Show HN: AgentLog – a lightweight event bus for AI agents using JSONL logs I’ve been experimenting with infrastructure for multi-agent systems.

I built a small project called AgentLog.

The core idea is very simple, topics are just append-only JSONL files.

Agents publish events over HTTP and subscribe to streams using SSE.

The system is intentionally single-node and minimal for now.

Future ideas I’m exploring: - replayable agent workflows - tracing reasoning across agents - visualizing event timelines - distributed/federated agent logs

Curious if others building agent systems have run into similar needs.

Show HN: Zap Code – AI code generator that teaches kids real HTML/CSS/JS

Show HN: Zap Code – AI code generator that teaches kids real HTML/CSS/JS Zap Code generates working HTML&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;JS from plain English descriptions, designed for kids ages 8-16.<p>The core loop: kid types &quot;make a space shooter game&quot;, AI generates the code, live preview renders it immediately. Three interaction modes - visual-only tweaks, read-only code view with annotations, and full code editing with AI autocomplete.<p>Technical details: Next.js frontend, Node.js backend, Monaco editor simplified for younger users, sandboxed iframe for preview execution (no external API calls from generated code). Progressive complexity engine uses a skill model to decide when to surface more advanced features.<p>Main thing that was focused on was the gap between block-based coding (Scratch, etc.) and actual programming. Block tools are great for ages 6-10 but the transition to real code is rough. This tries to smooth that curve by letting kids interact with real output first, then gradually exposing the code behind it.<p>Limitations: AI-generated code isn&#x27;t always clean or idiomatic. Content is filtered for age-appropriateness but its not perfect. Collaboration features are still basic. The complexity engine needs more data to tune well.<p>Free tier, 3 projects. Pro at $9.99&#x2F;mo.
