Davia – A Visual Wiki, Generated by Your Coding Agent (Open-Source)
Hi HN, We’re Ruben, Afnan, and Theo. A few days ago we shared the first early version of Davia, and the feedback was far more active than we expected. For context, you can see the previous discussion and reactions here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45880716 Based on that response, we decided to push things further and release Davia as a fully open-source package you can run locally. Davia helps coding agents generate a structured, editable internal wiki for your project. The focus is on high-level documentation: onboarding context, architectural overviews, key design…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, We’re Ruben, Afnan, and Theo. A few days ago we shared the first early version of Davia, and the feedback was far more active than we expected. For context, you can see the previous discussion and reactions here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45880716 Based on that response, we decided to push things further and release Davia as a fully open-source package you can run locally. Davia helps coding agents generate a structured, editable internal wiki for your project. The focus is on high-level documentation: onboarding context, architectural overviews, key design decisions. Traditional tooling often lacks visual context, omits diagrams, and doesn’t integrate well with local workflows or AI-assisted editing. Davia outputs a workspace where: – Text is editable in a Notion-like editor – Diagrams are placed on editable whiteboards – Everything runs locally and can be modified either in your IDE or within the workspace One feature people particularly liked is that your IDE’s AI agent can write the documentation while Davia turns it into clean pages, diagrams, and visual structures automatically. The project is still early, so we’d love your feedback, use cases, criticisms, and thoughts on how you currently document internal knowledge.

I’ve been working on something called Davia — a platform for creating interactive documents. These are “living documents”: each page is self-contained, combining editable content, interactive components, and data. You can read them, edit them, and actually interact with them — more like mini-apps than static docs. Here’s what makes it interesting: The interactive components are pieces of code generated on the fly, so you’re not limited to a fixed set of blocks like in Notion. You can create infinitely flexible functionality right inside a doc. Technically, an interactive page is an ensemble…
- LALucidcode- A Copilot to Understand Codebases2024 · lucidcode.ai · ▲6
Hello HN, I am building a devtool to understand existing codebases. The idea originates from my time at big tech as well as various attempts to get involved in open source projects. When I was in college I wanted to improve my coding skills by contributing to opensource projects. I would pickup a bug or feature request but I always found myself stuck at the very first step. I did not understood where and how to begin contributing. I once submitted a patch in firefox which was labeled "Good first issue" but that was still very handheld. The assigner told me exactly which files I need to…

I worked as a software engineer at Amazon, SAP, and on open source. In all 3 places I have struggled with the friction of understanding codebases before I can make a contribution. I think this brain-fatiguing process can be improved. I am trying to solve it with a tool I built over the last 4 years called CodeCanvas: https://docs.code-canvas.com CodeCanvas visualizes codebases through interactive diagrams linked directly to source code. Users can record 'simulations' to demonstrate data flow and business logic. I’ve also recently added an LLM chat where it takes only the relevant…
- WBWe built a powerful and free AI research assistant2024 · join.modularmind.app · ▲7
Hi everyone, We have been developing a platform to enable professionals to build AI assistants to help them through their work. After a few months, we realized people are trying to sell basic functionalities that can be built from scratch in a couple of hours. Due to this, individuals who are not familiar with the current SOTA are misinformed about the potential of generative models. So, we decided to open up some of our most popular templates as standalone tools for free to empower individuals and set a solid standard for what people should expect. We believe the barrier to accessing…
- BDBugout.dev – Crash and usage reports for developer tools2021 · ▲8
Hello everyone, I’m Sophia, founder of Bugout.dev. I started off as a professional ballerina, and entered technology later in my working life - through the OpenAI Scholars program. My co-founder, Neeraj (zomglings on HN), is a mathematician and now programmer. When I was learning how to code I kept running into issues. I found Stackoverflow and GitHub issues hard to navigate, often leading me to outdated solutions to the problems I was experiencing. That experience made me want a product that would collect crashes and immediately let the creators of the software I was using know about the…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
