    Project mention: Show HN: Every open source tool from the "What's HN working on" thread | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-28

    Pretty cool, nice to have an easy to read list.

    One issue I noticed with my project [1] is that the description is for the wrong thing. This is probably partially my fault, since I wrote about two projects in one comment [2]. The music production app is closed source, but the UI library I maintain for it is open source. Seems like that might have thrown off your AI tool.
