Visual Python profiler with flame graphs and diff mode
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1pa1it7/visual_python_profiler_with_flame_graphs_and_diff/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Features: - Interactive flame graphs (click to zoom) - Timeline view (CPU + memory over time) - Diff mode (compare two runs side-by-side) - Optimization coach (tells you WHAT to fix, not just WHERE) - Zero setup - launches with a realistic demo It's a single Python file (~5000 lines). Install PySide6, run it, done. Made it for myself while withdrawing on weed (to at least activate some dopamine receptors) but figured someone else might find it useful. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Scary_Panic3165 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Scary_Panic3165)

Documentation Exporter (For pasting into LLMs)
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1pa1rec/documentation_exporter_for_pasting_into_llms/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey, I built a tool that automatically exports every documentation page from any Mintlify site into markdown. No more manually copying pages one by one. You can grab full docs for things like the Anthropic API or TensorZero and drop them straight into an LLM. It’s live at docs-exporter (https://otso.veistera.com/docs-exporter/), and the source code is on Github (https://github.com/OtsoBear/docs-exporter.git). Built it to dump docs to models for myself, and posting it here if it could be useful for someone else! <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/OtsoBear (https://www.reddit.com/user/OtsoBear)
