Show HN: My Attempt to Organize the World of AI Dev Tools(aicode.danvoronov.com) I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome. |
- Origin country listed for all tools, especially closed source.
- Information whether a tool can work offline and with a local model or does it rely on an external server.
- Funding model: VC, bootstrapped, or non-profit OSS?
I'm not interested in searching for the Origin country (I'm sure that in 90% of cases it will be the USA, then China) and Funding model, as I'm more into programming and I'm interested in the usefulness and stability of the tools. If someone does such OSINT and sends me the information, then of course I will add it.

Despite all the hoopla of “project knowledge” and supposed codebase-wide context, I still find reasoning models do their best when directly provided with files relevant to a problem and nothing more.
I plan to add a tree feature and restore some other features I had in prior versions.
There are probably other tools that don’t require completion API requested but assist in AI enhanced dev workflows.
Its to the point where if Cursor gets stuck on something I will just tell it to give me a recap of the details of the issue and suggest relevant files and then paste that into the Anthropic Console with thinking tokens set to max.
For example:
Why not have a column for which LLMs they give for free, with limits. A column for unique features. A column for pricing.
Right now it's just a wall of text I have to read.
Cool to see we're on your list!
Curious to hear feedback on it!
If projects have code on GitHub, it's easy to follow their updates, but if they are closed projects that post changelogs on their website, it's difficult for me to find an RSS feed. Usually, in the site code (like with Cursor), the feed leads only to blog updates.
Have you also looked at mcp?

mcp.run glams.ai smithery.ai skeet.build (disclaimer: I built this one)

Also there are a lot of cli tools in this space:
I don't mind copy-pasting stuff, especially when there's that cool tool to copy paste entire-directories and usually only work with one script at a time.
Currently been using VS Code and copy-pasting to ChatGPT (others seem to have much conversation limits, output limits, weak knowledge base, etc.). Was even thinking of buying CoPilot $10 tier but it has terrible (response length limits)[https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release/issues/3...].
What ever happened to devin? It was so super hyped ..
I wrote my first impressions of Devin here: https://thegroundtruth.substack.com/p/devin-first-impression...

Categorising these tools is quite challenging!
I'll (biasedly) throw in "Diamond" - https://diamond.graphite.dev/, and in general, AI code review tools as a whole category :)
It includes synthetic data generation, fine-tuning and evals to help build your own models.
