I Built 2 Open-Source Developer Tools in the Past Few Days

For the past few days, I’ve been heads down building tools I personally wanted to use as a developer.

Today, both are fully open-source and live on GitHub, production-ready, documented, and built with clean architecture.

Developer AI Assistant (Discord Bot)

An AI-powered Discord bot built for developer communities.

It can:

• Analyze code snippets

• Explain stack traces

• Generate documentation

• Analyze GitHub repositories

• Track developer skill levels

• Summarize technical discussions

Built using Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, and OpenAI.

File Management CLI Tool

A powerful CLI utility for organizing and automating file workflows.

It supports:

• Organizing files by type or date

• Smart renaming templates

• Duplicate detection via hashing

• Metadata extraction (including EXIF)

• Watch mode for real-time automation

• Plugin-based custom rules

• Safe dry-run mode

Designed to be fast, safe, and extensible.

Both tools are:

• Fully documented

• Cleanly structured

• Built for real-world usage (not demo projects)

• Open for contributions

I’ll be sharing individual posts for each tool with deeper breakdowns. Would love feedback from the community.
