Show HN: Forrus – A Bridge for Forgejo and Cirrus CI

Wed, 02/11/2026 - 12:59am

I use Forgejo for personal projects but wanted a managed CI with higher compute. Cirrus CI[0] only supports GitHub, so I built a small bridge that listens to Forgejo webhooks, triggers Cirrus builds, and syncs commit status back.

Repo: https://codeberg.org/chenghui-lee/forrus

Public instance: https://forrus.lchenghui.com/

It currently supports:

- push + PR builds based on .cirrus.yml file

- automatic polling for build status

- status reporting back to Forgejo/Gitea

Limitations:

- doesn't support Cirrus CI's `changes_include`

- Starlark is not supported (yet)

Happy to answer any questions!

Show HN: Idea Forge – Multi-model product validation(validated an OpenClaw idea)

Wed, 02/11/2026 - 12:43am

I built a product validation service that runs startup ideas through 4 frontier models (GPT-5.2, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet) across 16 perspectives to surface disagreements and blind spots.

Why this exists: Most founders get either cheerleading ("great idea!") or generic advice. I wanted adversarial multi-model validation—where models argue with each other about your idea's viability.

How it works:

1. Research phase: 6 platforms (Reddit, G2, HN, Twitter, Product Hunt, YouTube) for competitor analysis + pain validation

2. Fanout: 16 expert perspectives (4 roles × 4 models: Builder, Skeptic, Operator, Growth)

3. Synthesis: Consolidate into 5 deliverables (Executive Summary, PRD, Scorecard, Synthesis Notes, Validation Plan)

4. Delivery: PDF report in 24 hours, $39

Sample validation: Agent Ops (OpenClaw workflow observability) - GREENLIGHT, 7.5/10 confidence. Models agreed on clear pain point, defensible moat via OpenClaw integration. Sample report: https://ideas.sparkngine.com

First paying customer delivered tonight: [Hotel marketing analytics client]. Verdict: PROCEED WITH CAUTION (5.8/10). Real assessment—not cheerleading. Flagged small TAM, long sales cycles, identity resolution risk as key blockers.

Tech stack: Built on OpenClaw for multi-agent orchestration, uses Brave Search API for research, Gemini Pro for synthesis, mix of frontier models for diverse perspectives.

Asking HN: Does this actually help founders make better decisions, or am I solving the wrong problem? Is $39 the right price point for rigorous validation?

Show HN: I taught GPT-OSS-120B to see using Google Lens and OpenCV

Wed, 02/11/2026 - 12:40am

I built an MCP server that gives any local LLM real Google search and now vision capabilities - no API keys needed.

The latest feature: google_lens_detect uses OpenCV to find objects in an image, crops each one, and sends them to Google Lens for identification. GPT-OSS-120B, a text-only model with zero vision support, correctly identified an NVIDIA DGX Spark and a SanDisk USB drive from a desk photo. Also includes Google Search, News, Shopping, Scholar, Maps, Finance, Weather, Flights, Hotels, Translate, Images, Trends, and more. 17 tools total. Two commands: pip install noapi-google-search-mcp && playwright install chromium GitHub: https://github.com/VincentKaufmann/noapi-google-search-mcp PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/noapi-google-search-mcp/ Booyah!
