News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Just added the option to choose. You can now give less permissions and only access public repos :)
Free, no need to clone the repo and on the web.
The GitHub api doesn't allow for read only to private repos :(

Needs to be this way or no access to private repos. I can add the possibility to choose if people have a problem with the permissions

github api needs a personal token unfortunately. without each user signin it reaches the rate limit very fast
Re:Ask HN: Why can't we have LLMs writing documentation? on Sunday March 02, 2025 @05:43AM (#43229162)
Very true. Generated docs will never be able to do that part.

That being said from what I've seen at work (and I think other people experience the same), the bar is not that high. Meaning if the LLM generated documentation was able to explain what is happening without the "why" that would already be a significant improvement.

What do you mean by Microsoft has lost all faith in AI to do any of this?

Ask HN: Why can't we have LLMs writing documentation?

Everyone says documenting code is important yet no one seems to want to take the time to write such documentation. My question is wouldn't it be possible to just let a LLM keep reading your repo and generate the necessary documentation? People already use LLMs to code and are trying to make LLMs work as full developers. If we expect them to work as independent developers in the near future,...

I was also considering offering a 7-day money-back guarantee. Would that be enough to convince you to try it?
Re:Show HN: Built a cheaper easier to use Grammarly on Friday October 04, 2024 @08:05AM (#41740532)
Thanks for the feedback! You are right, I should have made it clearer that it is a Chrome extension. will change that as soon as I can. I am also not sure what made it not function correctly, I'll take a look and figure that out

Show HN: Built a cheaper easier to use Grammarly

Hey everyone,Long story short, I was writing my master's thesis and felt like none of the writing assistants did what I wanted, so I decided to create my own. The goal for it was to be a simple easy-to-use tool that uses LLMs to assist you in your reading and writing work.Would love to get your feedback on it.Cheers

Ask HN: Is Distribution King?

As someone with a technical background, I am just now figuring out the importance of the other aspects of a business, such as distribution.Used to feel that as long as you build a useful product the rest of it will figure itself out. That being said I feel like I'm just now realizing that idea is bullshit.

Hey, I'm Simão The extension currently works for LinkedIn and Indeed job applications. Let me know any ideas for new features, improvements or new platforms support you guys might have or simply review it on Product Hunt so that we can improve. Thanks for your time!

Show HN: I built my first project to automate job applications with AI

https://autojobs.site/

Hi HN, I'm currently finishing my grad degree and I've been trying to get a job. I noticed that filing out job applications is rather boring and takes a lot of my time for just a few applications. So, me and my friend created a Chrome Extension to automate that process. It takes your CV and, using LLMs, fills out the information in job application so you can just sit back and let the extension...

Hey, here are some issues that would stop me from buying your inner wallet: 1. Pricing is too expensive, I mean with those prices I could pay someone to help me manage my finnances once a month and I'd talk to a person instead of a bot. 2. Tracking my expenses isn't a particularly interesting feature since most bank accounts, that have their own application, will be able to display this to you. 3. Your most important feature (atleast it seems like the most reasonable one for someone to pay for it) would be to get insights regarding your financial situation. However, on the website feature descriptions there is not a good example of just how 'good' these insights could be. Thus, as a customer and knowing that you're using AI to produce these insights, I find it questionable whether or not those insights will provide any positive value to my financial situation other than billing me $10 a month. Even if they help me to get a better hold of my finances, you would be better of explaining me how are you going to make customers save more money than the money you charge them.
Hey just visited the page and one of the things that seems off to me is the width of your header and footer. On low width devices it seems ok but for higher width they don't scale accordingly. Lastly, on small devices it doesn't seem appealing at all to me. I think you should try reordering the rows, meaning that the square to insert the images would be on top of the page and then the email submission form. As an additional tip, I think readjusting the width of the email submission form for small devices to not use all the available width could improve the website appeal.

Hey, Just gave it a try and here are two questions: 1. Why can we search for the document tittle but not for the TAGs? 2. What is the purpose of the lock icon when the document is already locked? -I tried putting the password for the document, but nothing seemed to happen.

Ask HN: How do you use SEO?

Hi everyone!From my personal experience, SEO is only worth doing when you have validated your idea and want to generate constant traffic to your website. From what I understand it requires some time for any SEO effort to generate results, hence only being worth doing when your idea is validated.What do you think? Am I missing something? Do you have a different view on it?

Hey! I like the idea and might use it in the future when the need comes. I think the text bar on the landing page is not working as intended for multi-line inputs so you might want to double-check that. Otherwise, it looks great!

Hey!

Love the idea. I feel like videos like this for entrepreneurs can be a thing. I think you can even make them a bit longer and go a bit more in-depth into your thoughts, problems that you have been struggling with lately, solutions you found etc.

It reminded me of Sam Sulek's car talks where he is just rambling about whatever at the beginning of each video, and people seem to enjoy that kind of content.

Hey! The idea sounds interesting and I would be down to try it out. Any idea when that will be possible?
Hi, From what I've seen in your repo README, it seems like the user is redirected to a new window with ChatGPT. However, I think it would be much desirable if somehow the user could receive its answer that little window (chrome extension like) instead of being redirected. Do you think that is possible?
