Show HN: Open-source zero-trust framework for AI agents- 12 services, all tested

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 7:01am

Author here. We've been building agent trust infrastructure for ~1 year (12 microservices for identity, behavior monitoring, data governance, etc). When the CSA published their Agentic Trust Framework spec, we realized our stack maps to all 5 elements — but the spec has no reference implementation. So we built one. What we added that the spec leaves open: - Maturity model runtime (agents earn autonomy through 5 promotion gates) - Policy-as-code segmentation engine (real-time access decisions) - Circuit breaker for incident response (auto-containment) Everything is MIT. You can clone the repo and run `npm test` — 25 contract validation tests. Repo: https://github.com/yogami/atf-reference-implementation Interactive demo: https://berlinailabs.de/atf-demo.html Happy to answer architecture questions.

Show HN: FederalGifts – What foreign governments give American officials

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 7:00am

Every year, foreign governments give gifts to US government officials — everything from jeweled swords to luxury watches to ornate rugs. Federal law requires these to be disclosed (and most go to the National Archives, since officials can't keep gifts worth over ~$480).

I built FederalGifts to make this data browsable and searchable. You can explore by:

- Individual gifts (with descriptions and estimated values)

- Recipients (which officials received the most?)

- Donor countries (which nations give the most lavishly?)

- Agencies

Some interesting finds: Saudi Arabia and UAE consistently give the most expensive gifts. The most common gifts are jewelry, decorative items, and books. The State Department receives the lion's share.

The data comes from the Federal Register and State Department disclosures — public information that's technically available but practically impossible to browse.

Built with Rails and open data. No login required, no tracking.

Show HN: Bypassed query layer of SQLite,accessed b-tree APIs for KV store

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 6:17am

I’ve been experimenting with using SQLite as a key–value store without going through the SQL layer.

SQLite’s B-Tree implementation is extremely mature and well-tested, but most access goes through the SQL compiler, VDBE, and query planner. I wanted to see what happens if you bypass all of that and interact directly with the B-Tree APIs.

The result is a small prototype KV store that:

Uses SQLite’s internal B-Tree interfaces directly

Avoids parsing, planning, and VDBE execution

Keeps SQLite’s ACID guarantees intact

In local benchmarks with mixed read/write workloads, this approach showed noticeably lower overhead compared to equivalent SQL-based access patterns.

please let me know if you face any bug, let me know area of improvements that i can add in it.

Show HN: I built an invoicing SaaS with AI-generated invoice templates

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 6:09am

Hey HN,

I'm a solo dev and I built Invocrea because I was tired of spending hours every month on invoicing. Most tools out there are bloated, expensive, or just ugly.

Invocrea lets you create and send professional invoices in under 30 seconds. The stack is Next.js + NestJS + MongoDB. The feature I'm most excited about: AI-generated invoice templates. You describe the style you want, and it generates a custom template for you. No more generic-looking invoices. What it does: - Create invoices/quotes with smart auto-completion - Track payments (paid, pending, overdue) in real-time - Automatic reminders for unpaid invoices - Professional PDF export with your branding - AI-powered template generation - Client management with full billing history It's free to start. If you want to try a paid plan, use code AVSE78 for 30% off. Would love your feedback on the product and the AI template generation. What would you improve?

Show HN: I made Sundaysub to help small startup create invoice for free

Hacker News - Mon, 02/09/2026 - 6:08am

Hello HN, I'm Vinz.

Based on my experience running a small design agency based on recurring monthly, i found a little issues with invoicing and subscription tracking for my clients, i was counting and create booklog manually on my notes and started to get a little headache with those repetitive works.

So i made Sundaysub, a little platform for me to create my invoice and save it easily. I don't have to create the product or write what product to deliver for several times, i can save it there. Also, i tried to improve the UI inn a POS-style format. On the left you can get lists of your products services, and you can record it in the order summary and complete the transactions.

I thought this is a helpful app that i've used personally for my agency, now i tried to open this app for free on public. Hope this would be helpful.
