OctAPI – Visualize API Routes Directly in VS Code

Started noticing issues while working with friends that I thought only I was encountering: spending too long manually adding routes to postman, getting lost looking for a single route in the sea of files and thought Hey, I can fix that (I think?) So OctAPI is a VSCode extension that automatically detects and displays API routes from a local project (currently supports Express.js, NestJS, Next.js, Koa, Flask, and FastAPI), it filters and groups them, generates a Postman export JSON file, and adds to favs. It doesn't run your code and it all stays in your machine A friend literally screamed…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

    Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
