is this a taste of things to come?
jaequery··on Show HN: Roadkill – a zombie car game inspired by the original GTA's driving
This game is pretty awesome. This should be upvoted more!
jaequery··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2026)
Fredrin | Forward Deployed Engineers | Los Angeles, CA | REMOTE | $150k-$250k annual salary

Fredrin is an AI software factory for engineering teams: run many coding agents in parallel from one Kanban board, with each ticket getting its own branch, worktree, and agent session. We bring planning, execution, code review, and pull requests into one workspace. https://www.fredrin.com

We're hiring forward deployed engineers to help teams adopt Fredrin in real production workflows. You'll work directly with customer engineers, connect their repos and CI, make their codebases agent-ready, debug deployments, and turn what you learn into improvements you ship in Fredrin itself.

We're looking for strong TypeScript skills, deep practical knowledge of Git and worktrees, experience shipping production software, and hands-on experience with AI coding agents. You should be comfortable owning ambiguous problems and communicating clearly with customers. Try Fredrin before applying: you'll be teaching it from day one.

Apply here: https://www.fredrin.com/careers/forward-deployed-engineer

jaequery··on Show HN: Agentgit – a Git host for AI agents, no account, no token, no key
Agents get their own git? What are some use cases for this?
jaequery··on Show HN: A Kanban for vibe coding in Claude Code and Codex
Hi I built Fredrin to speed up my vibe coding. On any given day, I was juggling between the dozens of cmux tabs w/ claude code, Linear in the other, Github in another, and it always felt like I'm not moving as fast as I should.

Not only that, I needed a better way to create and manage a workflow pipeline of what a task goes through, be it to test, take screenshots, or even video walkthroughs, I wanted an easier visual way of managing all of these things.

So I built Fredrin. Give it a try and if you like it, give it an upvote, retweet, and share.

jaequery··on Open source Kanban desktop app that runs parallel agents on every card
i was also building something similar. https://github.com/jaequery/planbooq. i think building your own kanban is the new age vim/emacs, so you can streamline your workflows the way you want them to be.
jaequery··on Show HN: boringBar – a taskbar-style dock replacement for macOS
I am all for supporting local devs/vibe-coders.
jaequery··on Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
what? no, i love projects like these. but re-reading my comment, it does sound a little messed =p. what i meant was it gave me old HN vibes, back when weird, fun projects popped off instead of everything being AI-wrapped.
jaequery··on Show HN: Twitch Roulette – Find live streamers who need views the most
i am actually even more impressed that you got this to front page
jaequery··on Show HN: A native macOS client for Hacker News, built with SwiftUI
as a stand alone app, i thought there would be at least some kind of an improvement in UI but its like a step back.
jaequery··on IRCd service (2024)
i think this is not an easy problem to solve. but this has been a big enough of an itch for me and i've got some time on my hands these days so i'm building www.ever.chat for anyone interested to take a look.

if anyone wanna chat, stop by and/or hit me up on X!

jaequery··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
this month, i've been building https://tierbudddy.com and https://passportphotos.co
jaequery··on Why our website looks like an operating system
i hope this doesn't become a trend.
jaequery··on Nano Banana image examples
wow. RIP midjourney.
jaequery··on TierBuddy – Create Tier Lists Easily (for content creators in mind)
I built TierBuddy because I was frustrated with how clunky TierMaker felt, especially when working with lots of items.

No more endless dragging and scrolling, the UX is simplified so even non-techies can use it.

You can search and add images directly inside the app, instead of downloading/uploading one by one.

Designed with streamers and content creators in mind: making a tier list on stream is fast and seamless.

It’s free, and we’re working on features to better support the creator economy (collaboration, monetization, etc.).

Would love feedback from the HN community on the UX and what features you’d want to see next.

this is the future ^^^
jaequery··on Commercial tea bags release microplastics, entering human cells
damn, i've been drinking bagged green tea 3x a day ...
jaequery··on Rsbuild – A Better Vite?
I can't wait for Deno to get rid of all these bundlers
jaequery··on Show HN: 3 years and 1M users later, I just open-sourced my "Internet OS"
jQuery? :D

it's true, coding was easy with jQuery ...

jaequery··on Server-side rendering is a better choice for many applications (2020)
I think the trend these days is we are now going back to combining backend and frontend again. I'm looking at you Next.js.
jaequery··on Show HN: Retake – Open-Source Hybrid Search for Postgres
Can’t you just use OpenSearch? What is the point of going through Postgres when you already have OpenSearch?
jaequery··on Show HN: Jema – open-source Jasper alternative
At a quick glance, I’m not quite sure what this does. What does Jema do that chatgpt cant ? They look one and the same to me. Perhaps if you can add a differentiating factor in the site would be great.
jaequery··on Show HN: DankGPT – Chat with Your Documents
do you have any plans to open source this?
jaequery··on Meta Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results [pdf]
do you trust the numbers are correct?
jaequery··on Show HN: Primo – a visual CMS with Svelte blocks, a code editor, and SSG
It's almost unbelievable that more than a decade has passed since I created Stiqr, a site creator back in 2010. Although the site is no longer active, you can catch a glimpse of its remnants in a YouTube video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-ff53t8TuU&t=224s

Responsive designs got hot during that time (2010) and it made me shut down the project. But I still believe this is the way to go to build websites in the near future.

jaequery··on Show HN: Peeng – like Pingdom, but the other way around and simpler
I been looking for a reverse of pingdom and this post has caught my eye but not sure if it does what I need.

I'm looking specifically for a ping/heartbeat service to observe our long-running process scripts, where I will make an HTTP request to it every x interval so I know that the background script is still alive.

Does anyone know of which?

jaequery··on Binance sees $2B in outflows as troubles compound
If Binance (hypothetically) does have 100% of the customer reserves, what difference does it make if they all withdraw? Doesn’t Binance make money off of trades / transactions rather than using the customer funds like FTX?
jaequery··on Docker
The Docker management team needs visionaries. Someone who actually understands what Docker can truly be. Right now they are just trying to milk the cow before it can even produce milk.
jaequery··on Launch HN: Electric Air (YC W23) – Heat pump sold directly to homeowners
Does this do air conditioning too or just heating ?

And would this be allowed for condominiums? HOA recently rejected our attempt to go all electric because the equipment wouldn’t fit.

jaequery··on Show HN: AskHN
Seeing a ton of projects utilizing chatgpt nowadays. Are the project owners basically paying the API costs out of pocket ? Think it would add up pretty quick especially if front page on HN.
