Hi HN! I’m Omar from Mutable.ai. We want to introduce Auto Wiki (https://wiki.mutable.ai/), which lets you generate a Wiki-style website to document your codebase. Citations link to code, with clickable references to each line of code being discussed. Here are some examples of popular projects: React: https://wiki.mutable.ai/facebook/react Ollama https://wiki.mutable.ai/jmorganca/ollama D3: https://wiki.mutable.ai/d3/d3 Terraform: https://wiki.mutable.ai/hashicorp/terraform Bitcoin:…

Hey HN! We're Charles and Dean, and we're building Stage: a code review tool that guides you through reading a PR step by step, instead of piecing together a giant diff. Here's a demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/stage-demo-1pph. You can play around with some example PRs here: https://stagereview.app/explore. Teams are moving faster than ever with AI these days, but more and more engineers are merging changes that they don't really understand. The bottleneck isn't writing code anymore, it's reviewing it. We're two engineers who got frustrated with…

Hey HN! This is Divit from Almanac (YC S26). We built CodeAlmanac, a wiki for your coding agents that updates as you talk to them. It is open-source, local, and free. Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNQWV3TFBWM Your CC/Codex conversations contain a LOT of knowledge that is forgotten because it was never documented. People have their own methods of documenting their chats. We used to make Markdown files like MANUAL.md and DESIGN.md, and would prompt Claude to keep them updated. The problem is that these files quickly become outdated and messy, and there’s…

Hey HN, I’m Henry, cofounder and CTO at Span (https://span.app/). Today we’re launching AI Code Detector, an AI code detection tool you can try in your browser. The explosion of AI generated code has created some weird problems for engineering orgs. Tools like Cursor and Copilot are used by virtually every org on the planet – but each codegen tool has its own idiosyncratic way of reporting usage. Some don’t report usage at all. Our view is that token spend will start competing with payroll spend as AI becomes more deeply ingrained in how we build software, so understanding how…

Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

Show HN: Context42 - AI-powered style guide generator for your codebase Hey HN, I've been building Context42 to solve a problem that's been bugging me: getting AI to write code like me, and helping disseminate coding best practices. The core insight is simple - your existing code is already your best style guide. Instead of debating tabs vs spaces or where to put your curly braces, Context42 analyzes your actual codebase and generates comprehensive style documentation using Google's Gemini AI. Here's what makes it special: 1. *Language-aware analysis* - It groups files by language and…
