pdyc··on Ask HN: Are you using an agent orchestrator to write code?
i tried but it didn't worked for me. Now i use agents as editors for fully formed solution so slightly better editor than typing.
pdyc··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
I’m working on EasyAnalytica (https://easyanalytica.com ). It lets you create dashboards from APIs or URLs using data in JSON or CSV format, as well as Google Sheets.

It generates dashboards automatically, you just point it to your data. It also has a visual editor to adjust layouts, charts, and other dashboard elements.

yes

tldraw can afford to use the latest models without worrying about AI costs, but many open source projects can’t. In those projects, maintainers often know the code best, just like tldraw, and would benefit more from AI credits than from external contributions. I hope something like that gets implemented.
pdyc··on The browser is the sandbox
yes but i want to capture it without injecting my own js. hotjar etc. need to inject their own js and than they can add mutation observer. I want it for cross-origin frames but after taking users permission similar to screen recording, i guess thats not possible locally.
pdyc··on The browser is the sandbox
that interesting insight, i just added file system support to my internal tool, i thought this was not possible in firefox but the workaround you mentioned works. thanks

by any chance anyone knows if users clicks can be captured for a website/tab/iframe for screen recording. i know i can record screen but i am wondering if this metadata can be collected.

pdyc··on Turso is an in-process SQL database, compatible with SQLite
what is wasm size? how difficult is it to use in webapp? and does it allows udf's? in sqlite its quite easy to create udf.
pdyc··on Show HN: Sweep, Open-weights 1.5B model for next-edit autocomplete
I dont want to hand edit i want the output of better ai model with edit instructions like //update here <code> // new code <code> insert here etc. and local model read the files and apply the updates. I tried generating patch format but both bigger models fail to generate it accurately and smaller models have hard time in using them. Is there some way to do this with this kind of model? or its for completions while editing only?

do you know a good way to give context files in emacs? currently i have to either do ctrl-x+h to select file content of individual files to give to ai or copy files themselves from ai's chat interface. I would much prefer selecting all files at once and get their content copied to clipboard.
pdyc··on GenAI, the snake eating its own tail
Strange nobody provided counterpoint. I would argue that questions meant for stackoverflow have shifted to genai tools and they have even richer data, questions, background of user and accepted answer so they dont need so data to improve. Side-effect of this is whoever gets most users wins and continues to win leading to monopoly as data is not public
pdyc··on Show HN: ChartGPU – WebGPU-powered charting library (1M points at 60fps)
Wow, this is great. I practically gave up on rendering large data in EasyAnalytica because plotting millions of points becomes a bad experience, especially in dashboards with multiple charts. My current solution is to downsample to give an “overview” and use zoom to allow viewing “detailed” data, but that code is fragile.

One more issue is that some browser and OS combinations do not support WebGPU, so we will still have to rely on existing libraries in addition to this, but it feels promising.

is it mobile app or webapp?

pdyc··on My Snapdragon Dev Kit was healthy and working fine until a Windows update failed
are you able to stop at uefi stage and system is stable in bootloader stage? if yes than it may not be software issue. Others have covered checking ram and ssd. I suspect it could also be thermal or voltage issue.
pdyc··on Tally – A tool to help agents classify your bank transactions
whats up with negativity? its a nice tool, code is opensourced here https://github.com/davidfowl/tally and while the argument of deterministic solution is valid, ai is more suitable for this task as task itself is ill defined and deterministic solution wont be able to cover all cases.
pdyc··on iOS allows alternative browser engines in Japan
problem is apple also handicaps safari so web apps cannot compete with its apps ecosystem like deleting storage if you dont use it for a week or so in the name of security. It makes sense if there is storage pressure but if app is used rarely than you cannot have first class local experience you are forced to rely on server.
pdyc··on Tell HN: Happy New Year
Happy New Year, everyone. To the entrepreneurs, may you get sticky customers with negative churn, and may they subscribe to your highest $$ plan.
pdyc··on The 70% AI productivity myth: why most companies aren't seeing the gains
i think developers "feel" like it because it reduces cognitive overhead but does not necessarily leads to more output in given time. Than there are areas like scaffolding new project, repetitive work which does leads to real gain but that would not lead to dramatic changes in productivity.
pdyc··on Git analytics that works across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
your privacy argument is valid but it is true for all new startups. If your repository on github than you are already giving your data to big corp why do u trust them? Backup your allegation on vibe code, i don't see any mention of vibe coding on website.

this does not caches the data right? it would always fetch from network? by any chance do you know of solution/extension that caches the data it would make it so much more efficient.
pdyc··on Show HN: Evidex – AI Clinical Search (RAG over PubMed/OpenAlex and SOAP Notes)
I like your approach of "smart routing" but using regex/keywords based approach has a problem that it does not captures semantic similarity of keywords so search with similar intents are missed, how are you handling it? or you dont need to handle it since it is for domain experts and they are likely to search based on keywords(dictionary)?
pdyc··on Show HN: Z80-μLM, a 'Conversational AI' That Fits in 40KB
interesting, i am wondering how far can it go if we remove some of these limitations but try to solve some extremely specific problem like generating regex based on user input? i know small models(270M range) can do that but can it be done in say < 10MB range?
pdyc··on CEOs are hugely expensive. Why not automate them? (2021)
if something goes wrong with that "automation" who takes the responsibility? as a shareholder are you comfortable with it? i am not.
pdyc··on Show HN: Ez FFmpeg – Video editing in plain English
interesting approach, i solved similar problem by creating visual tool to generate ffmpeg commands but its not the same(it cant do conversion etc.)

I like that you took no AI approach, i am looking for something like this i.e. understanding intent and generating command without using AI but so far regex based approaches have proved to be inadequate. I also tried indexing keywords and creating index of keywords with similar meaning that improved the situation a bit but without something heavy like bert its always a subpar experience.

pdyc··on Migrating my web analytics from Matomo to Umami
i dont get backing up analytics data of 10 years, its bit unusual.What is the utility of it other than research? i have also not seen commercial analytics providers, providing data retention beyond 5 years.
pdyc··on Ask HN: Why Do You Blog?
I mostly write to do postmortems of the issues i faced while solving some problem. It helps because i tend to forget how i did something or what was the reasoning behind it.Sometimes i just write stories for the sake of writing they are not very good but they amuse me luckily it has 0 viewership (except me) so i am safe in venting whatever i want.
pdyc··on Ask HN: What skills do you want to develop or improve in 2026?
I want to give away my tools for free and take on more ambitious projects, like building more capable browsers and local LLMs to get rid of corporate chokeholds. But that would probably never come true, because I would be tied up making money just to survive, rather than being able to give things away or take on more ambitious projects.
