Show HN: CapOS – A responsibility-gated OS stack with signed process execution

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 9:53pm

We’ve built a functional prototype for an operating system layer that rejects the classic trust model.

Every process, network access, and system action is explicitly scope-bound to a signed capability token (CapToken) – backed by a cryptographic wallet and domain-specific responsibility structure.

Key Components: CapToken authentication for all system actions

CapAuditDaemon (feedback, incidents, signed system state)

Feedback replaces control – the system acts on effect, not permission

CapNFTs as soulbound responsibility certificates

VPN routing via chain-verified nodes (CapVPNRegistry.sol)

Whitebook & mathematical formalization published on Zenodo

No ACLs, no root, no anonymous processes. Only signed, trackable responsibility. Period.

Feedback kills control. Power demands responsibility.

Show HN: I built an eBook reader that helps you remember what you read

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 9:50pm

Hey guys, I'm a CS student who loves reading technical books and papers but I realized I was reading really passively. I'd fly through dense material, feel like I understood it, and forget it all within a few pages.

I finished OSTEP less than a week ago and already struggle to recall how locks are implemented. That's why I built Readspace to stop passively reading and finally make the knowledge stick.

It’s an ebook reader with built-in active recall that prompts me every couple pages to explain what I just read. I can respond using the Feynman technique or engage in Socratic-style questioning, and the AI grades my answer and helps you refine it step by step. I wanted an SRS system that actually felt good to use—so I built one directly into the reading flow. The flashcards are AI-generated from what I find important, and they’re scheduled using FSRS.

Readspace has honestly made my reading 10x more meaningful. I’ve stopped cramming for classes because I finally have a systematic setup to learn efficiently.

Would love some feedback or advice—this is the first serious project I’ve shipped!

Show HN: Interview-Guru – Real-Time Voice AI Mock Interviews

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 9:45pm

Hey all,

I built Interview-Guru, an AI-powered mock interview tool that helps you practice crafting a story, organizing your thoughts, and improving with feedback and examples — all through real-time voice conversations.

Having always struggling with the behavioral portion of the interview, I have found that most new AI tools were either push-to-talk or purely text-based, which adds too much friction to realistic practice. I wanted something that feels like you're talking to a real interviewer — natural, responsive, and pressure-tested.

Interview-Guru covers a wide range of behavioral and situational questions across different industries and roles. It listens, analyzes, and gives actionable suggestions on how to strengthen your responses.

So I have been working on this side-project for awhile, but only felt possible recently with how far stt, tts, and LLMs have come.

You can try it out at interview-guru.io/playground. Working on new features/bug fixes and would love any suggestions or feedback in the comments.

Thanks!
