Show HN: TikTrotter – TikTok but for obscure travel trivia to beat doomscrolling
I'm trying to stop doomscrolling social media, so I made a website to help me.
I'm a huge traveler so I made a website that shows infinitely-scrolling obscure locations with interesting trivia in a TikTok-like manner.
I've been discovering a lot of cool places in the world and dropped my social media time a lot. The website is 100% free, no ads and no sign-up. Check it out if interested, I would appreciate some feedback.
Next step is to create a multiplayer trivia game where you can challenge your friends and see who knows more about the world.

Loops in AI Coding Agents
AI coding agents are powerful but shallow. They work great when the problem is linear, scoped, and easy to describe. But debugging is none of those things. The moment something subtle breaks, you fall into a loop. Prompt, response. Prompt, response. The agent forgets what it tried. It repeats itself. You start feeding it context just to keep it grounded. Eventually, you give up and fix the bug yourself.
It feels like watching GEB unfold in real time. The agent tries to reason about its own reasoning but gets lost inside its own frame. It has syntax, not semantics. The result is recursion without insight. A strange loop that cannot close.
I built Deebo to break that pattern. It is a separate agent that runs debugging sessions in parallel. It forks the codebase, creates branches, and tests different fixes at once. Every hypothesis is isolated. Every result is logged. You can plug it into Claude, Cline, or anything that supports the Model Context Protocol. It installs in one line. It does not hallucinate. It explores. And when it is wrong, you still learn something.
