Today's Show HN wave runs local-first and anti-agent
Today's Show HN wave runs local-first and anti-agent. @kolx's VidStudio at 259 points is a browser video editor that never uploads, @rileyt's Daemons at 55 points is a solo founder's explicit pivot away from agents, and @santiago-pl's GoModel at 168 points is a Go-native AI gateway for teams tired of LiteLLM's Python supply chain.
Copy Daemons' pivot shape — find a post-agent cleanup wedge (stale branches, leaked secrets, orphan background jobs) and ship it as a $9/mo CLI this weekend; the category has three entrants and zero paid leader.
"Post-agent cleanup" sounds like a real job but the buyer is the same overworked team that bought the agent; budgets for babysitting AI are slim compared to budgets for shipping AI.
