Show HN: First background agents in Jetbrains IDEs [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuF2ajuxCOwTLDR: made the first background coding agent that has an isolated workspace and runs locallyHowdy - I’m Kevin, co-founder of Firebender, and we built the first background coding agent in android studio / Jetbrains!Why not just use Cursor background agents or OpenAI Codex?Both of these require setting up a cloud container and cloning your existing developer environment, and maintaining it. Then when you want to iterate on changes as AI inevitably makes a mistake, you either throw away the work, or have to pull down the branch and clean it up. This feels really clunky. With Firebender, background agents run locally in a lightweight git worktree/IDE tab. This means when the agent is done, you can easily clean up the changes and run code with a few clicks.Under the hood, the agent behaves similarly to claude code (didn’t want to reinvent the wheel), but also leverages all of the hooks into IntelliJ sdk like go-to-definition, find usages, auto-imports for accuracy, and it gives a cleaner viAug 26, 2025 4:50 PM

Show HN: 70 Days → 800 GitHub Stars (Cold Start) – My Secret Was a Problem Maphttps://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/README.mdHi HN,I want to share a story that might resonate with anyone who has tried to launch an open-source project from zero visibility, zero budget, zero network.Seventy days ago I created a repo called WFGY. I had no prior followers, no launch partners, no ads. Today, it’s at 800 stars and counting. Pure cold start.The “secret”? Not marketing. Not tricks. It was building a Problem Map.---#### What is a Problem Map?Instead of claiming my system “improves reasoning” or “solves RAG bugs,” I wrote down 16 concrete failure modes engineers hit every day:* Embedding drift (semantic ≠ vector closeness) * Chunking collapse (half-sentence vs full chapter granularity mismatch) * Versioning hallucinations (index v1 + v2 = ghost hybrid doc) * Pre-deployment ingestion collapse * Prompt injection bypasses * … and 10 more, all documented.For each one I built a text-only “semantic firewall” module that fixes the issue without changing infra. Developers could see their exact bug listed, mapped, and patched.Aug 26, 2025 1:06 PM

Here’s a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx8FyP7KvJg.It’s surprisingly hard to find good product data. If you want your software to recommend products and deep-link to merchants, you’ll quickly discover that the data you need—clean titles, normalized attributes, deduped listings, current prices and inventory, variant options, images, and brand info—is not just messy; it’s also spread across a long, long tail of retailers, and often lives behind advanced bot-detection systems.We ran into this problem while building an AI teacher that could recommend relevant supplies. We asked Exa for products, but got back articles, not structured data. Same for Tavily and Bing (deprecated as of 8/13/25). And we got rejected from affiliate programs, who suggested we come back with 1000s of TikTok followers. CAug 20, 2025 3:34 PM
