not really (just saw Show HN is only for one owns projects). i don't have any credits in this. Edited

measuring humor might be halfway to measuring taste. congrats on this... really original contribution. wonder if you're planning to evolve the benchmark to incorporate a multi-language dimension. would love to see how Mistral and models built outside the US would perform.
I really like the concept, reminds me of dupehound https://github.com/Rafaelpta/dupehound
Litepipe does have PII redaction and privacy controls, but tbh in some regulated industries this might be too early to adopt. Not bcs of the tech but legal and compliance. I don't see regulated industries being the right fit for now.
Thanks, could you elaborate more on how would you use it? Have tested options for capturing context such as Screenpipe and Littlebird?
good one. most likely the capture engine will not even be something that makes sense in 2 yrs. i don't have an answer for this tbh. thoughts?
Thank you, lmk if there is something I can improve
Makes sense. Connecting to an agent is something that already works. The memory is plain SQLite and media files in a local folder on your Mac, so you can point any agent straight at it. I am also shipping an MCP as suggested above in the discussion.
Great ideia, just opened an issue here: https://github.com/Rafaelpta/litepipe/issues/1 will let you know when the MCP is ready
Interesting... How a tool would need to look like for you to use in your industry? Have you looked for note-taking apps before? If yes, why you didn't stick w them?

Yeah, that is pretty much what it does already: it tries to recognize test files and skip them. Dupehound is available for 12 languages Today.

Some languages like RUst you mentioned, have a clear tag that says "this is a test," but others do not, so the tool has to guess from file names and ends up missing some and skipping too much.

Also as I mentioned on the answer below, sometimes you actually do want to see the repeats inside tests, or normal code repeats on purpose too. So I am leaning toward letting users wave off one specific case by hand instead of skipping everything blindly.

Using dupehound for identifying duplicated code.

What I use for: I use for identifying duplicated code. It is deterministic, doesn't use AI, offline, runs from CLI and is super fast (and free).

What I dislike: I won't say it I dislike, but it is not a tool that does all the jobs of a code review. For instance, it doesn't flag security issues. It is superfocused on code duplication (it performs better than Sonar for this use case) and is specifically useful for large codebases.

Re:Terminal UIs Are an Abomination. AI Needs Better UX on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @12:04PM (#48557405)
agreed, but imo terminal and any conversational interface is not a silver bullet. Example: signup up for a ai assistant that lives in the email. Can't cancelled it bcs the founder assumed that since you ask anything in natural language every problem the user might have is solved. This is just pushing problems to users.
