Bugs can really stop you in your tracks. Within an instant, you go from shipping to backtracking on your progress to fix errors. It’s not ideal, but thankfully, we have the technology to make it easier.
Ellipsis is a YC-backed AI tool that automates bug detection and squashing. It runs as a GitHub bot that automatically performs deep, LLM-powered code reviews, fills in PR descriptions, and can even fix bugs. Once you open a pull request, you will get an AI Code Review. As you write code, Ellipsis will update the summary and review any changes. If a bug pops up, you can squash it with a single click.
How does it work? When Ellipsis finds a problem, it'll leave a comment on the offending line, just like a human would. Then, you can tag Ellipsis to have it implement the fix. This allows you to write working, tested code right from the GitHub UI. It can catch logical errors, anti-patterns, security issues, spelling & grammar mistakes, documentation drift, and more.
Embarking on a startup is probably one of the most exciting experiences in life. You and maybe a bunch of friends getting together to hack away at a solution to a problem in the hopes of launching a company is a roller coaster ride of emotions, to say the least.
It’s not all fun and games, though. If you want to build a real, true-to-life startup, you’re going to have to think of some of the more tedious back-office tasks like company compliance, taxes, and payroll. These are things that, if not done correctly, could land you and your company in some very hot water.
That’s why Central exists. After founder Nilay Modi had to pay over $20,000 in government fines, he set out on a mission to ensure this didn’t happen to other startups. Central is a YC-backed platform built to handle a lot of government-orientated startup work.
Say you’re hiring a new developer. Rather than pulling your hair out from frustration, you can hand off the process to Central. From there, it will handle things like offer letters, payroll registration, compensation, payroll taxes, benefits, and more.
Built by a team of designers and developers, including Sam Odio, co-founder and former CEO of Freshplum, ShellMate is a lightweight, open-source app that aims to add superpowers to your Mac Terminal. As Sam puts it, “For developers, everything starts and ends in Terminal.” The last thing you want to do is break focus by heading to Google or ChatGPT for assistance.
As you hack away, the AI assistant will seamlessly provide dynamic assistance within your Mac Terminal while you keep your flow intact. It works in the background to automatically detect bugs and suggest fixes. You can ask ShellMate questions about your Mac terminal context and quickly highlight specific lines of text to call attention to an issue you need help with. It can even suggest the following command based on the ones you’ve run already.
The goal is to keep you in the Terminal and keep your concentration flow intact. Instead of jumping between different apps and sites to get assistance, ShellMate offers that assistance in-app.
