An iOS app that tells you which of your credit cards to use at any store. The part that turned out interesting is getting your targeted bank offers (Amex Offers, Chase Offers etc) without a bank login: a Safari extension reads the offers page you're already signed into in your own browser session, and can tap all the little "add to card" buttons for you. Chase renders theirs inside shadow DOM in a virtualized grid so…

#976Lapse (lapse.in) – a little memory space for my AI agents I kept losing thoughts. An idea would show up while walking, half a sentence before falling asleep, some random connection I knew I’d want later — and by the time I found the right app to write it down, it was gone.

#9791. Create React MCP UIs (and traditional Web UIs) from python without needing a JS runtime installed
2. Provides a deno backed typescript sandbox for agent generated code via pydantic-ai / langchain
A great example use cases is automatically generating UIs for SQL query results.
