Show HN: Frugal Tokens Posts a Cost Explorer for Coding Agents 18 Hours Old, and Shoehorn Offers One-Command Quantization Down to Your Hardware
Two cost-pressure projects landed on Show HN within the same window. Frugal Tokens (35 points, 8 comments, 18 hours old) is a demo that explores spend and usage across multiple coding agents in one view; Shoehorn (46 points, 9 comments) quantizes an arbitrary model down until it fits the machine you have. Both are single-source launches with no independent verification of their numbers, but the pairing shows where builder anxiety currently sits: not capability, but what the capability costs to run.
