I've found myself in need of a better way to organize resources like links, PDFs, and videos—a place to "dump" everything and be able to search or filter it later in a smart and productive way. I’ve seen all the hype around tools like Notion or Obsidian, and while they seem powerful, I’ve never been a fan. To be honest, they feel overwhelming to me.

Historically, I've gotten by with simple notes in my phone’s default app or a notes.txt on my computer. It’s low effort, and for the most part, it’s worked. But now that I’m juggling more resources, I could use something more organized, ideally a tool that could categorize, tag, and organize content intelligently without needing a ton of manual input.

I know there are ways to do this in Notion or Obsidian, but the setup requires a lot of curating and cognitive effort. That might be fine if I’m studying something in-depth, but at the moment, I just need a straightforward way to manage resources with minimal upkeep. A system that automatically tags, categorizes, and makes everything searchable by topic, subtopic, or type would be ideal.

Does a tool like this even exist? With so much advancement in tech, I figure something might be out there that does this intuitively. I’d love to hear what others are using and whether any tools have solved this problem for you.

We've built what we believe is the missing piece in AI development: an agent-agnostic middleware infrastructure that lets AI coding assistants run in parallel sandboxed environments.

Key technical features:

- Dynamic workspace provisioning with parallel sandbox environments - Connect to the workspace with VS Code - Full system interaction capabilities (shell, Git, LSP) - Resource-optimized cloud infrastructure - Enterprise-grade security and access controls

Why we put together this proof-of-concept:

Current AI coding agents are limited by working in single files or environments. We have a vision to enable agents to: - Spin up multiple sandboxes to test different solutions simultaneously - Access full development environments, not just single files - Run real-time tests - Scale compute resources efficiently

Our implementation addresses the core issues outlined in our CEO's recent analysis of AI coding infrastructure (https://go.daytona.io/ai-coding).

This is a proof of concept demonstrating how AI agents can work with proper infrastructure support. We're looking for feedback from the HN community, especially:

- Developers building AI coding assistants - Teams working on development environment tooling - Anyone interested in AI agent infrastructure standards

The code is open source and we welcome contributions. Happy to answer any technical questions!

--- Built at Daytona - we make dev environment tools

Google Maps doesn't want to give you just directions anymore.

Google Maps wants to do more than just give you directions. A new update coming to Android and iOS Google Maps apps will bring AI recommendations powered by Gemini and conversational reporting to Waze.

I've become increasingly concerned about the extensive amount of metadata Apple collects through my Apple ID (Apple Account now?)

My account dates back to the early 2010s and contains a large history Applecare interactions, device activations, but even stuff like legacy data from iTunes bookmarks.

I can see a record of every interaction, downloads, each redownload of already purchased apps, every time I activated a feature and deactivated one, along with all the location, full IP, device, the works. This is to be expected, but I'm surprised they still kept full strings of very old data.

I've been thinking about starting fresh by creating a new Apple ID for each device to limit the data generated and stored going forward.

However, a few doubts on how to approach it better:

What about my paid apps? Would setting up a "master account" for purchases and using Family Sharing be a good strategy? I wish I could transfer my previous purchases but it's impossible.

My main goal is to be able to delete data selectively over time, but Apple only seems to offer the option to delete everything (account and all) or leave it as is. I'd love to hear if anyone has experience with strategies for reducing data collection or dealing with this in a privacy-conscious way.

Happy Halloween!

I made a Dracula theme for the Django web framework's admin site.

This theme overrides the admin's default light and dark modes with custom Dracula versions.

Hope you like it!
