MergeBetter
Hey HN, I got tired of merge conflicts cropping up on my open PRs, so I built MergeBetter - a GitHub App that warns you before conflicts happen. What it does: Watches your team’s open PRs and detects when two branches touch the same files/lines in potentially conflicting ways. Posts a single, tidy PR comment with the overlap and links. No CI setup or YAML needed. Just install the GitHub App, pick repos, done. Code never leaves GitHub. We only read PR diffs, never store source. Why: Even with good branch hygiene, people still step on each other’s toes. If two engineers are changing the…

MergeAug 2026 · mergeoa.com · ▲115We’re 5 founders who’ve collectively done over 250 interviews - everywhere from startups to Big Tech to quant shops. Most of the interviews we’ve done were Leetcode based or tested skills that weren’t used on the job. These days, with AI, assessments still continue to test code output. Meanwhile, at each of our companies, though, PR counts have nearly tripled. Most of us haven’t manually edited a line of code in a year. Our teams are putting more and more emphasis on code and architecture reviews, yet hiring processes haven’t changed whatsoever. Even the AI-assisted ones we’ve done still…


Tool to Automatically Create Organized Commits for PRs2025 · github.com · ▲76I've found it helps PR reviewers when they can look through a set of commits with clear messages and logically organized changes. Typically reviewers prefer a larger quantity of smaller changes versus a smaller quantity of larger changes. Sometimes it gets really messy to break up a change into sufficiently small PRs, so thoughtful commits are a great way of further subdividing changes in PRs. It can be pretty time consuming to do this though, so this tool automates the process with the help of AI. The tool sends the diff of your git branch against a base branch to an LLM provider. The LLM…
GitReviewed2025 · gitreviewed.com · ▲18Hi HN, I’m Valentin, a developer who’s found code reviews to be a slow process, especially after context switching or juggling different projects and languages. Even reviewing my own code can be tough when I’ve lost the thread or just need a fresh perspective. Over the past few weekends, I built GitReviewed to make PR reviews faster, smarter, and genuinely useful for real teams. What it does: - Reviews any GitHub or GitLab pull/merge request with AI-powered comments, spotting security issues, code patterns, typos, and more - Posts comments as you (not a bot), so feedback fits naturally…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!

For HTML Day 2025 [1], I made a web service that displays the current sky at your approximate location as a CSS gradient. Colours are simulated on-demand using atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients. Updates every minute, without the use of client-side JavaScript.
