WebP has been around for a while now, offering better compression and performance over JPEG and PNG. So why haven't more apps fully adopted it yet? Are there hidden compatibility issues, performance downsides, or just inertia in the industry? Curious to hear if the switch to WebP has made a difference for anyone here, especially for mobile performance.

Hi HN! I develop Monadic Chat, an open-source framework that connects language models to a Linux environment via Docker. It allows AI agents to execute code, run Jupyter notebooks, and perform web scraping in a secure, sandboxed environment.

Key features: - Sandboxed environment for AI code execution - Support for multiple language models - Easy integration with existing Docker workflows

I built this because I needed a reliable way to let AI agents interact with a real computing environment while maintaining security and reproducibility. Some possible use cases include: - Helping developers debug code with AI assistance - Automating data analysis workflows - Creating and running educational programming tutorials

I would appreciate your thoughts on potential use cases, areas for improvement, and how to better characterize its features in the documentation.

You can check it out here: https://yohasebe.github.io/monadic-chat

Thank you for your feedback!

My friend was struggling with understanding dashboard insights, so I built an AI agent that helps him talk with his database and get a better understanding of his data. Currently, it not only writes simple queries but also generates end-to-end reports and charts for visual understanding. If there is a problem or an insight that hinders growth, it identifies the issue and reports it instead of simply generating the charts. I built this as my side project. I'm not sure whether people want this solution, so I created a waiting list.

There are so many great Ask HN threads asking about book recommendations, so I combined all of them and extracted the books mentioned in them.

I hope you find a good book! Feedback is welcome :)

Hi, I've been building Lighthouse for the better part of a year, and now seems to be a good opportunity to do a Show HN.

Lighthouse is a RSS feed reader, and also supports subscribing to newsletters.

It works really well for personal content curation, because differently from most readers, new content first arrives in the Lighthouse Inbox, where articles are either bookmarked (to move to library) or archived.

The assumption is that even if you subscribed to a feed or newsletter, it doesn't mean you want to read everything they post. So an additional curation step helps keeping unwanted content out.

Would love to know what you think about it!
