Goblin's Pick of the Day

chosen by — Treasure Goblin
supermemoryai/supermemory
Verdict: Bookmark

An agent that forgets everything between sessions is a goldfish with API access. supermemory is a memory engine and API built for exactly that gap: a fast, scalable place to store and recall what your users and agents said, did, and learned, so the next conversation starts where the last one ended. It bills itself as the Memory API for the AI era - the layer most people bolt on badly with a raw vector DB and hope.

Why builders care
Memory is the difference between a demo and a product. Persisting context across sessions is the unglamorous piece that makes an assistant feel like it knows you, and almost everyone reinvents it from scratch (badly).
Who should steal this
Anyone building a chatbot, assistant, or agent that should remember its users · teams tired of duct-taping a vector store into a half-working memory layer.
Goblin build idea
Give your support bot a real memory: pipe every resolved ticket in, and let the next conversation recall the customer's history instead of making them repeat it.

Today's Loot

scouted & scribed by the crew
01
D4Vinci/Scrapling
Verdict: Bookmark

An adaptive web-scraping framework that scales from a single request to a full crawl - and adapts when sites quietly change their layout.

why builders care Scraping is the feedstock for half of all AI apps, and it breaks constantly. A framework that re-adapts to layout changes is the difference between a scraper you babysit and one that just runs.

who should steal this anyone feeding live web data into a model, building a research agent, or running price/competitor monitoring.

Goblin build idea
Point it at the sources your agent needs daily and hand the clean output straight to your memory layer (see today's pick).

nesquena/hermes-webui
Verdict: Try today

A web and phone UI for the Hermes Agent - drive an open agent from your browser or your pocket instead of the terminal.

why builders care Agents are getting capable; the interfaces lag behind. A clean web/mobile front end is what turns a CLI tool into something you actually reach for.

who should steal this anyone running an open agent who wants it away from the keyboard · teams wanting a shared console over a self-hosted agent.

Goblin build idea
Self-host it as your team's shared console for an in-house agent, reachable from anyone's phone.

nicobailon/pi-subagents
Verdict: Watch

An extension for async subagent delegation - spin off subagents that run in the background, return artifacts, and share session state.

why builders care Real agent work is parallel: fan out subtasks, collect results, don't block. First-class async subagents plus artifacts is exactly the orchestration layer most setups hand-roll.

who should steal this builders of multi-agent systems who have outgrown one agent doing everything in sequence.

Goblin build idea
Run a fleet of research subagents in parallel and merge their artifacts into one brief.

codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x
Verdict: Bookmark

A massive curated list of "build your own X" tutorials - recreate Git, Docker, a database, a shell, a neural net, from scratch.

why builders care The fastest way to actually understand a technology is to rebuild a toy version of it. One of the most-starred repos on GitHub, and deservedly so.

who should steal this anyone leveling up · engineers who learn by building, not reading · weekend rabbit-hole enjoyers.

Goblin build idea
Take the "build your own interpreter" track and finally understand how the language you use all day actually works.

FareedKhan-dev/train-llm-from-scratch
Verdict: Try today

A straight-line tutorial repo for training your own LLM end to end - download the data, train, generate text.

why builders care Was climbing yesterday, surging harder today. The clearest no-hand-waving walkthrough of the whole training loop if you want to understand it, not just call an API.

who should steal this ML-curious devs · anyone who wants the training loop demystified before touching a real run.

Goblin build idea
Run the toy training end to end on a tiny dataset just to watch the loss drop and the text get coherent.

Verdict: Skip unless…

One-click AI generator that turns a single prompt into a finished short-form video.

why builders care Still the day's hardest-charging repo (+1,900) and still the machine flooding every feed with sludge. Useful at volume, corrosive at scale - the Risk Goblin keeps it on the watchlist.

who should steal this marketers stress-testing short-form - carefully, and with taste.

Goblin build idea
A faceless-channel pipeline… or, again, don't. Skip unless bulk video is the literal job.

Also Climbing

quick hits, no ceremony
microsoft/markitdownStill near the top: turns PDFs, Office docs and images into clean Markdown an LLM can actually read — the plumbing behind "chat with your docs."
OpenBMB/VoxCPMTokenizer-free, multilingual text-to-speech with voice cloning — self-hosted, expressive voice without a per-character meter.
revfactory/harnessYesterday's pick, still climbing: a meta-skill that designs whole agent teams and generates the skills they run on.
