Wow, what a gem, thanks for recommending this! https://mschfhotels.com/products/flipped-flop …

Yes! The servers will look lit without those ugly cables. Zero-downtime cross-rack migrations will become possible.

If I ever become filthy rich, I would like to start companies around nonsensical products. Just to see how long you can make it last until potential customers and applicants are like "but this do…

If you have the skills, and the bottom line is still positive (include opportunity costs and personnel costs, ease of getting SOC2 / ISO certification if that's relevant to you, ease of scal…

Thanks for the support! Haystack is definitely interesting. I'm following a bunch of companies in this space, like Haystack, Greptile, Territory.dev, IcePanel, Spectral, Codeviz.ai, eraser.io.

But most of the coding assistants were glorified autocomplete. What agentic IDEs/aider/etc. can now do is definitely new.

Web app with a VueJS, Typescript frontend and a Rust backend, some Postgres functions and some reasonably complicated algorithms for parsing git history.

Large parts of my coding are now done by Claude/Cursor. I give it high level tasks and it just does it. It is honestly incredible, and if I would have see this 2 years ago I wouldn't have be…

No but I will set up a Show HN in a couple of weeks. Keep on the lookout for comper.io

Cool! Do you have plans to launch a paid offering? The website makes me think it's a company but I didn't see any pricing / sales details.

Super cool, working on something similar ad git truck but for all repos in a company and viewable via a web interface

Lots of good ideas in your comments, thanks. Like you say, you want call-graphs, hot-spots from your monitoring systems, seeing user interaction diagrams, links to other components, amount of engineer…

It's interesting how everyone reading my description must have a different picture in their mind :) Right now I'm doing super simple treemaps, but I'm close to starting work on diagram …

We need more standardization in the software world so that we can reason about how the systems work. Laravel and this new offering are a great example of that. Bravo!

I took inspiration from GitDiagram.com but pass a "richer" description of the codebase into the LLMs based on info from tree-sitter. It generates explanatory diagrams quite OK, but this is o…

Cool. My long-term vision for software development would be to make a new programming environment that structures code in ASTs and stores it in a database rather than file based. However, that will ha…

Only to prospective buyers/partners/team members for now, as I need to carefully manage my time. If that's you, please reach out :) In any case, based on the interest in this thread I&#…

Fractional CTO. See sibling comments for a bit more detail.

I interviewed ~10 CTOs and the problem of codebases being too difficult to understand, people outside of the team having no clue what's happening and documentation being outdated is obvious to ev…

There are engines for this. I started out with Fabric.JS but it turned very slow with hundreds of repos. Then I moved to PixiJS (a game engine) which is super fast. I feel like I'll need to move …

Thanks, that seems useful! Too bad my entire backend is in Rust and works directly on git repos instead of checked out code. I want to build a local company in my city of Utrecht, primarily on-site. T…

This isn't a problem for me. I mostly stopped getting interest from recruiters when I became CTO. Now I just get calls from CEOs or CPOs etc and they understand what I offer them. I have a rule f…

People ask if I'm available and if I find the work interesting and they can pay me I say yes. I have never looked for work since starting and have slightly more requests than I can fulfill (almos…

Still a lot of thinking to be done here to be honest. I've built a very fast canvas with zoom-to-code, parsing the git history, code age overlays etc, but understanding the architecture and conne…

Demo yes, feel free to reach out if you'd be willing to pay as I'm slowly starting to look for beta customers. You can also ask me to be put on the waiting list. Downloadable: I think in abo…

Thanks! If you or other interested people in this thread are in a position to pay for it, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you!

I think I have a solution for that but can't spill all the beans ;) I love IcePanel btw, awesome product and awesome team.

I'm creating an infinite canvas that has all your organization's code and documentation on it. If you zoom in, you can see the code, if you zoom out you see the big picture. By giving everyt…

That's indeed what I do, the application has one LISTEN connection and distributes the messages over its connected clients.

Thank you! As for a bit more context, I have an tokio async Rust app which does LISTEN and forwards all messages to a (for now unbounded) tokio::sync::broadcast channel. As the Rust program handles th…
