Show HN: Mojibake – A low-level Unicode library written in C
I've written Mojibake because I don't like the other Unicode libraries for Unicode support. It consists of only two amalgamation files: mojibake.h and mojibake.c. I've added all the most important Unicode algorithms, such as normalization, case conversion, segmentation, bidirectional text, collation, confusable, and others. I regularly test it in these OSes: Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Windows 11. You can find a WASM demo on that site of all the public API functions and the documentation. If you want to participate, feel free to do it. Any kind of help is welcome. Check the CONTRIBUTING.md and API.md files in the GitHub repository for instructions on how to do it.

Show HN: Libretto PR agents – Automatically fix failing playwright scripts
Libretto PR agents is a free TypeScript library for maintaining Playwright browser automations. Add one line of code to your existing Playwright scripts and it lets an agent automatically open GitHub PRs fixing the script when it fails. A few months ago we released Libretto, a CLI + coding-agent skill for building deterministic browser automations. The idea was that for many browser workflows, especially repetitive business workflows, you don’t need an AI agent making decisions at runtime. You want deterministic Playwright scripts that are inspectable, faster to run, and much cheaper than repeatedly calling an AI browser agent. That helped us generate Playwright and network-request-based scripts, but websites can often change which breaks deterministic scripts. So maintaining a variety of scripts at scale is a headache. If you already have a bunch of functioning Playwright scripts, the last thing you want is to rewrite everything around a new runtime AI framework like browser-use or st

AWS Continuum to Enable Agentic Code Security for Enterprises
Amazon Web Services has recently introduced AWS Continuum, a new integrated security platform to automate the discovery, enforcement, and remediation of security issues across codebases, dependencies, and applications. AWS Continuum launches with four agentic capabilities, aiming at the entire vulnerability lifecycle: penetration testing, code review, threat modelling, and code vulnerabilities. By Gianmarco Nalin
