FlyCode – Git-Based Copy and Translations Editor for Web Apps
Hi HN community, Over the last six months, we’ve been building FlyCode, a product editing DevTool. We make it easy for team members to edit product copy in web and native apps’ code through FlyCode’s dashboard with auto-generated PRs instead of using a code editor. From the beginning, we built around the belief that codebase ownership should stay with developers and that tools should flexibly coexist with a codebase rather than dictate infra changes. The key shift for us was to identify ways to include non-technical teams as individual contributors in the development process. At FlyCode,…
In plain words
FlyCode is a developer tool that lets non-technical team members edit product copy and translations in web and native apps through a dashboard, which automatically generates pull requests instead of requiring code editor access. It works as a GitHub application that scans repositories for product copy in real-time, keeping codebase ownership with developers while enabling wider team contribution to the development process without coding knowledge.

Hi HN community, Over the last six months, we’ve been building FlyCode, a product editing DevTool. We make it easy for team members to edit product copy in web and native apps’ code through FlyCode’s dashboard with auto-generated PRs instead of using a code editor. From the beginning, we built around the belief that codebase ownership should stay with developers and that tools should flexibly coexist with a codebase rather than dictate infra changes. The key shift for us was to identify ways to include non-technical teams as individual contributors in the development process. At FlyCode, we’re building a git-based product editor that makes it easy and safe for non-developers, to contribute to web & native apps code without actually coding. So far we’ve built [1]: 1) A GitHub application that scans your selected repositories in real-time for product copy. We are working on integrations to support GitLab and BitBucket in the future. 2) Editing React, Angular, and Vue code as well as JSON and gettext PO files (for international use-cases). We support editing product copy in resource files and hardcoded. 3) Pre-built GUI to invite your team to manage and edit product copy with auto-generated PRs. We are hoping to use this post as an opportunity to collect feedback from fellow hackers! Our open beta is fully self-service and takes about 5-10 minutes from sign up to first edit [2]. We recently added 3 demo repositories so anyone can try the platform [3]. If you’re using GitLab or BitBucket sign up to be notified when FlyCode is ready for you. We are far from our vision but the team - 10 amazing humans (we’re hiring developers [4]) - is working hard every day to improve the user experience and feature requests from our early collaborators (editing images, variables, JSON configuration, A/B testing, etc.). While the platform is still in “beta”, we are confident that today’s FlyCode creates significant value for teams, large and small. Your feedback is what guides us forward so please share any questions, comments, or concerns in the comments below.

Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…
