Smolex – A code retrieval ChatGPT Plugin for Python

In plain words

Smolex is a ChatGPT plugin that allows the AI to retrieve code directly from a Python codebase running on localhost. Instead of manually gathering code snippets for context, developers can have ChatGPT pull relevant files and existing tests automatically, making code discussions more conversational. This is particularly useful when writing new tests based on existing ones. The tool runs locally and is in experimental stages.

In the maker’s words, at launch

The problem: We're chatting with ChatGPT about our code, right? And we've got to manually piece together a context to feed the AI, especially when that token limit comes into play. ;) Here's where Smolex jumps in. It allows ChatGPT to pull up context directly from your codebase (it's a plugin that just runs on…

  AI explanations for other people’s code2023 · whatdoesthiscodedo.com · ▲186

  Hi 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…

  Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years▲1,943

  Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
