Hey HN,

It’s Eric, Nick, Garrett, and Caleb from the SideGuide team.

We’re excited to announce Mendable, a GitHub action that automatically suggests fixes for your GitHub issues with GPT-3. You can test it out right now with any Github Issue on our website!

Open-source maintainers hold the internet on their shoulders. But maintenance can be a thankless job. Issues pile up; the longer you wait to respond, the less happy users will be. We hope Mendable will ease the burden on open-source and help maintainers spend more time on meaningful work.

We’ve been exploring tools to help with developer experience for a while. With SideGuide, we built a community of 50k developers on our Instagram and watched the Discord server grow to thousands of developers. That’s when we noticed how difficult it was to answer all the questions and engage with our community.

So, we built Mendable. In its current form, Mendable is a Github action that connects to the GPT-3 API via our server. It senses when new issues are opened, then picks a prompt based on the tag the user places in the issue. Our immediate next steps will be to add support for questions on Discord and Slack, and build a tool that allows you to review responses before they post (via discord, slack, or email). Once OpenAI releases fine-tuning support for text-davinci-003, we will explore training our model to improve the quality of the responses.

Right now, Mendable is just an MVP but we have some useful features. Some are available now, with others coming soon:

- Instant Issue Solver

- Different Tag, Different Solution

If you’ve made it this far, thank you . We’re excited to hear the HN community's feedback and suggestions. We have a long way to go, but we hope Mendable will help make maintenance as easy as possible!

Best, E, C, G, N from SideGuide
