Products that do what CodeBeam: The missing bridge between browser and IDE does
I built CodeBeam to solve two core developer frustrations: constant context-switching between browser and IDE, and the tedious process of dealing with errors across different languages and frameworks. What makes CodeBeam different is its universal adaptability. It watches your clipboard with customizable directives for automatic file operations, while simultaneously monitoring your logs for errors using pattern-based detection that works with any language or framework. When it spots an error, it automatically generates AI-ready prompts with rich context, making debugging significantly…

Hello everyone, We just launched a side-project we have been building over the last couple of months -- Coderoulette is a pair programming game for developers, like a Chatroulette for hackers. We match developers in real time and give them coding challenges they have to solve doing pair programming using a collaborative IDE and video conference. You can check it out here: https://www.coderoulette.com/ We also published an article explaining how we built it. I'd love to hear your feedback.…

VSCode was my daily driver for years, but once I started running several coding agents across multiple projects at the same time, it got in the way. One workspace with terminals in the bottom tray, no idea which agent was doing what and I found myself needing all the code editing tools less and less. So I built my own IDE around that workflow. Terminals are a first-class citizen, every project stays alive in the background with visual statuses. Close the workspace and come back weeks later, everything is still in its place. I've been using it for weeks and it's a big productivity boost. The…

I built Frame to better manage the projects I develop with Claude Code, to bring a standard to my Claude Code projects, to improve project and task planning, and to reduce context and memory loss. In its current state, Frame works entirely locally. You don’t need to enter any API keys or anything like that. You can run Claude Code directly using the terminal inside Frame. Why am I not using existing IDEs? Simply because, for me, I no longer need them. What I need is an interface centered around the terminal, not a code editor. I initially built something that allowed me to place terminals in…

Hey HN, I built a custom IDE in the browser as part of the Open Data Capture platform. It is based on the Monaco editor, which also powers VS Code. Unfortunately, there are very few examples online showing how to use Monaco with more advanced features (e.g., TypeScript/JSX support, Prettier integration, multiple files), so I figure this could be helpful for some folks out there. I built this to allow semi-technical users to design instruments (e.g., forms and interactive tasks) for our data capture platform. It includes a custom build toolchain, based on the esbuild-wasm build, that…

Hi HN, I built *CodeDrift*, a CLI tool that detects bugs commonly introduced by AI coding assistants like Copilot, Cursor and ChatGPT. Over the last year I noticed that AI tools often generate code that compiles correctly, passes linting and looks reasonable in code review but still contains subtle issues. Some common examples I kept seeing: * async `forEach` loops that never await promises * missing authorization checks (IDOR) * hallucinated dependencies that don’t exist * stack traces leaking sensitive information * request data used without validation These bugs often slip past ESLint,…

I am excited to introduce my solo project, a platform built with the frontend development community in mind. It's an interactive environment aimed at refining debugging skills through exposure to real-world bugs. This project stems from the need for a hands-on, practical method of learning to debug. The site features a variety of intentional bugs for users to solve, mirroring the types of challenges faced in professional settings. Over the coming weeks, I will be adding many more exercises and new features to enhance your learning experience further. Check out CodeMender at…

Hey HN, Lich is a worktree aware local dev stack orchestrator. Simply put, it allows you to run multiple copies of your development stack from different worktrees with different code in parallel without going insane. I built Lich because I’ve found myself increasingly using multiple parallel coding agents for development work. I wanted my coding agents to each have independent copies of my development stack to be able to test and validate their own work well. I found that trying to do this totally broke the way I have normally setup tooling for local development. Ports conflict, the UI from…

Hi there, I built a React code editor component that also compiles, executes and returns the outputs of the program written in it (via pyodide/webassembly). I believe that this is a useful package for those building projects with web-based code editors. Expanding the library to be more flexible + have greater language support is a goal for the future. Hope it helps someone out there - please feel free to reach out if I can assist. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
