[Other] Show HN: A searchable archive of declassified UAP/UFO files, news, and analysis Hey HN! Y’all are great. It is so fun to build things these days.<p>I wanna show off this archive that I conjured to run at home for consuming the recently releases of UFO files from the US government. This started as a Mac Mini-hosted project that I executed with my OpenClaw over Discord. After showing this to a few friends, I decided to get it online and find a catchy domain. Cloudflare was the perfect hosting choice.<p>There’s a lot of bonkers things out there going on, so I added human curated “Signals” - news, analysis and discussion of UFO and adjacent news. The backlog of signals was informed by the links shared between myself and my first tech boss. We have both seen things that these files help confirm.<p>As part of a reason to bring people back, I asked my assistant to do some digging into the data and come up with “Insights”, a dedicated section on the site that includes the responsible LLM in the byline. There a media pipeline for these insights using Remotion to generate social-media ready videos that I can upload to TT, IG, and YouTube.<p>I built this for fun. Mostly with Ollama-powered GLM 5.1. Runs on Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2. Keyboard navigation within the doc viewer is blazing fast. OpenClaw is my CMS.<p>Eventually, I hope to find some passive revenue through ethical ads if I get enough traffic. I think there is an audience for this. Right now, this is helpful with sharing the WTFs (and psyops) of the world with friends.<p>Hit me up with questions!<p>Stay rad, HN!

[Other] Show HN: Wikigraph – an interactive visualization of all of English Wikipedia Hi! This is a visualization I&#x27;ve always wanted but never quite found. It&#x27;s a navigable map of the Wikipedia link graph structure, with search and shortest-path finding.<p>Offline, I parsed the May 2026 English Wikipedia full-text dump into a directed graph, used cuGraph on a GPU to run PageRank, Leiden clustering, and ForceAtlas2 for the layout. I did some post processing to get rid of lingering overlapping nodes and rendered a tiled map of raster base images (using Skia) and JSON metadata. Tiles are bundled into PMTiles. The frontend is Deck.gl.<p>Everything is hosted on Cloudflare. Search and shortest-path are served by a Rust backend in CF Containers which uses Tantivy and bidirectional BFS.<p>Happy to answer any questions!

[Other] Show HN: Build Your Own AI Agent CLI in 150 Lines I can&#x27;t tell if HN is the right kind of place for this stuff anymore since people are so advanced in their use but I thought it was interesting to leverage my existing Go microservices framework and turn it into the core of what would provide tools for an agent cli or whatever beyond that. Extensibility is key. Thought I&#x27;d share and get a conversation going.

[Testing] Show HN: NUA an agent that tests for product correctness We’ve been using background Claude loops a lot recently, and we would wake up to PRs that didn’t solve the problem we wanted, made on assumptions that were wrong. Furthermore, the tests that the agents wrote were usually tautological, and didn’t test for intent. We wanted an agent that took all the context a company has, and writes tests that check for product correctness as well.<p>For example, we work in reg tech, so bugs aren’t always technical. What we often see is things like insider trading alerts that should’ve fired that didn’t. We wanted an agent that turns laws and regulations into tests.<p>For now, users can upload PDF, MD, TXT, and DOCX files, but we’re planning integrations like Slack, Notion, Linear, and Zoom in the future.<p>We’re early on, so we would love to know what you all think!

[Package Manager] Show HN: DepsGuard – one command to harden NPM/pnpm/yarn/bun/uv configs I kept seeing every npm&#x2F;pnpm&#x2F;yarn&#x2F;bun&#x2F;uv supply chain post end with the same advice (set a minimum release age, turn off install scripts), and while I know cooldowns are &quot;controversial&quot;, they do work. But even if you convince people that they should set cooldowns, it seems many don&#x27;t end up following through, not sure why, maybe because it means hand-editing five config files in five formats with five different time units, or perhaps the &quot;it won&#x27;t happen to me&quot; syndrome (or &quot;I&#x27;ll do it later, it seems complicated&quot; where it&#x27;s actually very simple). So I created a tool that checks what you have set and fixes it for you. I looked for an existing one first and couldn&#x27;t find it. It started as a small weekend project and turned into a small research project on the nuances of cooldowns across package managers. Not a proof of P vs NP, but a small convenience that can save you and your loved ones from the next supply chain attack. I&#x27;ve raised this in a couple of HN threads since (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=47878158">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=47878158</a> and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=48156360">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=48156360</a>) but never actually did a Show HN for the tool itself.<p>If you know how to edit your ~&#x2F;.npmrc, which settings apply to npm vs pnpm, and which one wants minutes vs days vs seconds, you probably don&#x27;t need this. But if you vibe code and just want a one click fix (or you have a PhD in CS from Stanford, ex-FAANG, started 3 YC companies, now work at Anthropic, and still just want a one click fix), read on.<p>DepsGuard is a single Rust binary, no runtime deps, MIT. Run depsguard and it scans your user-level and repo-level configs, shows a table of what is and isn&#x27;t set, you pick what to change, hit d for the diff, and apply. It writes a timestamped backup first and depsguard restore rolls it back. depsguard scan is read-only if you just want the report.<p>The settings are the simple ones that work: min-release-age &#x2F; minimumReleaseAge (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, and uv all name it differently and use days vs minutes vs seconds, which is half of why doing this by hand is annoying), ignore-scripts, and on newer pnpm block-exotic-subdeps, trust-policy: no-downgrade, and strict-dep-builds. It also handles Renovate and Dependabot cooldowns.<p>The whole thing is a bet on timing. The malicious @bitwarden&#x2F;cli 2026.4.0 was up ~19 hours and got 334 installs. axios was pulled in ~3h, ua-parser-js in hours, node-ipc in days. A 7-day gate means your installer never resolves any of those, they&#x27;re gone before the window even opens. It does nothing for the slow ones (event-stream sat 2+ months), and it&#x27;s not SCA, it won&#x27;t scan your existing lockfile for known CVEs, that&#x27;s a different layer.<p>Disclosure: I&#x27;m a co-founder and CTO at Arnica (a commercial appsec startup) and built this because putting the same recommendations on each blog post felt like yelling at the clouds. It&#x27;s free and MIT, no account, no telemetry. I&#x27;m also not the only one who had the idea (didn&#x27;t know at the time), cooldowns.dev does the cooldown part across more ecosystems with a shell helper and is worth a look. DepsGuard covers fewer ecosystems but adds the other settings and the diff&#x2F;backup&#x2F;restore flow.<p>If you want to try it: cargo install depsguard, or brew&#x2F;apt&#x2F;winget&#x2F;scoop, all in the README.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;arnica&#x2F;depsguard" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;arnica&#x2F;depsguard</a> (full settings table and FAQ at depsguard.com)<p>Is this an overkill that could have been a shell script? Probably yes (but I wanted windows support, why not).<p>Did it save someone from a supply chain attack? Also probably yes.<p>Do I know personally someone that without it wouldn&#x27;t have bothered changing their settings after repeatedly asking, but eventually did it when I gave them depsguard? Absolutely yes.

[Database] Show HN: Prela – Purely Algebraic Relation Combinators Prela is an embedded query language based on Tarski&#x27;s Algebra of Relations. Its queries are concise, clear, and fast. It is implemented by shallow embedding in a host programming language: Prela operators are regular functions in the host. The implementation follows continuation-passing style which compiles to efficient columnar execution.
