tshepom··on Open Deep Research
Maybe these open projects start to get more attention when we have a distribution system/App Store for AI projects. I know YC is looking to fund this https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs
tshepom··on Show HN: Ambrogia – Personal Health AI
The idea here is simple:

Your health record persists with every query so you get personalized health recommendations. A personal WebMD

tshepom··on Show HN: Visually Edit React in VSCode
I built this to make it easier to see what I’m making as I’m making it. No extra installations or extra import step. Create React components visually or pull in designs as code from Figma, right inside the IDE.

tshepom··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
Thanks for the detailed feedback! All makes sense – on it now.

Ah I see, yeah the "double-click to select container child/text" ux is meant to mimic keynote's implicit grouping mechanism, which works the same way.

It's mostly to prevent empty "phantom" containers that people aren't aware are affecting their project layout.

I've been thinking about changing this to the straightforward, single click to select whatever's topmost and visible. Will have to if the current ux bothers people.

Thanks for the kinds words! Performance has been a huge priority from day 1.

This all makes sense, and I've definitely been feeling the integration pain when I want to export code elsewhere – GitHub support coming soon!
tshepom··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
Thanks! If double-clicking or pressing the enter key while the text element is selected doesn’t work, it’s likely a bug. Are you using Firefox by any chance? I just tested on chrome and safari.
tshepom··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
Great questions! I’ve got upcoming features for version control – it’ll still involve conflict resolution in git, but much easier than current code export methods. So far I’ve focused on good code export readability to address integration into existing codebases.
tshepom··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
Thanks! Yeah it’s exactly that - pure js and canvas element for custom drawing. No UI frameworks. It’s all custom so there’s no open source reference, but I plan to release some open source stuff.
tshepom··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
It's built entirely from the ground up – no ui libraries. It's focused on simple, PowerPoint-like usability instead of Webflow's complex, Photoshop-like approach.

Thanks, Vasek!
tshepom··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
Yeah it was, and got it will update now. Thanks!
tshepom··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
Thanks! Pricing will be freemium, resembling Figma where we charge teams per seat or for usage past a certain threshold. But it’s important to me to keep it virtually free for the casual individual.
tshepom··on Show HN: Easier, Free Webflow
Yep, you can find them at https://aspect.app/layouts. You can also add components while you're editing a project.
tshepom··on Show HN: Generate HTML and CSS by Drawing
Ah, just pushed what should be a fix for both – they stem from some ad-blocking software seeing firebase analytics as ad software.
tshepom··on Show HN: Intuitive Code Search
We can use Google to search the web, but we don't have simple tools to search code using intuitive queries, until now.
tshepom··on Show HN: Search code using natural language
We're likely not going to open source it, and we're using machine learning. We're in beta, hence the email page.
tshepom··on Show HN: Search code using natural language
Google, for your codebase. Search code using natural language with our vscode extension, Metacode. Let me know what you think!

Queries like 'user sign up', 'delete file' etc. work even if those specific keywords don't exist in the code. Example gif is Metacode searching linux kernel.

tshepom··on Show HN: Write code using natural language
That would be awesome! But yeah nothing like that for iOS comes to mind.
tshepom··on Show HN: Write code using natural language
Not yet, right now I just have a tutorial window that shows up the first time you use the code builder feature, and the videos on the home page. Open to suggestions!
tshepom··on Show HN: Write code using natural language
I wrote a comment about how it works: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19985482. Will do a short blog post sometime soon.
tshepom··on Show HN: Write code using natural language
Ah, interesting! The difference between Metacode and something like AppleScript is that the artifact left over from using Metacode is still the rigorous programming language you're used to. If we retain a query log, you could even convert your natural language queries into code comments alongside your code to actually improve clarity.
tshepom··on Show HN: Write code using natural language
Of course: the app draws from a database of thousands of snippets that are cleaned up and generalized with some scripting. Natural language queries are handled like search, with semantic matching over both natural language and code structures. Content within the snippet like naming, "subject"/"target", and values are dynamic (use # to modify those values) – but it still needs work. As for auto layout, I actually have a feature for that on the roadmap but wasn't sure it was a common problem – bumping up its priority!
tshepom··on Show HN: Write code using natural language
Yup, just Swift right now, but collecting requested languages here: https://forms.gle/Yfgxn3yi4JHvjmD17
tshepom··on Show HN: Write code using natural language
I'm very committed to the project and use it myself everyday, but I understand that point of view – it's a bit of a moonshot. Please let me know if you have any specific criticisms
tshepom··on Write code using natural language
Ah gotcha, but I can't seem to update it.
