Ano

Hi HN! I'm building Ano because I was tired of Slack's bloat and sluggishness, and never got any value out of their agent implementation. Ano is built local-first for speed (using Rocicorp Zero), focused on communication, and lets you use your own code agent as an assistant (Claude in my case, but it works with Codex too). I use the code agent to summarize anything unread (linking back to what matters), respond with context, and share data to and from connected tools (GitHub, Posthog, Attio, etc). Using your code agent for this might sound counter-intuitive, but to me it's the most powerful agent I use. It already has connections to my tools, and now it has access to Ano for communication too. The agent lives in an in-app shell, and Ano also has a CLI, so you can read and message into the chat from whatever terminal you're already using. Basically: Slack, minus the noise, with your code agent doing the work. Early days, but you can download the app and try it (macOS and iOS for now, more to come!). Would love your feedback. It's free, but you bring your own code agent account.

Textile

Hi all, I'm excited to show off Textile, a desktop app I recently built. Textile can combine bits of text using various inputs, such as commands on your computer, the contents of your clipboard, and hard-coded strings that you provide. It lets you carefully build up and modify a dynamic string, step by step, until it's exactly how you need it. The saved steps can then be executed on demand, with the click of a button or using a keyboard shortcut. I built Textile because I was often constructing complicated, dynamic URLs from various sources that all existed on my computer. I got tired of manually switching between different apps, copying and pasting various chunks of text, and assembling them all together somewhere. I've also found Textile to be quite useful as a kind of repository for obscure bits of static text, such as ½ and other fraction characters, when I can't be bothered to remember their built-in keyboard combinations. I also built Textile because I wanted to learn Electron, although I expect there will be some gnashing of teeth about this here. :) I think desktop development is quite interesting, in part because it doesn't require me, the developer, to pay for an API server and database in the cloud. The app itself is both the UI and the "server," and the local drive is effectively the "database." I knows this trades away syncing with the cloud but, on the other hand, there's something nice about knowing that your files are on your drive and not on somebody else's server. I realize that something like Textile may already exist, and may have much more functionality but, again, I wanted to learn. I must say that multi-sequence keyboard shortcuts are hard, and there are cases that don't work right in Textile. I feel vulnerable admitting that my approach has much room for improvement! For what it's worth, I did not use an LLM to write any code for Textile (although I did ask many questions of an LLM, as an alternative to Googling). Textile is open source, free to use, and does not require sign up, email, phone, or other such barriers. Try it and let me know what you think! (Note: I don't have access to hardware running Windows or Linux, so Textile is only available for macOS at the moment.)
