24 alternatives to project2txt

Hi HN, I use ChatGPT a lot for my code. But it's very annoying to give it my whole project context. Copying files one by one is slow, and zip files don't work. So I made a small tool for myself: project2txt. You just drag your project folder into the browser. It reads all the files and puts them into one big .txt file. The most important thing for me: it's 100% private. All the work happens inside your browser. Your code is never uploaded anywhere. No server, no data collected. It automatically ignores junk folders like node_modules and .git. You can select which folders and file types you…

    I was getting tired of copy/pasting reams of code into GPT-4 to give it context before I asked it to help me, so I started this small tool. In a nutshell, gpt-repository-loader will spit out file paths and file contents in a prompt-friendly format. You can also use .gptignore to ignore files/folders that are irrelevant to your prompt. gpt-repository-loader as-is works pretty well in helping me achieve better responses. Eventually, I thought it would be cute to load itself into GPT-4 and have GPT-4 improve it. I was honestly surprised by PR#17. GPT-4 was able to write a valid an…

    Hi HN, As a developer, I much prefer to write code than read other people’s code. But most projects I work on involve other developers so it’s hard to avoid. Often I find it really hard to quickly parse other people’s code so I thought maybe ChatGPT could help. ChatGPT does a really nice job of giving clear explanations when you paste in code and ask it to explain it. But the interface is a bit of a pain to use if you’re using it many times a day. It’s also hard to share explanations with co-workers. So I built whatdoesthiscodedo.com. Just paste your code and get your ChatGPT explanation and…

    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 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…

    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…

    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…
