Show HN: Kling 2.6 – Unified Audio-Video Generation from a Single Prompt
Hi HN,
We’ve been building Kling 2.6, a new model that generates video and native audio together in one pass. Instead of producing visuals first and adding sound later, Kling 2.6 co-generates frames, voices, SFX, and ambient sound as a unified output.
Key Features of Kling 2.6
Audio–Video Co-Generation
Kling 2.6 creates visuals and native sound at the same time — every frame aligns with tone, pacing, and motion for stronger immersion.
Natural, Synced Voices
Character speech is generated directly from the model. Lip movement, personality, and expression stay consistent and believable.
Complete Audio–Visual Moments
The output includes visuals, voiceovers, ambient sound, and effects — ready to use without post-production.
Integrated Soundscapes
Matching SFX and layered ambience make scenes feel cinematic, even for short clips.
New Creative Possibilities
Because visuals and audio come from one model, creators can explore storytelling, product demos, launch videos, and social content without editing pipelines.
Use Cases
Marketing videos with native voiceovers
Narrative scenes with emotional pacing
Product explainers with natural narration
Cinematic social content for Reels/TikTok/Shorts
We’d love feedback on:

Show HN: BackMark – Markdown task manager built for AI-assisted coding
Hey HN,
I've been coding with Claude and Cursor for over a year now, and I kept running into the same problem: traditional task managers don't fit the AI-assisted workflow.
So I built BackMark – a CLI task manager where every task is a plain Markdown file with dedicated spaces for AI collaboration:
- ai_plan: where the AI breaks down the approach - ai_notes: context the AI discovers while working - ai_documentation: auto-generated docs - ai_review: AI self-assessment before handoff
Why Markdown? Your tasks are just .md files with YAML frontmatter. Git-friendly, future-proof, readable in any editor. No database, no cloud, no lock-in.
It's also fast – LokiJS indexing gives sub-10ms queries even with 1000+ tasks.
Everything runs 100% offline. No accounts, no telemetry.
npm install -g @grazulex/backmark
I use it daily for my own projects. Curious if others have struggled with task management in the "vibe coding" era and how you've solved it.

Show HN: Shipmark – Git release management CLI with zero dependencies
Hey HN,
I built Shipmark because I was frustrated with release tooling that required installing GitHub CLI, GitLab CLI, or other heavy dependencies just to tag and release.
Shipmark is a CLI that handles the entire release workflow using only native Git:
- Interactive prompts to bump versions (semver + prereleases) - Automatic changelog generation from Conventional Commits - Preview of all changes before execution - Non-interactive mode for CI/CD pipelines
It's a single npm install with no external dependencies.
npm install -g @grazulex/shipmark
I use it daily for my projects and it's saved me a lot of time. Would love to hear your feedback or how you handle releases in your workflow.

Show HN: Kling O1 Image –Consistent Image Generation from Multi-Reference Inputs
Hi HN,
we’ve been building Kling O1 Image, an image-generation tool that extracts core features from up to 10 reference images and produces visually consistent results across scenes and compositions. It’s designed for creators who want stable character design, precise edits, and controllable style without heavy editing workflows.
Key features:
High Feature Retention
Extracts contours, materials, and tone across multiple images to keep identity and style consistent in series. Useful for IP character design, comics, and brand visuals.
Precise Detail Modification
No professional editing required. Add, remove, or modify details using natural-language instructions while preserving lighting, texture, and overall style continuity.
Accurate Control of Style & Tone
Reconstructs reference styles — brush strokes, palette logic, and composition — enabling cinematic scenes, 3D figurine looks, and niche aesthetics with natural blending.
Rich Imagination
Blend different concepts, doodles, and visual ideas without awkward seams. Supports creative composition for complex themes and scene design.
Use cases: Filmmaking & pre-production, portrait stylization, e-commerce visuals, IP design, comic/webtoon scenes, posters, concept art, social content.
We’d love your feedback on:
• How you’d use multi-reference image generation in your workflow
• What integrations or APIs would help your pipeline
