Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

Hey HN, I’m Henry, cofounder and CTO at Span (https://span.app/). Today we’re launching AI Code Detector, an AI code detection tool you can try in your browser. The explosion of AI generated code has created some weird problems for engineering orgs. Tools like Cursor and Copilot are used by virtually every org on the planet – but each codegen tool has its own idiosyncratic way of reporting usage. Some don’t report usage at all. Our view is that token spend will start competing with payroll spend as AI becomes more deeply ingrained in how we build software, so understanding how…

I'm a security engineer and started playing around with AI coding tools last year. I noticed a lot of basic security issues: exposed api keys, missing input sanitization, no rate limiting etc. So I built this to scan for them automatically.

Hey HN! We're Ben and Izak, the cofounders of Vigilant. Vigilant is a lightweight tool for managing structured logs. It lets you centralize your logs, search them, and create alerts. We used Cloudwatch for logs on our last product, and it was quite painful. Even basic searches felt tedious. We’ve used dedicated observability tools at past jobs, but most of them have a steep learning curve and require widespread integration (and some still feel clunky). With Vigilant, we're focused on making logs feel fast and simple. We operate at the application layer with an sdk. We're trying a unique…

Hey HN, we're thrilled to announce the alpha launch of Traycer, our new AI-driven code reviewer that works in the background as you code. During this initial phase, Traycer is completely free until the end of June and will remain free indefinitely for all open-source projects. You can install Traycer from the VSCode marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Traycer....). Why Traycer? As developers, we know the challenge of ensuring code quality while balancing productivity. AI-powered code generators have simplified coding but often miss the nuances that…
