Hi HN,

I created a small app that acts as an AI tool organizer across a few popular providers: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and OpenCode. It has support for: - MCP Servers - Skills - Rules - Hooks - Subagents - API Credentials

All of the data used and stored by the app is stored on your $HOME directory under ~/.ai_tools_manager. I'm new to open source so I'm not sure if I "did" it correctly but open to feedback!

Reminds me of WarpStream: https://www.warpstream.com

Similar idea but you have the power of S3 scale (if you really need it). For context, I do not work at WS. My company switched to it recently and we've seen great improvements over traditional Kafka.

Can't say it's a perfect solution but one way I've tried to prevent this is by wrapping secrets in a class (Java backend) where we override the toString() method to just print "***".

I hear this on almost every bad post about Meta. No they are not cooked. They still generate tons of profit and their user base is one of the biggest in the world. They're not going anywhere any time soon.

I got around this by just editing the HTML. Worked like a charm

I think you can already do some of this in iOS with the Shortcuts app

I'm confused as to why this needs to be standardized? OTel makes sense because multiple applications can consume metrics and logs. Feature flags are typically contained within a company and they typically don't need to be transferred across to other places.

I would also take a look at exa: https://the.exa.website/

It's been my ls replacement for a while now and it's very customizable!

The claim I've heard is that you're essentially feeding your own knowledge for free into a proprietary system that can be used to generate cash for whatever corporation owns that system (i.e. ChatGPT from OpenAI). I think it's pointless to redact content for this purpose as well but clearly some people have strong takes against AI training.

> If Meta starts being all open and generous about their core assets

I think they are pretty open about it?

- https://www.meta.ai/ requires no log in (for now at least)

- PyTorch is open source

- Various open models like LLama, Detectron, ELF, etc

- Various public datasets like FACET, MMCSG, etc

- A lot of research papers describing their findings

In the example they have

> const urlstring = "this is not a URL";

> const not_a_url = URL.canParse(urlstring) && new URL(urlstring);

Why would you need the latter part of the condition? Couldn't it just be this?

> const isValidURL = URL.canParse(urlstring);
