Traycer – AI-Powered Code Analysis in Real Time for VSCode
Hey HN, we're thrilled to announce the alpha launch of Traycer, our new AI-driven code reviewer that works in the background as you code. During this initial phase, Traycer is completely free until the end of June and will remain free indefinitely for all open-source projects. You can install Traycer from the VSCode marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Traycer....). Why Traycer? As developers, we know the challenge of ensuring code quality while balancing productivity. AI-powered code generators have simplified coding but often miss the nuances that…

Traycer is totally free for open-source projects, and we've got a 2-week free trial if you're working with private repos. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Continue – Open-source coding autopilot2023 · github.com · ▲298Hi HN, we’re Nate and Ty, co-founders of Continue, an open-source autopilot for software development built to be deeply customizable and continuously learn from development data. It consists of an extended language server and (to start) a VS Code extension. Our GitHub is https://github.com/continuedev/continue. You can watch a demo of Continue and download the extension at https://continue.dev — — — A growing number of developers are replacing Google + Stack Overflow with Large Language Models (LLMs) as their primary approach to get help, similar to how…
We built an AI to review your pull requests2025 · infinitcode.ai · ▲53Hey HN, We’re two developers (co-founders) with a team of 20 who got tired of spending hours reviewing PRs, so we built Infinitcode.ai, an AI-powered code reviewer that: - *Summarizes PRs in plain English*: No more deciphering 1,000-line diff jungles - *Catches more than bugs*: Security holes, performance pitfalls, code smells, even typos (yes, we’ll flag “vurnerabilities” and vulnerabilities) - *Zero onboarding*: Works instantly—no “let me learn your codebase for weeks” nonsense. Why we’re posting: We’re in alpha and need brutal honesty. Roast our tool, mock our UI, or tell us why AI will…
- FLFree local security checks for AI coding in VSCode, Cursor and Windsurf2025 · ▲43
Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…
