Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Getting Started with GitHub Copilot Chat in VSCode
To get started using GitHub Copilot Chat in VSCode, ensure that you have access to the extension by checking your email for access privileges. You get access privileges through your organization or by being taken off the waitlist for the private beta for individuals. You also need to ensure that you have an active GitHub Copilot subscription.

AI isn't the solution to all problems
Using a tool like GitHub Copilot Chat, a developer could highlight a block of code and ask questions like the ones listed above. It's a great opportunity to interactively learn more about accessibility, the experience different users have on a website, and how best to ensure the pages they build are usable by everyone. The information will be contextual to their specific situation, making it more relevant and impactful to the developer.

Six tips for better coding with ChatGPT

I can't remember what the other platform options are, but for VSCode you need to use a preview version, which has meant I haven't had much time to test it yet as I'm full on with the stable release.

I Spent 24 Hours with GitHub Copilot Workspaces
My open source tool aider [0] has long offered a "AI pair programming" workflow. Aider's UX is similar but not identical to Copilot Workspaces.
Aider is more of a collaborative chat, where you work with the LLM interactively asking for a sequence of changes to your git repo. The changes can be non-trivial, modifying a group of files in a coordinated way. So much more than just the original copilot "autocomplete".
Workspaces seems more agentic, a bit like Devin. You need to do a bunch of up-front work to (fully) specify the requirements. Then the agent goes off and (hopefully) builds what you want. You need to fully understand what you want to build up front, and you need the describe it unambiguously to the agent. Also, even with a perfect request, agents often go down wrong paths and waste a lot of time and token costs doing the wrong thing.
That's not how I code personally. My process is more iterative, where I explore the problem and solution spaces as I build.
The other difference between aider and Workspaces is that currently aider is a terminal CLI tool. Although I just released a basic browser UI [1] the other day, making it more approachable for folks who are not fully comfortable on the command line.

Agents of Change: Navigating the Rise of AI Agents in 2024
Aider was developed by Paul Gaither and focuses on giving developers a pair programming experience directly from developers' terminals. This command-line tool edits code in real-time based on a user prompt in the command terminal. As of writing, it only supports OpenAI’s API but can write, edit, and refine code across multiple languages including Python, JavaScript, and HTML. Developers can use Aider for code generation, debugging, and understanding complex projects.

2markdown – Transform Websites into Markdown
I built a similar thing in python using Playwright and Pandoc [0]. It's used by aider's `/web ` command that lets you paste a markdown version of any webpage into your AI coding chat. This helps if you want to include docs for an obscure or non-public package/api/etc with the LLM while coding.
I really value dependencies which are easy for all users to install, cross-platform. Playwright is nice because it has a simple way to install its dependencies on most platforms. And the `pypandoc` module provides a seamless install of pandoc across platforms.
The result turns most web pages into nice markdown without requiring users to solve some painful platform specific chromium dependency nightmare.

Aider: AI pair programming in your terminal
Thanks for trying aider, and sorry to hear you had trouble getting the hang of it. It might be worth looking through some of the tips on the aider GitHub page [0].
In particular, this is one of the most important tips: Large changes are best performed as a sequence of thoughtful bite sized steps, where you plan out the approach and overall design. Walk GPT through changes like you might with a junior dev. Ask for a refactor to prepare, then ask for the actual change. Spend the time to ask for code quality/structure improvements.
Not sure if this was a factor in your attempts? I'd be happy to help you if you'd like to open an GitHub issue [1] our jump into our discord [2].

Ask HN: If you've used GPT-4-Turbo and Claude Opus, which do you prefer?
Have you tried something like Agentic’s Glide? (They announced it this week here on HN)
They use gpt, but they might be able to configure it so it uses Claude
Another tool to check out could be aider https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider

A Man in Seat 61
He should add AI to his site!
Not really - the site is great as-is and there's nothing wrong with this approach. It looks like it works really well for Mr. 61.
But I'd imagine it'd be pretty helpful to write tools to help with maintaining the site which do leverage LLM models. Do a combination of search + AI to rewrite + reviewing the individual edits (e.g. through selective git adds).
I'm imagining a tool like https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider (which I haven't tried yet, but it looks useful for this kind of effort).

Web Scraping in Python – The Complete Guide
I recently used [0] Playwright for Python and [1] pypandoc to build a scraper that fetches a webpage and turns the content into sane markdown so that it can be passed into an AI coding chat [2].
They are both very gentle dependencies to add to a project. Both packages contain built in or scriptable methods to install their underlying platform-specific binary dependencies. This means you don't need to ask end users to use some complex, platform-specific package manager to install playwright and pandoc.
Playwright let's you scrape pages that rely on js. Pandoc is great at turning HTML into sensible markdown. Below is an excerpt of the openai pricing docs [3] that have been scraped to markdown [4] in this manner.

DeepSeek Coder: Let the Code Write Itself
Thanks for trying aider, and sorry to hear you had trouble getting the hang of it. It might be worth looking through some of the tips on the aider github page:
https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider#tips
In particular, this is one of the most important tips: Large changes are best performed as a sequence of thoughtful bite sized steps, where you plan out the approach and overall design. Walk GPT through changes like you might with a junior dev. Ask for a refactor to prepare, then ask for the actual change. Spend the time to ask for code quality/structure improvements.
Not sure if this was a factor in your attempts? But it's best not to ask for a big sweeping change all at once. It's hard to unambiguously and completely specify what you want, and it's also harder for GPT to succeed at bigger changes in one bite.
