Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6j3Nh
Gitingest is a open-source micro dev-tool that I made over the last week.
It turns any public Github repository into a text
extract that you can give to your favourite LLM easily.
Today I added this url trick to make it even easier to use!
How I use it myself:
- Quickly generate a README.md boilerplate for a project
- Ask LLMs questions about an undocumented codebase
It is still very much work in progress and I plan to add many more options (file size limits, exclude patterns..) and a public API
I hope this tool can help you
Your feedback is very valuable to help me prioritize
And contributions are welcome!

Show HN: Banan-OS, an Unix-like operating system written from scratch (Score: 150+ in 5 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6j4vy
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6j4vy
This is my operating system that I've been working for the past 2 years. All of the code is written exclusively by me except from ported software. banan-os has a monolithic kernel targeting x86 (i686) and x86_64 architectures. The project consists of bootloader, kernel and userspace libraries (libc, libGUI, libFont, ...). It also uses my custom C++ standard library partly based on stdc++.
Currently I have basic TTY and GUI environment with some of the basic UNIX utilities like cp, ls and stat. I have basic support for USB (keyboard/mouse/storage), disks (NVMe, AHCI), custom networking stack with TCP and UDP support, and a UNIX-like filesystem with /dev /tmp /proc filesystems.
The whole project is written in C++ except for my BIOS bootloader that is written in 16-bit real mode assembly. I have been testing the OS mainly on virtual machines but also frequently on real hardware.

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6iY5K
Hey HN,
I am a student shipping apps in my free time. This is my 4th for the year!
Non-fic books and podcasts have been part of my life for years now but I always struggled with remembering what I’ve read or listened to. I wanted it to stick even after years.
My notes list grew large but I never really revisited them. That’s why I created GinkgoNotes.
You can enter notes you want to recall and leave it to the app to create a personalised (based on spaced repetition) email schedule. That means you’ll get your notes emailed to you a couple of times exactly when you should read them again (based on Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve) so it’s certain that you’ll remember them.
I hope this will be helpful as it was for me. Would love some feedback!

Show HN: Outerbase Studio – Open-Source Database GUI (Score: 151+ in 6 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6iYUS
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6iYUS
We just launched Outerbase Studio, the open-source version of our core database offering. It works in your browser or as a desktop app and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
What it does:
• Connects to MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases.
• Spin up local databases directly through the UI, even if you don’t have one running.
• Manage and query your data in a lightweight, intuitive interface.
• Completely open source.
Why we built it:
We wanted to share the core Outerbase experience with the developer community as a free, open-source tool. It’s simple, fast, and removes the barriers to working with databases locally.
