Show HN: Dynamic code and feedback walkthroughs with your coding Agent in VSCode 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=ROBvFlG6vtY

Talking 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.”

Show HN: Comet MCP – Give Claude Code a browser that can click

Show HN: Comet MCP – Give Claude Code a browser that can click Hey HN,<p>Claude Code is pretty agentic now. It writes scripts, calls APIs, uses CLIs. But when something requires actually clicking through a website, it stops and asks me to do it.<p>Problem is, I&#x27;m often unfamiliar with these platforms myself. &quot;Go to App Store Connect and generate a P8 key&quot; okay but where? I end up spending 10 minutes navigating menus I&#x27;ve never seen before.<p>I started delegating these tasks to Perplexity&#x27;s Comet browser. It handles the clicking, returns what I need. But copy-pasting between Claude and Comet got old fast.<p>So I built this MCP server to connect them directly. Now when Claude needs to interact with a website that has no API, it can just ask Comet to handle it.<p><pre><code> Examples: - Grab my app ID from RevenueCat dashboard - Generate a P8 key in App Store Connect - Navigate admin panels behind login walls </code></pre> I tried Playwright MCP but having Claude do the clicking itself overwhelms the context window. Comet&#x27;s agentic browsing just works better in my experience.<p>Comet doesn&#x27;t have an API, so this uses CDP to communicate with it directly.

Show HN: Witr – Explain why a process is running on your Linux system

Show HN: Witr – Explain why a process is running on your Linux system Hi HN,<p>I built a small Linux CLI tool called witr (Why Is This Running?).<p>The idea came from a situation most of us have hit: you log into a machine, see a process or port running, and immediately wonder why it exists, who started it, and what is keeping it alive right now.<p>witr traces a process, service, or port back to its origin and responsibility chain and explains it in a way that’s quick to read, especially when you’re debugging under pressure.<p>This is v0.1.0. It’s intentionally small and focused. Feedback, criticism, and edge cases are very welcome.<p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pranshuparmar&#x2F;witr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pranshuparmar&#x2F;witr</a>
