Description

I've been programming since I'm 6 and I don't want to quit. Since Agents came into existence I've been increasingly building more of the random ideas.BUT, like many I kept getting stuck and frustrated where I wanted to make changes with the Agent that I knew I could've made without it but I had *no clue* how things worked.I created Intraview to help me build and maintain a mental model of what I was building (or had vibed) so I could use my knowledge to either fix it myself, or provide more directed instruction. It grew into something that's transformed my workflow in a pleasant way.Intraview is a VS Code extension that allows you to create: - Dynamic code tours built by your existing Agent - Storage and sharing of tours (it's a file) - Batch Feedback/commenting inline in IDE in-tour and without (it's also a file)Here's a video walkthrough for the show vs tell crowd where I jump in a random (Plotly JS) open source repo and build a tour to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROBvFlG6vtYTalking tech design, this is very different than most because the whole App is cloudless. Not server less, there's no external APIs (outside basic usage telemetry). - basic TypeScript app, JS/CSS/HTML - Localhost MCP server inside VS Code (one per workspace open) Three of the biggest challenges I faced was: - re-considering the user experience given there's no database - trying to build a reasonable experience to manage MCP connection across so many different setups. - testing the many forks, Agents and themes because I wanted to make it look native (I'll probably reverse course here in future iterations) What I'm curious about is, where do you see the value: - New project/developer onboarding - PR reviews - Keeping up with Agentic code - Perf reviews (for EM), you could build a tour biggest contributions by a GitHub handle - Planning alignment and review with your Agent You can see the extension page in VS Code with these custom links (Note: this redirects and requires permission to open VS Code, won't actually install, takes another click) - for VS Code: https://intraview.ai/install?app=vscode - for Cursor: https://intraview.ai/install?app=cursor Once it's installed and you confirm MCP is connected to your local server, just ask your Agent: - Create an Intraview the onboarding for this app.. - Let's use Intraview to gather my feedback on [whatever you created]. Break down steps such that I can provide good granular feedback. Looking forward to your feedback and discussion.And because this is HN. A relevant quotable from PG. “Your code is your understanding of the problem you’re exploring. So it’s only when you have your code in your head that you really understand the problem.” — Paul Graham
