#842A “code index” tool that finds symbols in a codebase and creates a single table sqlite database for querying. It’s my second month using Claude Code, and I see a common pattern where Claude tries to guess patterns with grep, and often comes back with empty results. I’m writing the tool to prevent these fruitless searches. Using tree-sitter to parse the AST and add the symbols and what they are (function, class, argum…
Got a link?
No, not yet. I'm planning on a proper Show HN, once C and PHP are implemented. But if you want to be updated when I release it, I just created an empty repo for it here: https://github.com/ebcode/indexer-c

#845Still working on https://greatreads.dev/
Essentially, a platform to access articles from developer blogs.
I've been slowly adding new sources to the website. Any suggestions would be great.
I'm considering adding a feature that allows searching using vectors. Basically, you could search for something like "How to make sure your PostgreSQL database is configured correctly". And it would return the closest articles using vector search compared to your query. Is this something that sounds interesting?

#846Been working on Forvard https://forvard.org — a tiny desktop app to help people remember what they actually did at work. It’s offline-first and totally local (no cloud, no tracking). You just drop in your accomplishments, metrics, or files as you go, and later it helps you summarize them (ML model that runs locally) for performance reviews, promotions, or interviews. Basically built it because I got tired of trying t…
Love the idea, absolutely can relate (forget even overnight sometimes)! How does Forvard make it easy to retrieve the entries you're looking for when you have plenty and time has passed?

#847Working on documenting all of the publicly available stained glass possible. https://stainedglassatlas.com/
No fancy tech, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.
Always looking for contributors if you know of stained glass in your area!

#848I'm currently building my own coding agent, VT Code. VT Code is a Rust-based terminal coding agent with semantic code intelligence via Tree-sitter (parsers for Rust, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java) and ast-grep (structural pattern matching and refactoring). It supports multiple LLM providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, OpenRouter, Z.AI, Moonshot AI, all with automatic failover, prompt caching,…
This looks cool, I’m going to try it out. Does this mean the code tool can detect the use of t.Skip and immediately ask for a refactor without my input? Because that would save me a lot of pain!

#849I've become a bit addicted to online education. I finished my first masters degree in Computer Science in July, and I started a masters in Mathematics from The Open University at the beginning of October. I've wanted to really get into the weeds of obscure and arguably-useless math for about as long as I can remember, and I figure that getting a masters in it is as good a way to get that knowledge as any way else. Ot…
Can you tell me more about your experience doing a maths degree at Open University; what courses have you done or starting? Are there live lectures or is it just self paced? What about tutorials?

#850Working on personalized financial planning & investing for retail investors: https://fulfilledwealth.co
We're a SEC Registered Investment Advisor that combines financial planning with institutional style investment portfolios that are designed to achieve financial goals.
Highlights:
- Full money management platform at the core - expenses, budgeting, tracking across all your accounts. But instead of stopping there, we actually provide wealth building & financial planning tools.
- We model our investment portfolios using forward-looking institutional research at the asset class level and then recommend it to users as public ETFs that track the underlying index. This is extremely low cost for the client and allows us to model & manage custom portfolios unique to each goal that is created.
- No transfers needed, everything is GUIDED through your existing accounts via secure sync. We literally show you what to buy, when to buy it, how much, and (eventually) where to do it in your own brokerage/bank accounts. You stay in control, we just tell you the exact steps.
What's next:
- Building out "financial playbooks" next. Think step-by-step guided modules that walk you through achieving specific goals (building an emergency fund, buying a house, retirement planning, etc) with the investment strategy baked directly into it where appropriate. The idea is to combine the actual tactical planning actions (what accounts to open, important action dates, tax optimization moves) with the investment management, so it's a truly personalized experience.
Currently in open beta in the US. Any feedback is welcome!
