Agent Hypervisor – Reality Virtualization for AI Agents
Author here. Built this after working on AI agent security at Radware, where we discovered ZombieAgent - persistent malicious instructions in agent memory.
The insight: Don't teach agents to resist attacks. Virtualize their perceived reality so attacks never enter their world. Like VMs hiding physical RAM → agents shouldn't see raw dangerous inputs.
ARCHITECTURE: - Input virtualization: Strip attacks at boundary (not after agent sees them) - Provenance tracking: Prevents contaminated learning (critical with continuous learning coming in 1-2 years per Amodei) - Taint propagation: Deterministic physics laws prevent data exfiltration - No LLM in critical path: Fully deterministic, testable
Working PoC demonstrates: - Prompt injection prevention (attacks stripped at virtualization boundary) - Taint containment (untrusted data can't escape system) - Deterministic decisions (same input = same output, always)
CRITICAL TIMING: Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO, Feb 13): Continuous learning in 1-2 years [1] Problem: Memory poisoning + continuous learning = permanent compromise Solution: Provenance tracking prevents untrusted data from entering learning loop
Research context: - OpenAI: "unlikely to ever be fully solved" [2] - Anthropic: 1% ASR = "meaningful risk" - Academic research: 90-100% bypass rates on published defenses [3]
Seeking feedback on whether ontological security (does X exist?) beats permission security (can agent do X?) for agent systems.
Practical workarounds available in repo for immediate use while PoC matures.
Disclaimer: Personal project, not Radware-endorsed. References to published work only.
Happy to answer questions!
