I've been learning Japanese for a few years and kept running into a similar problem. I'd find a video I wanted to learn from, hear a useful sentence, and then realise that turning that sentence into something I could study later was both time consuming and draining at times.I would end up jumping between a video player, subtitles/transcription, a dictionary, screenshots, audio clips and Anki. So I built SubSmith to bring that workflow together.You can drop a video or audio file into it, generate a transcript locally and then use the transcript alongside the media to:* look up words and sentences * replay individual lines * edit the transcript * save useful sentences with their original context/audio * export them as Anki cardsThe important part for me is that it works with your own media. It isn't tied to a particular streaming service or library, so I can use the random anime episode, podcast, lecture, etc. that I'm actually interested in studying.It's an offline-first desktop app, and transcription happens locally rather than sending the media to a transcription API.I'm sharing it here because I'm now more interested in finding out where this workflow breaks down for other people rather than adding features randomly now that I have solid core/base.For example:* Would you actually save sentences from your own media? * Which part of this process feels like too much work? * Does having the audio/context attached make creating an Anki card more useful? * Would you prefer this to work inside your existing video player/browser? * Is installing a desktop app a significant barrier? * And does requiring an account before starting the free trial make you give up?The current version does require an account to start the trial, and I'm trying to work out whether that's meaningful friction for the people who would actually use this.It's free to try, and I'd particularly appreciate feedback from peop

Hey HN,I’m Abhishek. I'm building Opslane, an open-source agent that identifies user-facing issues and investigates them. It only creates a PR if it can verify the fix.Demo: https://youtu.be/ccuOTYQMeYg Docs: https://docs.opslane.comAt my last job at Robinhood, we used to do a quarterly bug bash. We would go through our Sentry backlog and try to fix as many of them as possible. We only fixed bugs we knew were reported by customers. We had hundreds of bugs, and Sentry’s default priority levels made no sense. After the bug bash, we would declare bankruptcy - select all remaining bugs and mark them as resolved.This problem has only gotten worse since coding agents have become more prevalent.So I started thinking: what would Sentry look like if it were built in 2026?To me, error trackers have two failure modes:1. False positives: They show you thousands of errors, and you can’t tell the impact on the user2. False negatives: Many user-facing issues don’t throw exceptions, so they go unnoticed.Opslane combines error tracking and session recording. And there is an agent that acts on both. To get started, you install the Opslane SDK. It captures everything the user did: errors, console logs, network requests, and session recordings.Opslane reduces false positives by ranking issues based on how many users are facing a particular issue. It also learns about your product by reading your code and watching your session recordings.False negatives are harder. Opslane reviews session recordings to spot frustration. They look for rage clicks, dead clicks, and abandoned forms.This recently caught a bug in an early customer’s onboarding flow: a dropdown that closed itself when clicked. No exception, no bug report. The recordings showed users clicking it, selecting nothing, and dropping out of onboarding. Opslane flagged it and the team fixed it.Three guiding principles when building Opslane:1. Open Source: Self-host with one Docker Compose file.2.Agent-fi

I have been working on Sesame, an open-source password manager that keeps your vault local by default. You don't need an account to create or use a vault, and the hosted service never receives the vault itself. It's still early software and the independent security review isn't finished yet, so I am mainly interested in feedback, testing, and people looking through the code.(Linux support is yet to be released on v0.1.2, but currently is in the works.)
