Show HN: Nuanced – Help AI understand code structure, not just text


Introducing Nuanced, the open-source library that gives AI coding assistants and developers the deep code understanding they've been missing.

The LLMs powering these assistants have no equivalent to the Language Server Protocols (LSPs) that developers take for granted — they can't jump to definitions, find references, or understand type hierarchies. Instead, they examine source code as chunks of text (tokens) with a limited context window, and use embeddings — vector representations that capture statistical patterns but don't preserve actual program structure. Better error handling for malformed Python Consistent function identification across different parts of the graph Path resolution that works with how developers actually navigate projects A simpler query interface designed specifically for AI tool integration
