Ancestree

Every time I talk to my older family members, especially my grandparents, I find out a new super interesting fact about them. Last week: my Croatian grandfather served in the French marine corps... Not worth mentioning I guess. I realized that these stories are passed down only by re-telling them. Just think about how much you don't know about your family from 2 generations ago. For this reason, I created ancestree.marindedic.com It's a really cool family tree creation app, where each person gets their own book. Inside it, write what they did, what happened to them, what they were like... whatever you want. Little biographies of your loved ones. Apart from exporting normal and detailed versions of your family tree, you can even export someone's chapters as one long biography. Of course, open-sourced, no account, no server. Nothing you draw or write ever leaves your browser.

Keenable

Hey HN! We built https://keenable.ai, a different web search API for AI agents. Keenable searches our own 100B+ page index. We are focused on low cost and latency (p95 <250ms from us-east). We don’t believe in benchmaxxing, so we open-sourced our internal benchmarking suite, NEEDLE (available at https://keenableai.github.io/needle): a live benchmark that compares Keenable with other search APIs on fresh agent-like queries. I spent seven years at Amazon as a scientist working on web grounding for Alexa/AGI, and my co-founder Andrey previously led search at Yandex. We started Keenable because agents search differently from humans, and we wanted to build around those patterns directly. The API is available now and we provide a free allowance of 100,000 requests a month. It also exposes a novel SQL-like interface to the web, which is useful for structured extraction and agent workflows. Happy to answer questions about the index, crawl, ranking, latency, or benchmarking.

Structural code grep across public GitHub repositories

Codemod grep searches public code by syntax and structure, not just text or regex. Use ast-grep patterns to find code by shape across repositories.

Kandelo

Kandelo is an open-source, Wasm-based multi-process kernel that runs POSIX programs in browsers and Node.js. Kandelo is still experimental, but it already runs a substantial range of existing software. Do you have use cases for this? We are trying Kandelo as a new foundation for WordPress Playground which runs server-side WordPress entirely in the browser. Kandelo also looks promising as a sandbox for running agents in the the browser and on the command line. On the side, we've been playing with porting games and desktop environments and even compiling runnable programs within Kandelo. Yet it feels like there are many possibilities we haven't considered. How would you like to use something like this? Demos: Some notes: The demos have been tested in desktop browsers. Unfortunately, YMMV on mobile today. Some of the disk images are large (~50MB) and may take a while to boot initially. Main set, with Shell (bash, vim, nethack, and more), Nginx, PHP, WordPress, and Doom: https://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo/ LÖVE game engine: https://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo-love/ SNKRX running under LÖVE: https://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo-love/?vfs=love-snkrx-abi44... Commander Keen running in DOSBox: https://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo-dos/?demo=keen LXDE desktop PoC: https://kandelo.dev/20260819-demo-lxde/?demo=desktop-lxde Background I wanted an authentic OS-level foundation for running systems software in the browser and started this as a vibe-coded exploration. I figured it would end up being too slow and that we would have to offer many different ways to compromise default POSIX behavior to get anything usable. But after weeks of fighting agents, insisting on genuine POSIX compatibility as the default, I was surprised at how well the system worked without those compromises. Nginx, PHP, Python, Ruby, Redis, and even MariaDB were able to be built using the SDK with minimal hacks. Then we started porting games, having fun, and playing to see how far we could push it. Notes on architecture: There is a central, single-worker kernel, aiming to provide all supportable POSIX syscalls. Each process is a dedicated worker with independent memory. Each process thread is a dedicated worker that shares memory with threads from the same process. Syscalls are done with the process SharedArrayBuffer and the Atomics API. fork() is supported. The system is centered around virtual file system (VFS) images, and the VFS can contain lazy references to programs that may or may not be used. Vim is such a reference in the shell demo.
