• Show HN: We are building open-source IDE powered by AI agents that work for you

  We've been building devtools for years now. We're really passionate about the field. The most recent thing we built is https://usedevbook.com. The goal was to build a simple framework/UI for companies to demo their APIs. Something like https://gradio.app but for API companies. It's been used for example by Prisma - we helped them build their playground with it - https://playground.prisma.io/ Our new project - e2b... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Show HN: Prisma by Example – Interactive Playground

  The goal of Devbook si to allow devtools projects and companies to showcase their tool in an interactive without any hassle for the devs. Everything is prepared and configured for you. Every code snippet is runnable and editable. You get your own database thanks to CockroachDB. The code runs in a microVM (Firecracker) that's just for you.

• Fly Machines: An API for Fast-Booting VMs

  This is really really exciting! I hope it enables more product built on top of full VMs with fast UX/DX. I just wish I knew about this earlier because from what I read, I think we at Devbook [1] built pretty similar service for our product. We are using Docker to "describe" the VM's environment, our booting times are in the similar numbers, we are using Nomad for orchestration, and we are also using Firecracker... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Show HN: Add live runnable code to your dev docs

  We are looking for some specific use-case that would make our go-to-market strategy much easier. It feels like the product we offer is way too general.

• What is the best way to utilize google?

  I found DevBook which is quite useful. It doesn't solve the searching issue but it cuts down on the results you get back. Not sure if it'd be useful for you or anyone scouring the comments. Source: almost 4 years ago

• I created a vscode extension that brings you stack overflow answers.

  Not trying to undermine op here but I've recently been using a tool called Devbooks and it's really cool. It's not a vscode extension though. It lets you search stack overflow and almost any language's/library's documentation without leaving your current window. Source: about 4 years ago

• I am bad at math, will this affect me trying to learn code?

  I recommend creating a new email account solely dedicated to your journey into coding. I also recommend getting comfortable with MDN Web Docs, Stack Overflow and this nifty software called Devbook will help. (I just hit alt+space and a search engine to stack overflow pops up).
