    Hey HN - I'm Mason, and I'm excited to share a fun side project I've been working on recently: Repo Roast. For me, Github often feels like a serious (and sometimes soulless) place. I built this website to showcase the human, silly side of developers. Repo Roast is built on top of LLM-powered GitHub analytics tooling we’re developing internally at Merit Systems [0]. One of the historically cited weak points for LLMs has been their sense of humor. I found that with the right prompt, at scale, they mostly can _identify_ humor pretty well. We experimented with a couple of different models to…

    Repo: https://github.com/nnnkit/totem Bookmarking a tweet/article/thread on X is one click, but actually reading it later is like five clicks — open X, dig into history, bookmarks, find the post, and dodge the distraction of new feeds and notifications on the way there. So I had hundreds of genuinely great tweets saved and basically never read any of them. Totem puts that queue on the browser new tab, so reading them is just one click away. No feed distraction, no algorithm, no AI, no server, no account — it's all local. In one sentence "It's like the reading…

    Gitingest is a open-source micro dev-tool that I made over the last week. It turns any public Github repository into a text extract that you can give to your favourite LLM easily. Today I added this url trick to make it even easier to use! How I use it myself: - Quickly generate a README.md boilerplate for a project - Ask LLMs questions about an undocumented codebase It is still very much work in progress and I plan to add many more options (file size limits, exclude patterns..) and a public API I hope this tool can help you Your feedback is very valuable to help me prioritize And…

    Hey HN, I wanted to share a simple command line tool I made that has sped up and simplified my LLM assisted coding workflow. Whenever possible, I’ve been trying to use Claude as a first pass when implementing new features / changes. But I found that depending on the type of change I was making, I was spending a lot of thought finding and deciding which source files should be included in the prompt. The need to copy/paste each file individually also becomes a mild annoyance. First, I implemented `repogather --all` , which unintelligently copies all sources files in your repository…

    A passion project I started recently. Please submit your own (or any) website you suspect might score high as "AI-slop" and we'll publish a roast soon. Note that my goal is two-fold: I'll use (most) submitted websites in some research I'm going to be publishing later. Thanks!
