Show HN: Hocuspocus 4 – self-hosted Yjs collaboration backend 12 by philipisik | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I'm Philip, one of the founders of Tiptap. Next to our open-source rich text editor framework, we started developing Hocuspocus about five years ago and open-sourced it too, to solve one of our biggest challenges back then: real-time collaboration in web editors. We found Yjs by Kevin Jahns, a CRDT library that handles concurrent edits without conflicts. Basically, Yjs merges changes from users without conflicts and in real-time. Hocuspocus is the WebSocket server built on top of Yjs. It handles real-time sync, presence/awareness, persistence, and Redis-based scaling. While we use Hocuspocus at Tiptap as the collaboration backend for our cloud services, it also works with any Yjs client (Slate, Quill, Monaco, ProseMirror, or your own setup), and Yjs documents aren't limited to text at all. You can sync any structured data through them, and in the meantime we see...

Show HN: Statewright – Visual state machines that make AI agents reliable 11 by azurewraith | 1 comments on Hacker News. Agentic problem solving in its current state is very brittle. I fell in love with it, but it creates as many problems as it solves. I'm Ben Cochran, I spent 20+ years in the trenches with full-stack Engineering, DevOps, high performance computing & ML with stints at NVIDIA, AMD and various other organizations most recently as a Distinguished Engineer. For agents to work reliably you either need massive parameter counts or massive context windows to keep the solution spaces workable. Most people are brute forcing reliability with bigger models and longer prompts. What if I made the problem smaller instead of making the model bigger? I took a different approach by using smaller models: models in the 13-20B parameter range and set them to task solving real SWE-bench problems. I constrained the tool and solution spaces using formal state machines. Each state ...

Show HN: Stage CLI – an easier way of reading your AI generated changes locally 9 by cpan22 | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! We're Charles and Dean. A few weeks ago we posted about Stage, a code review tool that guides you through reading a PR step by step - https://ift.tt/5psBLFq . We got a lot of great feedback but also heard from many people that they wanted to have the chapters experience even before opening a PR… so we built the Stage CLI as the local, open-source version that anyone can try. Here’s a quick demo video: https://ift.tt/AXfDSc9 It works with any coding agent of your choice. The skill instructs the agent to read your current branch’s changes, break them down into separate logical chapters, and open them in a local browser. We’ve found that reading changes this way is a lot easier for us than reading them in an IDE or other similar CLI tools, which present diffs to you in repository tree order. You can see a few examples of what it feels like here: https...
