Token compression CLI to save Codex/Astra costs

In plain words

This command-line tool helps developers reduce token usage when working with Codex and Astra APIs, lowering associated costs. It compresses input text and code before sending requests to these services. The tool is designed for developers who frequently use Codex or Astra and want to minimize their API expenses. It stands out by offering a straightforward way to optimize token consumption without requiring changes to existing workflows.

  Onboard-CLI, a LLM powered and AST-based tool to visualize codebaseJul 2026 · github.com · ▲24

  Onboard-CLI—a blazing-fast developer tool I built in Go. It uses AST parsing (Tree-sitter) to map out codebase architecture and automatically blocks spaghetti code and bad dependencies locally before you even commit. I heavily optimized the concurrency, so it can parse 50k+ files in under 10 seconds.

  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…
