A bit like that. But for web dev, not sales intelligence. And, most importantly: fully offline (so you can be sure nobody learns about the sites you visit).
To be specific I wish I didn't have to forward a developer to an already obsolete wiki page then nod and smile as they complain/tussle with the experience/vernacular/context of a document that has no owner.
I think this is a bigger problem (which could be mine and mine alone as everyone seems to really like wikis) but I think being able to seed the developer environment with all the tooling config could help stave off (some of) this pain.
So my thoughts: a simple cli related flow gen tool which could generate this interactively. (And could also verify correctness)
Tools that I can think of from the top of my head that need to be configured to handle user config and private repo location(s) are git, docker and mvn/gradle/npm (etc, I figure all package management tools usually need this).
I like the way https://github.com/trailofbits/algo Works to collect configuration in this respect (Using ansible) as well as how eslint does it (I think using https://github.com/gkz/optionator) For setting up base config in the cli.
Anyway hope this helps seed an idea or at least might identify a problem (not sure how lucrative it would be though)
Let me give you just one example. VSCode + Python has a little tool for integrating with unittest/pytest. It’s pretty neat. There’s a little GUI where you can run your tests in the left panel.
But what if it’s a Django project? Even if you are using unittest, this thing no longer works because django doesn’t invoke the tests directly, but through manage.py. They have no official support for this. You can hack around it, but not without downsides.
Now lets’s say it’s not only a Python/Django project, but also an AWS/CDK project. You’ve got a bunch of typescript in there. And you have the CDK tests as well as the Python/Django tests. The tooling just isn’t able to handle any project beyond the most basic. I always find myself just reverting to the old vim+bash dev environment, as that’s what works.
I want to see an IDE that actually understands and works perfectly with complex projects as well as it does with the most basic ones.
- A build system / package manager like Nix [1] but with a better user experience / more straightforward command-line tooling. - A dependently typed programming language like Coq [2] (or Agda, Idris, Lean, etc.) that is sufficiently approachable to gain enough mindshare that companies start adopting it for mission-critical work. - A version control system which scales to petabytes or more. Something that I could put…

Working on it :) > - A version control system which scales to petabytes or more. Something that I could put large video files in without thinking twice about it.

I look forward to checking it out when it's ready!
To clarify: I use Vim as a text editor. I use it for all of my programming editor needs no matter what I'm making. I also make a large variety of things because I'm a consultant. Vim has never let me down as far as being able to intelligently edit everything from React to assembly and everything in between on every desktop OS. I'd like a debugger that is suitably small, fast and flexible.

Make web development experience in 2023 like desktop development experience in 1998.
I would love to see tools in these categories: - Sets constraints on how we write code - like a combination of a powerful linter and templates or patterns. - Visualizes code-base and flow of code - quickly navigate to the relevant code as well as show the available functions in the code-base so newly onboarded devs can more easily re-use code than write new functions. - Press record to capture 3rd-party requests and…
We have a collection of existing snippets user can already use in their IDE on the Codiga Hub [3]. Developers can define their own snippets and share them with their team.
We are still developing the product. It works with IntelliJ and VS Code and we have already a lot of users on the platform. Would love to hear your feedback!
