  1. 1

    Hey HN, I'm Dennis and I'm the founder of Unblocked. Unblocked provides helpful and accurate answers to any question about your codebase. When a project and team gets big enough, one of the most time consuming parts of building software is understanding the entirety of your codebase — how it works, why it was written, and works the way it does. Based on our collective painful experiences of countless hours in meetings, dealing with interruptions and digging through obsolete documentation while building software at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, facebook/Meta and Apple… we created…

    Blocks▲448

    Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

    Bindly▲76

    Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…
