Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026) on Sunday February 08, 2026 @05:57PM (#46939461)
I'm working on a chrome extension that helps answering "Cover letter / Tell us about the time when... / Why do you want to work at..." questions in job application forms.

You can bookmark a job description (it will be parsed), then paste a question and it generates an answer based on your resume, the job description, and your previously given answers for similar questions in other applications. The generated answer can be refined through a follow-up chat and exported as a PDF. It also works as a simple job application tracker.

Saves me tons of time and effort every day!

Solo-building this project for some time, going to launch the first version in a week or so!

https://elmo.dev - a tool that automatically builds a searchable knowledge base around your project based on your conversation with coding tools.

It works automatically and doesn't require your attention. To build KB it uses same tool as you (claude/codex/gemini) so it uses the same quota and you don't have to pay additionally for the AI running it.

The result is ./elmodocs directory in the root of your project. You can reference CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/GEMINI.md to this directory or directly include the whole directory or its parts into the coding context.

Thank for the feedback! I'm working on the update and will definitely address problems you've mentioned: - windows is not supported currently, i will add windows binary download link - i will add public profile page that can be shared as well as feature some nice replays on the main page - google login

Are you more interested in live streaming or just having a place to keep your coding replays?

Re:Show HN: Shellcast.tv – Stream your vibe coding on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @02:37PM (#45201888)
Thanks for pointing this out, I haven't seen this tool before
Re:Show HN: Shellcast.tv – Stream your vibe coding on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @11:19AM (#45199049)
The replay is not a video actually, but termial io events reconstruction :) Anyway, what you suggest is really awesome! i'm going to add a personal publicly available link that can be shared with anybody and where you can organize your replays. Is that something you want to see before streaming your development process?
Re:Show HN: Shellcast.tv – Stream your vibe coding on Tuesday September 09, 2025 @07:14PM (#45190785)
Thank you! There is no pricing for now and stream and its replay are available to anyone with the link. More sophisticated privacy settings are on the list. I'm really interested in how people might use this tool before going for heavy product features.
Re:Show HN: Shellcast.tv – Stream your vibe coding on Tuesday September 09, 2025 @06:47PM (#45190476)
Yes, I'll definitely feature the best streams on the main page once there will appear any :)

Apart from this great app, what is the current state of the art in vibe coding iOS apps? Just using Cursor with an open iOS simulator?

Re:LLM Agents Are Simply Graph – Tutorial for Dummies on Thursday March 20, 2025 @11:14AM (#43424526)
I like the minimalistic approach! How to test such agents?
Is it somehow different from Cursor codebase indexing/chat? I’m using this setup to analyse repos currently.

Why using llm to chose a proxy if you can just rotate starting from the cheapest based on not getting 403?

I'm founder of this startup. During our work as mobile developers we have created a set of automation tools which now we suggest to mobile developers as a service. It is not fully automated, we still do a lot of manual work, but thanks to machine learning we are reducing this gap.

Any critics and questions are welcome!
