Creator could have chosen literally anything else to represent their product but instead went with an animation of boy emojis fighting over a girl emoji.
This is exactly what we built Mira for. It's self-hosted, bring-your-own-model/BYOK, and most importantly, open source.
You point it at your own API keys (e.g. OpenRouter or a local model) so nothing leaves your infra, and it runs as a code reviewer on PRs.
It's also ridiculously quick at reviewing (benchmarks at ~77s) because your PRs aren't sitting in a queue on a cloud somewhere (alternatives are > 5 minutes)
We're working really closely with our users to build the best possible code reviewer. Feedback and contributions are highly encouraged.
A complete desktop app for browsing and editing your Postgres, MySQL, SQLite data, creating beautiful dashboards, and soon designing automated workflows for repeat tasks.
I've kept a devlog of the last 10 months of building DB Pro, which has been the best way to bring users to the product. I'd highly recommend folks starting a devlog if they can.
Finished reading the article, having really enjoyed it (I grew up with Terry's books), came back to the HN comments and the top comment is someone ranting "dIS iS aye-EyE sLoP"
What a terrible, terrible timeline we live in now. Seriously. I genuinely hate it.
We're building a product [1] to compete with DataGrip, a JetBrains product.
Many people told us we were crazy to compete with such a mature product as DataGrip before we got started.
It has been fascinating to speak to people who use database apps and to learn about their experiences.
Now, we have many, many customers telling us that they have cancelled their DataGrip/JetBrains sub and have switched to using our product, mainly due to speed but also cost.
One of my favourite things of being on HN is reading comments like this. Namely, devs who worked on games I played growing up. I absolutely love hearing stories from their past about little technical nuances like this comment. The more technical / specific, the better.
I'd honestly love to compile a book of "war stories" told by devs like netcoyote.
