24 alternatives to I built TreeSnap – turn your code into a prompt ready bundle
I built over 3-4 weeks to solve my own pain point, picking up rust along the way. It has a browser version that works online/offline and cross platform desktop as well. It was a pretty intense sprint. About TreeSnap, well it simplifies this preparation of sharing code with Chat LLMs. In my use case, making o3 via ChatGPT a lot more cost-effective to use for these tasks compared to Cursor: How it works: Select files/folders → generates a single text bundle + ASCII tree Instantly shows per-file and total token counts (list & treemap views) Quickly trim unnecessary files or folders to…

This started as a hard requirement for my TUI-based editor application, it ended up going in a few different directions. A suite of tools that help with semantic code entities: https://github.com/odvcencio/gts-suite A next-gen version control system called Got: https://github.com/odvcencio/got I think this has some pretty big potential! I think there's many classes of application (particularly legacy architecture) that can benefit from these kinds of analysis tooling. My next post will be about composing all these together, an exciting project I call…

Scapefree tier, from $9.99/mo▲59Hey HN, we've been using Claude Code daily for months, and built Scape to fix our biggest pain point: managing multiple worktrees quickly & reducing the mental load of switching between them quickly. What we built: Scape is a macOS menu bar app that sits on top of Claude Code and gives you: - One-click worktrees: click a button, get a new git worktree with a Claude session already working on it. Develop in parallel without leaving your current branch. - Toolkit: per-session actions like "Create PR", "Commit & Push", "Run & Fix Tests." Add your own with bash scripts or prompts. -…

Hey developers I think we're tired of copying and pasting our codes and sharing links using PasteBin, GithubGist, or Slack. What if you could share the codes without copying the link and share them right from your favorite editor? That was the motivation for creating TurboGist. Right now, it's still in the MVP stage, and I'm trying to gather feedback from developers like you. It's available as a beta in the VS Code Extension store. Can you guys check this out? It'd help me a lot. You don't need to pay any penny, 100% FREE. However, I'm working on introducing a self-hosted feature. Besides, a…

Hi HN, I built a free, and completely open source, visual studio code extension, which generates tweets based on commits you select. While I was working on webtilities.com, an idea came to me: wouldn't it be cool that I could market this thing inside my editor. Ah, i'm truly lazy. Well, I spent a week building this thing that I bet no one will need because: * "This wont work. My commit messages are terrible" * "This is stupid, I can just use ChatGPT/Gemini/[Insert Chat Platform] directly" * "This is stupid, I get BILLED for using openai tokens" ... And the list goes on. But, I…

Over this past month I had the idea to build a 100% open-source MIT-licensed tool to simplify sharing code with LLMs, without the vendor lock-in you get from most SDKs. Right now, it’s way too hard to export your data or work freely with models like o1 PRO or Grok 3, especially since they don’t even have API access. So I built OpenRepoPrompt, an open-source tool from wildberry-source that serializes files and folders into XML for LLMs. I coded/designed from 12PM -> 11PM on Saturday and 8AM -> 11PM on Sunday. There are still tons of features missing (I'm working on better file filtering…

Hi HN! This Christmas I made `tysm`, a rust crates which simplifies using ChatGPT with Structured Outputs. Essentially you just tell it the rust type you want the output to conform to, and it handles creating the JSON Schema, passing it to ChatGPT's chat-completions API, and deserializing the response. Structured Outputs are very useful because they guarantee that the response will conform to whatever type you expect. I'm already finding my crate very useful since I love using Structured Outputs but I hate writing JSON Schemas myself. Technical details for rust heads: To generate the JSON…

Hey HN, Like many of you, I’ve been using ChatGPT to brainstorm, debug code, and even plan projects. But as the number of conversations grew, I found myself scrolling endlessly trying to find old chats. It was frustrating and unproductive. So, I built PinFold – a Chrome extension to help manage and organize ChatGPT conversations. With PinFold, you can: Pin important chats for quick access. Organize conversations into folders (e.g., personal vs. work-related). Declutter your ChatGPT history and boost productivity. It's privacy-focused: no data is sent to external servers – everything is…

About a year ago I was working on a project with mirrored Kubernetes clusters deployed across various regions. Constantly switching contexts was a big pain for me and I badly needed something more practical to work with multiple clusters, ideally simultaneously. At that time everyone was talking about Rust and I really wanted to try it out. I then found Tauri, a framework to build GUI apps with Rust + JavaScript. I was sold. I learned Rust and built the app I always wanted to use. Fast, lightweight and with the ability to connect to multiple clusters simultaneously. Fast forward to today,…

