Show HN: Site/app blocker and usage tracker specifically for Linux
Source: Show HN ·
I needed an proper application to block sites and apps on Linux based on a schedule. None of the commercial offerings worked properly for me so I wrote my own. This was also my first experiment with AI assisted coding. It blocks sites and apps on a schedule, and takes away your sudo during the hours you choose so you can’t just turn it off. I added several features like tracking usage, giving recommendations etc. and It's been actually very useful for me hence I decided to open source and productize it. Have a few users so far too. It's been a nice learning experience for me. Not just for the

Show HN: AJX – Find out where AI agents get stuck using your product
Hi HN. I made AJX (Agent Journey Experience). It is a CLI and skill bundle that you run to test what your product feels like to use from the point of view of an agent, and you get back a list of "asks" that would improve your product from an agentic usability perspective: so that agents spend less time, tokens and retries to accomplish tasks with it. How? It works by having an outer loop (AJX harness skill + CLI) that controls an "inner loop": the agent that actually tries out your product. The outer loop investigates the inner loop once it finishes. To try it, copy the prompt from the main pa

Show HN: I asked HN about AI agentic setups, here are 750 of the comments mapped
A few days back I posted here asking about how people were using AI / doing agentic coding (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50366117 ). Needless to say, I was overwhelmed by the response! The one challenge I found, however, was that the comments were almost impossible to parse: some users answered my questions in the format I provided, others answered in any order, but either way it was really hard to get a picture of who was using what from that thread alone. So, I spent last night building an interactive site out of people's answers. I used Claude to pull the tools, models and plan
