Show HN: Analytics and Attribution for DeFi

Building a successful onchain app is hard. It gets even harder when you don&#x27;t know how people are using it. You&#x27;re shipping features, running campaigns, and trying to find product-market fit, but without clear data, you&#x27;re lost in a dark forest. Analytics remains as one of the biggest challenges in crypto.Think about the questions you&#x27;re trying to answer every day:* Who are my top users?* What drove them to us? Where do they come from?* Which channels or campaigns are working

Show HN: Themeable HN

Hi HN, I needed a distraction from the new and scary thing I was working on this weekend, so I grabbed HN&#x27;s stylesheet, extracted CSS variables for every colour it defined, then re-applied them back onto HN using its own selectors (plus some extras for bits of HN which are styled inline, and some separation between header and content styling), allowing it to be themed with variables.After using them to implement a dark mode (and a pure black variant for OLED), plugging everything into my ex

Show HN: Semantik, a vector broker that routes by semantic meaning

Hello HN,Today we are launching Semantik, a message broker that routes by meaning instead of topics. Messages carry embeddings and metadata, and subscribers define what they care about using SemQL, a query language for high-dimensional space. SemQL has three predicates: distance (how similar), direction (messages that align with a concept), and contrast (similar to X but not Y). Semantik behaves like a vector database with a rolling window paired with SQL.The secret sauce behind openclaw is chan

ZeroID is an open-source agent identity platform that automates the &quot;plumbing&quot; of RFC 8693 and SPIRE. It ensures that every sub-agent in a chain has a down-scoped, verifiable identity without the manual overhead of managing certificates and token exchanges.

Show HN: Three backtested quant strategies as Jupyter notebooks

I&#x27;ve spent a few years building quant strategies and most of the work isn&#x27;t the math — it&#x27;s the plumbing: getting clean data, structuring the backtest so it doesn&#x27;t look at the future, generating a readable tearsheet. I packaged three of my working strategies as self-contained notebooks so someone can go from zero to a proper backtest in an afternoon.The three strategies:1.

Self-Promotion on HN

I have noticed users plugging their projects in a new and bad way. Historically users would reference their software project only when it is directly relevant to the conversation. The project reference would commonly sit as a URL in a footer citation. These comments were informative without citations, and allow a reader to opt-in to further information discovery. This post structure resulted in reader control over exposure to self-promotion.Contrast this to the recent trend of dropping in-line r
