In the ever-evolving landscape of creative expression, a new horizon emerges: AI agents. Imagine authors and publishers releasing these agents as they do books or video games, creating interactive narratives and personalized adventures. This is more than just storytelling; it’s a revolution in how we experience and engage with content. AI agents could soon become our guides, companions, and co-conspirators in worlds crafted by human creativity and AI innovation. Are we ready to embark on this new journey? The next chapter in storytelling is being written, and it’s one where the reader becomes a part of the tale.

URL: https://github.com/StarmoonAI/Starmoon
Author: zq2240
Description: 1. In the US, about 1/5 children are hospitalized each year that don’t have a caregiver. Caregiver such as play therapists and parents’ stress can also affect children’s emotions.
2. Not everyone is good at making friends and not everyone has a BFF to talk to. Imagine you’re having a hard time in life or at work, and you can’t tell your parents or friends.
So, we built an open-source project Starmoon and are using affordable hardware components to bring AI characters to real-word objects like toys and plushies to help people emotional growth.
We believe this is a complement tool and it is not intended to replace anyone. Please leave any opinion.

13. Show HN: Podcast app written in Flutter searching Podcast Index
URL: #
Author: logn
Description: I named it Digilore, available here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/digilore/id6633130387
This app searches the Podcast Index https://podcastindex.org/ that’s uncensored. Apple podcast search, what most apps use, removes 3 or 4 podcasts a day, according to the Podcast Index. Digilore also supports their new RSS tags such as for transcripts and live episodes. The namespace spec is here: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace
Digilore works on MacOS and iOS and will soon support Android. I’ve been a backend Java services developer for 15 years and recently ventured out into mobile apps. It is written using the Flutter SDK (Dart language) which is cross platform (iOS/Android/Mac/Win/Web). It’s been a joy to use Flutter, and I highly recommend it. Granted, it’s a Google product, so some people might be skeptical of it.
I am not monetizing this with freemium features or as a paid app. It follows the “value for value” model of funding where users are asked to consider the amount of value it brings to them and contribute that amount, via in-app-purchases. It’s a twist on shareware and many podcasts follow this model which was my inspiration that you can read more here: https://value4value.info/about/

15. Show HN: CellSplit – an open source clone of Agar.io with strong moderation
URL: https://www.indiedb.com/games/cellsplit/news/cellsplit-has-been-released
Author: jezek2
Description: Hi,
I’ve created an open source clone of Agar.io to fix the biggest issue with the game: players team up and use bots against other players. It became clear that the game mechanics can’t fix it and a strong moderation is needed instead.
In case you’re not familiar with the game, it is a fun game where you play as a cell that can grow and attack other cells. There are various strategies how to survive and thrive in a hostile environment where everyone wants to eat each other.

You can watch the gameplay here as well as read a detailed description of the game and the moderation approach.
You can also visit the game homepage at: https://www.cellsplit.org/
The game is available for Windows, Linux, MacOS and also playable on the web.

Needed a break from the job hunt, so naturally I decided to spend an afternoon building a site to simulate the job hunt. I’ll be the first to admit that this one’s pretty on the nose - but I wanted to share as I know I’m not the only one having a hard time in this job market.
That’s all, this is just a fun little site to soothe my hacker soul - no real reason to exist. Keep on keeping on.

19. Show HN: Qapir, no-code framework for API testing
URL: https://github.com/vrtxlabs/qapir
Author: gradnichkovski
Description: Hello HN,
My name is Albert, and I’m excited to introduce qapir - a no-code framework for API testing.
qapir streamlines API testing by eliminating the need for complex setup and extensive coding. It allows you to focus exclusively on crafting test scenarios, while it manages data extraction, validation, retry logic, and more. Tests are written in YAML format, and the results are delivered in clear and readable HTML reports.
As a lightweight binary, qapir integrates seamlessly with both local environments and CI pipelines. Local setup accelerates test development, while CI integration ensures continuous API testing.
I invite you to try qapir and share your feedback! Visit this GitHub page to get started: https://github.com/vrtxlabs/qapir

21. Show HN: SentiFeel - Employee Pulse Tracking Right from Slack
URL: https://www.sentifeel.com
Author: bellip
Description: We built a tool that sends pulse surveys directly to your team via Slack to track sentiment in real-time. It’s better than making these surveys ad-hoc since frequent pulse surveys reduce bias, giving more accurate results than irregular feedback. It’s better than other tools in this space since employees can respond directly within Slack, without disruption to their workflow.
It uses Supabase for persistence and a backend written in Go for batch jobs on a Hetzner VPS.
Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

33. Show HN: KAppMaker – Kotlin Multiplatform Boilerplate for Fast iOS/Android Dev
Author: mirzemehdi
Description: Hey HN, I built KAppMaker, a Kotlin Multiplatform boilerplate that helps you launch iOS and Android apps quickly.
I know the boilerplate space is pretty saturated, but after publishing two open-source Kotlin Multiplatform libraries (KMPNotifier and KMPAuth), and seeing how much manual work goes into app setup, I realized something had to change.
Each time I started a new app, I spent at least 4-5 days just setting up basics like authentication, notifications, and in-app purchases—before even getting to the core feature. To speed up this process, I created KAppMaker, a boilerplate that bundles all of these essentials.
Using my own boilerplate, I developed and published both an Android and iOS app in just 5 days with Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform.
Would love your feedback!

36. Show HN: Stig – a minimalistic puzzle game on Steam, written in React
URL: https://lageb.itch.io/stig
Author: mirrish
Description: Me and my boyfriend are making a puzzle game together. The goal of the game is to follow a specific pattern by moving around in a grid. Since we are both web developers, we chose to do it in React and Typescript rather than a game engine. We will release it on Steam in November, using Electron to package the app as a desktop executable.
Not sure if it has saved us time to do it in React, but we didn’t feel like learning a new tool and it has worked really well! I thought making a game would take a lot of time, but we started in December so we will finish this project in less than a year. And we have had lots of fun making it :) Would be fun to hear if someone has done something similar!
Try out the demo at https://lageb.itch.io/stig or https://store.steampowered.com/app/2910530/Stig_Demo/.
I have posted about Stig before, roughly 7 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39580484). Since then we have changed the levels, updated the menu structure, added a lot of polish etc.
