Show HN: DevContainer AI – Generate dev container configs for any GitHub repo

2 pointsby nkko8 months ago
We&#x27;ve built DevContainer AI, a tool that automatically generates development container configurations for any GitHub repository using AI.<p>Try it out: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devcontainer.ai" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devcontainer.ai</a><p>Key features: - Paste any GitHub repo URL and get a custom devcontainer.json - AI analyzes project structure, languages, and key files - Open-source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;daytonaio&#x2F;devcontainer-generator">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;daytonaio&#x2F;devcontainer-generator</a><p>We built this to address the problem of developers spending up to 56% of their time on environment setup and maintenance. Our goal is to make it easier for anyone to contribute to any project without environment headaches.<p>This is just a proof of concept, but the vision is to create an AI-driven ecosystem where development environments are automatically configured, maintained, and updated across all projects, eliminating setup friction and allowing developers to focus solely on writing code and solving problems.<p>We&#x27;d love your feedback on the generated configs, the user experience, or any ideas for improvement. Happy to answer any questions!

Great to see this finally live. So much to do though, hoping for some help from the community
