1. Show HN: TutoriaLLM – AI Integrated programming tutorials
URL: https://github.com/TutoriaLLM/TutoriaLLM
Author: Soumame
Description: Hello! I’m So Tokumaru ( https://tokumaru.work ), high school student from Japan working on ways to leverage large language models (LLMs) for K-12 programming education. Recently, I built a project called “TutoriaLLM,” a self-hosted application designed to support educators and students through a multi-modal LLM that offers guided tutorials.
TutoriaLLM integrates voice (voice-to-voice) and text-based AI interactions into Blockly, a block editor widely known for its use in Scratch. It enables server-side code execution and allows students to test their code directly in Minecraft (Bedrock or Education Edition) without any setup.
I’m actively developing this project and aim to bring it to a level ready for use in programming education by next year. I’d love to hear any feedback!

3. Show HN: muGen – Source-available GenAI Microframework
URL: https://github.com/vorsocom/mugen
Author: sandogeorge
Description: I started building muGen about four months ago and it’s now stable enough for me to share.
muGen is a microframework for prototyping and deploying multi-modal/multi-channel (3MC) generative AI applications. Written in Python, it aims to have a simple, lean, and extensible codebase that allows developers to mix and match technologies and vendors—such as LLMs, vector storage, and communication platforms—to get from zero to deployment quickly.
NB: muGen currently supports AWS Bedrock, Groq, and SambaNova as completion backends so you’ll need to have credentials for one of these APIs to try it. I will add support for more vendors as I get the time.

17. Show HN: Use a GitHub Repo as a CMS for a NextJS Blog
URL: https://youtubetranscriptoptimizer.com/blog/03_nextjs_github_blogging_system
Author: eigenvalue
Description: I recently needed a blog for my recent Next.js app, and wanted something that would look really nice and that could be integrated into my existing Next.js app to keep deployment simple and to give me more control over how it’s hosted and configured.
My goal was to get something that looked very slick, using modern CSS styling and rich client-side effects that would look great on desktop and mobile, and most importantly, something that would be very easy and convenient for me to create new blog posts and edit existing posts.
So I had the idea of using GitHub as the CMS and just writing the posts using markdown with some extra metadata at the beginning, and then basically parsing that into html/css. I know there are some other projects that do something similar, but mine is very minimal and easy to integrate into a project without a lot of configuration.
It ended up working really well, so I decided to turn it into a standalone open-source project, which you can see here:

Author: ToJans
Description: This little tool allows you to take multiple photos, load photos from a folder on your device, or save them to a folder on your device.
If you turn on geo-location, your filename includes the location, and you can see this location by clicking on the red pin.
Everything runs client-side in the browser, and none of your picture info is sent to any server.
This might come in handy if you need to go to a wharf, and take multiple pictures with a smartphone for example, and would like to easily see them & browse them, together with the location.

24. Show HN: I made an AI tool to turn long videos into short viral clips
URL: https://cyclips.com
Author: samuelito
Description: Hello NH!
Three months ago, after finishing university, I started a project called Cyclips. I started it both to help my brother with his content creation and to challenge myself in new ways. Initially, I thought I could finish it in one month, but it ended up taking three. Those three months were among the most intense of my life; I spent 16-hour days working solo as an indie hacker. Along the way, I faced discouragement from people around me who suggested I should quit and that my efforts were in vain. But I didn’t give up, and I’m grateful for pushing through and persevering.
Cyclips is a free tool (with video size limitation for free users, with HD output) built with Next.js and FastAPI, alongside frameworks like RabbitMQ and Redis. The backend turned out to be more complex than I’d anticipated. I had to learn and integrate new technologies, such as wav2vec for precise timestamp alignment, as well as OpenAI’s Whisper and other APIs to handle transcription and analysis.
Here’s how Cyclips works: Users can log into the dashboard and input a YouTube video link (with plans to support more platforms in the future). The software then analyzes the video, identifies engaging topics, and automatically generates potential viral clips. It also uses face detection for auto-cropping and adds auto-generated subtitles. To top it off, there’s a clean, interactive video editor to refine your clips to perfection.
I’d love to hear your feedback!