TLDR: Check out our documentation search here: https://xata.io/docs/overview Hello HN. I'm a designer over at Xata. We build a serverless database platform on top of Postgres and Elastic-like search that provides goodies like a native TypeScript client for type support in your IDE. Long story short, we're trying to bundle all the normal stuff you need out of a database along with branching, so you don't have to glue everything together. Today we added a new /ask/ endpoint to our search product that bundles in ChatGPT support into any stored data. Why would you…

I made this as a pair programming exercise with o1-preview. o1 did most of the heavy lifting, through high level prompts, but eventually I needed to diverge from it to get to completion. My initial prompt was: --- I'm making a web app: It's like 4chan, but each thread starts with a gps coordinate. People can only post text and images. I want to build it with flask and sqlalchemy. I want just the backend and data model that supports these threads, anonymous users, and users that can register a permanent username. Write as much of it as you can for me. --- This produced a fully scaffolded…

Onepard▲14I built Onepard that makes any kind of content instantly interactive. Paste your content (docs, notes, FAQs) Share the link People can ask it questions in a chat interface Why? Most content just sits unread - docs, FAQs, notes. I wanted a way to make it usable in seconds without setup or code. Demo: https://demo.onepard.com/ Right now it’s very MVP - free tier with limits, paid tiers for higher usage. I’d love your feedback: Who do you think this is most useful for? What’s missing that would make it worth paying for? Any sharp edges in the UX? Thanks

I built Chat Capsule because I wanted to export my ChatGPT conversations in plain-text Markdown, so I can import them to Notion, or take the history over to Claude in the future. It's as simple as that: * Get your data export from ChatGPT * Drag-and-drop the ZIP (or just conversations.json) you download from ChatGPT * Parsing happens client-side only, so none of your confidential conversations leave your machine * Download each thread individually, or all of them as a ZIP file First 100 users get it for free with the code SUMMERDAY100.

Hi everyone! At Fluxon, we found that we were't happy with existing solutions for collaborative coding with engineering candidates in our technical interviews. So we built OpenBracket.net—a simple code editor with no setup or log in needed—just share the link and start coding together. Our first version is now available for anyone to use. We’d love some feedback. Thanks!

Quick note on how it works and how I've done my batch embedding engine IgniteMS. The whole thing runs as one process using Rust, reading input, tokenizing, packing batches, keeping the queue full. TensorRT handles inference. Python is only as a wrapper. I built it this way because when you use more than couple of GPUs, the GPUs stop being the problem. CPU cannot feed them fast enough. One A100 can go through batches faster than Python can tokenize and feed, so the GPU just sits there idle waiting for work. Most of my time went into optimizing this. At 8 GPUs that was basically the entire…

Hey HN! I wanted to practice "vibe coding" and see how far and fast I can go by only prompting, without actual coding. I decided to make a simple CLI app that scrapes web docs into a single md file (I was annoyed that LLM keeps writing Tailwind 3 code for a Tailwind 4 project). In just a couple of hours, the CLI app was ready! Then iterated on arguments for another couple of hours. Result: https://github.com/vladstudio/web2llm Then I decided to go further and "productize" the CLI by making a web app for it. Another half-day, and the web app is ready!…

Hey HN! I spent the last year building a programming challenges site targeted at intermediate/advanced programmers [1]. Challenges follow the "Build your own X" format, where you learn about a popular open source tool by building a small version yourself (popularized by this Github repo [2]). The primary difference compared to other coding challenge websites like Codecademy, HackerRank, Exercism etc. is that we offer real-world programming challenges - no inverting binary trees here! I've posted about this multiple times here before, but haven't managed to gather much interest. Trying…

After fine-tuning GPT for a personal project, I realized how tedious it is to write plain text in a massive JSON file. That's why I built this app for my own use, and I want to see if others could benefit from a tool like this as well ;)

Just finished the first draft of my weekend project. Sadly my industry is far away from all the exciting machine learning developments happening right now, so I wrote this project as my first exploration into the world of LLMs. It's not perfect, but I'm excited to see where the project goes from here! https://github.com/clarkmcc/chitchat My main motivations were: - Easy-of-use: Many models are supported out-of-the-box so users don't have to figure out how to download, where to save, etc. - Intuitive: A clean interface - Cross platform: The project is written in Rust and…

Hi HN! I wanted to share my freshly finished open-source project. It is similar to ChatGPT Code Interpreter, but the interpreter runs locally and it can use open-source models like Llama 2. It allows you to work with sensitive data without uploading it to the cloud. Either you use a local LLM (like Llama 2), or an API (like GPT-4). For the latter case, there is an approval mechanism in the UI, which separates your local data from the remote services. I would be very interested in your valuable feedback!
