Show HN: I built an AI-assisted roadmap tool to prioritize SaaS features

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 9:49pm

I build SaaS products and WordPress plugins. One recurring problem kept coming up.

Feature requests everywhere.

Twitter replies. Emails. Support tickets. Random Slack messages. DMs from users.

The problem is not collecting feature requests. The problem is deciding what actually matters.

Votes alone don't solve that. The loudest users win.

So I built BuildVote.

It is a public roadmap + feature voting system, but with an intelligence layer that tries to understand the context behind feedback (yes, it is a constant improvement of teaching the system).

Instead of only counting votes, the system analyzes comments and feedback signals to help identify patterns and priorities.

The goal is simple: Help product builders prioritize features with better signal, not just noise.

Current features: - Public roadmap with feature voting - Context-aware feedback collection - AI-assisted prioritization insights - Changelog and roadmap transparency - Simple embed / hosted roadmap

The target users are: - Indie SaaS founders - WordPress plugin developers - small product teams

I built it because I wanted something I would actually use for my own products.

Still early. I'm still working on many things. In fact our product roadmap is the show-and-tell of the product.

I would love feedback from builders here.

Show HN: Automated Testing for AI Agents

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 9:47pm

Hi Hacker News! We're launching Zalor, an agent testing platform.

Agents often break when you tweak system prompts, swap models, or add tools. Zalor automatically generates test scenarios and evaluates your agent so you know it's reliable before deploying to production.

We currently support the OpenAI Agents SDK and are onboarding other frameworks. A GitHub integration is coming so you can get feedback on every update.

Looking forward to hearing feedback from people building agents.

Show HN: Aidevshield NPM audit for AI coding tool workflows

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 9:44pm

I built aidevshield, a free open-source security scanner that catches vulnerabilities in AI coding tool configurations things like Cursor, Copilot, and Cline setups.

The problem: AI coding assistants are becoming attack surfaces. In the past year we've seen real exploits:

Clinejection (Dec 2025): Prompt injection via GitHub issue titles → AI triage bot executes shell commands → malicious npm package published to 5M users tj-actions/changed-files (Mar 2025): Tag repointing attack hit 23,000 repos via pull_request_target Shai-Hulud (2025): First self-propagating npm worm using postinstall hooks Rules File Backdoor (Feb 2025): Hidden Unicode characters in .cursorrules for invisible prompt injection Existing tools cover parts of this — Zizmor and actionlint for GitHub Actions, Socket.dev for npm — but nothing scans across all four domains: workflows + AI configs + npm packages + prompt injection.

aidevshield does. One command, zero dependencies beyond js-yaml, fully offline:

npx aidevshield scan . What it detects:

Dangerous GitHub Actions patterns (wildcard users, untrusted event field interpolation, unpinned third-party actions) pull_request_target with untrusted checkout (Pwn Request pattern) Malicious npm lifecycle scripts (postinstall curl | sh, node -e inline exec) Hidden Unicode in AI config files (.cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md) Wildcard tool permissions (Bash(), Edit()) Exposed .env files without .gitignore protection Cache poisoning + credential exposure combos Outputs text, JSON, or SARIF (for GitHub Code Scanning integration).

56 end-to-end tests. Every detection maps to a documented real-world attack.

MIT licensed. No signup, no paywall.

Happy to answer questions about the threat landscape or implementation.

Show HN: A deterministic ecosystem simulator for long-horizon AI agents

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 9:43pm

Ten years ago I built a small evolutionary toy experiment with two types of agents: selfish and cooperative “ducks”.

At first, selfish strategies dominated. But when agents were given memory — the ability to remember who helped them — cooperation suddenly became stable under resource scarcity.

That experiment stayed in the back of my mind for years.

Recently I started rebuilding the idea from scratch as a larger system:

BiomeSyn

https://biomesyn.com/

Instead of evaluating AI on static tasks, the goal is to explore long-horizon adaptive environments where agents must:

• gather resources • survive environmental pressure • compete with other agents • adapt over many generations

The system is deterministic, so experiments can be reproduced across seeds — which makes it possible to treat it as a benchmark for adaptive agents.

The bigger question I’m interested in:

> What happens when intelligence is evaluated inside a world that keeps evolving?

Many current benchmarks measure short-episode performance. But real adaptive systems must operate in open-ended environments.

BiomeSyn is still an early research sandbox, but I’m curious whether environments like this could become useful for studying:

• evolutionary computation • long-horizon RL agents • multi-agent ecosystems • adaptive AI systems

Would be interested to hear thoughts from people working on agents, simulation platforms, or large-scale AI systems.

Show HN: ThreatAlert – anonymous community incident map, no sign-up required

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 9:42pm

Built a PWA where anyone can drop a pin on a live shared map to report nearby incidents — crime, fire, disasters, civil unrest, infrastructure failures.

No accounts, no tracking. IPs are one-way HMAC-hashed before storage and never logged raw. Community votes incidents from pending → active so noise gets filtered out automatically. Each category has its own TTL so the map stays fresh.

Stack: Next.js 16, Firebase (Firestore + Cloud Functions + FCM), Leaflet for the map, D3.js for a 3D globe view. Fully open source.

Show HN: Whiplash – macOS menu bar app to track concurrent CLI agent sessions

Hacker News - Thu, 03/05/2026 - 9:39pm

Whiplash sits in your macOS menu bar and gives you a live overview of all your concurrent agent sessions and their status across iTerm, Ghostty, or Terminal. A little open source, utility that I hope helps you too.
