    Codebasechat.com – Make a GPT chatbot for any GitHub Repo in 30 seconds2023 · ▲12

    Hi HN - I’m excited to share a fun side project we built recently CodebaseChat.com is a tool for building a GPT chatbot for any GitHub repo in 30 seconds It can be helpful when onboarding to new codebases, when needing help understanding system design, asking for less technical explanations of functionality We’ve been heads down building Context.ai, the analytics platform for LLM products. When OpenAI released GPTs earlier this month, we built one to answer questions about our growing codebase. It worked so well that we decided to open source the utility for other dev teams How it works: -…

    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…

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
