Hey developers I think we're tired of copying and pasting our codes and sharing links using PasteBin, GithubGist, or Slack. What if you could share the codes without copying the link and share them right from your favorite editor? That was the motivation for creating TurboGist. Right now, it's still in the MVP stage, and I'm trying to gather feedback from developers like you. It's available as a beta in the VS Code Extension store. Can you guys check this out? It'd help me a lot. You don't need to pay any penny, 100% FREE. However, I'm working on introducing a self-hosted feature. Besides, a…

VSCode was my daily driver for years, but once I started running several coding agents across multiple projects at the same time, it got in the way. One workspace with terminals in the bottom tray, no idea which agent was doing what and I found myself needing all the code editing tools less and less. So I built my own IDE around that workflow. Terminals are a first-class citizen, every project stays alive in the background with visual statuses. Close the workspace and come back weeks later, everything is still in its place. I've been using it for weeks and it's a big productivity boost. The…

Hi HN, Simple online tools on the web have become unnecessary greedy. For example, * https://jsonformatter.org/ displays 7 ads on page load * https://convertcase.net/ had 4 ads plus a Google Vignette. And many more sites do the same thing. It's just noisy, which is why I created this VS Code Extension where you don't need to even leave your editor for your small web operations. I also built a Desktop app and an online version, which can be reached or downloaded at smallonlinetools.net. Both of which will be ad-free forever. So far smallonlinetools.net has over…
