Products that do what AutoBashCraft – a tool for automated Markdown screencast generation does
Hello HN, Around New Year's I started a personal project called AutoBashCraft (ABC), aiming to simplify the creation of screencasts from bash code blocks in markdown files. I needed to create a lot of markdown files explaining workflows and code. I wanted to make the text-heavy files more interesting and thought of screencasts. There are many great tools to record terminal sessions. Then I found the asciinema-rec-script (https://github.com/zechris/asciinema-rec_script) by Chris Ottrey that creates screencasts of bash scripts that look like a record of a terminal session…

CodeWeaver is a command-line tool designed to weave your codebase into a single, easy-to-navigate Markdown document. It recursively scans a directory, generating a structured representation of your project's file hierarchy and embedding the content of each file within code blocks. This tool simplifies codebase sharing, documentation, and integration with AI/ML code analysis tools by providing a consolidated and readable Markdown output.

Hi HN! I was feeling incredibly frustrated with my struggles in context-switching and writing documentation, so I decided to take action and find a solution. I wrote a simple tool for Alfred and Raycast that helps me be more mindful when switching between tasks, which can even prevent some of those switches. Plus, I can jot down quick notes on each task as I go, making it easier to document everything once I’m finished. This tool is really simple with only 5 commands - tsr, tsn, tsl, tsv, tse tsr writes a new record tsn writes a new note tsl shows you the current task tsv builds a static…

Libretto (https://libretto.sh) is a Skill+CLI that makes it easy for your coding agent to generate deterministic browser automations and debug existing ones. Key shift is going from “give an agent a prompt at runtime and hope it figures things out” to: “Use coding agents to generate real scripts you can inspect, run, and debug”. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cDpIntmHAM. Docs start at https://libretto.sh/docs/get-started/introduction. We spent a year building and maintaining browser automations for EHR and payer portal…

As a teacher, we keep our slides as markdown files in git repos and want to build these automatically so they can be viewed online (or offline if needed). To achieve this, I have created MkSlides. This tool converts all markdown in a folder to slides generated with Reveal.js. The workflow is very similar to MkDocs. Install: `pip install mkslides` Building slides: `mkslides build` Live preview during editing: `mkslides serve` Comparison with other tools like marp, slidev, ...: - This tool is a single command and easy to integrate in CI/CD pipelines. - It only needs Python. - The workflow…

Hey HN, In this age of agentic coding I've found myself spending a lot of time reviewing markdown files. Whether it's plans or documentation that I've asked my agent to generate for me, it seems that I spend more time reading markdown than code. I've tried a few different solutions to make it easier to read such as Obsidian however I've found their Vault system to be quite limiting for this use case and I've found TUI solutions to not quite be as friendly to read as I've wanted so I made Marky. Marky is a lightweight desktop application that makes it incredibly easy to read and track your…

Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure…

My friends and I were complaining about having to decipher incomprehensible code one day and decided to pass the code through GPT to see if it could write easily understandable comments to help us out. It turns out that GPT can but it was still a hassle to generate comments for large files. So we decided to develop a basic web application that automatically integrates with your Github repository, generate comments, create a pull request and send you an email when it is all done. There is definitely a lot more that can be done but we wanted to gain feedback on whether this is a problem that…

Hi HN, I'm excited to share ClickRepeat, a tool I've been building to tackle the tedious, repetitive tasks we all face on our computers. The core idea is simple: you record yourself performing a task once (clicking, typing, navigating apps), and ClickRepeat's AI learns the workflow. Then, you can replay that exact automation anytime, locally or eventually in the cloud. Think of it like creating macros by demonstration, without needing to write scripts or deal with complex RPA setups. For example, you could automate: - Generating weekly reports by pulling data from different apps/sites.…

I got tired of manually reading through the hiring thread and automated it for myself using Github actions and GPT4o with structured data to extract data points I cared about. I also wrote about it if you're interested in reading how it was done here - https://amberwilliams.io/blogs/a6593b75-8cdd-4ae3-9a89-5dedb... Also follow up to use structured data here - https://amberwilliams.io/blogs/474b0361-cbc1-4fa5-b047-c042f...

Ladies and gentlemen of a Lisp persuasion, Clojurians and Clojuristas, followers of the paren and everyone else covetously eyeing the greener grass, I made an open-source thing that I would like to share with you. My elevator pitch is that it'll make you forget all about regular print debugging in 10 minutes straight. The slightly longer pitch is this: #>(tag'n'trace any Clojure(-Script) form to `tap>` and Portal with automatic last-input function replay on eval, instant re-render and hassle-free insertion of traced data into the REPL) And before I end up pasting half the README here in bits…
