Show HN: A desktop fly drawn to the scent of vibecode (github.com)

2 points by kulikov0 23d ago ↗ HN

It is a fork of https://github.com/DenisSergeevitch/desktop-fly, but with an important update.

Now the fly can pick up the scent of the codebase with its neurons and fly straight to the source code of your B2B AI SaaS startup. It has learned to scan its surroundings for agent markers: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, .kiro/steering, and forty others. Anything on the screen that points to these markers becomes a source of the scent - an editor window with an open project, a line in Finder, or a desktop icon. An open project reeks the strongest, while a closed icon or nested folders give off a fainter odor.

I did a port of this on https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS#desktopfly

You can go to https://dustinbrett.com/?app=terminal and type "fly" to spawn one, or many.

I also took the raw FlyWire data and increased the neuron count to 1,275.

Thanks for this, really interesting parent project too, I went down a rabbit hole on that one :)

What did I expect?

Idk - this is a fork with a vibecode detection feature; ask the original authors ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fair enough!

Presumably, you expected a project that talks about the stench of AI-developed software not to be covered in the stench of AI-developed software.

This is the best Show HN title I've seen on this page

I saw the My Little Pony shell prompt and knew immediately that this was to be taken very seriously.
