We built an AI Agent to reproduce bugs
At Metabase, we built an AI agent called Repro-Bot that reads our GitHub issues and attempts to reproduce reported bugs automatically. It started as a hackathon project and is now part of our daily workflow, so we wrote about it and open-sourced the code as an example for others. How have similar tools been working for you? What has worked well and what has not?

ZenStack
Hi HN, I'm Jiasheng, co-creator of ZenStack. Access control usually ends up scattered across app code instead of living with the data model — and that's riskier when the code is written by an agent, since it's easy to ship a query with a missing or incomplete authorization check. ZenStack enforces policy (RBAC/ABAC/relation-based) directly at the ORM layer, on top of Kysely, so every query gets checked the same way regardless of who wrote it and who is calling it. Postgres RLS is an option too, but it's hard to maintain and scale, and it's Postgres-only — ZenStack's approach is database-agnostic. One of our users, MermaidChart, put it well after launching their team feature on ZenStack: "much cleaner and easier to maintain than writing RLS policies or application-level checks that will surely leak after some time." Happy to answer anything.

A few years ago I made a pen plotter attachment for Prusa MK4 (https://www.printables.com/model/827264-pen-plotter-attachme...) and at the time I didn't have a good way to turn artwork into G-code for it, and I put the project on ice for a while. I recently wanted to dabble in line art again and made a small browser app to make it easier. As agentic AI tools of 2026 are quite addictive, it rather quickly grew into something quite a bit more - an integrated browser CAD/CAM for pen plotters that covers everything from importing existing artwork, creating artwork from scratch, preparing for plotting and hardware integration. It includes some off-beat features like a Logo interpreter for turtle art and Graves RNN for handwriting synthesis and in addition to 3D printer pretending to be pen plotters it now also supports actual pen plotters based on EBB (AxiDraw) and GRBL firmwares through Web Serial. If you own an AxiDraw or a GRBL plotter, I'd very much appreciate it you gave it a try and give feedback. As I don't own those, I did all the testing with a hardware mock on STM32, so I am not sure how well it works attached to an actual plotter.

Ant
Hello HN! I'm the author of Ant, a JavaScript ecosystem built around a runtime with its own JavaScript engine. Ant also includes a package manager, the ants.land package registry, a platform for deploying and hosting applications, and Ant Desktop for building native desktop apps with web technologies, similar to Electron. The goal is for these pieces to work as one coherent platform while remaining compatible with the wider JavaScript ecosystem. It's still early, and I'd appreciate any feedback on the overall direction or what you'd like to see from an e2e alternative to the existing JavaScript stacks. P.S. I’ve shared Ant here before as a runtime; since then, it has grown into the broader ecosystem you see today.
