Hi HN -- I built HTTP:COLON, a small, open-source web tool for quickly checking a site’s HTTP response headers and learning what they mean as you go. Link: https://httpcolon.dev/ What it does - Enter ...
Hi HN, I have been working with regulation-heavy documents lately, and one thing kept bothering me. Flat RAG pipelines often fail to retrieve related articles together, even when they are clearly conn...
I'm Dan, and I built a CLI that lets AI agents design in Figma. What it does: 100 commands to create shapes, text, frames, components, modify styles, export assets. JSX importing that's ~100x faster t...
ChunkHound’s goal is simple: local-first codebase intelligence that helps you pull deep, core-dev-level insights on demand, generate always-up-to-date docs, and scale from small repos to enterprise mo...
