Show HN: Frame – Managing projects, tasks, and context for Claude Code
I built Frame to better manage the projects I develop with Claude Code, to bring a standard to my Claude Code projects, to improve project and task planning, and to reduce context and memory loss. In its current state, Frame works entirely locally. You don’t need to enter any API keys or anything like that. You can run Claude Code directly using the terminal inside Frame.
Why am I not using existing IDEs? Simply because, for me, I no longer need them. What I need is an interface centered around the terminal, not a code editor. I initially built something that allowed me to place terminals in a grid layout, but then I decided to take it further. I realized I also needed to manage my projects and preserve context.
I’m still at a very early stage, but even being able to build the initial pieces I had in mind within 5–6 days—using Claude Code itself—feels kind of crazy.
What can you do with Frame?
You can start a brand-new project or turn an existing one into a Frame project. For this, Frame creates a set of Markdown and JSON files with rules I defined. These files exist mainly to manage tasks and preserve context.
You can manually add project-related tasks through the UI. I haven’t had the chance to test very complex or long-running scenarios yet, but from what I’ve seen, Claude Code often asks questions like: “Should I add this as a task to tasks.json?” or “Should we update project_notes.md after this project decision?” I recommend saying yes to these.
I also created a JSON file that keeps track of the project structure, down to function-level details. This part is still very raw. In the future, I plan to experiment with different data structures to help AI understand the project more quickly and effectively.
As mentioned, you can open your terminals in either a grid or tab view. I added options up to a 3×3 grid. Since the project is open source, you can modify it based on your own needs.
I also added a panel where you can view and manage plugins.
For code files or other files, I included a very simple editor. This part is intentionally minimal and quite basic for now.
Based on my own testing, I haven’t encountered any major bugs, but there might be some. I apologize in advance if you run into any issues.
My core goal is to establish a standard for AI-assisted projects and make them easier to manage. I’m very open to your ideas, support, and feedback. You can see more details on GitHub : https://github.com/kaanozhan/Frame

Show HN: Vultrino – Let AI agents use credentials without seeing them
I built Vultrino because I kept running into the same problem: I want AI agents to do things that require credentials, but I don't want those secrets in prompts, logs, or context windows.
It's not just API keys – it's signing commits with PGP keys, accessing databases, decrypting files, anything that needs a secret. The agent shouldn't see the credential; it should just be able to use it.
Vultrino is a credential proxy that sits between your AI agent and the operation. The agent says "use my github-api credential" or "sign this with my pgp-key" and Vultrino handles the secret material without exposing it.
Key features: - WASM plugin system – add any credential type (PGP signing plugin included, build your own) - MCP native – works directly with Claude - OAuth2 with automatic token refresh - Scoped API keys – agent X can only access credentials matching "github-*" - Encrypted storage (AES-256-GCM), SSRF protection, audit logging

Show HN: Markpad – The Notepad Equivalent for Markdown
Built this for two reasons:
One: I've always wanted to be able to double click a Markdown file and see it like it appears on GitHub. Didn't want Obsidian or jumpy VS Code extensions just to view a README offline.
Two: Opening Microslop's Notepad lately shows how determined they are to add bloat to every aspect of Windows, so I needed a replacement.
Markpad is a simple Markdown file viewer and general text editor, rendered as close as possible to GitHub's markdown flavor. Features:
- Tabbed interface - Monaco editor (VS Code) - Syntax highlighting both in editor and code blocks - Image and YouTube embeds - Familiar GitHub styled markdown rendering - Tiny memory usage (~10MB) - No telemetry or bloat - Free and open-source - Lightweight native-feeling UI
Still in development, so I'd love some feedback on how to shape it to something more people can enjoy.
Cheers

Ask HN: How to Built an Active Community
I have built the Tech Content Platform Insidestack (https://insidestack.it) as a new side hustle with currently over 1000 popular RSS Feeds from independent tech experts, tech media houses and Big Tech.
The site has some nice features like - Semantic search with text embedding - You can block / follow feeds - You can bookmark and comment articles
The longterm goal is that any user can build customised feeds by defining interests (which translate into search vectors).
I think the site has clean, modern design and is also quite efficient. (warning not vibe-coded). It is fully self-hosted from frontend, backend, database and email.
The costs are extremely low currently, I spend less than €20 / month. I want to offer this as completely free service, not even requiring registration, except for creating customised feeds.
My question is what is the best strategy to build an active community. I was thinking of open sourcing the feeds to get some attention. But this would be yet another awesome list... I was also occasionally posting on Reddit but this has very short-term effect...
Looking forward to your suggestions.

Show HN: AI file agents that work across your existing documents
See, we all know tools like ChatGPT and Claude can create files now. But something big is still missing: context.
Real work does not start from scratch. It depends on existing files, past documents, logos, images, spreadsheets, and PDFs scattered across your drive.
That is exactly why we built The Drive AI.
The Drive AI uses file agents that do more than just generate new files. They can pull information, images, tables, and logos from your existing files and use them to create new documents like Word files, PDFs, PowerPoint decks, and Excel sheets.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
