Show HN: Cocommit – A copilot for git commit

I've built a lightweight copilot that integrates with Git commits, leveraging LangChain to support multiple LLM providers. I currently use it with Claude 3.7 (via Bedrock) and OpenAI’s GPT-4o, but I’d love to see how it performs with other LLMs.<p>If you have access to any LangChain-supported LLMs, I’d really appreciate a quick test! Your feedback via GitHub Issues would be invaluable in improving the project.<p>Thanks in advance!

Show HN: A website for sharing the "Good, Bad, and Why"s of urban spaces

Hello HN! We're a small team in Kyoto building a website called dédédé (<a href="https://dedede.de/en" rel="nofollow">https://dedede.de/en</a>) that invites people to share the various positives, negatives, oddities, etc. they find in urban spaces.<p>The project grew out of an earlier effort where we'd built an app that assisted participatory urbanism workshops run by local nonprofits. With the new platform, we're trying to build something similar but more casual and hopefully with broader appeal, that'll be fun to use even outside of formal workshop situations.<p>We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Show HN: Generate docs from your public repos

Hello HN, I’m Andrew from docs.dev (<a href="https://docs.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.dev/</a>), an AI powered docs assistant. With docs.dev you can generate your docs directly from your codebase, existing docs and other context sources.<p>We don’t believe AI will replace technical writers—our goal is to make it easier for teams to get a solid first draft that they can review, edit, and improve. Think of it as a head start, not a finished product.<p>More info on what we’ve built below but we wanted to release a quick, 1 minute, generate docs from your codebase tool. Try it out here: <a href="https://app.docs.dev/generate-docs-instantly" rel="nofollow">https://app.docs.dev/generate-docs-instantly</a>.<p>We built this page, so folks could generate some docs easily and quickly on some of their open source projects. It is still new so let us know if there are bugs but feel free to give it a try! It should work on any moderately sized public repo on GitHub.<p>Why build another docs tool? We believe there are many great tools out there to help teams host their docs and make them look great, but that there aren’t enough tools to help teams manage the content that goes into them. We found that often there’s a disconnect between the devs shipping code and the teams managing the docs, often leading to delays in getting new features out the door or outdated docs. We kept hearing that the only thing worse than no docs is incorrect docs.<p>So, we built tools to help you manage docs directly from your codebase—no special platforms or vendor lock-in required. With docs.dev you can not only generate first drafts of new docs, but also audit your existing docs in bulk, analyze them for effectiveness, and keep everything up to date as the product changes.<p>docs.dev can: Work with any markdown-powered framework Generate clean markdown files synced with your GitHub repo Support existing markdown docs, your codebase, and even Slack threads as context<p>More info at docs.dev (<a href="https://docs.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.dev/</a>) and on our docs page (<a href="https://learn.docs.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://learn.docs.dev/</a>)<p>We’d love for you to check us out and welcome any feedback, criticism, suggestions, questions, or ideas! Thanks so much for reading!

Show HN: macOS app to reduce eye strain (open-source)

my first app, a Mac menu bar utility to remind you to blink more. any feedback would be much appreciated. or make it your own and share :)

Show HN: Fingernotes – handwritten notes which become their own preview image

Hi HN, I've lurked here for ages and decided to come out of the shadows for my latest side project which reached the point where it’s sort of fun to use and hopefully not totally embarrassing to share.<p>Hacking fingernotes.com together over a couple of weeks was a creative outlet when work got stressful. I think of it as digital sticky notes. The goal was to make notes with a personal touch that are easy to write and share. I also wanted them to appear as their own link preview image on supported platforms. That way when you send the link to a note, the person sees the message without following the link.<p>Let me know what you think!<p>I drew inspiration from Apple's quick notes: low latency made scribbling a pleasure, and sending notes to friends felt warm and original compared to a typical exchange. It was also intriguing to see my handwriting printed in a message chat. In a time of rising artificial generation, spreading my clumsy handwriting feels like an act of rebellion.<p>But I dislike the light background in Apple notes, which I don't think you can change when sharing. More importantly, no one sent a note back. With fingernotes the low-friction interaction is meant to make creating notes simple. I also find the image previews aesthetically more pleasing.<p>For implementation, fingernotes are publicly accessible links to collections of strokes that have been persisted to a Cloudflare D1 database and rendered in SVG. Like pen on a sticky note, each stroke is immutable but anyone can add to a note if they have the link. You can't undo strokes, so if you mess up your note just throw it out and start a new one. Having append-only collections avoids handling order of operations when multiple people edit the same note. Hosting it as a Cloudflare worker made it easy to get up and running. There's some latency in Safari on iOS which is absent on desktop. It's noticeable compared to Apple notes and I'm afraid it's a limitation of the browser.

Show HN: Feudle – A daily puzzle game built with AI

I’m a game show nerd who wanted to build a game, despite not being a developer. Using ChatGPT, I created Feudle – a blend of Family Feud and Wordle.<p>Each day, there’s a survey question, and players try to guess the most popular responses—but the twist is that today’s answers come from real players who played yesterday. After playing, you can vote on or submit new questions, shaping future Feudles.<p>If I were to start again, I’d explore newer AI-assisted coding tools like Cursor, but overall, this was a great learning experience. Hopefully, this inspires others to experiment with AI tools to bring their ideas to life.<p>Any feedback? Any tips for AI tools I should explore when iterating on the game?

Show HN: I'm a teacher and built an AI presentation tool

Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers.<p>I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback.<p>I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think.<p>Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too.<p><a href="https://www.slidehero.ai/" rel="nofollow">https://www.slidehero.ai/</a><p>You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;)<p>Cheers, Eli
