Scaffolder is a CLI tool written in Golang to instantly generate skeleton project structure with boilerplate code, that's taken from configurable YAML file, to quickly kick-start your project I was tired of manually creating the project structure, with all those folder, files... So I decided to create a CLI tool that allows you to instantly generate skeleton projects, based on a reusable YAML file with boilerplate code if specified. YAML is very easy for both humans and programs to work with and parse, hence why it's the most logical choice in context of Scaffolder. Check out the GitHub page…

I’m excited to share about Mesop - a new, open-source Python UI framework that enables Python developers to quickly build delightful web apps in a scalable way. A small team of us at Google have been developing Mesop as an unofficial 20% project for the past few months.

We think that Mesop provides a unique approach to building web UIs in Python - making it both easy…

I built an open-source repo template that brings structure to AI-assisted software development, starting from the pre-coding phases: objectives, user stories, requirements, architecture decisions. It's designed around Claude Code but the ideas are tool-agnostic. I've been a computer science researcher and full-stack software engineer for 25 years, working mainly in startups. I've been using this approach on my personal projects for a while, then, when I decided to package it up as scaffold for more easy reuse, I figured it might be useful to others too. I published it under Apache 2.0, fork…

Hi HN! We’re Asankhaya and Rohan and we are building Patchwork. Patchwork tackles development gruntwork—like reviews, docs, linting, and security fixes—through customizable, code-first 'patchflows' using LLMs and modular code management steps, all in Python. Here's a quick overview video: https://youtu.be/MLyn6B3bFMU From our time building DevSecOps tools, we experienced first-hand the frustrations our users faced as they built complex delivery pipelines.
