iosifnicolae2··on Ask HN: Is something wrong with Claude today?
in my case, it keeps stopping and doesn't follow the entire implementation plan
iosifnicolae2··on OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra
I hope Anthropic will reset my Claude usage as i'm already at 75% weekly usage :)
iosifnicolae2··on Ask HN: Is there a "knowledge base" of expert insights for Claude?
I'm thinking it would be really cool to have something like Wikipedia, but with expert knowledge structured as a graph. If you have any ideas or know if something like this already exists, please let us know ;)

looking forward to letting the Bible speak to more and more people every day

If you'd like to find more boards where you can flash your firmware, you can check out: https://openhardware.directory/devices/search/home-assistant...

Here you can find some Meshtatic devices, some of them which can be paired to your phone using BLE: https://openhardware.directory/devices/search/meshtastic-com...
iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
we were scraping the prices using claude code and pushed them with an mcp to the directory
iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
yup, we have to work on improving the search, this is just the MVP :)
iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
Yes, we need to better explain our name. I was creating this website for myself because I'm a developer and I want to change the firmware on existing boards, as I don't have that much experience with electronic circuits and so on.
iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
by open, we mean that you can flash your own firmware. - but yes, we will need to check manualy each device/board or improve the Claude Opus prompt to make sure that it's doing a very good research when extracting these devices
iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
we are scraping the products using Claude Opus and we also saw some problems.. we will have to review everythign manually and improve (not an easy job.. but if it's useufl for people, we will do it -- i did not expected so much demand for it)
iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
yeah, it's true, but the idea was to also have some useful peripherals indexed, so when users are searching for a use case, they'd also have these plug-and-play peripherals in the search results.

but i'm open to feedback so we can make a better experience for all of you ;)

iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
yup, i totally agree. i was focusing on the functionalities first, later we can do a redesign to not feel like ai slop
iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
yup :) thx for the feedback
iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
- by default, we are displaying all the devices so you can just scroll through the list - if you want to get all the devices for a specific use-case, you can setup filters

- no, the search list is not secret.. you can even convert any page to markdown https://openhardware.directory/devices/md - you just have to add /md to any page

- also, you can browse it with llms.txt (https://openhardware.directory/llms.txt)

I'm open to new ideas on how to improve the search experience

iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
Yup, it will take a bit of time until we index as many devices as possible. Also, we need to invest a bit more to make the AI search faster and much better. (If anyone has any ideas, we're open to feedback.)

Also, I'm curious — how do you think we can make the device pages even better? My personal problem is that I want to find devices for a specific use case, and the issue is that it's pretty hard to extract real-life use cases for all the scraped devices. We will need a way to extract these insights from the internet.

iosifnicolae2··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
now, we've indexed 463 :) but we will index more and more boards and make the platform as good as we can
iosifnicolae2··on What would a "permissions-first ORM" look like? Looking for spec feedback
There are a few differences between ZenStack and the proposed specs — see this comparison: https://claude-zenstack-comparison-page-8lwqi-superapp-docs....
iosifnicolae2··on What would a "permissions-first ORM" look like? Looking for spec feedback
The idea behind this spec is to give users full access to their own data. For example, ORM-backed data could be consumed by an MCP server, an autonomous agent, or a vibe-coded app. The goal is to make the data layer flexible and interoperable so that any client can build on top of it. Looking ahead, I believe the best product managers will be the end users themselves. They'll want to vibe-code their own frontends and connect them to a secure backend.

That raises a key question: how do we design a backend that's secure, safe, and robust enough to support a wide range of use cases while still being extensible enough for user-driven customization?

iosifnicolae2··on Ask HN: Claude Code with Multiple Models?
Nice. I will give it a try. thx

iosifnicolae2··on Ask HN: Missing Google Calendar events due to unnoticed notifications?
i'm planning on building something to fix this problem for myself. if you would like to see it or you have feedback, please send me an email at iosif@bringes.io

iosifnicolae2··on What is the equivalent of Django in Next.js?
it's pretty hard to build a CRUD application (handle authentication, then build an API, then implement authorization, then implement the UI to allow the user to edit only what he/she has access, etc )

In Django it's pretty simple, you define a model, write a bit of logic to give permissions to users to edit it and that's it. (it would have been awesome if this Django concept can be used for building frontend apps easier).

iosifnicolae2··on It would be interesting to have ChatGPT move the cursor on your computer?
well, if you have to do a boring task, you can let ChatGPT do it for you, like: highlight with red all the rows from this Excel column which respect criteria X(if it's a country/if it's an English word/bla bla).
iosifnicolae2··on Ask HN: How Do You Cope (As a Programmer) with Mental Fatigue?
but the root cause of the problem wasn't solved (next day you will most likely have the same problem), isn't it?
