Show HN: Fantastic Canvashttps://github.com/aisixteen/fantastic

Fantastic is my own harness. It runs on an Erlang-like, OS-like meta-runtime instead of agent loops or agent graphs. I believe this is the right design for an AI runtime: it puts humans, AI agents and tools on equal footing. It will grow into a convenient multi-OS runtime that can do what other AI libraries and harnesses do. For now it’s a technical demo with two modes: a CLI coder, and a spatial canvas that’s very handy for a lot of everyday work. I think the canvas mode is the kind of software we’ll all be using in the 2030s. I don’t have a name for it yet, so for now let’s call i…

Show HN: Zipgeist, extract and open archives in Finder as volumes on macOShttps://zipgeist.app

Zipgeist is a MacOS app that allows users to open zip, rar and various other files in Finder without having to wait or unpack files. Ever since I switched from Windows to Mac 15 years ago I’ve always found it annoying that there wasn’t a way to just properly browse archives in Finder, like you can in File Explorer. Opening an archive is extremely fast, expecially in comparison to extracting. That being said, we also offer the ability to extract various file types (faster than Keka, The Unarchiver, Archive Utility etc..). Since we use FSKit, MacOS 26 (Tahoe) or higher is a requirement.

Hi HN, I'm a sound editor and composer. I had an MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) keyboard sitting on the desk in front of me and not enough space for a DAW control surface. The MPE keys to me were about the same size as a mixing board fader, and operated on the same y-axis gesture, so I decided to see if I could make the translation. About a year later, I have an 8-channel control surface running on HUI or Mackie Control with all major functions, including a system wide keyboard shortcut and macro engine. The crucial part was getting the keys to respond like a real fader, starting in the rig…
