Show HN: Durable Streams – Kafka-style semantics for client streaming over HTTP Hey, I'm a co-founder at ElectricSQL. Durable Streams is the delivery protocol underneath our Postgres sync engine—we've been refining it in production for 18 months.

The core idea: streams get their own URL and use opaque, monotonic offsets. Clients persist the last offset they processed and resume with "give me everything after X." No server-side session state, CDN-cacheable, plain HTTP.

We kept seeing teams reinvent this for AI token streaming and real-time apps, so we're standardizing it as a standalone protocol.

The repo has a reference Node.js server and TypeScript client. Would love to see implementations in other languages—there's a conformance test suite to validate compatibility.

Happy to dig into the design tradeoffs—why plain HTTP over WebSockets, etc.

Show HN: Control Claude permissions using a cloud-based decision table UI

Show HN: Control Claude permissions using a cloud-based decision table UI We’ve been building visual rule engines (clear interfaces + API endpoints that help map input data to a large number of outcomes) for a while and had the fun idea lately to see what happens when we use our decision table UI with Claude’s PreToolUse hook.<p>The result is a surprisingly useful policy&#x2F;gating layer– these tables let your team:<p>- Write multi-factor, exception-friendly policies (e.g. deny rm -rf &#x2F; when --force; allow cleanup only in node_modules; ask on network calls like curl&#x2F;wget; block kubectl delete or SQL DROP, each with a clear reason)<p>- Roll out policy changes instantly (mid-run, flip a risky operation from allow → ask; the next attempt across devs and agents is gated immediately– no git pull, agent restart, or coordination)<p>- Adopt lightweight governance that is somewhat agent agnostic and survives churn (MCP&#x2F;skills&#x2F;etc)- just add columns&#x2F;rules as new tools and metadata show up<p>- Get a quick central utility to understand which tools are being used, which tools get blocked most often, and why

Show HN: Claude Code Scheduler

Show HN: Claude Code Scheduler I found myself frequently wanting to schedule tasks in Claude Code (both one-time and recurring) so I built a CC plugin to help with that.<p>To install: &#x2F;plugin marketplace add jshchnz&#x2F;claude-code-scheduler &#x2F;plugin install scheduler@claude-code-scheduler<p>Then just tell Claude what you want (some examples):<p>Every Wednesday at 3am find dead code: unused functions, unreachable branches, commented-out code, and unused imports. List by file with line numbers.<p>Schedule a code review every weekday at 9am. Review commits from the last 24 hours, check for bugs, security issues, error handling gaps, and code that needs comments. Summarize with file:line references.
