X Writer – VS Code extension to post tweets from your editor

In plain words

X Writer is a VS Code extension that lets developers post tweets directly from their editor using their own X API credentials. It stores keys locally for security, respects the free tier's 17-tweet daily limit, and intentionally skips timeline reading to prevent distraction. Built for developers sharing coding updates without context-switching to a browser, it's open source and available on the VS Code marketplace.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN, I built this extension because the context switching was killing my productivity. Every time I switched to the browser to share a coding update (#BuildInPublic), I ended up doomscrolling for 20 minutes and losing my flow. Since existing extensions broke with the X API v2 changes, I decided to build my own…

  Built a free VS Code extension to help share code updates2024 · marketplace.visualstudio.com · ▲23

  Hi HN, I built a free, and completely open source, visual studio code extension, which generates tweets based on commits you select. While I was working on webtilities.com, an idea came to me: wouldn't it be cool that I could market this thing inside my editor. Ah, i'm truly lazy. Well, I spent a week building this thing that I bet no one will need because: * "This wont work. My commit messages are terrible" * "This is stupid, I can just use ChatGPT/Gemini/[Insert Chat Platform] directly" * "This is stupid, I get BILLED for using openai tokens" ... And the list goes on. But, I…

  Talanoa▲346

  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…

  22 GB of Hacker News in SQLite▲730

  Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
