Hey Product Hunt! I’m Hyeyoon, and I’m here with the team behind OtterDr. The Problem: As developers, we’ve all experienced that moment when you hit a cryptic compiler error, your focus shatters, and you spend the next 20 minutes digging through stack traces or documentation in search of an explanation. Debugging often feels lonely, dense, and mentally draining. The Solution: We built OtterDr to make the editor feel a little more human. It’s an open-source tool that: - Translates Jargon: Uses AI to turn "technical noise" into actionable steps. - Visualizes Progress: Features a reactive mascot that reflects your code’s health in real-time. - Stays Secure: We built a custom message-passing architecture to ensure your data is sanitized by the extension host before ever hitting the UI. The "Offer": OtterDr is 100% free and open-source (MIT). Our "special offer" is an open invitation to our GitHub repository. We have a roadmap ready for new contributors to help us add more LLM support and custom prompts! We'd be happy to answer any questions about the process or the product! Happy debugging! 🦦✨
