My friend and co-founder just released version 1.0 of Nanocoder, a CLI tool he's been building, to make it easier to locally code agentically, with large language models through Ollama and OpenRouter.
This is all in your terminal, to offer a similar experience to Claude Code and Gemini CLI.
Right now it’s very much MVP stage - works well enough to be useful, but rough around the edges. The goal is to add more features (better context handling, more tools, improved UX), and make it truly awesome for coding work.
I am a big believer in privacy and like Will, I'm a big believer in AI being open and for the people, not locked behind subscriptions or proprietary APIs. That’s why it’s open source and we're hoping to build it as a community.
If you think this is cool, I’d be grateful for GitHub stars and contributors to help shape where it goes next. Feedback, feature ideas, bug reports - all welcome!
Incredibly, I think a job posting with the same end goal has just been posted on Code Mentor, by a profile made only in June (2022). I could be wrong, but just in case - I took a screengrab to share with you all (find here: https://i.imgur.com/up7sMg3.png). In case I'm wrong, I've blocked out the profile in this screenshot - however if Connor wishes to investigate, I have saved more details.
We're evolving together a server-side production checklist for digital products geared towards web, and I'm super keen to see what our community here would add or change!
By no means is this checklist complete - can a checklist ever be complete? - but it certainly can be extended!
Please drop your feedback below on the Gist (or here) with any thoughts or edits :-)
Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing what our community at Hacker News has to say!
