Scout0
Hiya HN, I built Scout, an AI code review tool that helps you learn instead of just patch code. Tools like ChatGPT or Copilot make it really easy to get working code. But it's also easy to skip understanding! You paste, it runs, you move on, hit the same bug again later. I remember the days when I looked on stackoverflow for help. Ever since the launch of ChatGPT, I had began to over rely on AI to do my coding and thinking for me... I knew AI was a valuable tool, I just had to find a way to use it well. For me that was with a simple Next app running off of localhost. I realized others might…

What it does
Scout: AI code review for learning. Analyzes security, performance, quality & bugs. Explains what's wrong and WHY. Gives ratings + concrete improvements. For bootcamp students, solo founders, self-taught devs who want to understand their code.
In the maker’s words, at launch

AI explanations for other people’s code2023 · whatdoesthiscodedo.com · ▲186Hi HN, As a developer, I much prefer to write code than read other people’s code. But most projects I work on involve other developers so it’s hard to avoid. Often I find it really hard to quickly parse other people’s code so I thought maybe ChatGPT could help. ChatGPT does a really nice job of giving clear explanations when you paste in code and ask it to explain it. But the interface is a bit of a pain to use if you’re using it many times a day. It’s also hard to share explanations with co-workers. So I built whatdoesthiscodedo.com. Just paste your code and get your ChatGPT explanation and…
Scout QA - AI Quality Companion2025 · scoutqa.ai · ▲13We’ve been working on Scout QA, a tool that uses AI to catch subtle bugs that usually slip past manual testing and reviews. Instead of focusing on test automation, Scout analyzes your app’s UI, flows, and logs to surface tiny inconsistencies — things like broken states, unclear error messages, or small regressions that humans might ignore because “it still works.” The goal isn’t to replace testers but to act like an extra pair of curious eyes — pointing out issues that affect real users’ experience. We’re exploring questions like: - How can an AI develop an intuition for “something feels…

PrompTessor2025 · promptessor.com · ▲125After countless hours of solo coding, designing, and iterating, I’m both excited and nervous to share my first-ever product: PrompTessor — now live. As someone who constantly experiments with AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney, I often found myself stuck in a loop of trial-and-error. The issue wasn’t always the AI — it was often the prompt itself. That observation became the starting point for PrompTessor. This tool doesn’t just optimize your prompt — it analyzes it. It gives you: - A prompt score - A breakdown of strengths and weaknesses - A fully optimized version of your prompt - And…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
