I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.

ProductMap AI▲160Hey HN, I built ProductMap AI, a tool that automatically identifies features implemented in source code and organizes them in a visual hierarchy. The goal is to help developers quickly understand poorly documented codebases. Link: https://product-map.ai/ I’d love feedback from the HN community! Let me know what you think. Would this be useful for you?

Heimdall▲126Hey HN, We built Heimdall (heimdallspace.com) because the existing tools for space situational awareness are genuinely painful to use: clunky interfaces, fragmented data sources, slow rendering. The ones that aren't are locked behind enterprise solutions. We thought the foundation of this should be open and accessible. The goal is a satellite observability platform: one place that gives operators complete, real-time insight into their assets and the orbital environment around them. Today's release is the foundation—aggregating and rendering the full public space catalog (30,000+ objects) in…

Hey HN! We're Charles and Dean. A few weeks ago we posted about Stage, a code review tool that guides you through reading a PR step by step - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47796818. We got a lot of great feedback but also heard from many people that they wanted to have the chapters experience even before opening a PR… so we built the Stage CLI as the local, open-source version that anyone can try. Here’s a quick demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/stage-cli-demo-f55q It works with any coding agent of your choice. The skill instructs the agent to…

Hey there HN! We're Vivek and Si-Yan from Cartograph (https://cartograph.app). We've built an AI-powered code documentation platform that automatically generates reference documentation and creates a visual interactive map of the codebase that serves as both high level architecture diagram and allows you to zoom in to specific implementations. How it works: We use static analysis to read a codebase and get its symbols and their dependencies, creating a complete map that includes function calls. We use LLMs (Gemini + Claude) to add metadata to this map, as well as augment it in…

We built a reference MCP server that lets your editor/agent learn a codebase directly from source (signatures, types, AST, comments). Docs are optional. The reference impl runs on our open-source project’s codebase. Why we built it Docs are important, but they add another abstraction layer between your code and your users. Keeping them at the right quality is hard (especially at a startup), and LLM-generated docs are often mediocre until you invest real polish. Exposing code to the model in a structured way keeps answers grounded and current, and it’s always available. You can even…
