- Better formatting for text: (1) bullet points (2) markdown-like links (3) Slightly different background for code.

- More "sub-reddits". We already have Ask/Show HN. We probably can add a couple more to keep everything organized.

- Option to auto-collapse comments threads deeper than X levels by default. When they are all open by default like today, only the top comment and its children get more of the eyeballs.


The formatting of text is a pain that I haven't figured out a good solution to. To do it right, I'd have to convert the existing HTML to markdown, then convert back to HTML.

It would be nice if HN just put the unstyled text in the page and then used JS to render it, but I'm sure there would be complaints about that too.


2024: I used to split time between IntelliJ IDEA (10% - for Java) and VSCode (90% - for everything else).

2025: Stopped writing so much Java, so used VSCode exclusively for Python, TS etc, with Claude Code or Cline.

2026: Time is split between Codex App (40%), Claude App (30%) and VSCode with Claude Code (30%).

Some other thoughts:

* Overall I feel like opening an IDE in the traditional sense is coming to an end.

* Tech-stack wise I am much more open to trying out new things than before since LLMs will help with the setup and debugging.

* For small teams like ours, code reviews are the bottleneck, and we constantly have to decide what code we review vs what we don't.

* Building seems easy these days, but (1) so much competition no in every field, (2) much more product polish is expected than before, and (3) most products compete with Claude if they realize this or not.


Three of us friends are working on "Data Engineer in a box" or "Cursor for Data": https://getnile.ai

Our thesis is that a lot of Data Engineering practiced today is non-differentiated across companies and they'd rather spend that time on differentiated tasks. What if we can abstract away a lot of the tedious parts of DE work and let companies focus on just the data they want to store, and the questions they have on their data?

So today, we have an MVP that manages the compute, storage, lineage, versioning and pipeline building for datasets. Would LOVE to get feedback on this or your early thoughts!


It would be great if I can run this as a browser extension that works on Zillow and Redfin.


Microsoft, Apple, Amazon ...


Nice! Would love to use it.

I don't have a midi piano. Wondering if it is easy for you to support my inputs using microphone. I think there will be several noobs like me with the same problem.


Thanks! It's definitely on my TODO list. Ideally I'd like to add support for pitch recognition for acoustic pianos and guitars.


https://imitone.com/ is what I use.


Nice features, and very professional website!

As others have mentioned, adding account integrations will make this much easier to use.

I would also love to hear more of your story, and motivations around this project.


I actually wrote a manifest about it :) https://wealthfolio.app/blog/wealthfolio-manifesto/


This is amazing! Very well done, very entertaining game.

Feature request: Please create an apple TV app for this. I'd love my kids to play this on the TV together. I'd pay for this.


Interesting! Does Apple TV have a web browser? I’d be curious if it would work there


> true 2-way sync between code and a drag-and-drop visual editor...

EXACTLY what was missing in many tools, and exactly what is required for reducing the time from quick prototype to production quality code.

Congrats on the launch. Looking forward to trying this out. Please add support for AWS Bedrock based models.


Apppreciate it and will add to tracked request. You should be able to use OpenRouter or the the Vercel AI Gateway.


Does anyone know whatever happened to the Haiku family of models? They've not been updated since 3.5! Did Anthropic give up on them?