26. Show HN: AI to write nonfiction books tailored for you
Author: liorgrossman
Description: Hey HN,
As an avid reader, I read many nonfiction books every year. While enjoyable, I find that nonfiction books usually contain a lot of information that is not relevant or helpful for me.
That’s why I decided to build TailoredRead (https://tailoredread.com/). It’s a tool that uses AI to write full-length books that are tailored specifically to the reader.
Here’s how it works:
1. You answer a few questions: book subject, key topics, your background, your goals
2. The AI generates the book outline - title, description, chapters and subchapters, key insights, etc. I found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet produces great results here, but I want to give GPT o1 a try as well.
3. Our backend starts a worker that orchestrates the creation of the book. This typically takes 5-10 minutes, and you can start reading the book as it’s being written. Here I found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet produces significantly better output than GPT 4o and other models, but it still requires a lot of prompting and breaking down the book into smaller chunks.
4. We run a dedicated worker to create the book branding and cover with Claude, DALL-E, and some CSS.
5. The book is created and formatted in a semantic HTML format, which is then displayed in a book-alike paginated interface, similar to Kindle (React/Next). You can also download the book as a PDF or send it to your Kindle device.
So far, I’ve seen early users create fascinating books about a diverse set of subjects, e.g. programming, business, science, history, travel, hobbies, etc. There are 100+ free book samples from our early users here: https://tailoredread.com/books
I’d love to hear your feedback about TailoredRead and answer any questions you may have!

28. Show HN: Aide, an open-source AI native IDE
URL: https://aide.dev/
Author: skp1995
Description: Hey HN, We are Sandeep and Naresh, the creators of Aide. We are happy to open source and invite the community to try out Aide which is a VSCode fork built with LLMs integrated.
To talk through the features, we engineered the following:
- A proactive agent
Agent which iterates on the linter errors (powered by the Language Server) and pulls in relevant context by doing go-to-definitions, go-to-references etc and propose fixes or ask for more files which might be missing in the context.
- Developer control
We encourage you to do edits on top of your coding sessions. To enable this, we built a VSCode native rollback feature which gets rid of all the edits made by the agent in a single click if there were mistakes, without messing up your changes from before.
- A combined chat+edit flow which you can use to brainstorm and edit
You can brainstorm a problem in chat by @’ting the files and then jump into edits (which can happen across multiple files) or go from a smaller set of edits and discuss the side-effects of it
- Inline editing widget
We took inspiration from the macos spotlight widget and created a similar one inside the editor, you can highlight part of the code, do Cmd+K and just give your instructions freely
- Local running AI brain
We ship a binary called sidecar which takes care of talking to the LLM providers, preparing the prompts and using the editor for the LLM. All of this is local first and you get full control over the prompts/responses without anything leaking to our end (unless you choose to use your subscription and share the data with us)
We spent the last 15 months learning about the internals of VSCode (its a non-trivial codebase) and also powering up our AI game, the framework is also at the top of swebench-lite with 43% score. On top of this, since the whole AI side of the logic runs locally on your machine you have complete control over the data, from the prompt to the responses and you can use your own API Keys as well (can be any LLM provider) and talk to them directly.
There’s still a whole lot to build and we are at 1% of the journey. Right now the editor feels robust and does not break on any of the flows which we aimed to solve for.
Let us know if there’s anything else you would like to see us build. We also want to empower extensibility and work together with the community to build the next set of features and set a new milestone of AI native editors.

