Show HN: JevBench, a reproducible benchmark for typed decision models

Hi HN! I built JevBench because Jev kicks ass, and the world deserves to know how the serious open source and fake lookalike projects really perform in comparison. Jev-class models return bounded choices and probabilities instead of text, and are disruptively faster and cheaper t

Show HN: A fast, offline Markdown viewer for macOS built in Swift

Hi HN! I made Tim’s Markdown Reader because I wanted a free, open-source app just for reading Markdown. I spend a lot of time working with AI coding agents, and sometimes I just want to open the files they produce and read them without opening an editor. It’s written in Swift and

Show HN: What's Next – end a Claude Code turn with a choice, not prose

Hi HN, I built `What's Next` (whats-next@kvit) – a Claude Code plugin that ends a turn with a short report + a card of 2-4 options instead of wall of Claude's prose. Think of it as reverse Jev: Jev's thesis is when the answer is a choice, return a typed choice instead of generati
