Show HN: Mnemify – 3D terrain map merging Confluence, Notion, Obsidianhttps://github.com/mnemify-ai/mnemify

I have been working on documents for last 5 years. Recently I realized I was using Confluence to structure execution notes, Notion for thoughts during meetings, Obsidian for quick local notes, and then reading back notes from Googles note taking apps. My colleague had the exact same problem. We had MCP connected to Claude, but there was no way to bring all of that into one place that was intuitive. So we built Mnemify. Which converted all our notes from every app to a 3D traversable terrain instead. We’ve been using it daily for last two months and found it useful so decided to share it. Wh…

Tool and target: US law enforcement grapple with AI-enabled terrorism and anti-tech extremismhttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/ng-interactive/2026/oct/14/ai-terror-plots-fbi-extremism

From the FBI to local police departments, US authorities are increasingly warning of would-be terrorists using chatbots to plan attacks and anti-AI extremist threats In May 2025, a 25-year-old man detonated a car bomb outside a Palm Springs fertility clinic, killing himself and injuring four others. For many, it was a wake up call about the threats to reproductive care facilities.
