Show HN: YouCode, a Search Engine for Coding Hi Hacker News, We're Bryan and Richard, cofounders of you.com. Together with our team of engineers, we are working on YouCode, a search engine for people who code. You can try it at code.you.com. The main idea is to make the search experience better and more efficient when coding. We’d love your feedback for a few use cases that we have in mind so far: * searching through StackOverflow for quick code snippets: reverting a git commit for example [1] * searching through GitHub Issues: when you’re getting an error message that looks unfamiliar [2, 3] * searching through the documentation for quick reference: PyTorch [4], HuggingFace [5], Docker, PyPi, AWS, MDN, and several others * searching for walkthroughs, tutorials, tips, and quick intros to a new subject: Medium [6], Tutorials Point, Geeks for Geeks, and others as well * searching for utilities: code completion (from a large language model that writes code) [7], JSON validator/formatter [8] * searching for relevant discussions and projects: HackerNews [9], ArXiv [10], Github Repos [11] * changing preferences in the account dropdown menu so that you can influence which sources you get answers from * doing all of this from VS Code: we made an extension to make that easier [12] YouCode is still a work in progress — we’re adding new apps each week and improving the search results — and we would love your feedback. Where do Google or other search engines leave you wanting more when it comes to coding searches? Which sources do you go to when you can’t get what you need from Google and others? What other utilities and use cases would you like to see? How else can we make this better? If you find something that we can improve, apps that you’d want to see, or a search query didn’t give you a good result, please let us know! We’re here to answer any questions!

Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
