Hey HN! We're excited to introduce Codegen - the IDE for Refactors. Codegen leverages static analysis to parse your codebase "graph", then wraps this in a high-level python SDK to enable safe & instantaneous codemods. We bundle this with an online editor/execution environment and closely coupled chat assistant in an online IDE. We focus on programming tasks on huge enterprise codebases where: - the output state is known (and easy to verify) - the "blast radius" is large - the difficult part is getting your codebase into the right shape. Codegen provides an AI-accelerated workflow for…

Hey HN! We've just open-sourced Codegen (https://github.com/codegen-sh/codegen-sdk), a Python library for manipulating Python + JS/React codebases. Codegen was engineered backwards from real-world, large-scale codebase analysis + refactors we performed on multi-million-line enterprise codebases. It provides a scriptable interface to a powerful, multi-lingual language server built on Tree-sitter. We realized that many code transformation tasks that impact large teams - refactors, enforcing patterns, analyzing control flow - are fundamentally programmatic operations.…

Hi all, Super excited to share that I am building Dev-Docs, and I wanted to create a post to get other developers' thoughts. Background: Developers know how important it is to document their codebases, but often, it's an afterthought that ends up taking a lot of time and effort. That's where Dev-Docs comes in - a solution that helps developers document as they code, making the process easier and more efficient. Features: Dev-Docs handles both internal documentation for teams and external documentation around APIs and codebases for customers and partners. Internal Documentation: Dev-Docs…

Hi HN, Working with multiple projects, I got tired of re-explaining our complex multi-node system to LLMs. Documentation helped, but plain text is hard to search without indexing and doesn't work across projects. I built Linggen to solve this. My Workflow: I use the Linggen VS Code extension to "init my day." It calls the Linggen MCP to load memory instantly. Linggen indexes all my docs like it’s remembering them—it is awesome. One click loads the full architectural context, removing the "cold start" problem. The Tech: Local-First: Rust + LanceDB. Code and embeddings stay on your machine. No…
