Hello everyone. I've been working on this experimental editor called Huzzah. I've been working almost exclusively with coding agents since January of this year, and over the past few months I began to feel utterly exhausted by them. They're great, but I'm finding it more and more tedious to write full sentences for every change I want. Not only that, but it seems there's a complexity limit for codebases - beyond a certain point the agent begins confusing itself. I'd like to go back to writing code, but I don't want to go all the way back to fully manual coding. So I've come up with this…

Hi HN, I am Jiayuan, and I'm here to introduce a tool we've been building over the past few months: Devv (https://devv.ai). In simple terms, it is an AI-powered search engine specifically designed for developers. Now, you might ask, with so many AI search engines already available—Perplexity, You.com, Phind, and several open-source projects—why do we need another one? We all know that Generative Search Engines are built on RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)[1] combined with Large Language Models (LLMs). Most of the products mentioned above use indexes from general search engines…

Hi HN, I'm Tony. I built Grov (https://grov.dev/) because I hit a wall with current AI coding assistants: they are "single-player." The moment I kill a terminal pane or close a chat session, the high-level reasoning and architectural decisions generated during that session are lost. If a teammate touches that same code an hour later, their agent has to re-derive everything from scratch or read many documentation files for basically any feature implemented or bug fixed. I wanted to stop writing a lot of docs for everything just to give context to my agents or have to re-explain…

We built two desktop apps for developers and data scientists who want AI assistance without subscription lock-in or API proxying, or to run against local models. - Calliope AI IDE: VSCode-based, full dev environment with AI chat, live coding, and autonomous agents - Calliope AI Lab: JupyterLab under the hood, with built-in AI chat and local Postgres Both free. No account. No login. BYOK (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Ollama). How it's different from Cursor/Continue/Windsurf/Antigravity: Your API keys stay local. Requests go direct to providers – we don't route through…

GitHub▲10PMB is a local-first memory system for AI coding agents, running on MCP and storing data with SQLite and LanceDB. It preserves project context, decisions, and preferences across sessions and tools. I created it because coding agents frequently lose valuable context between sessions, especially on long projects. So, I'd love feedback from those who use coding agents regularly. What do you think should be auto-remembered versus what should always need explicit confirmation?
