The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Videre – a Rust CLI to manage your photos and videos with joy · score 8.0

  Videre is a Rust CLI that turns a folder of photos and videos into a local, queryable media library using SQLite. It combines duplicate detection, semantic search, face recognition, and a local web gallery, all while keeping originals untouched and data private. The project stands out for its AI-friendly design, resumable long jobs, and thoughtful importers from Google Takeout, Apple Photos, and Lightroom.

• Show HN: Gauge CLI – Open-Source Hillclimbing for Agent Experience · score 7.8

  Gauge CLI is an open-source tool for hillclimbing Agent Experience, making Skills, CLIs, SDKs, MCPs, and docs easier for coding agents to discover and use. It runs real agents in Docker sessions, captures where they get stuck, and lets developers test fixes before publishing, using existing agent subscriptions without requiring a Gauge account.

• Show HN: Geneva, a Rust FFmpeg CLI alternative with HTML/CSS graphics · score 7.8

  Geneva is a Rust-based command-line video editor that uses JSON documents to define edits and HTML/CSS for motion graphics, rendered without a browser. It combines FFmpeg codecs with a custom compositor and layout engine, offering a declarative, scriptable alternative to GUI editors and browser-based rendering pipelines. The project stands out for its performance, deterministic output, and built-in distributed rendering farm.

• Show HN: Proc-CLI – An agent-friendly CLI tool for process and port management · score 7.5

  Proc-CLI is a cross-platform Rust CLI that unifies process and port management into semantic, guessable commands (on, why, kill, free, orphans), with safe-by-default behavior requiring confirmation before mutations and first-class JSON/agent support. It replaces fragile lsof/ps/xargs pipelines with a single tool, filling a real gap for developers and AI agents debugging local dev environments.
