Products that do what srctree = pastebin + git + canvas does

Hello HN. This is my first webapp. It works like a pastebin, in which you can visually keep track of the changes you and others make to it. I was a little reluctant about posting it here because I'm not sure it meets the HN quality standards, but, as a beginner, I would really appreciate to have some feedback and/or tips. The url is: http://srctree.net/ An example of usage: http://srctree.net/1 Thanks!

    Octotree, the missing GitHub tree view▲7

    I started this as a weekend project and posted it on HN 5 years ago. 300,000 users later, I just released v4 today. Octotree [1] gives GitHub a sidebar that improves file navigation and code/pull request review. Works on Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Any comment or feedback is appreciated.

    Git(lab), Jenkins, Redmine and IRC on our wall▲28

    I've always dreamed about a project like that when looking at status boards at other companies. We finally had the time to do our own. Here are some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robert_olejnik/sets/72157633736087905/ The stack: Django, mustache.js, Chart.js, Bootstrap and custom Supybot plugin. Maybe will be inspiration for someone else ;-) Do you guys have similar status boards? Cheers, Robert.

    Git-workty – I got tired of Git stash and built a worktree wrapper▲7

    I context-switch a lot. Someone pings me about a bug while I'm mid-feature, and I either: 1. `git stash` (and forget what's in there forever) 2. Make a "WIP: stuff" commit (clutters history) 3. Ignore them until I'm done (not great) Worktrees solve this perfectly – each task gets its own directory, fully isolated. But the commands are clunky and I kept forgetting the syntax. So I built a small CLI wrapper. Now my workflow is: ``` wnew feat/login # creates worktree + cd into it # ...do work... wcd # fuzzy-pick another worktree, cd there wgo main # jump straight to main ``` Dashboard…

    I built GithubReader.org for better learning experience▲5

    Hey Guys, I created GithubReader.org (open-source, non-profit, most of the code is written by ChatGPT). My motivation: I wanted an easy way to keep a list of repositories I want to learn from and access them quickly. So, I built a search page where I can find repositories by name, like Google. Also, I wanted a nicer way to read Markdown files on my laptop without the GitHub UI, like reading a book. So, I made a custom UI with a back button that takes you to the previous state without jumping pages. The markdown links are sharable, e.g.…

    I built TreeSnap – turn your code into a prompt ready bundle▲6

    I built over 3-4 weeks to solve my own pain point, picking up rust along the way. It has a browser version that works online/offline and cross platform desktop as well. It was a pretty intense sprint. About TreeSnap, well it simplifies this preparation of sharing code with Chat LLMs. In my use case, making o3 via ChatGPT a lot more cost-effective to use for these tasks compared to Cursor: How it works: Select files/folders → generates a single text bundle + ASCII tree Instantly shows per-file and total token counts (list & treemap views) Quickly trim unnecessary files or folders to…
