We're building version control software for Microsoft Office documents that works as well as Git and GitHub do for code. Today, we’re releasing the first component, Draftable for Word, an Office add-in that lets you generate side-by-side diffs, and makes it way less painful to work with Track Changes. Our diffs are designed to look right to humans — instead of machines — showing changes as they might actually have been made by an editor. We'd love to hear your feedback. We’d also love to fix what you find painful about authoring and collaborating on Microsoft Office documents, so get in…

Plannotator opens a local diff viewer (git, jj, p4). You annotate lines, tokens, or comment on files, and when you're done they feed straight into your agent session; creating an automated feedback loop. It works on local diffs, commits, branches, worktrees, and GitHub/GitLab PRs. The PR view lets you annotate the descriptions and comments while also being able to filter bot comments. The core tool enables focused manual review, the optional AI layer: - Ask AI: Ask questions directly inline - Guided Reviews: Have an agent reorganize a large diff into semantic overview sorted by…

Pipe the output of a `diff` command to Diffswarm to get back a persistent URL that contains the diff with workflow, comments, search, etc. Basically some of the helpful features that Github offers on PR diffs, just available for any arbitrary diff. I wrote this tool to use at work for documenting snapshot diff triaging, and also used it to help with the same thing on a couple Ty PRs. Example: https://diffswarm.dev/d-01k2gknwyq82f6x17zqf3apjxc

I built this because I was tired of creating pull requests in 20 repositories just to change a single line of workflow job version. With Infra as AI, just mention the change. Agents work on all repos in parallel, read the docs, make a bunch of PRs and fill in the description. You can see the demo of the actual dashboard in the landing. Let me know your thoughts :) It means a lot to me!

I’ve spent the last 2.5 months building a product that runs LLM-powered code reviews on my pull requests — and I just launched it. The tool is built specifically for solo developers. You install it on your repo, trigger a scan by creating a pull request, and it leaves structured review comments using OpenAI under the hood. Funnily enough, I used the dev version of this app to review its own pull requests while building it. It helped me spot bugs, simplify structure, and keep quality high — all with minimal need for another human in the loop. Things I want to try out in the next months : -…

Hello all, I'm a software developer. Over the last few months more and more of my work has turned into using coding agents instead of typing the whole code myself. Usually a few claude sessions at once, sometimes codex, one per feature or per revealed bug. I ran them in a split terminal for a few weeks, and quickly spotted two main problems. The first is that I couldn't easily tell which agent was stuck waiting on me and which was still working, so I'd cycle through sessions and checking on them. The second one: agents sharing a single branch step on each other. Two of them could be editing…

Hey HN, In the months since we initially released Burr (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39917364), we have been hard at work. We wanted to share some of the most exciting changes we’ve made to build Burr out as a full-stack development framework for AI agents. In case you don’t recall, Burr is an open-source python library that makes it easier to build and debug GenAI applications & agents by representing them as graphs of simple python objects/functions. Burr only abstracts away system-level concerns (state persistence, debugging, observability), and does not…

Hi HN! We were frustrated with text diffs on GitHub PRs, so we made DiffLens (https://github.com/marketplace/difflens). DiffLens constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree for each file, and uses that semantic information to intelligently diff changes. Checkout the demo on our website (https://www.difflens.com). Getting started with DiffLens is easy! Simply install the app on your repositories. The next time you open a PR, DiffLens will automatically create a diff for your changes. If you review code, especially TypeScript, JavaScript or CSS, give DiffLens a try! We're…

Hey HN, Over the past 10 months I've been using Claude Code heavily, and one limitation kept coming up: you can really only run one coding agent at a time. While one agent is refactoring something, the rest of the repo is basically blocked unless you start manually juggling branches and working directories. The core issue is that AI coding agents operate directly in your filesystem. If two agents run in the same working directory they quickly start stepping on each other’s changes. Git worktrees turned out to be a surprisingly good primitive for solving this. So I built ChatML, a Desktop app…

A CLI tool for managing and semantically diffing LLM prompts. Goes beyond text diff by detecting meaning-level changes using embeddings (OpenAI or local). Useful for versioning, testing, and CI/CD workflows.
