Show HN: EarthData – find places to visit or live that match what you care about

Hi HN,A few years ago, I was trying to find the place on Earth that had the optimal combination of attributes to vacation to or live. I couldn't find anything that wasn't a marketing funnel or was limited in geography. So I built EarthData essentially for myself, but others might find it useful.There are two modes: "visit" for a trip (travel month, length of stay, things to do) and "live" for relocation or retirement (housing, healthcare, day-to-day fit).The way it operates is to allow the user to sculpt the attributes they care about in where they visit on vacation or live. Rate and rank what matters to you. And it will returns 10 initial places, down to specific towns, with a written explanation of why each one fits. From there, the user can expand on places that look interesting, and ultimately pull a TRIP KIT with full itinerary, web links to venues, packing list and other information.A few design choices:- It's anonymous. No account, no email required, and preferences live in your browser's local storage. Nothing is tied to a named profile, your preferences are sent to xAI's API to generate matches, but without any PII.- No ads and no advertising cookies.- I went with a mid-century travel graphic design. To me, it evokes nostalgia and romance for international travel.- It supports 10 different languages.- The initial top 10 Matching is free. The only paid part is an optional $3.75 trip kit for a single place (itinerary, 10 matched activities, checklist, PDF). It covers the Google Places API costs for venues and links, which seem oddly 'expensive'.- Matching uses an LLM (currently xAI's Grok) to generate and reason about candidates, which get shaped into place cards, maps, short videos and activities.One area I struggled with was how to group and refine the attribute selections. Higher slider levels reveal finer-grained choices and give that topic more weight. So if it matters a lot, you can really dial in what you're looking for. If it doesn't matter to you, you can skip entirely. If you see any that seem out of line, please point it out. It was a lot of work to make sense with the slider settings, and I'm not convinced it's dialed in.Finally, if you're looking for something that doesn't have a selection, you can free-form a must-have before submitting.Feedback welcome!

Show HN: I created a library for correctly using SQLite in Go programs

Using SQLite in Go is deceptively easy. If you just import the popular github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 as the database/sql driver implementation and start making queries, things will work great until you start hitting SQLITE_BUSY errors as traffic increases.Then you go down the same path of many gophers before you, finding GitHub and forum posts providing conflicting information on best practices for pragma values and connection handling.So I created https://github.com/cattlecloud/litesqlWhich provides a nice abstraction, making it easy to accidentally do the right things when using SQLite in your Go program. In particular it pools connections for read transactions and isolates a dedicated write connection for writes. It also sets pragma values to much more reasonable defaults, like isolation levels, foreign keys, cache sizes, etc. On top it provides a nice abstraction for creating periodic snapshots with retention policies. There is also litesqltest for one-line test database creation in unit tests.Hopefully you or your agents might find it useful.

Show HN: Beam – Pairing machines with passkeys; replace SSH&VPN's with Tailcat

A concept I wanted to share that is built on TailScale's Tailcat https://tailscale.com/tailcatThe inspiration is that I was thinking of ways to allow my users to be able to pool their machines easily without needing to set up SSH or a VPN.How can you lower the barrier to entry without compromising on security.The end result is you get a remote shell connection and a Tailcat tunnel that only requires your user to know how to use passkeys to verify their machines.Any machine can join the pool without having connected to the others at any point before which is also a strength.The primary weakness is that even though all the passkey assertion and encryption/decryption happens on the browser side you are still trusting a Cloudflare worker to store it. So I think this is more of a solution for things like Herdr, T3 code, etc etc where you want to connect machines in a pool. Each machine also has a small SQLite mail inbox for those purposes, you can queue messages that your machine will receive next time it is reachable.For a more in depth explanation I created this artifact with Fable 5.2 and Astra 6 to clean up the prose:https://claude.ai/artifact/NVHSV1FNmpPaPsqRakskVW Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50453055 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Show HN: Editmamei – Giving AI agents access to desktop Photoshop and GIMP

Hi HN!I built Editmamei, a local MCP server for Adobe Photoshop and GIMP.I built it because I wanted to connect Claude to a powerful photo editor, since Claude can't generate images itself. Apparently I wasn't the only one, Adobe previewed their own local Photoshop MCP yesterday, announcing at Adobe MAX a private beta in early 2027.Editmamei brings the AI agent of your choice into Photoshop and lets it do as much or as little of the editing as you want. It has tools to measure and inspect, apply filters, transform the image, insert other images and create objects, and it can use some of Photoshop's more advanced features like Select Subject and Sky Replacement.The agent "sees" each edit with downscaled previews, layer trees, histogram calculations and other tools, so someone who has never used Photoshop can ask for a recommended edit, and a professional can hand Editmamei the specific directions for tedious actions and batch automation, keeping the finishing and favorite parts for themselves. Everything is done layer by layer in a fully editable PSD, just as a normal Photoshop user would work.Photoshop has more features overall, but GIMP is just as capable for normal photo processing and design. The main difference is the Adobe-specific tools; GIMP doesn't have heal/clone or AI subject and sky selection. Photoshop runs on Windows and Mac; GIMP runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.Source available: https://github.com/editmamei/editmameiI'd love feedback, and suggestions for other editors this could support!

Show HN: Buy the whole stock market in one cheap fund and get on with your life

I have spent countless years learning and reading about personal finance. This website felt like a good way to redirect people to one place for the repeated questions like "But tech stocks", "Waiting for a crash", "What about crypto, real estate, or gold?", etc.Would appreciate some thoughts and feedback.

Show HN: Black Ops II statically recompiled to native ARM64 macOS

I grew up with Black Ops 2 and wanted to see if I could make it work on my 2020 MacBook Pro. So I used Claude Opus 5.5 to create a tool that converts your copy of the game (from Steam) to a native ARM64 Mac app, with almost 60fps in all areas. The whole game is statically recompilated ahead-of-time (AOT) and does not use any emulator whatsoever, be it Wine, Crossover or Rosetta. The best thing is the performance, although some heat issues are still to fix. You get to play the whole Campaign, local Multiplayer (with bots) and local Zombies (all DLCs maps; you need to have them in your Steam library obviously) at about 60fps. Split-screen was not in the PC version, but I've been working on it lately; it's coming soon! LAN mode is on the roadmap for later too :) Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50449891 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Show HN: CodeLens AI-Augmented Code Review Tool

As AI writes more code, the bottleneck has become human-driven code reviews. Code Lens serves to aid that task by augmenting the review outside of line-level AI feedback. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks.Try it on a public PR: npx @blong8334/codelens pr https://github.com/expressjs/express/pull/7574 Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50446651 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
