What it does

Patch is an open source AI agent that detects breaking API changes and dependency updates, then opens a pull request with the fix, automatically.

Contribute to patchhq/patch development by creating an account on GitHub.

Detect upstream API breaking changes, dependency updates, and open PRs that fix your TypeScript/JavaScript codebase. npx patch init Confirms connectors → writes patch.config.json → scaffolds a GitHub Action. Then scheduled patch scan opens a PR or Issue when an API breaks. Install/run via @patch-dev/cli (the unscoped npm name patch is a different package). Equivalent: npx -y --package=@patch-dev/cli patch init . https://github.com/patchhq/patch/raw/main/docs/demo/patch-demo.mp4 # In your TS/JS repo npx patch init --yes npx patch scan --dry-run Env Purpose ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY LLM classify/fix (required — see below) GITHUB_TOKEN or Patch GitHub App Open PRs/Issues (else…from github.com

    Hi 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, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
