New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Apple terminated our dev account over a rogue employee

Ask HN: Apple terminated our dev account over a rogue employee 110 by 0x1f | 12 comments on Hacker News. I know that HN isn't a customer support forum and it might not be right to post this here, but we are absolutely desperate and hoping someone in this community can point us in the right direction. We are a small software company in Africa. For over two years, we've built and maintained an app. It has become a vital economic engine for our local community, employing a whole fleet of delivery agents and serving as a lifeline for local stores and restaurants. Recently, we discovered that a single employee used a shared company machine to engage in unauthorized activities that violated Apple's Developer Terms of Service. We took immediate action: we fired the employee on the spot and completely overhauled our security. We revoked all individual access and implemented mandatory, peer-reviewed, supervised sessions for any Apple Developer portal access. The problem is the co...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Joonote – A note-taking app on your lock screen and notification panel

Show HN: Joonote – A note-taking app on your lock screen and notification panel 7 by kilgarenone | 0 comments on Hacker News. I finally built this app after many years of being sick of unlocking my phone every goddamn time I need to take or view my notes. It particularly sucks when I'm doing my grocery and going down the list. I started building last year June. This is a native app written in Kotlin. And since I'm a 100% Web dev guy, I gotta say this wouldn't have been possible without this AI to assist me. So this isn't "vibe-coded". I simply used the chat interface in Gemini website, manually copy paste codes to build and integrate every single thing in the app! I used gemini to build it just because I was piggybacking on my last company's enterprise subscription. I personally didn't subscribe to any AI (and still don't cuz the free quota seems enough for me :) So I certainly have learnt alot about Android development, architecture patterns, K...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Claude-replay – A video-like player for Claude Code sessions

Show HN: Claude-replay – A video-like player for Claude Code sessions 16 by es617 | 7 comments on Hacker News. I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings. Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps. I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay. You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation. The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Open-Source Article 12 Logging Infrastructure for the EU AI Act

Show HN: Open-Source Article 12 Logging Infrastructure for the EU AI Act 12 by systima | 0 comments on Hacker News. EU legislation (which affects UK and US companies in many cases) requires being able to truly reconstruct agentic events. I've worked in a number of regulated industries off & on for years, and recently hit this gap. We already had strong observability, but if someone asked me to prove exactly what happened for a specific AI decision X months ago (and demonstrate that the log trail had not been altered), I could not. The EU AI Act has already entered force, and its Article 12 kicks-in in August this year, requiring automatic event recording and six-month retention for high-risk systems, which many legal commentators have suggested reads more like an append-only ledger requirement than standard application logging. With this in mind, we built a small free, open-source TypeScript library for Node apps using the Vercel AI SDK that captures inference as an append-o...
