Peak rank: \#54

Time in Top 10: 0\.0 hours

Hacksnap ranks recent stories first, then orders each group by points\. Peak rank uses all retained observations\. Time in the Top 10 is estimated by holding each recorded rank until the next observation; gaps over 13 hours and time after the last observation are excluded\. Movement between observations is unknown\.

246 recorded rank observations from 2026\-09\-19T18:34:59\.226976\+00:00 to 2026\-10\-10T23:01:00\.95027\+00:00\.

The Show HN aims to make AI workflows more transparent and comparable, but the supplied discussion highlights a central tension: contribution via MCP and public sharing raise security, privacy, and proprietary\-workflow concerns, so adoption may depend on safer and less invasive ways to share setups\.

## The brief

Show HN for mysetup\.ai, a community site where people can share and compare their AI setups, workflows, tools, and agent harnesses\. The author was motivated by seeing snippets of other builders' setups on X and wanting a dedicated place to learn what tools, skills, and systems they use\. The page includes example profiles and invites visitors to explore setups, share their own, and keep it current\.

- mysetup\.ai is presented as a dedicated community space for sharing AI setups and learning from others' workflows\.
- The author says seeing engineers and makers post setup snippets on X left them wondering what tools, agent harnesses, skills, and graph engineering others use\.
- The site invites users to explore setups, share their own setup, and keep it up to date and easy to share with friends and colleagues\.
- Example setups include Cursor and Lovable with Wave terminal, Omarchy on a ThinkPad with OpenCode\-zen, Grok TUI, Herdr, and NotebookLM API, and a self\-hosted CRCMZ platform built with Claude Code\.
- The author acknowledges not having their own AI setup figured out and hopes the project helps people feel more comfortable that not everyone has it solved\.

## Discussion themes

### MCP contribution path raises security concerns

vegadw says the project is self\-selective because contributing requires using MCP, and they refuse to connect an arbitrary MCP server or their GitHub account\. xnx agrees and says they will not touch the instructions at mysetup\.ai/connect\.

### Proprietary workflows are seen as a job\-security asset

A self\-described 20\-year industry veteran advises against sharing AI workflows, arguing that developer productivity and job security now depend on proprietary workflows and that it no longer makes sense to share that knowledge publicly\.

### Tailscale is recommended for securing internal AI tools

saadn92 says their setup heavily uses Tailscale to secure everything because many tools are internal and need protection, calling Tailscale highly recommended for securing networks\.

### The sharing mechanism itself is questioned

xnx notes they do not use Codex, Claude, or Pi, while mixtureoftakes says there must be a much better way to share a setup, suggesting dissatisfaction with the current contribution approach\.
