Show HN: My Attempt to Organize the World of AI Dev Tools https://bit.ly/4isSlXc

Show HN: My Attempt to Organize the World of AI Dev Tools I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome. https://bit.ly/41OoLnX March 21, 2025 at 12:22PM

Show HN: Claude Code vs. Aider – Comparing Two Command Line Coding Utilities https://bit.ly/41Hzssk

Show HN: Claude Code vs. Aider – Comparing Two Command Line Coding Utilities I reviewed Anthropic's newly released Claude Code and compared it to Aider. CC has a great design, and I'll be using it sometimes (especially in large code bases), but I'm sticking with Aider as my primary tool for now. If you use LLM coding tools on the command line, then I hope you'll find this useful! https://bit.ly/4il1Lnq March 20, 2025 at 02:26AM

Show HN: I Built My Startup Using My Own AI Tool–Here's What Happened https://bit.ly/4bHJsX4

Show HN: I Built My Startup Using My Own AI Tool–Here's What Happened Hey all, I’ve always believed that starting a business should be easier. The brainstorming, the research, the branding—it’s exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. I wanted a tool that could take an idea and fast-track it into reality. So, I built it. StarterPilot. An AI-powered platform designed to help entrepreneurs go from “what if?” to “let’s launch” in record time. But here’s the crazy part—I used my own tool to build my startup. I started with my idea—an AI-driven assistant that could validate business concepts. Within seconds, StarterPilot analyzed market demand, revenue potential, and even risks. It gave me insights that would’ve taken weeks to research on my own. Next, I needed a name. Instead of agonizing over it, I let the AI Name Generator do the work. It suggested creative, available names, and even checked domain and social media availability instantly. Branding? Done. The AI Icon Generator created a sleek logo in seconds. I tweaked a few designs in chat, and boom—my startup had a face. Then came the landing page. This part usually requires hiring a developer or wrestling with templates. Instead, StarterPilot generated a professional-looking page for me in minutes. I made a few AI-assisted edits, and just like that, my startup was online. It was surreal. The same tool I built to help entrepreneurs had just launched me. Now, I’m using it to help others turn their ideas into real businesses—without the stress, without the guesswork. If you’ve ever had a business idea but didn’t know where to start, maybe this is the shortcut you need. https://bit.ly/4bHhMSj March 20, 2025 at 12:44AM

Show HN: MCP-Kafka – Natural Language Interface for Kafka Commands https://bit.ly/4kTaAXt

Show HN: MCP-Kafka – Natural Language Interface for Kafka Commands I built a Model Context Protocol server that allows users to interact with Kafka using natural language instead of complex CLIs. It uses LLMs to interpret commands in plain English and executes the corresponding Kafka operations. This makes Kafka more accessible to non-experts while maintaining its powerful functionality. https://bit.ly/4bGVqAf March 18, 2025 at 10:48AM

Show HN: I made a worldwide sexual life dashboard The idea is to share data-based insights about sexual life I’ve worked in SexEd startups, and it’s wild that humanity doesn’t have this data. Most major academic studies have focused on sex primarily from a health and reproduction perspective, leaving many important and interesting questions unexplored (for many reasons) To promote transparency, the anonymous data will be open-sourced, allowing researchers, students and anyone interested to analyze it https://bit.ly/4hHv4PK March 19, 2025 at 02:32AM

Show HN: A bi-directional, persisted KV store that is faster than Redis https://bit.ly/3DJj2HY

Show HN: A bi-directional, persisted KV store that is faster than Redis we've been working on a KV store for the past year or so which is 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted! so you get the speed of in-memory KV stores but with disk persistence. To achieve this we've created our custom filesystem that is optimized for our special usecase and we're doing smart batching for writes and predictive fetching for reads. In addition to basic operations, it also provides atomic inc/dec, atomic json patch, range scans and a unique key monitoring mechanism (pub-sub) over WebSockets which essentially allows you to receive notification on registered key changes directly from the KV store. so for example in a realtime web application, you can receive notifications directly in your front-end, with no back-end implementation (no WebSocket server management, no relay etc.) and still be secure and not expose your API keys on front-end. We have REST, WebSocket and RIOC API and we can't wait to hear your feedback. We're only providing the free tier for now but let us know and we can increase the limits for you, if have a specific case. please either send us an email to support@hpkv.io or use https://bit.ly/429fGal if you prefer that way. sign up: https://bit.ly/4kXdREO documentation: https://bit.ly/42ctCjS realtime pub-sub: https://bit.ly/3FyCzLL benchmark vs Redis: https://bit.ly/3RfuONc looking forward to hear your feedback :) https://bit.ly/3FyCAPP March 17, 2025 at 01:35PM

Show HN: JobMatchAI reads job descriptions for you and filters out bad ones https://bit.ly/3XS66Gk

Show HN: JobMatchAI reads job descriptions for you and filters out bad ones when I was searching for jobs on Linkedin/Ziprecruiter/Indeed, they only give you a keyword search and I still had to read a bunch of job descriptions that I am not qualified for and that I didn't like. this wastes a lot of time reading descriptions. This program puts all the desirable jobs at the top. I think its the most valuable for workers early in their career where they don't have recruiters messaging them and have to search and apply manually. If you want I can run the program for you https://bit.ly/41s1Oqp... https://bit.ly/4i9gTnU March 16, 2025 at 02:43AM

Show HN: Swig – A PostgreSQL-powered job queue system for Go https://bit.ly/4bWlC9Z

Show HN: Swig – A PostgreSQL-powered job queue system for Go I built Swig, a job queue system for Go that leverages PostgreSQL's advanced features for distributed processing. It's currently in alpha, and I'd love feedback from the community. What is Swig? Swig is a robust job queue system for Go applications that uses PostgreSQL as its backend. Unlike many job queues that require separate infrastructure, Swig leverages your existing PostgreSQL database, making it simpler to deploy and maintain. Key Features: - Race-free job distribution using SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED - Real-time job processing with LISTEN/NOTIFY - Leader election via advisory locks - Priority queues and scheduled jobs - Transactional job enqueueing (jobs can be part of your application transactions) - Multiple database driver support (pgx and database/sql) Why I Built It: I wanted to deepen my understanding of PostgreSQL's concurrency features and distributed systems patterns. While there are other PostgreSQL-backed queues, I wanted to build something specifically for Go that embraces idiomatic patterns and provides a clean, type-safe API while fully leveraging PostgreSQL's powerful features for distributed coordination. Current Status: This is an alpha release and a passion project. The core functionality works, but there are still rough edges and missing features. I'm actively working on improvements and would appreciate feedback, issues, and contributions or shoot me an email ogbemudiatimothy@gmail.com https://bit.ly/4bujWVd March 15, 2025 at 10:17PM

Show HN: Web Audio Spring-Mass Synthesis https://bit.ly/4hg5QrN

Show HN: Web Audio Spring-Mass Synthesis Hi, I'm the author of this little Web Audio toy which does physical modeling synthesis using a simple spring-mass system. My current area of research is in sparse, event-based encodings of musical audio ( https://bit.ly/4h7i99G... ). I'm very interested in decomposing audio signals into a description of the "system" (e.g., room, instrument, vocal tract, etc.) and a sparse "control signal" which describes how and when energy is injected into that system. This toy was a great way to start learning about physical modeling synthesis, which seems to be the next stop in my research journey. I was also pleasantly surprised at what's possible these days writing custom Audio Worklets! https://bit.ly/4ixdPSw March 14, 2025 at 10:27PM
