In plain words
OS Ninja is a tool that helps users explore and learn from open source code using AI guidance. It transforms code repositories into interactive learning experiences with multiple formats: Deep-dive, Socratic, Feynman, or book-style approaches. The platform is designed for developers and learners who want to understand open source projects more effectively without becoming overwhelmed by large amounts of information. Rather than presenting raw code, OS Ninja structures repositories as guided learning journeys tailored to different learning preferences.

Our goal is simple but ambitious: to make deep-diving into code feel more like an adventure! Most of us know that Open Source is the backbone of the modern web, but finding the right project to learn from or contribute to can feel like searching for a needle in a digital haystack. Not anymore. We turn complex code repositories into interactive, AI-guided learning journeys. Choose how you learn best: Deep-dive, Socratic, Feynman, or traditional book format. No more 'wall of information' fatigue.
Discover and learn open source projects with AI-generated learning paths. Browse repositories with structured tutorials, diagrams, and documentation. The smartest way to master any codebase.
Open source is the backbone of the modern web. We decode complex codebases and forge learning paths that evolve as fast as the code does. Search for any open source project. Can't find it? Request it and we'll add it to our library. Our engine performs a comprehensive analysis of the entire codebase to generate structured learning paths. This high-fidelity research can take up to 24 hours. Choose how you learn best: Socratic questioning, Feynman technique, or traditional book format. Give any coding agent access to curated open-source knowledge — learning paths, repo summaries, and structured docs — through a standard MCP server. Get monthly updates on new open-source repos we've added,…from os.ninja

The idea is actually quite simple. As a Japanese learner and a coder, I've always wanted there to be an open-source, 100% free for learning Japanese, similar to Monkeytype in the typing community. Unfortunately, pretty much all language learning apps are closed-sourced and paid these days, and the ones that are free have unfortunately been abandoned. But of course, just creating yet another language learning app was not enough - there has to be a unique selling point. And then I thought to myself: why not make it crazy and do what no other language learning app ever did by adding a gazillion…

Talanoa▲341Hi 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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
