I don't watch F1, so I built a quiz where the AI isn't allowed to grade me

This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path One: Ship an Agent That Queries Real Content What I Built I'm not an F1 person, but I've wanted to get into it for a while. Pole, DNF, sprint, undercut: I knew the words existed and not much more. So for this challenge I built the thing I actually needed, a quiz that teaches you Formula 1 one race at a time. It's called Pit Wall. You pick a 2026 Grand Prix and a tyre (Soft for one fact from the race, Medium for comparing d...

Building a Browser-Based T-Shirt Designer with HTML5 Canvas

I've been exploring ways to build a browser-based T-shirt design editor using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas. The goal is to let users create their own T-shirt designs by adding text, uploading images, resizing elements, and positioning them on a canvas. I'm also interested in implementing features such as zooming, panning, and measurement rulers to make the design experience more precise. You can see an example of the T-shirt design editor I'm working on here . One of the interesting ...

Build for a Friend: Receipt Lens

Build for a Friend: Receipt Lens Entered in the Best Use of Sentry Agent Tracing category: tooling that shows an agent's work, with traces. The problem A friend of mine runs AI agents to do real work: research, data pulls, summaries. The agents are useful. The problem is what happens after. The agent says "done," hands over an answer, and everything in between is a black box. He asked me the simplest question in the world: what did the agent actually do? I ...

Does Dependency Security Really Need the Cloud?

The question I kept asking myself a simple question: Why does checking a dependency for a known vulnerability need to send anything to the cloud? This isn't an argument against cloud-based security tooling . There are good reasons to use centralized services, especially when you need continuously updated data, organization-wide policies, reporting, or large-scale analysis. I was interested in a narrower engineering problem: What would a dependency vulnerability analyzer look like if...

Why is PageSpeed Insights worse than my local Lighthouse score?

You run Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools on a client URL and see Performance 94. You paste the same URL into PageSpeed Insights and the lab Performance score drops to the sixties. The audits look related. The numbers do not. Neither result is β€œlying.” They ran the same Lighthouse family of audits on different machines, with different throttling behaviour, and often with different cache and extension state. That gap shows up constantly in agency Slack threads and client calls. People then optimis...

Why Post-Fetch Filtering on LinkedIn Guest Pages Drops Your Dataset Yield

The Illusion of Server-Side Filters in Guest Sessions Data engineers integrating the linkedin-jobs-scraper often assume that selecting an input parameter means LinkedIn's database executes that query. It does not. Because this Actor operates without a login, cookies, or an API key, it relies entirely on LinkedIn's public-facing guest search pages. Over the last few years, LinkedIn has systematically stripped filtering capabilities from its guest-facing search endpoints. To compensate, the ...

Show HN: A substantially expanded terminal for AI CLIs – I can't work without it

Since January, I've used AgentTerm as my only terminal for all my projects, including AgentTerm itself. AgentTerm expands each AI CLI session into its own rich visual workspace, keeping the familiar terminal interface and existing CLI functionality. As AI takes on more implementation, I focus more on plans and reviews. When an agent writes a plan, I open it in the terminal window and write down my intent. The agent replies and edits the plan in place. Before every PR at work, I use a curated rev...
