FlowLens▲134Hi HN, We often run into this with coding agents like Claude Code: debugging turns into copy-pasting logs, writing long explanations, and sharing screenshots. FlowLens is an MCP server plus a Chrome extension that captures browser context (video, console, network, user actions, storage) and makes it available to MCP-compatible agents like Claude Code. You can try it here: https://magentic.ai/flowlens Any feedback—good, bad, or brutal—is welcome.

Hi HN, I'm Damien, the solo founder of Recompyle. Self-funded. As a JavaScript developer, I have been annoyed by the console.log not being practical enough, and the debugger being 'too slow'. So I made Recompyle to fix that. It's kind of a mix of the console and the debugger. Plus, some file parsing to automatically log the start of the functions of the files you are working on.

Stack Error is a pragmatic error handling library for Rust that provides helpful messages for debugging, and structured data for runtime error handling. Features: * Informative error messages: stack error messages and optionally add file/line context to your messages. This helps convey not just what went wrong, but also how it went wrong, making debugging faster. * Programmatic error handling: include optional error codes and URIs for robust runtime handling. * Library-Friendly: define custom error types easily while staying compatible with Rust’s error ecosystem. If designing good…

Requirement: - Excellent feedback during development - Debugging with source maps Method: I'm using these scripts in package.json. "scripts": { "di": "node-inspector -d=7000 -p=8000 --save-live-edit --hidden node_modules/", "ds1": "babel ./server -d ./build/server -s -w", "ds2": "nodemon --watch ./build/server --delay 100ms --debug=7000 ./build/server/main.js" }, Then run "npm run ds1; npm run ds2; npm run di" Why: I took some time to put this together, after navigating all the tools out there. I personally find this to be "correct". Thought I'd…

Took a stab at building my own string diffing JS package. I built an interactive demo for TypeIt’s website (https://typeitjs.com/build-your-own) a while back. The approach I took to handle user input necessitated a way to calculate the difference between the versions of a user’s text input. I searched around for a package to help me out and found a couple of good ones (like fast-diff), but I either didn’t really like their API or didn’t want to take on a huge new dependency. Instead, I thought I’d give it a shot myself (famous last words). I dove into it having no real formal…

AI coding assistants are productive but sloppy. They produce code that looks right but: - Imports packages that don't exist - Uses placeholder functions that do nothing - Leaks patterns from JavaScript, Java, Ruby into Python - Leaves behind dead code and duplicates - Uses mutable default arguments I built sloppylint to catch these "AI slop" patterns before they hit production. pip install sloppylint sloppylint . It detects 100+ patterns across categories: - Hallucinated imports (20% of AI imports reference non-existent packages) - Placeholder code (`pass`, `...`, `TODO`) - Wrong-language…

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 built this using semantic search and the ChatGPT API, which was just released the other day. What makes it special is it not only understands the code you're debugging, but also pulls in additional context like relevant documentation to help answer your questions and suggest code changes. Ultimately, my goal is to take the hassle out of pasting error messages into Google, finding a vaguely related StackOverflow post, and manually integrating the solution into your code.
