Show HN: Give your AI agents access to WhatsApp

Hi, I built Chat-Man because I wanted a cheap way to give my agents access to WhatsApp without integrating a WhatsApp library separately in every project. You get WhatsApp MCP server, so you can connect WhatsApp to an agent and programmatically read, search, extract and send messages - but also have a web UI for non-techies. You can also receive webhooks for incoming messages for starred conversations. What you can do with the MCP? -Read WhatsApp messages and turn them into CRM records -Summari...

A run history cannot show you a run it never created

There is a failure mode in every event-driven system that its own logs are structurally incapable of reporting. Not "hard to find". Incapable. The system accepts a unit of work, answers success, and then the work does not happen. Nothing errors. No run is marked failed. No alert fires. The run history is not lying to you, it is telling the truth about a different layer: the message arrived and the server answered. Whether the operation actually occurred is a separate question that nothing in ...

I Stopped Being My AI Agents' Copy-Paste Middleman

Last week I was shopping for a long coat on H&M's site. I couldn't decide on the size, so I ended up asking Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT separately - then manually copy-pasting each one's answer into the others so they could weigh in on each other's reasoning before landing on a consensus. That's exactly the kind of busywork Plasma AI's new tool, Radio, is designed to remove. You create a "channel" at radio.plasma.ai, hand the link to each agent, and they join and talk directly to each oth...

How long does a Redis Sentinel failover actually take? I measured it

I killed an in-memory database primary on purpose — fifteen times, across three down-after-milliseconds settings and three engines (Redis 8, Valkey 8, Dragonfly) — and timed how long writes actually fail before a replica takes over. Short answer: **your failover window is roughly down-after plus about two seconds of election and promotion — and it's the same no matter which engine is dying. * Here's the runnable lab, the numbers, and the traps that bite in production.* The ans...

Character limits across social APIs: .length lies, and it lies both ways

"👨‍👩‍👧‍👦".length is 11. That emoji is one character on screen, seven Unicode code points, and 25 bytes on the wire. Which of those numbers a social network measures your post against depends on the network — and if you pick the wrong one, you either reject posts that would publish fine or accept posts the API will refuse hours later, when the thing is already scheduled. This is what we learned building a publishing API against thirteen networks, with the numbers taken from the real APIs rat...

MiCA Regulation Deadline Passed: What Unlicensed Exchanges Must Fix

The MiCA CASP authorization deadline passed on July 1, 2026, and most European crypto exchanges are still unlicensed. This is a triage guide for firms mid-application or still exposed: what ESMA's wind-down statement actually requires this week, and why the AML and travel-rule infrastructure exchanges are racing to build now will need to be rebuilt again the moment inter-CASP data exchange kicks in, unless it's built on reusable credentials from the start. If you're reading this in mid-Sept...

Jigu — a world map that shows you exactly how much your map projection is lying

Every world map lies about area. The usual example is Greenland looking roughly the same size as Africa on a Mercator map, when Africa is actually 14 times larger . Mercator preserves angles (useful for navigation) at the cost of inflating area as you move away from the equator — and most of us have internalized that inflated version of the world without ever seeing the correction. Jigu is a small interactive map built to make that distortion visible, draggable, and measurable, rather th...

How LDAP and Active Directory Work in Self-Hosted Collaboration Platforms?

LDAP and Active Directory integrations let self-hosted collaboration platforms use an organization's existing identity directory instead of maintaining a separate set of employee accounts. Users can sign in with corporate credentials, administrators can control access centrally, and profile or group information can be synchronized from the directory into messaging, video conferencing, file collaboration, and project systems. For IT teams, the main benefit is identity lifecycle control. When a...
