Show HN: Spaghettify – A VSCode Extension to make your code worse with AI
Recently, I saw Github Next Code Brushes (<a href="https://githubnext.com/projects/code-brushes" rel="nofollow">https://githubnext.com/projects/code-brushes</a>) which is a VSCode extension that can use AI to do things like make your code more readable, add types, etc.<p>This inspired me: what if there was an extension that could use AI to make your code worse as well?<p>Meet Spaghettify. An extension I developed that can do things like:<p>- Obscure your code<p>- Introduce a bug<p>- Make the variable names way too descriptive<p>- Use nonsymmetrical whitespace<p>- Add irrelevant/rambling comments<p>- Document the code with emoji<p>- Document the code in any style (Dirty Limerick, Fast Talkin' 1930s Gangster)<p>I built this extension over the last couple of days and released it in collaboration with BCAD.one. It's available on the VSCode Marketplace, you will need an OpenAI API Key to use it. You can grab it here:<p>(<a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=BCAD.spaghettify" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=BCAD.spa...</a>)<p>Code here:<p><a href="https://github.com/BeforeCutieAfterDoggo/spaghettify">https://github.com/BeforeCutieAfterDoggo/spaghettify</a>

Show HN: PodText.ai – Search anything said on a podcast, highlight text to play
Hi HN, wanted to share a project that I’ve been working on recently.<p>PodText allows users to find anything said on a podcast. You can also listen and share clips to a specific part of the podcast audio, simply by highlighting the text of that part. Currently there are just over 25k podcast episodes and I’m adding a lot more in the coming weeks (yes my GPU bill is painful).<p>In order to monetize it, I’m building a sponsorship database to help sponsors find podcasts and vice versa. This will be sold in the form of a $99/month “PodText Business” subscription. I bet I could charge a lot more to large sponsors but I’ll tweak that as I talk to potential customers.<p>Right now the UI is very bare bones (doesn’t even have pagination) but I’ll polish it once the data pipeline is working well. Please let me know if you run into any bugs or have any questions about the site or business model.<p>PS: I'm a regular on HN using my real name but can't post under that account since my employer will fire me if they found out about this project :-)

Show HN: We built an open-source LaunchDarkly alternative for B2Bs
Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. Last week, we open-sourced Enrolla (<a href="https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla">https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla</a>) - feature management for SaaS companies. It makes it easy for developers to control how their product behaves for customers in different pricing tiers. So things like which features are enabled for whom, rate limits and seat limits, but also your customer secrets (with end-to-end encryption), and other configurations.<p>After 15 years of working together at various companies, where we rebuilt the same SaaS foundation layer again and again - we wanted to create something reliable and feature-rich that will be available for everyone.
We now have a backoffice UI, a backend and SDKs for managing customer features and a way to manage pricing tiers on top of it. We plan to add more features around metering and integration with Stripe, so that ideally Enrolla can be used to bootstrap any new SaaS software in minutes.<p>We’ve launched this repo under the MIT license so any developer can use it. The goal is not to charge individual developers. We make money by charging a license fee for enterprise features like Salesforce/Hubspot and SSO integrations.<p>Give it a try (<a href="https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla">https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla</a>), and let us know what you think!<p>Main website: <a href="https://www.enrolla.io">https://www.enrolla.io</a>
