19 by tnesbitt210 | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39730891">2 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
Interactive Smartlog is a graphical VSCode extension that presents a simplified view of the Git log, directly highlighting the branches and commits that are most relevant to your current work. And it's not just a visual tool — it's fully interactive, allowing you to add/switch/remove branches, stage/unstage files, and manage commits directly from the GUI. This tool draws inspiration from Meta's Interactive Smartlog built for the Sapling source control system, and I've adapted it to work with Git. Transitioning the functionality from Sapling to Git wasn't just about a one-to-one feature transfer; it involved changing how data is queried & presented, as well as introducing UI interactions for several Git concepts (like branches, staging/unstaging changes, etc) which are not present in the Sapling source control system. Originally a personal project to enhance my own workflow, I've published the extension on the VSCode marketplace for anyone who would like to use it. I'm keen to hear your feedback and suggestions, as community input is invaluable in shaping its future updates.

Over the past few years I've struggled to find good/trusted resources for things that might be useful to those with ADHD. Common issues with other sites were: * Very limited options and/or info, or products that weren't actually useful. * Blog post or news articles like "top 10 things to help with your ADHD" often had limited info or didn't have enough context to be useful. * Unclear if some authors had ADHD or experience with ADHD. In some cases you could tell a random writer got assigned this post to write, but had no idea what ADHD is really like. * Walls of text or cluttered/overwhelming design, meaning that the content was too hard to read and/or the site made me anxious (after which I bounced). As a result, I created ADHD STASH, where I've tried to: * Limit content length and complexity, while sharing key info * Use design that feels friendly and fun * Give people the option to find products/services based on use case or problem areas * Only recommend products where I own them and have tried them for a significant period. Questions/Feedback Any constructive feedback is welcome, especially from people who have ADHD! In particular, it would be great to get real world feedback to help me validate/invalidate my hypothesis that the design/content is ADHD friendly and if the latter, what I could improve upon. P.S. Since I bought all these products to test out of my own pocket and that I use Apple ecosystem devices, it's only natural that some of the options listed are Apple centric. That being said, I'm saving up to get some more Google/Windows related devices to test! P.P.S. Some affiliate links for the US are a bit fiddly (aka, showing search results instead of products, even when something is in stock), but I'm trying to fix that atm.

Two years ago, I started building this site that allows people to document their learning and progress in real time. The idea is: as you learn new things, you document your progress piece by piece, creating a collection of failures, breakthroughs, and knowledge. Along the way, your friends can cheer you on, and the community can give you tips and feedback. Over time, we'll create a public collection on how different problems were solved. With each progress, the site prompts you to reflect on questions like, "If you could go back in time, what do you wish you had known?" This was my first web dev project, and everything was self-taught. It's been both a great passion and a significant learning experience! All feedback is welcome, big or small. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Stack: Angular, Python/Postgres, AWS, PWA service workers for notifications.

Hi, I'm Will. I'm 24, autistic, and have OCD tendencies. I'm learning to code and this is my first public project. I’d really appreciate your feedback and encouragement! This project lets me solve some of my OCD problems online. There are a couple of parts of the forums that I visit – Space Battles, Sufficient Velocity, and Questionable Questing – that I want to remove. Specifically, I hate seeing indicators of how much is left in a forum thread, because I keep thinking about how much content is left. It stops me from immersing myself in the story. It stressed me out. Before I learned to code, I'd use my hand to block the total chapter count so I could read the blurb and see the word count. I would do my best to ignore the page navigation bar except for the next page button, but I usually ended up failing. One of the reasons I always read in full-screen Safari is that I didn't have to see the tab name that always had the page number. I learned not to hover my cursor over the window because it would tell me the page number. This project is a series of userscripts that hide those indicators. I coded the userscripts in JavaScript, and I used https://ift.tt/O9C4lTv as the system. Despite the fact I didn't know what a userscript was until I started coding them, AI assistance allowed me to code them with minimal help from my brother, Stevie. Khanmigo helped me plan, write, and debug code. ChatGPT taught me the theory. Part of the reason I coded a lot faster with the later userscripts is I knew enough to realize when AI was talking about something irrelevant and redirect it. One cool moment was when I correctly predicted I didn't need to code different userscripts for SpaceBattles and Sufficient Velocity because Sufficient Velocity used to be part of SpaceBattles. I find it relaxing not to have to worry about accidentally seeing the chapter count or the final page number. Maybe they’ll help one of you!
