Dynamic code and feedback walkthroughs with your coding Agent in VSCode
I've been programming since I'm 6 and I don't want to quit. Since Agents came into existence I've been increasingly building more of the random ideas. BUT, like many I kept getting stuck and frustrated where I wanted to make changes with the Agent that I knew I could've made without it but I had *no clue* how things worked. I created Intraview to help me build and maintain a mental model of what I was building (or had vibed) so I could use my knowledge to either fix it myself, or provide more directed instruction. It grew into something that's transformed my workflow in a pleasant way.…
In plain words
Intraview is a VS Code extension that generates dynamic code tours through AI agents and stores them as shareable files. It lets developers add batch feedback and comments directly in the editor during or outside tours. The tool helps programmers understand AI-generated code and maintain mental models of their projects, enabling them to make informed edits and give better instructions to coding agents.

I've been programming since I'm 6 and I don't want to quit. Since Agents came into existence I've been increasingly building more of the random ideas. BUT, like many I kept getting stuck and frustrated where I wanted to make changes with the Agent that I knew I could've made without it but I had *no clue* how things worked. I created Intraview to help me build and maintain a mental model of what I was building (or had vibed) so I could use my knowledge to either fix it myself, or provide more directed instruction. It grew into something that's transformed my workflow in a pleasant way. Intraview is a VS Code extension that allows you to create: - Dynamic code tours built by your existing Agent - Storage and sharing of tours (it's a file) - Batch Feedback/commenting inline in IDE in-tour and without (it's also a file) Here's a video walkthrough for the show vs tell crowd where I jump in a random (Plotly JS) open source repo and build a tour to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROBvFlG6vtY Talking tech design, this is very different than most because the whole App is cloudless. Not server less, there's no external APIs (outside basic usage telemetry). - basic TypeScript app, JS/CSS/HTML - Localhost MCP server inside VS Code (one per workspace open) Three of the biggest challenges I faced was: - re-considering the user experience given there's no database - trying to build a reasonable experience to manage MCP connection across so many different setups. - testing the many forks, Agents and themes because I wanted to make it look native (I'll probably reverse course here in future iterations) What I'm curious about is, where do you see the value: - New project/developer onboarding - PR reviews - Keeping up with Agentic code - Perf reviews (for EM), you could build a tour biggest contributions by a GitHub handle - Planning alignment and review with your Agent You can see the extension page in VS Code with these custom links (Note: this redirects and requires permission to open VS Code, won't actually install, takes another click) - for VS Code: https://intraview.ai/install?app=vscode - for Cursor: https://intraview.ai/install?app=cursor Once it's installed and you confirm MCP is connected to your local server, just ask your Agent: - Create an Intraview the onboarding for this app.. - Let's use Intraview to gather my feedback on [whatever you created]. Break down steps such that I can provide good granular feedback. Looking forward to your feedback and discussion. And because this is HN. A relevant quotable from PG. “Your code is your understanding of the problem you’re exploring. So it’s only when you have your code in your head that you really understand the problem.” — Paul Graham

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…