30. Show HN: LLM Function Calling Library to Interact with File, Shell, Git and Code
URL: https://swekit.dev/
Author: soham123
Description: Hey HN,
I built SWE-Kit, LLM toolkit (Function callable tools) which makes building agents specialised in coding like Devin very easy.
I noticed a typical pattern while building local agents: creating & perfecting LLM tools to interact with system or codebase was the repeated and time-consuming. We created a layer that simplifies building agents that can interact with code, file system, git, shell and allows you to quickly solve for a wide variety of coding agent use cases.
Aren’t there open coding agents already? Well, yes, but most folks would want to solve their specific use case like a large refactor and current coding agents aren’t customisable to your specific use case or aren’t meant to be molded to different workflows.
The idea is to provide a library of tools so you can build software engineering agents with a few lines of code in agentic framework of your choice.
We have solved following hard parts for everyone -
- Optimized Coding Tools: Includes Code Analysis, File Operations, and Shell tools for seamless interaction with codebases and operating systems.
- Browser Interaction Tool: Enables navigation and interaction with UI-based applications and codebases.
- Framework Agnostic: Compatible with frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and Autogen, this allows you to work with your preferred setup.
- Third-Party Integrations: Connects with applications like GitHub, Slack, Jira, and Gmail to build fully autonomous, end-to-end AI coding agents.
- Flexible Deployment: Run on Local, Docker, Fly.io, E2b, AWS Lambda (soon!)
Is this the 10x Coding Agent I was looking for?
No this is not a coding agent but allows you to build your custom coding agent in framework of your choice.
We have created some templates to get started quickly though:
- GitHub PR Agent: Autonomously reviews GitHub pull requests with full codebase context.
- SWE Agent: Writes new features, debugs code, refactors, and creates tests.
- Codebase Q&A Agent: Enables natural language interactions with the codebase.
To better showcase the SWE kit’s capability, we tested it on [swebench.com](https://www.swebench.com/), the benchmark for testing coding agents. It scored 48.60%, whereas Devin scored only 13.86%.
If you end up using this, please do provide feedback and if you need help building coding agent feel free to reach out to us
I (Soham) & my cofounder Karan are both active on this thread to answer any questions!

URL: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/starizon-ai-ai-agent-and/cnidodnbcjondpfpoapckiajkhnhelej
Author: imdoge
Description: Hi HN! Solo developer here
I recently developed an browser extension AI assistant, It’s somewhat similar to Sider, Monica, and Merlin(though with fewer built-in features than those tools).
One cool feature that sets it apart is smart scraping and monitoring. You can chat with it in the sidepanel to scrape webpage data, save as actions, and even replay them on similar pages without extra token costs. Plus, you can set up scheduled webpage monitoring based on these actions, with alerts sent right to your browser notifications, email, webhook, or a Telegram bot if certain conditions are met.
You can log in to start using it, or customize it by setting your own API key, base URL, and model (even local model addresses work!) to unlock most features.
Would love to hear any feedback or ideas for features that would make it more useful!
Thanks for reading, and feel free to ask questions or suggest improvements!

39. Show HN: I’m building an AI tool that turns Design Systems into React components
URL: https://www.robustlaunch.com
Author: imadjourney
Description: Hi HN! Solo developer here. 10 days ago, I started building this after spending countless hours copying/pasting marketing sections and fighting to keep them consistent with our design system.
I wondered: “What if AI could understand our design system and generate React components that actually match it?”
Current progress (10 days in):
- Can generate hero sections that follow your design tokens
- Uses your actual component variants and styles
- Works with Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui
It’s very early days, but I’m excited to share it with other devs who:
- Are tired of rebuilding similar marketing sections
- Want their components to actually match their design system
- Need to ship marketing pages faster
Would love to hear from you if:
- This resonates with your daily struggles
- You’d like to try it out and share feedback
- You have ideas that could make this genuinely useful
I’m building this solo and really want to understand if I’m solving a real problem before going deeper. Comment about your design system pains!
Goal: Save developers hours of repetitive work while maintaining design consistency

43. Show HN: Discovery-Based Wishlist App to Keep Gift-Giving a Surprise
URL: https://www.surprisemeplz.com
Author: hidemyfire
Description: Hi HN,
I built SurpriseMePlz, a discovery-based wishlist app designed to keep the surprise in gift-giving. Instead of sharing wishlists directly, users create lists linked to their social media handles (Instagram, TikTok, Telegram). Friends and family can “discover” wishlists, so no one has to awkwardly ask, “What do you want?”
Why I Made This: I noticed that many people feel uncomfortable sharing wishlists outright. My sister is like this, and I wanted a solution that kept gift-giving spontaneous and less direct.
Tech Stack:
- Built with MERN stack
- Frontend on Vercel, backend on Vercel
- Faced a few first-time deployment challenges especially with deploying express on Vercel but learned a lot along the way
It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but with Christmas coming up, I wanted to share it early so it might help anyone else looking for a more natural way to give gifts.
Would love any feedback or suggestions! Here’s the link if you’re interested: www.surprisemeplz.com
