The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Vim-like, hyper-efficient, LLM power tool – 20-80k tokens not 350k+ · score 6.7

  A terminal-based LLM tool with Vim-inspired keybindings that reduces token usage by 70-90% through hybrid client-side compaction, tool compaction, and system nudges. It supports on-demand subagents, custom Markdown/LaTeX/Mermaid rendering, and thread pooling, aiming to make LLM interactions more efficient and keyboard-driven.

• Show HN: Live carbon intensity and power prices for 15 European grids · score 5.7

  ScienceShot Live Grid is a dashboard that shows live carbon intensity and day-ahead power prices for 15 European electricity markets, aimed at data centre operators scheduling flexible compute loads. It aggregates public data from sources like ENTSO-E and SMARD, providing hourly snapshots, forward forecasts, and recommendations for the cleanest and cheapest hours to run workloads.

• Show HN: Power Trace – what a cheap Tuya energy meter says about your wiring · score 4.7

  Power Trace is a closed-source desktop application for monitoring and analyzing data from Tuya Wi-Fi energy meters. It collects readings via push over the local network, stores them in SQLite, and provides live dashboards and on-demand analysis, with optional remote access via Tailscale. The project is interesting for its focus on local-first data ownership and practical integration of off-the-shelf IoT hardware.

• Show HN: Fire hazard zone, power line risk and fire history for any CA address · score 4.3

  Firezones.info is a web tool that provides fire hazard zone, power line risk, fire history, and home insurance information for California addresses, aggregating official public data from CAL FIRE, CPUC, and the California Department of Insurance. It helps homeowners and buyers assess wildfire risk and insurance costs with verifiable sources. The project is useful for a specific geographic audience but is not technically innovative.
