The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Starboard, Rules of the Road for Satellites · score 8.0

  Starboard is an open, deterministic collision-avoidance protocol for satellites inspired by maritime right-of-way rules. It enables two spacecraft from different operators to independently compute the same maneuver decision without communication, using a bit-identical algorithm backed by formal proofs and extensive testing. The project is notable for its rigorous verification approach (CBMC proofs, cross-architecture bit-identical builds, MISRA C compliance) and its potential to replace email-based coordination in an increasingly crowded orbital environment.

• Show HN: Teaching a 30ms local model, play browser games with LLM written rules · score 7.3

  IronBee Gamer plays browser games automatically by having an LLM write game-specific perception and decision rules, then using a fast local model (Laya) for real-time decisions. It works without game APIs, using canvas or engine state extraction, and includes a training pipeline, Hugging Face library, and a web UI. The project is interesting for combining LLM-guided rule generation with a lightweight decision engine for interactive play.

• Show HN: Nucleus- web apps where document is the state, driven by CSS-like rules · score 6.5

  Nucleus is a framework for building web apps where the document itself is the state, using custom elements and CSS-like rules (Quark) to drive behavior with minimal JavaScript. It avoids virtual DOM and build steps, enabling declarative, inspectable, and accessible UIs that are easy for humans and AI to reason about.

• Show HN: Deslop – Oxlint rules for AI-generated TypeScript · score 5.8

  Deslop is a collection of opinionated Oxlint rules that detect and reject low-signal, AI-generated TypeScript code patterns, such as unnecessary type assertions, unknown parameters, and mock-only tests. It combines vendored anti-slop rules with additional custom rules under the deslop namespace, aiming to enforce cleaner, more evidence-based code.
