What it does

Extension for Visual Studio Code - We write and maintain docstrings for your code automatically!

Documentation sucks. Let us take care of it! Just click anywhere in your function and press Alt + D ( ⌘ + D on Mac). Trelent uses AI to write documentation for your functions instantly. Trelent currently supports C#, Java, JavaScript and Python docstrings. We default to the standard formats in each language (XML, JavaDoc, JSDoc, and ReST respectively), and for Python we additionally support the Google and Numpy docstring formats. Support for additional languages is on our roadmap. If you have any other suggestions we would love to hear from you at [email protected] ! We cannot guaruntee 100% accuracy with the docstrings we write. Always review generated documentation to check for errors.…from marketplace.visualstudio.com

    I built Nogic, a VSCode extension currently, because AI tools make code grow faster than developers can build a mental model by jumping between files. Exploring structure visually has been helping me onboard to unfamiliar codebases faster. It’s early and rough, but usable. Would love feedback on whether this is useful and what relationships are most valuable to visualize.

    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…

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
