Show HN: Kerns – A Continuous Research Workspace

Most research tools help you collect links. Kerns is built for ongoing research.

You define topics and sources once. Kerns continuously tracks them over time, surfaces what changes, and structures the material so understanding compounds instead of resetting each session.

The key difference is the interface layer. Beyond feeds and summaries, Kerns organizes research into reasoning-ready views—maps, structured summaries, and synthesized perspectives—so you can actually think through complex areas rather than just store information.

We built this for people doing deep, long-running research (researchers, analysts, investors, founders, autodidacts) where the hard part isn’t finding sources, but keeping a coherent mental model as the space evolves.

Would love feedback, especially from people who’ve tried to maintain research across weeks or months.

Show HN: LLM-powered What If text gen for fun

https://getreplay.app/

Hi builders! I was falling asleep when the idea for this project came to me. So, I've decided to vibecode it via Lovable to the best of my ability. This is a personal/inspirational project, but I've tried to make it as good as possible given the constraints.

Tech Stack:

- Frontend: React 18 + Vite + Tailwind CSS

- AI: Gemini 2.5 Flash (via Lovable AI Gateway) for low-latency, empathetic coaching (to keep costs low and ship fast)

- Infrastructure: Lovable Cloud / Supabase

TL;DR: An LLM-powered "What If" view of your potential. Built for fun, inspiration, and research.

I would appreciate your feedback, guys. Thank you in advance!

P.S. Initial post got bugged, so I had to recreate it without a hyperlink.

Show HN: AI Swarm v3 – Self-host your own headless AI agents

Website: https://ai-swarm.dev GitHub: https://github.com/ai-swarm-dev/ai-swarm

Hey everyone, I just released v3 of AI Swarm.

It is basically a way to host your own Claude Code or Gemini agents on your own infrastructure. I built it because I wanted to be able to build and deploy features for my apps from my phone or IDE, without having to watch it create the code and being unable to use it while it's deploying and fixing bugs for 30 minutes. I took inspiration from Kilo Code's Cloud Agents and decided to build it myself. It runs in Docker and uses Temporal for workflow orchestration.

Main Features: - Self-Hosted: Deploy to your own Linux box running your apps or dev environment. It can deploy to remote servers via SSH. - Claude Code and Gemini CLI: Built-in support for both, including Z.ai API keys for Claude. Looking for feedback on other tools and subscriptions. - Pro/Max Support: You can use your Claude Pro/Max or Gemini AI subscription with it (just have to sign in manually to each worker after deployment). - IDE or Web Chat: Pass tasks from your IDE or chat directly in the portal to have agents code, test, and deploy. - Sovereign Auth: Uses Passkeys and CLI magic links instead of external providers. - Safety and Verification: Separate dev container for build tests before deployment, and a Playwright sidecar for screenshot verification after deployment, with support for web apps gated behind authentication (Basic Auth support). - Multi-Project Workspace Support: Just select which project you want to chat about on the portal from the dropdown menu.

It supports Caddy, Nginx, and Traefik for setup, and has a local-only mode for web access.

I am really looking for some feedback from the community. If you are interested in self-hosting your AI development workflows, please check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks. -plurb-unus
