Three Lines to Draw Before You Scrape Instagram

Most write-ups on this subject are about technique. This one is about the three decisions you should make before you write any code, because in my experience every project that went badly went badly for a reason that was decided on day one and not noticed until much later. I have built this kind of collection twice, for competitive analysis and for a partner-vetting workflow. Neither of them needed to touch anything behind a login, and I want to explain why that turned out to be the useful co...

Your AI Agent Scheduler Needs a Clock-Skew Budget, Not Just Cron

A scheduler can be perfectly healthy and still run the wrong job at the wrong time. The failure is usually not the cron expression. It is the boundary between wall-clock time, monotonic elapsed time, leases, retries, and a process that may pause or restart. A reliable agent scheduler needs an explicit clock contract.

Show HN: Control AI Agents on Your Old PC at Home from Any Device Anywhere

I built Relay around a simple idea: many of us have an unused PC server at home, or a VPS dedicated to AI-assisted coding, but the coding agents running there are still tied to that machineโ€™s terminal, I just don't want to ssh/rdp into it every single time. Relay brings Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Hermes into one interface that you can access from your phone, browser, or another computer. Sessions stay alive, so you can start work on one device and continue from another. You can upload/dow...

How to Build More Accessible Websites with WCAG 2.2

A website can look polished, work perfectly with a mouse, and still be difficult for some people to use. A form might use colour as the only indication that something went wrong. A sticky header might

Why I Ignored the Winning Option

Shipaton build: Adversaryโ€™s themed design won a poll, but written feedback favored clarity. Hereโ€™s why its creator chose a simpler identity for the memory game.
