• How to Build a Dependency Map of a Legacy Codebase Using AI Tools

  137Foundry provides legacy modernization services that include dependency mapping as a foundational assessment phase. Prettier and ESLint are useful companion tools for enforcing code style consistency as the refactoring proceeds. Node.js and Python.org official documentation are authoritative references for understanding the import and module systems of those runtimes. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How to Prepare a Legacy Codebase for AI-Assisted Refactoring

  For Python codebases, tools like Python's built-in ast module and import analysis scripts can generate call graphs. For JavaScript, ESLint and module analysis tools serve a similar purpose. GitHub advanced search can help you find all internal references to a specific function across a large repository. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: Files.md – open-source alternative to Obsidian

  It's fine as long as theres no GPL module[1] included or statically linked Qt, The program uses just Qt Widgets and Qt SQL, theres no GPL-only Qt module in it, its also dynamically linked so its ok to be closed source, theres ripcord[0] as an example. I just want to avoid the wave of open source rebranding that will come with AI programming being so easily accessible as theres no respect when theres easy money... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• OpenAI Should Build Slack

  > And the 'start a thread' nazis Social issues can't be solved by technical means. Just slightly incentivised in some direction (like discord's "this is the third reply, would you like a thread instead?") But for the resource usage, ripcord https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ already proved you can have a capable client which is super light and fast if you care. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Our love letter to Internet Relay Chat [video]

  In practice yes. Lots of people developing and using third party clients. Of course it's not ideal with bans and API updates pulling the rug from under you with no warning, but actually not that many people get banned and ripcord (thirdparty client) was working for a long time even after being abandoned. ripcord: https://cancel.fm/ripcord/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Discord client that works on Win95*, Win98 and above

  Discord's first-level support was not willing to reinstate my account, and I had to² track down their head of security on Twitter to get my account reinstated. ¹) https://cancel.fm/ripcord/, no further development since. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Too many Mac apps are being built with Electron

  That argument would hold more power if there wasn't an existing native client for Slack and Discord, made by one person, with all the features I needed, working with absolutely no lag and minimal resource use, working on MacOS, Linux, Windows. Unfortunately the development stopped, or I'd still use it. https://cancel.fm/ripcord/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
