Hello there, I'm FG (short for François-Guillaume)! I’m building Quack Companion (https://github.com/quack-ai/companion), a tool designed to bridge the gap between project maintainers and contributors in open-source software (OSS). If you've ever contributed to OSS, you're familiar with the challenge: diving into a new codebase, aligning with maintainers' expectations, and making meaningful contributions can be daunting. For maintainers, managing a flood of contributions and providing guidance while maintaining quality is overwhelming. As a contributor to PyTorch & an OSS…

Hi HN, My team and I are building Tabstack to handle the "web layer" for AI agents. Launch Post: https://tabstack.ai/blog/intro-browsing-infrastructure-ai-ag... Maintaining a complex infrastructure stack for web browsing is one of the biggest bottlenecks in building reliable agents. You start with a simple fetch, but quickly end up managing a complex stack of proxies, handling client-side hydration, and debugging brittle selectors. and writing custom parsing logic for every site. Tabstack is an API that abstracts that infrastructure. You send a URL and an intent; we…

ChunkHound’s goal is simple: local-first codebase intelligence that helps you pull deep, core-dev-level insights on demand, generate always-up-to-date docs, and scale from small repos to enterprise monorepos — while staying free + open source and provider-agnostic (VoyageAI / OpenAI / Qwen3, Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini / Grok, and more). I’d love your feedback — and if you have, thank you for being part of the journey!

Hey HN! We're Charles and Dean. A few weeks ago we posted about Stage, a code review tool that guides you through reading a PR step by step - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47796818. We got a lot of great feedback but also heard from many people that they wanted to have the chapters experience even before opening a PR… so we built the Stage CLI as the local, open-source version that anyone can try. Here’s a quick demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/stage-cli-demo-f55q It works with any coding agent of your choice. The skill instructs the agent to…

Hi HN, we're TrueState, a Sydney-based team of engineers. Together we've built a platform that helps non-technical and semi-technical users analyse their data with AI. Back in the pre-agentic IDE days, we found ourselves leaning heavily on ChatGPT for writing SQL queries, Matplotlib plotting code, and Pandas transformations. But a lack of sufficient context often meant we spent more time debugging than we actually saved. As recovering consultants and enterprise data team members, we also were haunted by the ad-hoc requests from executives that ate up all of our time. We envisioned an…

Hi HN! I’m Ivan, one of the founders of Sourcewizard. It’s a CLI tool that works with AI coding agents (like Cursor and Claude) to install and set up SDKs correctly including middleware, pages, env vars, everything. Similar to the PostHog Install AI Wizard: https://posthog.com/docs/ai-engineering/ai-wizard But for more packages. Run this to try it: npx ai-setup clerk We built it after watching agents fail basic installs. Wrong packages, deprecated methods, half-finished setups. Sourcewizard uses package-specific prompts that complete clean installs ~90% of the time…
