What's the biggest benefit of coding with an AI pair?
Hi ProductHunters, What's in your opinion the best part of chatting with an AI while coding? I start first: The best part? Analyzing ideas, questioning architecture, and brainstorming concepts. Being able to talk through your thoughts with someone (or something) while shaping your idea — it’s not just cool, it’s incredibly useful. StackOverflow was fun — when someone had your exact problem. But...
What I learned from the first 25 CommandChronicles users
I started CommandChronicles to fix a pain I thought was personal: Wasting time trying to remember that one command. You know the one — it fixed something critical, and now it’s gone. But I needed to validate the idea and gather real feedback. So I shared it with a few dev friends. No pitch — just: “Hey, does your terminal history ever get you mad?” Then 25 devs tried it. And that changed...
Postpone the launch or ship now? One feature stands in the way
Hey Product Hunters! I launched the MVP of CommandChronicles at the end of June — a secure, searchable, project-aware CLI command history manager that syncs across machines. Since then, I’ve been building non-stop, iterating daily based on early feedback. Now I’m at a crossroads. I’m preparing for the official Product Hunt launch, but I’m torn: Should I launch now to collect feedback early — or...
You asked about security - Breaking down the zero-knowledge encryption model
Thanks for all the security questions on my CLI history sync tool. You're absolutely right to scrutinize this - command history contains sensitive data. Let me break down the E2E encryption approach: How it works: you create a local account using a username and a password a secure key (64bytes long) is derived from your credentials using Argon2id all your captured commands are encrypted with...
What I learned building a terminal productivity tool from scratch
I built a tool called CommandChronicles to fix a personal itch: I was tired of losing CLI history across machines history | grep wasn’t cutting it rsync scripts broke often So I built something better. A searchable, encrypted CLI history tool that syncs across devices and stores project context, execution info and lets you add notes. Here’s what I learned along the way: Most devs don’t just...
