vidosson Show HN: Codeflow – Understand a codebase quicker with PowerPoint-like tutorials

Nice. I did something very similar. See https://storytime.dev/

vidosson I completed Ultimate Go, took good notes and commented directly on source code

Great work. I will start adding stories to this repo using https://storytime.dev

vidosson Show HN: StoryTime – Create stories about your code instead of documentation

Thatz the idea. Current focus is to get as much feedback and implement them.

Great feedback. Moving this line by line to my TODO. Thanks again.

vidosson Show HN: StoryTime – Create stories about your code instead of documentation

Thanks. Will add support for text next to line. There is a watch window available in the editor when creating story. Not used in this story.

Thanks. Got similar feedback below as well. Will be moving this around.

vidosson Show HN: StoryTime – Create stories about your code instead of documentation

Yes - easily able to do a diff with previous versions will be of great value when creating a story. Its in the feature list backlog. Will get on it soon.

Code needs some memes and GIFs love :)

lol

vidosson Show HN: StoryTime – Create stories about your code instead of documentation

Current plan is to make this available for free to public repos. Will be adding an app in github marketplace for private repos. Code will be open sourced after some cleanup.

ya, starting to think play is more distracting than helping.

vidosson Show HN: StoryTime – Create stories about your code instead of documentation

Thanks. Will fix.

vidosson Show HN: StoryTime – Create stories about your code instead of documentation

Thanks. There is step forward / backward icons next to play. Maybe should just kill play?

vidosson Show HN: StoryTime – Create stories about your code instead of documentation

Noted. Will do.

vidosson Show HN: StoryTime – Create stories about your code instead of documentation

A copy of the code is stored in the DB. so its a snapshot of when you created the story. The annotations are react components added on top of the code. Soon you will be able to add custom components to annotate the code. (WIP)

Good point. Will add keyboard support.

Hi, OP here. Would love to get some feedback from HN community.

vidosson Ask HN: How to reach my target users?

Thanks. That make sense. Never know stackoverflow had this. Thanks for the pointer.

vidosson Show HN: Hacker-box.com Automate your frontend development

Appreciate you taking time to provide feedback. I really do. Not many people provide such detail feedback. Scrolling issue should be fixed. The key you saw is standard firebase recommendation for authentication. Will check the rest.

vidosson Ask HN: Any language that has syntactic support to highlight the main logic?

When I am reading someone else code I spend a lot of time figuring out a section of code only to realize its for some corner case. If only there is a hint thatz not the main logic will save lot of time. The fix everyone will immediately suggest is proper commenting which is clearly not working. I am just exploring alternatives.

vidosson Show HN: Imagine a search engine that removed top million sites from its index

Exactly what I was thinking in 2001 => http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/The_20Other_20search_20engine

Glad to see someone did it now...

vidosson Python Programming in your Browser: PythonAnywhere

Crashed my kindle fire browser!

vidosson Ask HN: Idea for the most fuel efficient gas car. Will it work?

Hm...! No wonder the fuel efficient cars look funny (Talking to you "leaf"). But it shouldn't be hard to break wind resistance. Say we ionize all the air molecules in front of car and bounce it off our way... :-)

Wait! need to put some thought in to that.
