The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Bobby – Over Engineering PR Reviews · score 7.8

  Bobby is a focus-first GitHub pull request reviewer that transforms diffs into a navigable tree of related code, with keyboard-driven walkthroughs, inline commenting, and optional AI-powered organization via Claude. It stands out by visually mapping dependencies and impacts beyond the changed lines, aiming to reduce review fatigue and improve code comprehension.

• Show HN: Reverse engineering the ANE to run Gemma 4 26B at 100 Tok/s · score 7.5

  ANE Fieldfare is a Swift-based inference engine that runs Gemma 4 26B-A4B on Apple Silicon by leveraging the Neural Engine for prefill, GPU-based speculative decoding with a DFlash drafter, and memory-mapped expert weights cached by the OS file cache. It achieves up to 100 tok/s on a 16GB Mac with under 1GB RSS, significantly outperforming llama.cpp and Turbo Fieldfare.

• Show HN: Thyme – A New AI-Based App Reverse Engineering Tool · score 7.5

  Garlic is a high-performance Java/Android decompiler written in C, capable of decompiling APK, DEX, JAR, and class files, along with ELF analysis for ARM binaries. Thyme builds on it as a reverse-engineering IDE with AI integration, offering decompilation, disassembly, call graph queries, and MCP support for agent-driven analysis.

• Show HN: OSS AI engineering telemetry without collecting prompts or code · score 6.3

  AI Engineer Tools provides open-source collectors for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) that capture structured activity events without prompts or code, plus a VS Code extension for editor telemetry. It unifies event formats across agents and runs locally by default, enabling teams to build custom analytics on agent usage.
