- Show HN: Y – A malleable coding-agent desktop app built with Electron
A coding-agent desktop app named Y, built with Electron, was showcased on Hacker News with 10 points and 7 comments.
- Show HN: Textile – A desktop app for weaving together bits of text
Textile is a macOS desktop app that combines text from computer commands, clipboard content, and user-provided strings to dynamically build and modify strings. It was created to automate assembling dynamic URLs and store static text like fractions, using Electron for desktop development. The app is open-source, free, and currently only available for macOS.
- Launch HN: Superset (YC P26) – IDE for the agents era
Superset is an open-source agentic IDE from YC P26 that allows developers to run multiple coding agents in parallel across different git worktrees and remote machines. The platform evolved from a git worktree manager into a full IDE that handles state management, task tracking, and PR workflows for agents. The team is expanding functionality with Remote Workspaces, CLI improvements, and mobile support.
- Watch Rocket Lab launch private Japanese Earth-observing satellite early on May 22
Rocket Lab is scheduled to launch a private Japanese Earth-observing satellite on May 22 using its Electron rocket. The mission, called 'Eight Days A Week,' will carry a Synspective satellite from New Zealand. This launch represents continued commercial space activity for Rocket Lab's small-lift launch vehicle.
- Nanoscale ‘conveyor belt’ teleports quantum state of electron
Researchers have achieved quantum state teleportation using mobile quantum bits, which can be shuttled to where they are needed in a circuit. This process has been made possible through a nanoscale 'conveyor belt' that teleports the quantum state of an electron. The breakthrough was published online in Nature.
- ⚡ Zap Browser — a browser that connects directly to your LND/CLN node via NWC
Zap Browser is an open-source browser that connects directly to a user's LND/CLN node via NWC, allowing for payment of Lightning invoices without switching apps or installing extensions. The browser includes a native NWC wallet and is compatible with various services. It is currently in early beta and seeking feedback from node runners.
- Scientists catch antimatter “atom” acting like a wave for the first time
Scientists observed wave-like interference in positronium, an exotic atom composed of an electron and a positron, marking the first time antimatter has exhibited such quantum behavior. This discovery reinforces quantum mechanics principles and paves the way for experiments testing gravity's effect on antimatter.
