Moadim.io – A scheduler for agents
Why can't we get an agent scheduler that supports all of the following:- git compatible- agent agnostic- 100% open source- os and system-agnostic- multi-runner support- support mcp/ui/http- unlimited routines/cronsSo I built one, moadim.io is a local Rust daemon you install in the target machine, give it a name and manage its routines via a Git repository, wants a new routine that send you a daily message from this machine? Create a pr and merge, have another routine that run every hour to pull the latest changes to the ~/.config/moadim folder.With more than 1,000 users, I define this project as almost "done" and ready for production. Me and thousand more people are use it in a daily manner.It currently supports Claude, Codex, Hermes, and Pi, and you are welcome to add your agent of choice as well because it's 100% configurable.You are welcome to have a look at the source code of the daemon in "http://github.com/moadim-io/daemon"Feel free to provide me with suggestions for more features around this topic. I don't want to branch out to new off road topics likt webhooks, this is a "done" software in the realm of agents schedulers that focus on cron-like work.Also feel free to start the github repository and open issues and PRs for your suggestions.

Open-source Rust daemon that schedules AI agent tasks via Git-based configuration, eliminating vendor lock-in and infrastructure complexity.
The pain
The gap
Build angle
Strengths
- Proven traction: 1,000+ active users already using daily, not theoretical demand
- Technical moat: Git-as-database approach is elegant and hard to copy without rearchitecting
- Developer-first positioning: Open source + local-first + no vendor lock-in resonates with engineering teams
- Timing: AI agent adoption is accelerating; scheduling is becoming a real bottleneck
- Founder has shipped and maintained, not a prototype
Risks
- Monetization unclear: Open-source daemon is hard to charge for; managed hosting requires operational overhead and sales motion
- Market size unknown: How many teams actually need agent scheduling vs. using existing tools? TAM could be smaller than it appears
- Competitive response: Major platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI, cloud providers) could bundle scheduling into their offerings
- Maintenance burden: Supporting multiple agent types and MCP protocols requires ongoing engineering; small team could get stretched
- Adoption friction: Self-hosting a daemon is still higher friction than SaaS; limits addressable market to technical teams

Semble – Code search for agents that uses 98% fewer tokens than grep
Hey HN! We (Stephan and Thomas) recently open-sourced Semble. We kept running into the same problem while using Claude Code on large codebases: when the agent can't find something directly, it falls back to grep, reading full files or launching subagents. This uses a lot of tokens, and often still misses the relevant code. There are existing tools for this, but they were either too slow to index on demand, needed API keys, or had poor retrieval quality.Semble is our solution for this. It combines static Model2Vec embeddings (using our latest static model: potion-code-16M) with BM25, fused via RRF and reranked with code-aware signals. Everything runs on CPU since there's no transformers involved. On our benchmark of ~1250 query/document pairs across 63 repos and 19 languages, it uses 98% fewer tokens than grep+read and reaches 99% of the retrieval quality of a 137M-parameter code-trained transformer, while being ~200x faster.Main features:- Token-efficient: 98% fewer tokens than grep+read- Fast: ~250ms to index a typical repo on our benchmark, ~1.5ms per query on CPU (very large repos may take longer)- Accurate: 0.854 NDCG@10, 99% of the best transformer setup we tested- MCP server: drop-in for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode- Zero config: no API keys, no GPU, no external servicesInstall in Claude Code with: claude mcp add semble -s user -- uvx --from "semble[mcp]" sembleOr check our README for other installation instructions, benchmarks, and methodology:Semble: https://github.com/MinishLab/sembleBenchmarks: https://github.com/MinishLab/semble/tree/main/benchmarksModel: https://huggingface.co/minishlab/potion-code-16MLet us know if you have any feedback or questions!

Postgres extension for BM25 relevance-ranked full-text search
Last summer we faced a conundrum at my company, Tiger Data, a Postgres cloud vendor whose main business is in timeseries data. We were trying to grow our business towards emerging AI-centric workloads and wanted to provide a state-of-the-art hybrid search stack in Postgres. We'd already built pgvectorscale in house with the goal of scaling semantic search beyond pgvector's main memory limitations. We just needed a scalable ranked keyword search solution too.The problem: core Postgres doesn't provide this; the leading Postgres BM25 extension, ParadeDB, is guarded behind AGPL; developing our own extension appeared daunting. We'd need a small team of sharp engineers and 6-12 months, I figured. And we'd probably still fall short of the performance of a mature system like Parade/Tantivy.Or would we? I'd be experimenting long enough with AI-boosted development at that point to realize that with the latest tools (Claude Code + Opus) and an experienced hand (I've been working in database systems internals for 25 years now), the old time estimates pretty much go out the window.I told our CTO I thought I could solo the project in one quarter. This raised some eyebrows.It did take a little more time than that (two quarters), and we got some real help from the community (amazing!) after open-sourcing the pre-release. But I'm thrilled/exhausted today to share that pg_textsearch v1.0 is freely available via open source (Postgres license), on Tiger Data cloud, and hopefully soon, a hyperscalar near you:https://github.com/timescale/pg_textsearchIn the blog post accompanying the release, I overview the architecture and present benchmark results using MS-MARCO. To my surprise, we were not only able to meet Parade/Tantivy's query performance, but exceed it substantially, measuring a 4.7x advantage on query throughput at scale:https://www.tigerdata.com/blog/pg-textsearch-bm25-fu

Consus (YC F24) – LLM gateway for companies handling sensitive data
Hey Hacker News! I'm Eric, the founder of Consus. We route all AI requests to ITAR restricted and controlled unclassified information (CUI) compliant infrastructure. Consus itself satisfies ITAR restrictions, and we recently completed our FedRAMP equivalency audit against the 410 FedRAMP High controls. FedRAMP High is the U.S. government’s strictest security baseline for cloud services handling sensitive unclassified data. A breach of this data could cause severe or catastrophic harm. Achieving FedRAMP equivalency, or authorization, is required before processing CUI information.Demo: https://youtu.be/6MYxJe6P4oYAerospace and defense is experiencing rapid growth. Unfortunately, most companies are struggling to use AI because of necessary data protections & compliance risk. These companies can move even faster if they could use the AI tools that most other industries take for granted.I spent most of my career prior to Consus in aerospace & defense. I launched national security payloads at SpaceX, and was an early employee at Castelion. I’ve watched first hand how compliance red-tape makes it difficult for companies to adopt new technologies and trust vendors that touch their sensitive data. For example, I worked with a satellite manufacturer that doesn’t allow any AI tools, even for non-sensitive work.Even as AI has become extremely useful over the past 9-12 months, I was surprised by how many aerospace & defense companies refused to touch it. They could see how it could be helpful, but they were scared about model providers training on their data, violating an ITAR rule, or risk losing new business because of a failed cyber assessment. These are all rational fears.There were a lot of ways to solve some/all of these problems, but we focused on building a compliant AI inference layer that can "plug" into any AI tool or workflow. Just as OpenRouter integrates with most tools, Consus can connect to tools like ChatGPT or Clau
