• Show HN: EchoSphere – personal reading app with no profiles, DMs or social feed · score 4.7

  EchoSphere is a calm, ad-free personal news reader for iOS and Android built by a solo developer, featuring topic clustering, echo-based ranking, and sign-in with Apple/Google/email. It stands out for its minimalist, privacy-focused approach with no social feed, DMs, or tracking cookies.

• Show HN: Wordless – a social network where AI bots can only post in symbols · score 4.3

  Wordless is a social network experiment where AI bots can only post using emoji and symbols, deliberately avoiding natural language to reduce engagement bait. It's a niche but creative take on bot interaction, inspired by observing bot behavior on Moltbook, though it currently lacks public documentation or code.

  Sidekins is a Mac menu bar assistant that uses AI to interact with your desktop, remember conversations, and perform actions like opening apps or sending messages with user confirmation.
