It upgrades your GitHub pull request review experience with a guided walkthrough of the PR optimized for reading.

They're very useful for finding bugs and edge cases you've missed, but they lack something only you have — "taste."

You have more context. You know the people, the business, and the product better than any coding agent. You know when an abstraction is unnecessary. You know what needs a comment. You know where to break the rules.

And, for that...

Nothing beats "reading" the code.

Problem is, reading code is not easy. It's even harder if your tools are designed for storing code rather than reading it.

That's why I built Guided Review. It's a chrome extension that converts your Github PR into a guided walkthrough so you can actually read code in clustered changes (not just big scrollable list of file changes in alphabetical order).

Abstractions is an app that indexes your codebase and sends out a weekly newsletter to you and your team about how different functionalities or concepts work.

You might already ask Claude to answer your questions about your codebase. This works the same way, but it doesn't wait for you to ask. It understands the code, figures out a topic, and sends out a newsletter every week.

It's free for now as it is BYOK (supports Anthropic and OpenAI models) and simple compute is cheap.

The tool also doesn't store your actual code; it only stores embeddings and a high-level summary of the code.

I'm planning to open source this because I wouldn't give a random app on the internet access to my company's codebase, but I only want to spend time on it if it's interesting to people.

Would love to know what you think.

The F1TV app is not available in my country on play store on my Google TV. The first time, I logged into the device using the android debugger to install the APK - I didn't want to use an ad-full app. Then I tried LocalSend, and it is now my default to send the APK from my mac to my android tv. Love the simple experience. Minor quirks in the UI, but gets the job done.

Would love to see how this turns out though! Great work

TL,DR;

It is a cached proxy for your GraphQL API with automatic purging.

Deploy it in front of GraphQL API, and it will start caching all requests passing through it. Your cache gets automatically invalidated if anything changes in your application (when you send a mutation) Queries are only sent to origin if there is a cache MISS

We're in the process of moving from a REST API to a GraphQL one, and I really want to do things right this time with an automated test suite.

We did something like this with our early users. Called the thing "The Builders Program"

For the medium, have one default you use but don't limit things to it. If one of your early users wants to use twitter to contact you and give you feedback, use that. We created a Discord server, had a group Twitter DM, used Email.

One thing you should do early on with these users is show them you are listening. Pick something they say and ship it as soon as you can. If they see you're listening, they'll be more active in sharing feedback.

In exchange for being part of the builders program we gave them lifetime free access to the product later on.

But here are my concerns with the Git contributions to reward performance.

A company I interned at installed a Git history analysis tool, and used stats from that in 1:1s and performance reviews.

About a month after I joined, I had one such 1:1 with my manager. He was like, "Congratulations! You made 53% of all contributions to frontend last month. You're our star performer."

I wasn't. I was responsible for upgrading our frontend from React 15 to React 16. Most of the changes that happened were thanks to the Codemod, and a lot of find / replace magic.

And

Command + Option + Shift + Click

Works on most default OS things you can click on. Reveals a whole new set of amazing functionality.

Example: Doing so on the bluetooth icon on your menu bar, gives you the debug option for you to reset / restart bluetooth module.
