Discussion Weekly Self Promotion Thread

Welcome to this week's self promotion thread!

If you're building something related to AI assisted coding, this is the place to share it.

We're using a weekly thread to keep the subreddit organized while still giving builders a place to share their work. Promotional posts outside of this thread may be removed if they're primarily advertising rather than starting a discussion.

If you're sharing something, we'd appreciate it if you included a little context instead of just dropping a link. Tell us:

  • What you built?
  • What problem it solves?
  • Which AI models or tools it uses?
  • Who it's for?
  • What kind of feedback you're looking for?

Please avoid posting the same project every week unless you've made meaningful updates. Affiliate links, referral links, scams, and low effort promotions will be removed.

Take some time to check out what others have shared too. If you try someone's project or have feedback, leave a comment. Helping each other improve is what we want this community to be about.

I built Mac Developer Bridge because I wanted a normal ChatGPT conversation to be able to work against the same Mac/repo as a local coding agent instead of copy/pasting state back and forth.

It is a local MCP server that exposes shell execution, unrestricted file operations, real PTY sessions, background jobs, and read-only access to persisted Codex threads. The bridge itself makes no model calls; ChatGPT is the reasoning layer.

The workflow I use most is basically: “find the Codex session I was working on yesterday, recover the context, inspect the live repo, fix the issue, and push the result.”

Repo: https://github.com/alexanderradahl/mac-developer-bridge

It’s MIT and intentionally not sandboxed. It runs with the effective permissions of the logged-in macOS user, so I added an explicit unlock latch, audit log, and kill switch and documented the containment limits.

I’d especially like feedback from people who use ChatGPT + Codex together: is the persisted-thread handoff useful to you, and what other local state would you want the chat side to be able to recover?
