I Tested Every 'Memory' Solution for AI Coding Assistants - Here's What Actually Works
Every AI coding session starts from scratch. You open Claude Code or Codex, and it has no idea that your team uses JWT with 15-minute expiry, that you migrated from REST to GraphQL last month, or that the payments service is the one thing you never touch on Fridays. You re-explain the same architecture decisions, the same conventions, the same constraints. Every single time. This is not a minor annoyance. It is compounding time loss. The first 5-10 minutes of every session is wasted on context that the assistant already learned yesterday. Over weeks, that adds up to hours. I went looking for solutions and tested everything I could find. What I Tried a) Obsidian Mind (574 stars on GitHub) Obsidian Mind is an Obsidian vault template that gives Claude Code persistent memory. It works by loadi
Open Source Project of the Day (Part 30): banana-slides - Native AI PPT Generation App Based on nano banana pro
Introduction "Vibe your PPT like vibing code." This is Part 30 of the "Open Source Project of the Day" series. Today we explore banana-slides ( GitHub ), open-sourced by Anionex . Have you ever found yourself the night before a presentation with a blank slide deck — full of brilliant ideas, but completely drained by the drudgery of layouts and design? Traditional AI PPT tools may be "fast," but they're often locked into preset templates, offer little freedom, and produce homogeneous results. banana-slides is built on Google's nano banana pro image generation model, delivering a "native Vibe PPT" experience: three creation paths — one sentence , outline , and page description — upload any template or materials, intelligently parse PDF/Docx/MD files, use natural language voice editing on spe
Stop Writing AI Prompts From Scratch: A Developer's System for Reusable Prompt Templates
You open Cursor. You need to refactor a service. You type something like: "Hey, can you refactor this function to be cleaner?" The AI gives you something mediocre. You tweak the prompt. Try again. The output improves. You get what you need — but you've spent four minutes writing a prompt you'll write again tomorrow, and next week, and every time a similar task comes up. This is the hidden tax on AI-assisted development. Not API costs. Not context limits. Prompt reinvention. Most developers treat every AI interaction as a blank slate. Senior engineers don't. They've built systems. This article is about building that system: a reusable prompt library that makes your AI interactions faster, more consistent, and dramatically higher quality. Why Most Developer Prompts Fail Before building a sys

Show HN: Ray – an open-source AI financial advisor that runs in your terminal
I've been using this daily for 4 months and figured others might find it useful. This is my first open source project so would love any feedback. Ray connects to your bank via Plaid, stores everything in an encrypted local SQLite database, and lets you ask questions about your finances in natural language. No cloud, no account, your data is stored on your machine. Before anything reaches the LLM, all PII is stripped — your name, companies, transaction details are redacted and replaced with tokens, then rehydrated locally in the response. The AI never sees who you are. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47644133 Points: 6 # Comments: 2
I Gave Claude Access to My Desktop Outlook Without Touching the Microsoft API
How a 150-line Python script using macOS Accessibility APIs turned my Mac’s Outlook app into a fully AI-readable inbox no OAuth, no permissions headache, no Graph API token. Every few months I try again to get Claude to help me with my emails. Every few months I run into the same wall: Microsoft’s Graph API requires an Azure app registration, an OAuth flow, admin consent for enterprise tenants, and — depending on your company’s IT policy — a support ticket that takes two weeks to resolve. By then, I’ve given up and gone back to manually copy-pasting emails into Claude. Then I found a different angle. macOS has had a powerful accessibility API since the early days of OS X. It’s the same system that screen readers use. Any app running on your Mac including Outlook exposes its entire UI eleme
The Spaceballs sequel will be released in April next year
There's finally a release date for the Spaceballs sequel — but before you get too excited, it's a whole year away.
