I'm working https://annotate.dev , a tool inspired by the Stripe documentation, to let anyone create step by step code walkthroughs. Here's a sample of a walkthrough you can create: https://annotate.dev/p/hello-world/learn-oauth-2-0-by-buildi... Would love to hear any feedback thoughts!

This seems like a cool idea but I'd have to see it in action for something I need to learn.

The first thing that jumps to mind is that I want to click on a piece of code and see the explanation for it. It seems that it only goes in the other direction. I could imagine looking at the code and understanding most of it and just wanting to understand part of it.

I could anticipate an issue though - it could be many-to-one from explanation to code. The UI for that would be complicated.

We're non-AI and are all about connecting real people.

We created a better way to bring large distributed tech teams together for quarterly showcase events.

Events like demo day, hackathons and quarterly planning.

Our goal is bring employees together in realtime so they can actually meet colleagues from around the world and exchange ideas.

Ironically, when companies hold a DemoHop event, we hear from custoemrs that AI is often the #1 topic of conversation.

So maybe we're working on AI but only indirectly. https://www.demohop.com

Yes it's on the roadmap for sure! Want to be able to import RSS feeds and also have an RSS feed for every tag.

Delicious had the feeds for every tag, I think. It's been a long time, hah. They're definitely nice to have! I have something similar with my HN searches. Although HN doesn't have tags, HNRSS makes it so you can do this.

Thank you!

This is a great app, especially in this age of AI code generation, I am already using it. Looking forward for features such as light mode and exportability among other things.
