Show HN: Janus – MCP that collects context from browser and terminal

Hacker News - Fri, 06/12/2026 - 11:51am

I'm finding myself more and more often typing what happened in my web app or terminal (or both) to prompt coding agent what to do. A string of interactions, clicked here, type that, some API calls, and console complaints, put that all mentally together and then prompts Claude.

I am making this tool to make interaction gathering easier. It records user interaction in browser, make a prompt that describes what happened, send the events to a local MCP server that Claude can access. A command line tool that streams terminal output, in my case, server log, to the same MCP so claude can access both what happened in browser and terminal as a stream of events.

The idea is to emphasize that ideas often come from product, in contrast to mainstream belief that idea leads to product. The end is the start. Hence the project name janus.

It is still very early in development so would love to hear some feedback.

Responding to Plausibility of Alien Visitors

Hacker News - Fri, 06/12/2026 - 11:45am

An open letter response to https://www.the-independent.com/tech/aliens-earth-interstellar-travel-b2990784.html

> the plausibility of alien visitors

I have been contacted by and have had numerous discussions with those so called “Greys”. As have countless thousands of humans before me, who’s insights appear in influential works of fiction, along with cultures spreading conflations and lies.

> U.S. government was secretly in possession of

I will account to this truth. The US maintained live specimens, even breeding over forty to adolescence. Every last living specimen have been destroyed through a coup of conscience. That final act occurred at the same time as the symbolic “storm Area 51” meme. They were held in several subterranean active nuclear launch facilities.

> The tyranny of distance

These have lived upon the Earth for 10,000 years. They left their home world over a million years ago, only after it was no longer sustainable of life. They travelled for so long and far, as cosmic nomads, they honestly do not remember what system they are from.

> so does the risk of catastrophic accidents or system malfunctions that could jeopardize the mission.

Nonsense. These may travel casually near the speed of light as easily and safely as a fit human could sprint.

There is no “mission”, these live full lives comfortably packed away in their vessels, which are bio organic living crafts themselves. They experience reality through their consciousness, augmented and extended by their technology.

> potential for structural damage will restrict the spacecraft’s peak velocity.

Living crafts self heal.

> 10% of the speed of light – as a realistic cruise velocity.

They casually travel at around 80% of the speed of light. They say they can go much faster, yet this speed is efficiently ideal.

They have two forms of propulsion. In deep space they rotate counterweights toward the speed of light (increasing their mass proportionally) and bias “falling” in the desired direction. In planetary environments they pulse modulate enormous voltage differentials.

> would require fuel equivalent to 150 times the mass of the ship itself. > optimized fuel tank structures … biggest engineering challenges of the entire mission.

Not true. They have mastered true fusion capabilities, harvesting gamma rays at high potential. These can “fill up” in pretty much any system along the way, where gas giants are plentiful. Orphaned planetoids are also more common than cosmologists suspect.

Fuel may be chemically and mass density compressed. Their ships are like whales. They are living organisms that can self modify changing composition on demand. Fuel is like fat stores.

> resilient engineering materials. Surviving the onslaught would require no less than a flying fortress with complex magnetic shielding.

Like nanobiofeedback flesh. Most of their advanced technology involves adept manipulation of intense magnetic fields.

> analogous to shopping for a car online. > Any prospective alien visitors must also have sufficient cognitive ability, technological maturity, physical resources, collective desire and proximity to Earth.

Betraying modern man thinking. Many of these points have the same answer, living structure that can self adapt.

> Where are they from?

They honestly don’t remember. They left a dying world over a million years ago.

> What do they want?

Nothing. To live, to explore, to be a part of the universe.

> What are they made of?

Self engineered biological material. They’re tough and durable yet mortal and sensitive.

> “How on Earth did they get here?”

You will believe this account least of all!
