News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Gotcha! will take a deeper look. thanks :)
I like the idea of timestamping docs. How often do you run into something being "annoyingly out of date"? Asking because it happens alot for us with onboarding docs specially. I am trying to find out what we are doing wrong
This is a very interesting idea. but I foresee two challenges here: (1) it sounds like alot of maitnance to keep a set of annotated tests that updates docs. (2) this does not sound like a solution for a company which produces handful of system behavior explaining docs on a daily basis. it looks like it is more so intended with low level documentation
Sorry. In that case I used a bad word. I probably should have said internal docs that explain some specific flow or behavior of the system. A good example is one that onboards new devs.
Is that ideal for example for onboarding new developers? Our challenge is we are are starting to hire but we also move very fast and every time we refer people to our onboarding docs, they come back confused because some essential thing is now deprecated.
How is design docs different from technical docs?
Hello Hacker News!

We're thrilled to unveil Pacely, your AI-powered development buddy in a fully featured project management tool that is set to revolutionize your software development process.

We've all experienced the slow pace of software development. From ticket creation to closure, countless hours are spent communicating context, locating and understanding relevant code, designing solutions, seeking feedback, implementing, and testing. These manual steps consume a significant amount of time and cognitive effort.

What if we could change that by offloading many of the cognitive tasks to AI? That's where Pacely comes in. Pacely connects to your GitHub repositories, learns your code, and becomes your development companion. It provides step-by-step guidelines for tasks, walks you through code, helps you find, analyze, and fix bugs, offers system design advice, and more. Available on Slack, Pacely reduces time spent asking questions, waiting for answers, onboarding new employees, analyzing problems, and brainstorming. Imagine an engineer who knows everything about the code and is always online.

Below is a list of a few example queries Pacely can help with:

- There is a bug with monthly plan renewals: some of the customers were charged twice this month. help me find the bug. - Walk me through how bitcoin payment is received and processed in the system. - Winner determination logic has become very slow. help me investigate. - Provide an initial system design for accepting Ethereum. Focus on making it consistant with how we accept bitcoin. - Help me write some tests for method 'rank_plays!' in class 'Match' - Explain method 'deliver_prizes!' in class 'Match'

Possibilities are endless.

This powerful AI assistant does not come alone, of course, but is built on top of a fully-featured project management platform designed to streamline your workflow and boost productivity. In addition to sprints, estimations, burnup charts, subtasking, filtering, batch updates, epics, labels, GitHub development tracking, and Slack notifications, we've paid attention to details that may not be obvious at first sight but address some long-standing pain points in project management. These include the ability to have multiple backlogs using stacks, enabling sub-stories to inherit the parent's ID with a suffix counter, automatic detection of uncompleted stories upon finishing sprints and giving you options to move them to other stacks, putting the sprint progress chart right in front of your eyes, giving you a bird's eye view of all stacks when you are planning the upcoming sprints, moving completed stories to the bottom of stacks automatically, flexible sprint lifecycle, and much more.

We're beyond excited to share Pacely with the Product Hunt community and would love to hear your feedback.

Quick feedback on the landing page. try to make it more clear as to what problem is this solving instead of being abstract. I would avoid putting an interactive widget at the top of your page. Pretty much ask yourself: "How many seconds does it take my visitors to guess what exactly this does" if initially that is 10 seconds and you manage to redudce it to 5 its a huge improvement. goodluck.
