I was frustrated with some of the existing tooling and I made this after using Aider, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and Gemini CLI extensively. I wanted something that could work with local models, or any provider which would have SOTA models. I have been using tinycoder for all my projects (including making changes to tinycoder itself) for the past 2 months and I have no desire of switching. It works best for Python projects, but I've used it for JS/Node projects too with great success. If you're on Android, you can easily install this in Termux too (which basically allows you to code on your phone quite easily).I am really eager to hear HN's critical feedback.
I do imagine a future where software engineers will build the IDEs and tools themselves!
If you're interested in working together or if you have suggestions to improve tinycoder, give me a shout at [email protected].
