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.

Launch HN: Glide (YC W19) – AI-assisted technical design docs
Was able to try out Glide last night (https://glide.agenticlabs.com/task/IqHd0RV) with an open source repo (https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs) and really liked it
Pros: it was kinda easy to get started, and Glide was able to figure out something that ChatGPT hadn't, which made a big difference, because I was about to have to rewrite a bunch of code otherwise
Cons: some things were not very intuitive, the chatting window is small and it's hard to copy text and read things in a slightly longer conversation - also wish it would just ingest the repo and figure out what to include in the context by itself, the method/section searching/selecting is tricky to use
All in all I'm very excited about what Glide can do and look forward to seeing its evolution
Thank you for building such amazing tool

Ask HN: Hosting a CLI Tool via SSH?
Hi HN! I recently built a cli tool that uses AI to find job matches for software engineers (https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs)
Someone on HN suggested (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=azophy_2) I should host the application via SSH, so that anyone could just do: ssh commandjobs.com
I thought that was super cool, but after doing some googling, I can't find any good resources on how to host command line applications via ssh
Would really appreciate any links or information you could provide on how to do it
Thank you

Show HN: Tech Jobs on the Command Line
Excellent, thank you so much for the links, it's super interesting
It should be pretty straightforward to create a scraper for one of those portals
If you feel like taking a crack at it, checkout the code of the Ask HN who's hiring scraper here: https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs/blob/47b5c89402a3...
I added a comment under the Add Sources issue, to support Workday's career portals: https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs/issues/23#issueco...

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

Are you aware of the work on https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider? What's your take on generating code diffs directly instead of code editing instructions?

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.
