Avery29··on Show HN: Mcptoon – Token-efficient MCP CLI client
Making MCP context cost visible before the agent sees it feels like a useful debugging tool, not just an optimization.
Avery29··on Developers are attached to tools because tools encode trust
Trust in tools often comes from predictability and shared context
Avery29··on Agent Skill to Force Docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English
I like this. Agent-facing docs feel more like an interface than prose
Avery29··on Launch HN: Tokenless (YC S26) – Automatic model switching to save money
I’ve found that automatic switching only becomes trustworthy when the system also makes the reason for each switch visible, especially when cost, latency, and output quality are being traded off.
Avery29··on An update on residential proxies and the scraper situation
Google itself is a huge database.Who makes these rules depends on who's leading the market.
Avery29··on Turning a pile of documents into a searchable useable knowledge base
The hardest part of these projects is usually not making documents searchable
Avery29··on Show HN: Fortress – a stealth Chromium so your agents stop getting blocked
For agent/browser automation, getting blocked is only one part of the problem. The other hard part is knowing whether the page you got back is the real page, a degraded version, or some silent challenge page.
Avery29··on Pruning RAG context down to what the answer actually needs
Bad or only loosely related context can make the final answer worse than having less context.
Avery29··on Show HN: Osint tool that finds exposed files on domains
Nice tool. I’d like to understand what kinds of businesses the customers using this website are in.
Avery29··on The Last Museum: a search site for museum art
This is a lovely use case for search.
Avery29··on Xonaly – Canada's Independent Search Engine
Nice project. The little weather info in the footer is a neat touch. Is that pulling live data, or is it just based on a fixed location/demo value?
Avery29··on Previewing GPT‑5.6 Sol: a next-generation model
The speed sounds great,faster models make that gap much more visible..
Avery29··on Show HN: Write SaaS apps where users control where their data is stored
This is especially interesting for API products. The tricky part is not just where user data lives, but where logs, traces, backups, and billing metadata live too.
Avery29··on Cloudflare launched self-managed OAuth for all
OAuth is great when you actually need user delegation. For simple server-to-server API access, scoped keys with rotation, audit logs, and fast revocation are often a much better developer experience.
Avery29··on Ask HN: What are your best Claude hacks?
Real-time web data access capability.
Avery29··on AI coding at home without going broke
We can't determine whether future AI Agents will charge high fees. At present, they are updating at a rapid pace.
Avery29··on Pokémon Go Scans Trained the Navigation Tech for Military Drones
Working in data collection, what stands out isn't the "military" part — it's how routine this kind of repurposing is.
