Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…

Bindly▲76Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

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. -…

i kept hitting rate limits in Claude Code mid-debugging, then hopping to Gemini or Codex. the annoying part wasn't switching tools (copy-pasting terminal output doesn't bring tool-use context with it) — it was losing the full conversation and spending 10 minutes re-explaining what i was doing. so i built *continues*. it finds your existing AI coding sessions across five tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode), lets you pick one, and generates a structured handoff so you can continue in another tool without starting from zero. npx continues # interactive TUI:…

AI Flow Chat▲19I found ChatGPT to be limiting if you're working with long chains of prompts. So I build this tool to work to have more control. The prompt nodes can only see direct connections. I've been using this tool mainly for writing articles, but I'm wondering what other use-cases this could be relevant for.

Hey HN, A friend at a hardware startup mentioned how their engineering team struggles with CAD file conflicts as PDM solutions are not affordable. Multiple engineers opening the same SolidWorks part = corrupted files and lost work. I was motivated and started building Nova. Nova is a open source file locking system, designed to support multiple CAD softwares with real time locking and live dashboard to keep design engineers in sync. Nova is built with python and Next.js. Get started with - git clone https://github.com/agg111/nova cd nova pip install -r requirements.txt…
