Show HN: Memex is a Claude Code alternative built on Rust+Tauri for vibe coding

We don’t like that web-based app builders are opinionated about tech stack and we can’t run them locally. So, we built Memex to be a chat tool + coding agent that supports any tech stack.

What it can do today: Claude Code-like coding. Agentic web search /

Show HN: A Chrome extension that will auto-reject non-essential cookies

A FOSS chrome extension that attempts to remove the annoyance of cookie pop ups and banners.

There are some extensions out there that auto-accept cookies, but I didn't find one that auto rejected cookies without either chaining some extensions together or setting up custom rules in tools like uBlock origin.
