Curiosity for those who are building projects (or trying to build):
What is the most annoying or repetitive problem you face in your daily life as a builder?
(It may be something small, but it bothers you every day.)
Currently what gives me the most work is marketing.
I'm trying to better understand the behind-the-scenes of the builder's journey.
If you can share, I’d love to hear!
Frank – a CLI that generates commit messages and mocks your code with surgical sarcasm
I'm a developer, and if there's one thing that makes me procrastinate and that I hate, it's writing commit messages. Especially when the code is a mess and I can't even explain what happened.
With that in mind, I'm creating Frank, a command-line bot that:
- Generates plausible commit messages (based on changes in your code)
- And also comments on your code with sharp humor, like "I'm tired of your mess".
The target audience is devs (mainly backends and fullstacks) who:
- Live in the terminal
- Are too lazy to write decent commits
- Hate “cute” assistants who treat everything like a productivity spa
- Like sarcasm and are self-critical enough to laugh at their own code
The goal isn't to automate everything or pretend that committing is fun.
It's just to lighten the boring task with a dose of sarcasm and make your Git history less embarrassing.
I'm validating the idea and would love to hear what you think:
- Would this be useful in your day-to-day life?
- What kind of dev do you think would use this all the time?
- Do you have any suggestions for sarcastic comments for Frank?
Have you ever had a headache with a poorly done commit that you don't even understand later? Like: fix: things
> …but no one knows what things are — not even you.
