Traditional SDK generators rely on static templates that produce rigid, machine-generated code. When the API changes, these generators completely overwrite the SDK, destroying any custom modifications developers have made. The result is brittle code that looks artificia

Hey there HN! We're Antonio and Luca, and we're excited to introduce Smooth, a state-of-the-art browser agent that is 5x faster and 7x cheaper than Browser Use (https://docs.circlemind.co/performance).
We built Smooth because existing browser agents were slow, expensive, and unreliable. Even simple tasks could take minutes and cost dollars in API credits.
We started as users of Browser Use, but the pain was obvious. So we

A while ago I was looking for information on a obscure and short lived British computer. I found an article[1] in the archives of BYTE magazine[2] - and was captivated immediately by the tech adverts of bygone eras. This led to a long side project to be able to see all 100k pages of BYTE in a single searchable place.

Hey HN,
I'm a C++ algorithms engineer, and today I'd like to share my first full-stack web project: PrivyDrop.
This project was born from two ideas:
First, I wanted to solve a daily annoyance of mine: I needed a simple, AirDrop-like way to send text, links, or screenshots between my phone and PC. I tried many tools, but they either required me to sign up, had various limitations, or uploaded my data to their servers, which I was never comfortable with.
Second, this was a personal exp
