The tool helps me keep track of issues with my websites, which I think can be helpful to anyone with a website.

It runs at least once a day and does a lot of checks, such as broken links, bad meta tags, missing H1 and such, but more importantly one of the core focuses is internal linking, which has been shown to be very important to rank on Google.

Always looking for feedback, please let me know!

Hi HN,

I built dir2txt — a simple but powerful CLI tool that turns a directory tree into a clean, structured text or JSON dump.

What It Does • Traverses a project directory • Dumps readable file contents • Optionally strips comments (smart detection of comment blocks + patterns) • Respects .gitignore, .dockerignore, .npmignore, etc. • Outputs LLM-friendly .json or .txt files

Why I Made It

Working with LLMs like GPT-4 or Claude, I kept hitting the same issue: how do I give the model meaningful access to an entire project?

Manually pasting files is noisy and lossy. Existing tools like tree only give structure. I wanted one tool that could: •Structure the directory •Include the real content •Strip boilerplate if needed •Output in a format usable by RAG pipelines, code copilots, or embedders

Example $>dir2txt ./my-project --strip-comments --json > project.json

And then feed it into a vector DB or tokenizer for embedding + retrieval.

Install

Homebrew $>brew tap shubhamoy/dir2txt $>brew install dir2txt

Looking for Korean-language resources on RFIM or temporal graph modeling

I’ve recently started looking into system modeling and came across concepts like the Random Field Ising Model (RFIM) and temporal graph structures. I’m still new to this area, and while I’ve been going through English materials, I was wondering:

Are there any Korean-language resources, guides, or explanations on these topics? Even blog posts or translated papers would be helpful.

I’ve been obsessed with how traditional businesses in Africa and beyond are still stuck on Instagram, WhatsApp, and walk-ins — not because they don’t want to grow, but because today’s platforms don’t speak their language. Platforms like Shopify, Wix, and Bubble are too horizontal. They require too much thinking, design, configuration. The next wave? Hyper-vertical platforms that "think" for the user.

Imagine:

A platform just for spare part dealers — with inventory categories built-in.

A platform just for mobile barbers — with preloaded service menus and booking calendars.

A platform just for tailors — with customer measurement tracking and fitting reminders.

That’s what we’re building: the unbundling of Shopify, into verticalized, plug-and-play platforms for real businesses around the world.

We’re starting in Africa — where this leap can have a generational impact.

I'd love feedback on:

Best vertical to start with

How to balance UX simplicity with extensibility

Building a scalable engine for multiple verticals

AMA — and brutally honest feedback welcome.
