Products that do what Tidytrace.com – Stack Trace Formatter does
Hey HN Community, For years I’ve received bug reports with stack traces that were garbled and hard to read. It’s easy enough to use a regular expression to fix them, but I noticed that some folks on my team hadn’t thought to do that. So, I created TidyTrace.com to quickly and easily do it for my team members. For example, take this Java stack trace Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException\n\tat java.base/java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:939)\n\tat java.base/java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1594)\n\tat…

Hello, Are you curious to discover which snippets of your code were copied from Stackoverflow? Where else on the Internet are those icons that you copied a long time ago? Or simply to discover which licenses apply to the open source in your code? There's an app for that: http://triplecheck.net/quantum/ Development of this tooling took over two years, we archived over 630Tb of open source data around the web. Some sources of data have gone offline in the meanwhile but we kept a copy for posterity. Things to consider: - Stackoverflow snippet detection is limited to Java at…

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!

My partner reviews a lot of P&IDs (piping and instrumentation diagrams) and the adjacent files involved (excel, docx, pdfs, acd/l5x, etc). In his company, these are usually done in Bluebeam. It's really hard to see the diff + keep track of all the revisions resulted by these iterations. They end up storing files like "rev3_final_redlined.pdf". We've been looking for something close to Github to do these reviews, but haven't found one easy enough for folks with no CLI experience to understand and use (happy to check out more tools if you know any). So I built withkord.com to help with…

One year ago, I downloaded the news.arc code and decided that I would teach myself programming by building a better aggregator. At that time, I had some rudimentary HTML knowledge, and little FORTRAN under my belt. I knew that I wanted an aggregator that could support a wide range of submissions, and one that could scale without losing quality for the user. Hubski is what I have to show for my time and effort. The easiest way to describe Hubski is to say that it uses a commenting system akin to HN or Reddit, but uses a sharing scheme like Twitter. You have a personal feed comprised of the…

Hi Hacker News! I’m Rashid, a first-year student at UT Austin and the person leading development of Rejourney, a web/app analytics and session replay tool. Recently, a handful of our users emailed us that they only care about a few user recordings (replays) that show conversion issues, and didn't want to waste time watching all the session replays they got. And no matter how many filters/smart capture rules we put in, the deterministic methods of choosing what to capture always missed important session recordings or overshot and recorded everything. Our users also used other…

I made Steal UI because I got tired of wasting hours recreating design systems every time I shipped a new project. Manually inspecting Linear's colors, guessing Stripe’s spacing, or reverse-engineering Vercel’s typography felt like a waste of time. I’m a solution designer at a robotics company by day, but at night, I ship side projects. After killing 5 previous projects because I burned too much time on design instead of shipping, I decided to automate the "DNA" extraction of the web. How it works: Paste any public URL. Steal UI uses a mix of web scraping and AI interpretation to extract…

Just a simple tool I hacked together last night. I wanted to paste a bunch of JSON for reference in an IRC channel, but the JSON that I wanted to paste was not formatted. I didn't quickly find a pastebin that formatted JSON for me so I just made one. It's probably so simple that it's borderline useless, but here it is! http://jsonifier.com/ example output: http://jsonifier.com/paste/4e3f84b46f3b792dde000000

I recently finished the Front-End Web Development program at General Assembly in San Francisco. My final project turned out being a quick, easy, and free way to convert a Tweet into various properly formatted citations.

Hey HN! We (Stephan and Thomas) recently open-sourced Semble. We kept running into the same problem while using Claude Code on large codebases: when the agent can't find something directly, it falls back to grep, reading full files or launching subagents. This uses a lot of tokens, and often still misses the relevant code. There are existing tools for this, but they were either too slow to index on demand, needed API keys, or had poor retrieval quality. So we built Semble. It combines static Model2Vec embeddings (using our latest static model: potion-code-16M) with BM25, fused via RRF and…

Hey everyone, I built a small Chrome extension that automatically removes em dashes from ChatGPT responses. It uses a few regex rules to guess the appropriate replacement punctuation (usually commas or periods). Goodbye AI slop!

Hey HN, I built ShadowGit a while back to automatically commit code every minute to a hidden git repo (.shadowgit.git). Original goal was to easily rollback when AI tools break things. But I discovered something interesting: this minute-by-minute history is perfect context for AI assistants. So I built an MCP server that lets Claude/Cursor query this history using native git commands. The results surprised me: Before: Claude would read my entire codebase repeatedly, burning 15,000+ tokens to debug issues. After: Claude runs `git log --grep="drag"` finds when drag-and-drop worked,…

I got tired of manually reading through the hiring thread and automated it for myself using Github actions and GPT4o with structured data to extract data points I cared about. I also wrote about it if you're interested in reading how it was done here - https://amberwilliams.io/blogs/a6593b75-8cdd-4ae3-9a89-5dedb...

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.…

Hi all, I've been working on this devtool for 1 month now for myself at first and I'll be curious to see if it's something that could work for you as well. So basically, it detects bugs in your website in production from real user sessions, an llm clusters them by severity and it provides the complete context of the issue that you can copy-paste into your coding agent to fix it in one go. Why did I create it? I've been shipping fast with tools like Cursor and Claude Code. The problem? When bugs happen in production, these tools have zero context about what actually went wrong. Sentry is…
